she had been too busy to read at home,

tees to set foot upon the island of
Japat.
She was very pretty, very smart and
delightfully arrogant after n manner
of her own.
Mr. Saunders was the polite but ex-
cessively middle class clerk who went
out to keep the legal strings untangled I
for them. 1------ ----- — --------

He was soon to discover
that his duties were even more com-
prehensive.
Tt was he who saw to It that the
luggage was transferred to the lighter
which came out to the steamer when
she dropped anchor off the town of
Aratat; it was he who counted the1
pieces and haggled with the boatmen;
It was he who carried off the hand
luggage when the native .dock boys
refused to engage In the work; it was
he who unfortunately dropped a suit
case upon the hallowed tail of the red
cocker, an accident which ever after-
ward gave him a tenacity of grip that
no man could understand.
If Lady Depplngham expected a roy-
al welcome from the iuhabttnnts of
Japat she was soon to discover her
error. Not only was the pictured
scene of welcome missing on the aft-
ernoon of her arrival, but an overpow-
ering air of antipathy smote her in the
face as she stepped from the lighter,
conquest in her smile of conciliation
She glanced from right to left down
the lines of swarthy islanders anti snw
nothing in their faces but surly, bitter
unfriendliness. They stood stolidly,

the Denton county display began Im-
Among the new voluntary mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
is a minister who paid up his sub-
scription until the first of January.
This gentleman is a newcomer to
Denton, but that he is progressive
and a rustler we are convince 1 by
this action.
A noticeable exhibit was the black
Minorca eggs of Mra. M. C. Sits whieh
were awarded the premium for both
the heaviest doaen and also for the
nicest and most uniform looking.
The heaviest dozen hens weighed 73
pounds and were owned by Lawrence
Bell of Aubrey. Route 2, and were
the Barred Rock variety. The best
1909 turjtey gobbler was a good one
and the fact that Dentou county mar-
kets about *40,000 worth of turkeys
annually necessarily attracted consid-
erable attention It was raised by
Thos A. McGall'ard of Garza. Gar-
_den stuffs were abundance and the
quality cannot be surpassed, individ-
ual articles being almost unbelievable
in size and flavor. The largest wa-
ter melon only' weighe' forty-six
pounds, the crop being rather late
this year. It was brought in by
Jack Hollow wa of Garza and Kot the
premium of 25 tents per pound or
311 50 for the melon. Cantaloupes
were in profusion and were excee
ingly fine. The fruits were as near
perfection as nature can produce. An
attractive incident was the statement
of a drummer who lives in Salt Lake
that he had witnessed many dis-
play? throughout California and the
fine fruit grow ng sect'on of the
Northwest, but had never seen any-
thing to compare with our Denton
county fruit, and this is an off year
in Denton’s fruit crop, too. The
prize for corn was awarded to J. T.
Wakeham. His corn was fifteen feet
and seven nches tali and contained
two ears and one shoot, one ear of
corn 14 3-4 inches long and 12 In- shot and killed Bob Hammond, pro-
ches !n circumference, an; the second
ear only,lightly inferior. Other corn
was fine, some having three well de-
veloped ears. The best stalk of cot-
ton contained 112 forms and was
raised by J. W. Balk. T. B. Breed
Ing's entry was a close second with
104 forms. The wheat display was
good and scaled 61. Wheat harvest
in this section be1 ng over entries in
th's commodity were few. However,
the wheat was fine and maintains the
reputation heretofore established by
Denton county, our wheat having
taken the first premium at the state
fair until barred, at the St. Louis
expos tion and at the World’s fair at
Faris, it having never been defeated
The best farm display was the center
of attraction in the exhibit hall and
emphasized the great posslbil'ties of
diversificat'on. J. B. Hobson cap-
tured the honor by exh biting 61 dif
ferent products grown on his place.
With twenty-seven distinct varieties
of soil in the county the opportuni
t'es are indeed flattering.
Tile needle work and culinary dis-
plays were good and at all times
were the attracting feature to many
Had es and girls as well as gentle-
men.
Much butter displayed was
as close to perfection as human art
can get.
1 There was, unfortunately, no prize
offered on Irish potatoes, an over-
sigft that will be remedied next time.
But Claud Cook from northwest of
the city showed a peck of Irish po-
tatoes that could har’.ly be excelled.
Every one was of exceptional size,
and all were about the same s’ze,
smooth and clear and solidly form-
ed. Mr. Cook had not dug all his po-
tatoes, so did not know what the
yield was, but be had already gather-
ed what would be a good yield with
more to come.
Frank Raley, who offered a cold
drink to everybody oa the prize-w-ln-
ning wagon for the largest number
of persons on it, dealt orit eighty-
seven "treats." mostly ice cream.
A lot of folks who had no exhibits
were pos'tive they would have a good
one next time. Several stated they
had products better tha^ anything
shown Saturday and will have them
here next time. ,
The free automobile rides attract-
ed lots of attention. Eleven big tour-
ing cars, thanks to the generosity of
local auto-owners, were put at the
crowd’s disposal and every trip they
made was with machines crowded
Out North Elm street to the Urn'ts
and back down North Locust was the
route and it gave a splendid illustra-
tion of the difference between a fair
dirt street and a model piece of ma-
cadam. The marines ran for sever
al hours and it is supposed that ev-
erybody who wanted to got a ride
The same attraction will be a feature
of the next trades day.
The Shetland pony parade attract-
ed a lot of attent'on. The children
riding nearly thirty of the ponies
made the trip around the square It
looked almost like a circus day.
The exhibits gave convincing proof
of the fact that Denton- is the great-
est diversifying county in Texas. Not
a crop can be mentioned that can be
grown in this latitude or altitude
but had a sample shown and when-
ever you see exhibits, as was the case
there, with farm after farm showing
forty or more strictly agricultural
products you can know that you have
stuck the head-fountain of diversifi-
cation.

as if he were contemplating an instan-
