Tuesday night to.deoide as to whether
or not n three day tournament would
be held in Humphrey in July, the sol

970oand 180b had been, raised. This
amount was considered insufficient to
meet the ' requirements of n three daya
tournament no the meeting adjourned'
until Friday night of thia week to give
the soliciting committee further time to
eeeure more money. The last year
Humphrey celebrated the Fourth of
July, about 925 was raieed.eo it seems
to us that a half more than thia ought
to be easily rained for a three daya
tournament any day of which would be
equal to a 4th of July celebration.

while he was still rubbing bis eyes.
This little episode he subsequently
referred to as "th hurricane touch."
Similar anecdotes of the old man'a
wit are cherished aa particular pos
sessions. George Ade has one that
he entitles "human gratitude." Late
one night he was surprised to find the
proprietor asleep behind his own bar.
On being roused, that worthy showed
a marked disinclination for business
and n strong desire to be let stone
So Ade -pulled down the blinds,
stacked up the cuspidors, locked the
cash register and called a cab. With
some difficulty he elicited an address
and then for what aeemed hours they
jounced over out-of-the-way streets
until at last the cabbie drew up before
a ramshackle little box of a frame
house with a stairway running up the
outside. All this time the passenger
had slept sweetly. Out of the cab
and up the rickety stairs, puffing and
blowing, Ade bundled his charge. On
the top step he lost his footing and
the two of them rolled 'higgledy
