A Word to Young Wives.

A widowed woman in middle life was
once asked by friend, if she should
ever marry again? NO" she replied,
in all candOr and with no traces Of Bit
terness, 81. am too old to learn to live
with another man." She recognized
the fact that there were peculiarities of
character and disposition in every one
that required an especial education as
onewent along to make life harmonious.
Perfect adaptability cannot be expected
from those who had been brought up in
widely-differing homes and spheres
oftentimes. Young ladies brought up
on novels make no account of this fact,
hence much of the disappointment and,
perhaps, bitterness Of spirit which arises
when the fact dawns upon them that
the beloved one is only commonplace
mortal with many failings, like her
father and brothers and uncles, or even
herself.
Take it for granted that there will be
Objectionable points of character or
manner that are real trial. But do
not take it too much to heart. Above
all bury the fact in the secret depths
of your soul, rather than speak of them
to others. Nothing spreads faster than
the whisper that a young wife is dis
satisfied with her husband. A prairie
fire cannot keep up with it. And trjtles
light as air are magnitied as they sweep
along, until you would be astOnished at
the results. You have gained nothing
and lost much. But woman of cheer
ful tact and a loving heart can educate
young man into almost any style she
chooses. Sulking and fretting will never
do it, but brave, true heart and steady
persistence will make over a character
marvelously. | have seen it done more
than once, not the less effectively be-
cause the work went on all unconscious
". That was the beauty of it. Dear
girl, if you find John is not the ideal the
novels pictured him, you can mould him
into something a great deal better, and
at the same time establish yourself as
queen of true heart, a sphere wide
enough to satisfy even an ambitious
woman.
Do not give yourself too much dis
tress over tribes that may be unimpor-
tant, though not exactly to your mind.
Allow to each person a certain amount
of individuality. Often those most in
tolerant of these things in others are
those Of the most marked peculiarities
themselves. Differences of early train
/ ing make marked difference in habits,
which may be q source of much discOrG
if you only give it full play. But a bet
| ter way is to pass over in silence what
/ cannot be remedied. and not waste too
: TnuCn sentiment OYeTIT People can be
very happy in each others society,
where love reigns, even though they are
very unlike in many respects.
You will need to learn the art of liv-
ing harmoniously, with almost any
of character sufficiently marked to be
of anv force in the world. An ener-
getic, efficient character will have its
angles. Learn TO dwell more on the
good traits than to be always searching
with microscope for the little failings

What could DOllie do? The house

A sudden thought came to Dollle
She went into the buttery and took
down a small. wide-mouthed bottle,
closely corked and marked Cayenne
Pepper.n She took out the cork, con-
cealed the bottle in the palm Of her
hand and went into the other room.
Green had not found the money, but
he had seized upon fine gold repeater
which belonged to Mr.. Durand, anGS
which he used only upon rare occasions.
His never-failing companion was big,
silver time-keeper, which he carried in
his fob.
"Ahr' repeated Green again, and
hurried to the still open door Of the
kitchen to examine the watch more
closely.
He had time to see, by the fading
sunset light, that it was even more val

DOllie raised her little hand, and
quick as lightning dashed a portion Of

With a shrek of agony, the man
dropped the watch and clenched his
hands over his eyes as he leaped out
into the yard. With howls and yells
he danced about the doOr-yard and was
tumbling over the wOOd-pile as Dollie
saw him last. before she locked and
double-barred the door.
She picked up the watch, restored it
and went to the window. She had to
wait but short time before her faith

She flung up the sash as her father
and brother sprang out and approached
the suffering mortal, who was still kick

He sneaked away, and without the

THE FAIR.
THE FIRST DAY.
Il. Il. w.

The Fair opened Yesterday. None of the
departments are as well represented as last
year, but there are many excellent exhibits
the entries aggregating over one thousand.
AS usual the attendance was small yesterday.
The very creditable display heretofore made
by our dry goods merchants is lacking, but
the omission is easily accounted for by the
fact that the public mind has been completely
absorbed in the sad event which eliminated
last week in the death of our beloved Presi-
dent, and the ceremonies incident to the
burial. The farm exhibits are not large for
the very good reason that most crops have
been damaged if not ruined by the drought,
but if any one supposes the county destitute
of fine fruit and vegetables, let him visit the
fair and be undeceived.
The exhibit of fruit is highly creditabe
We also saw some large vegetables. D. O..
HOLLON, G. B. MILLS, B. HORTON, Hon.
H. L. SCOTT, JOHN LANE and Mr.. YOUNG,
each have good exhibit of vegetables, which
will be more particularly mentioned hereaf-
ter.
The exhibit of horses and other stock is
not large bnt good, and we'll worth seeing.
The display of stoves and hardware by
MERCUR & Co., and DYE & Co. is excellent.
G. L. KIRBY and III. 4. BURBANK occupy
POWELL & Co.'s building. The former with
good show of patent medicines and Il soda
fountain, from which the representative of
the REVIEW was regaled with glass of birch
beer, the most delicious beverage to be found.
Mr.. Burbank is explaining the merits of his
grease cXtractor--a really meritorious article.
0. A. Black has the Davis Sewing machine.
The 80 cent and cent store each have large
display of crockeTy. J.F. Corser has fine
exhibit of boots and shoes and other leather
goods, Fitch the confectioner occupies an
entire building. Frost's Sons and Pierce fill
a building with large display of furniture
The Educational department is an interesting
feature. Holmes & Passage exhibit musical
instruments. There is fair show of dairy
products and fixtures, and agricultural imple-
ments. Fine specimens of stock and poultry.

Cleveland, Ohio, and in the past three years has Wis

His business has brought him in acquaintance with
many of the most eminent and talented Physicians
in the State and in his intercourse with them has

which he has compounded an article he calls Calk
