A Plea for Mother Hubbard.

To the Editor of the GRAPHIC
Talk about inconsistency in women! If there
Is an inconsistent, crawfshing act of womankind
on record that opportunities to that of men on
the Mother Hubbard question we wish some man
wonld kindly mention it. For years the one un-
failing, inexhaustihle excuse for the display of
all the sarcasm, cheap wit and general splenatic
cussednsassSShat man flesh is heir to. has been the
mannerG .%@fashion after which mankind has
been wof#Ssto adorn itself. It is Hamlet speak
ing to Ophelia in the selfish savagery of his grief:
You jig, you lisp, you amble; God has given you
one face, and you make yourselves an other" It
IS the man of to-day saying: You paint and pow
der, and wear tight boots; you wear too much
clothing in summer and next to none in winter.
You bleach your hair and poison your eyes, and
above all you cram your vital organs into half
their natural compass" This has been the CRY
until even the dull, cold eur of woman has
grown wearied with it. Perhaps, who knows7 it
may have had something to do with the invention
OF the much abused and vilifed Mother Hubbard
easy. comfortable, constructed upon health
principles, totally unsrgRestive save to the mind
teeming with unwholesome fancies, now the OBJ
jective point of all the denunciation that their
imagination of man can fnther! Pray tell us,
gentlemen, without dealing any longer in glitter
ing generalities, what you find i'll the Mother
Hubbard to groan at and screen your eyes from?
Some one has indefinitely said that it reveals
more than it conceals. Women are not generally
accused of being dull-witted, but we have found
no woman yet whe is able to evolve any sense ont
OF this very epigrammatic statement. Just how
q sarment hanging IN straight, classic folds from
the shoulders to the hem Of the skirt, and pro-
vided with a good substantial covering for neck
and shoulders can reveal aught to brighten the
gaze of modest manhood, passes feminine COM

The Fair.

The third annual fair of the Brule
County Agricultural Society took
place liz Kimball on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week. While in some depart
ments the exhibits were not equal to
that of last year, yet we can safely say
the fair taken as a whole was the
best ever held by the society. 1t
would be impossible for US to write
up in our limited space a full report
of the fair, we can only note a part.
A permanent building was erected
SKIS year which was filled with a mis-
geous display of vegetables,
s5sss,dry goods, boots and shoes,
work, fine arts etc. etc. The
Say of vegetables was not as
farge as that of last year, but some
exhibits were particularly good,
notably that Of J.. w. Smlth, who
had a number of mammoth squashes,
some of them weighing over 90
pounds, also q splendid display sof
melons, potatoes and grains. J. N.

The Platte Creek club and the Kim
bail club played a game of ball on
Thursday resulting in the defeat of
the Platte Creek club by 80 to 8.
The Gilman boys bet on everything
and when the races were over and
Frank couldn't bet on a ace he want
ed to bet $40 the sun wouldn't shine
the following day.
The races were by far the best at
traction at the fair. In this connec-
ton we would suggest to the Asso-
citation that they leave out another
year all trotting purses unless they
are able to offer large enough purses
to bring trotters here that will make
a race of some interest.
The society did not feel able this
year to sink a well on their grounds
and accordingly made arrangements
to have barrels kept filled with drink
ing water. On Thursday the water
gave out and the barrels were not re-
filed as they should have been, which
unfortunate circumstance must not be
blamed upon the officers of the So
ciety, but upon the man whose bust.

1t has been a common remark in

We are more than pleased to note an
exception in the case of the recent

number of Chamberlain's best people

Kimball felt honored by their pres
ence. We heard a young lady strans

are awful good looking people any
way" with all of which we agreed of
course. We intended to note the
names of all those in attendance, but
they kept coming SO fast we found 1t

display Of stoves. d. Warner made
q very large display of Dry Goods,
Boots & Shoes which attracted much
attention. The display of fancy
work, drawings, paintings etc. was
decidedly the best in the hall. Had
it not been for the interest taken by
the ladies Of Kimball in the fair the
hall would have presented a sorry
appearance. We never saw a better
exhibit of fancy work at any county
fair. Another year we hope to see
the merchants of Kimball follow the
example set them this year by the
ladies, and all turn out with their
goods. We shall have something
to say on the subject at some future
time. The Misses Morris and the
Misses Jacobson both had beautiful
exhibits of millinery goods. The
space devoted to house plants was
well filled and added much to the
attractions of the building.
The poultry exhibit was excellent.

A 300 Year-Old Bible.
Minneapolis TribuD.]

lMl1HeapollS lrlDul9.
A curious and valuable book has recently
come into the possession OF Mr. S. A. Thomp-
son, of this city, it being q Danish bible of
the year of 1856. 1t was printed ut Copen-
hagen by Matz Bengaardt, and is one Of the
second edition ever used i'm the Scandinavian
peninsula. s history is known for the past
POO years, having been in the Svendsgaarit
family for that time, and it contains the fam
lily record for most Of this period. About
seven years ago it was brought to this coun-
try by l.. SvendSgaardt, and after changing
hands several times, was recently purchased
by Mr.. Thompson in Otter Ia. county.
The book shows traces of its age, both from
its worn condition and the style Of its bind
ing. The covers are Of Norway pine some
five-eights of an inch In thickness, and COW
cred with hog-skin. The corners are finished
in brass, figured in fanciful shapes, which
have been battered and worn till whatever
beauty they may once have had has been lost
The work is profuse in its illustrations and Is
valuable chiefly for these, as being we'll
preserved specimens Of the engravings Of
three centuries ago Quaint and curious are
some of them. The creation of Eve is one
such the idea being taken from the literal
wording of the scriptures. Adam is asleep,
and the Creator is drawing a fully-devel-
oped woman from his side. A curious thing
is that in the sky the sun, moon, aud stars
are all to be seen at the same time. Many
of the engravings, if not all. are made in
accordance with modern rules of @rial per-
spective thing not always done in works
of that century.
A singular fact is that in the New Testa-
ment there are no engravings until Revela-
tions is reached. The life OF Christ had not
a single scene, and the only representation
of Him is where He appears to John in Rev.
elations. The value Of the book is not far
from 81, COO, and Mr.. Thompson is in COM
munication with parties east who wish to
purchase it.
