why a Woman Married.

A Gynic has said that one-half Of the
marriages are for money or for homes,
one-quarter are arranged out Of pique,
one-eighth are love affairs purely and
the remainder are agreed upon in order
that one or the other Of the parties may
escape the prosecutions Of unwelcome
suitors. The following story from
Chicago is strangely contradictory or a
portion Of this theory at the start and
confrmatory OF its close: One Of the
members of the late Emperor Freder-
lexis personal staff when he was only
Crown Prince was Baron Won Oyear-.
don. lie had "a beautiful daughter,
Countess Marie, whom he wanted to
marry to an old nobleman who was i'm.
Countess fell In love with dashing
young surgeon In the German army.
She married the surgeon and her father
disinherlted her. One night in 1883
the surgeon was shot by an assassin In
wife that he was sure his murderer was
the rich old sutton whom she had tilted,
and he made her swear that she would
never listen to his suit. The widow

How Banlanas are Made.

The material of which the bandcna
Ia Spanish word) Is made is either silk
or cotton, and is dyed in different col.
ors--more commonly red, but some-
times also yellow and blue, with round
or diamond-shaped spots all over it.
The process Of the manufacture of the
bandana is this: The material is first
dyed the desired color, and d pile Of
the handkerchiefs is tllen put into a
press between two copper plates, one
of WhlcA Is fastened to the top and the
other u the bottom Of the press.
These plates are pierced with holes.
Just like the spots to he made on the
handkerchlefs. A great pressure is
then put on the pile, and a bleaching
liquid, called chlorine, is made to flow
over the top OF the plate. The liquid
goes down with the holes, passes
through the cloth anu comes out Of the
holesin the bottom plate, takingaout
allstlle color, and making white spots
just the size and shape Of the holes in
the plates. The pressure Is so great
that the liquid can reach the cloth only
where the holes are. This is how the
'bandanas are made.

"A Japanese Comic Artist.

Coming to more modern times brief
glance on the wag OF the distant land
Is In pleasant order. About one hun
dred and thirty years ago the most fa-
m Gus artist Japan has ever known was
born. His name was Hokusai, and Of
the weird, peculiar work of the artists
Of that wonderful country he Is said by
his countrynen to have excelled all
others. All other artists confined
themselves almost exclusi vely to Lords
and ladies of the court, rich dresses and
gorgeous silk costumes, with vases and,
palanquins. But HOkusai made new
departure. He gave himself iup to hui
NOR. He opened a studio In Yeddo in.
1910, and 8laborea steadily until 1949.
He has left many books Of sketches,
and the results Of numerous trips are
left in illustrated albums. Hissfayorite
study was the horse. One Of his draws
ings representsa u borss with his hind
legs wildly waving In tho air, while q
young woman stands on the lariat
which had been trailing behind him as
i.e ran. The scene is supposed to be-
laid in Kaidru, q little village on Lake
BlWa. The young woman, named
,Kanekno, is noted for her strength. In
stopping the runaway che simply
stepped on the 1arlat. and the horae's
further flight was at once checked.

made OF pure gold, spun and woven
into gauze so delicate that it was not

The third annual fair will be the largest

list has been increased by adding q
large number Of articles. Better ac-
commodations will be offered and the
amusement part of the programme will
be the finest ever offered in the state.
The purses are ample and will draw to-

equestrienne performance by Madame

The programme will be varied and is
well calculated to draw together large

that the people of these two cities will
largely patronize the Stevens Point fair.

present They were assisted by local
talent in both cities. The program was
well selected and the parts both vocal
and instrumental were well rendered.
Miss Lottie, who lives in the hearts Of
our people, retained her former
reputation as rising priDia donna.
The song "The Moonlight Stroll' by
little Eva Demarais captivatod the
audience. A violin solo, by Mr.. Jentz

program and was greatly encored. The
gem of the evening to our taste was the
vocal duet by Misses Lynn and Reeves.
Both of these ladies have marked
ability in song. The comic duet by
Arthur Demarais and Lottie Lynn
brought down the house. They
represent the Quaker perfectly and
make happy hit together. Russ
Lyon retained his reputation as q
musician in a cornet solo and was called
back in the midst Of hearty and con-
tinued applause Miss Hemcnway and

credit during the evenings program.
