Fair Notes,

Secretary Glandon is confident
that cheap transportation will large
ly increase the attendance at the
races.
There are now 316 first-class
horse stalls on the Fair Gounds.
OF these $50 are already engaged
and the entire number will be taken
fully a week before the opening
day. Forty stalls under one roof
are now being built.
The management of the Fair is
very much encouraged over the
prospects for successful meeting.
The attendance will be larger than
ever before.

One is sometimes asked by peo-
pie to recommend a course of read
ing. My advice would be that they
should contine themselves to the
supreme books, or still betetr to
choose one great author, and make
themselves thoroughly familiar
with him. For, as all roads lead to
Rome, so do they likewise lead
away from 1t, and you will find
that, in order to understand perfect
ly and weigh exactly any piece
of literature, you will be gradually
and pleasantly persuaded to excurs-

little dreamed when you began,
and will find yourself scholar

Country Where Every Form of Worship
Is Frowned Upon.

Is Frowned Upon.
In the list of the virtues of its people and
the attractions of the country Corea makes
poor showing and shines negatively. With
no past, no future, no riches, no power, no
warlike spirit, no religion, no art, no prog
ress, no commerce, no living literature, no
theaters, and few amusements or social Gus
toms, one may wonder how it remains
kingdom and people and why it exists.
Corea's condition would seem to prove all
that preachers and philosophers say about a
people without a religion. In this capital Of
100000 people, and in the great plane Of city
roofs, there is not tower or pagoda to
tell of the worship of any deity. A scrap
of paper and a bit of rag fastened to a
straw rope over the house-doors propitiates
the demons and keeps them out, and the
Corean devils are so stupid and easily
deceived that, getting hold of the rag,
they think they have the whole game and
the man in 1t, and are satisfied. This is the
only sign of any form of worship or belief to
be found in the city, and there are edicts
prohibiting priests from entering the city
gates. Every form of religion is frowned
upon by the Government, and in the treaties
with other nations proselyting and mission
ary work are distinctly prohibited. Centur-
les ago the JesuitS entered the Kingdom
from the Chinese frontier and made many
converts among the people, but in all the
annals of martyrdom nothing exceeds the
stories of the tortures and punlshments in
fiictcd upon those sanity men. 1t was be-
heved that they had given aid and instruc-
tons to the enemies of Corea, and the
Jesuits were hunted and put to death, and
edicts put forth promising torture to.those
who harbored or encouraged the Jesuits
in their work. This attitude of the
Government neither discouraged nor
stopped the missionary fathers, and Jesuit
priests have gone about the country in the
disguise of nourners, the huge three
bushel hat, the hand-screen and baggy
hemp clothes effectually concealing their
identity. Within q few weeks French
Bishop has come to light after living in
disguise for fourteen years. While the
French commissioners were here complet-
ing the treaty between their country and
Corea, q swarthy, black-bearded Corean, in
pea green gown and black halo hat, ap-
peared one day and astonished them by
talking French. The Bishop is now often
met in the foreign community, and mon
seigneur is given precedence over all officials
and the place of honor at all dinner-tables.
He wears Corean dress at all times, and
the large signet ring on his right hand is
the only indication OF his not being ma
tive and q layman.-St Losis Gsooe-Dsmo-

A Mad Dog Scare.

The report that a mad dog was
roaming about town biting every
canine that crossed his path created
much excitement to-day. Officer
Lane mounted horse and institu-
ted search for the animal. After
several hours he was successful
finding and killing the animal on a
back street in North Mexico. The
dog showed unmistakeable symp.
toms of rabies and had bitten full y
fifteen dogs before having been
shot. The animal had a heavy
chain about its neck. The dog was
black and weighed sixty pounds

AT DAWN OF DAY.

The waves beat with q gladder thrill,

And fast and far chime on the bar

A world OF distance dim;
But speeding with the speeding light
My heart goes forth to him.
Faster than wind or wave IL flies,
As love and longing may,
And undenie stands by his side

God bless him if he wake 10 smiles,
Or II he wake 10 sighs;
Temper his Will for every fate,
And keep him true and wise;
Be to him all fain would be
Who am so far away,
Light, counsel, consolation, cheer
God bless my Dear to-day!
The gradual light has grown full dim
And streameth far abroad;
The urgence of my voiceiess plea
Is gathered up by God;
Take some sweet thing which else wer

Truly dare to pray,
And with it bEirn his cup of joy
God bless my Dear to-day!

The New York Tribune, founded
by Horace Greeley" declares that
the flannel shirt so much worn by
those who cannot afford silk ones
is a mockery, delusion and a
snare. 1t gives to the wearer the
outward appearance Of a tough and
disreputable person. Itimparts to
his feelings a perpetual heat and
irritation. 1t scratches his neck.
1t clings woolily about his wrists.
It eliminates responsibility. It
causes the victim of the flannel
shirt to feel that he is only fit for a
'longshoreman's work; that he
ought to have a short pipe in his
mouth or his hatband. Doubtless
a man may fight well enough in a
flannel shirt, or he may fish, or
loaf in the grass; but he cannot in
vite his soul when SO clad with any
hope of adequate response. No,
the ideal summer dress does not in
clude, nor is it based upon, the
flannel shirt. That ideal calls for
GOODNESS, softness of texture and
absorbant capacity. There is no.
thing which surpasses the cool
freshness of clean linen, and but
for the baleful starch which tes-
titles to the triumph of stupid con-
vent1onalism over common sense,
it is plain that the linen garment
offers the most hopeful foundation
for that summer costume of the fu-
ture which the coming race will
wear.
Pollard, the jeweler, placed two
diamonds in his show window to-
day under card bearing the ques-
ton: Which is genuine?" A
crowd soon gathered, and much
speculation followed. One man
wanted to bet that the stone on the
right was the diamond, but he was
quickly sat upon by half dozen
men who offered to bet him ten
dollars that the right hand stone
was paste. The argument grew warm
and to settle the dispute the crowd
surged into the store and sought
the proprietor. When Mr.. Pollard
calmly told them that both the
stones were diamonds, the men re-
| paired to the nearest saloon and
have been treating each other ever
since.
Now that the rails to be used by
the Investment Company in its
street railway line have arrived, it
is probable that a score or two of
croakers who have been predicting
the downfall of the enterprise since
It's birth will retire until something
else in the improvement line is
suggested. In the words of Walt
Mason, the sage of Atchison-
"Bury the Croaker out in the woods
| In u beautiful hole in the ground,
Where the ood-pecker pecks and the bumbIe-
| bee buns
| And the straddie bug straddles around.
| he is no good In this city OF push:
| Too impractical. stingy and dead,
But he wants the whole earth and all Of its
crust
And the stars that shine overhead.
Then hustle him of to the buublebee's roost,
And bury him deep In the ground;
He's no use to Us here, get him out Of the way
And make room for the man who is sound"
