O OF TIE FAIR.

The fourth annual fair Of the Wvo-
ming Fair Association is but a memory
I -day, but a very vivid memory, Joyful
or otherwise as the case may be. 1t goes
into history as the most successful fair
and race meeting ever held by the asso-
citation. The attendance throughout has
been larger and the interest more general
and widespread than ever before.
Yesterdays events in the racing line
would have amply repaid for three days
attendance pom very poor races, although
taken throughout there was no paucity Of
interesting or exciting events.
Outside of the mere enjoyment given
by passing events there were at least two
features of the fair which are worthy oil
thoughtful attention. The first of these
was the exhibit of farm products under
the general management Of Prof. Mead.
The extent of the exhibits would
probably not surprise anybody whose
residence has been in the strictly agricul-
tural regions but it was certainly a reve-
lation to many Wyoming people who
were not at all familiar with the capabili-
ties of the territory in this line. Pro-
ducts were displayed there which had
been raised with irrigation and without
irrigation. Exhibits were made in the
line Of fruits. tomatoes and other vege-
tables which are supposed to not thrive in
this region and many cereals and speci-
mems OF garden truck were shown which
could not be surpassed in any section.
The exhibit is peculiarly interesting in
done in the country and as the people of
the territory have captured all the prem
iums this year it will stimulate other
Wyomingites to Guido in extent and
variety what has been done this year.
As a contrast to this was Prof. Ricketts,
display of minerals. Nearly every resi-
dent OF Wyoming is proud to boast OF the
mineral resources OF the territory. but
very few of them were actually prepared
to see before their eyes samples of the
great variety of minerals which will con-
tribute TO our wealth in the future. The
building stone in great variety, the gran
lite, marble and slate, the iron, gold, cop
per, tin and mica, the coal, mineral paint,
salt, soda, glass sand, the oil from wells in
widely separated sections, in its manufac
tured and crude state, conspired to bring
home to every spectator a keener sense of
the vast variety OF mineral wealth upon
which we place our future reliance and
i~ncreasd a hundred fold his pride in the
great commonwealth 10 which he is a
resident.
Taken simply as a giddy whirl of en-
ioyment or an object lesson OF the terri
tory's capabilities or possessions and the
fourth annual fair was a success of which
Its projectors have every reason to feel
proud.

A recent Italian scientific re-
ports that Americans have recently
found it to be practicable to apply the
phonograph to locomotive whistles.
Whether this statement has any
foundation or not makes no differ

What a convenience it would be to
have the whistle shout, in a stentorian
voice, "Hoosac Junction. Ten min

save the brakeman his indistinct enun-

Hitherto it has been proposed to en-
ploy it only as a substitute for the To-

healthy, and could not afford it proper nour-

die. Such thoughts burned in the mind of
Karl Douglass as he walked the streets of
the great city in fruitless efforts to find
work. OH if he could find work Of any
kind! But try as he might, all avenues OF
employment were closed before him.

Aye, driven to desperation. That night he
did not return as usual to the humble lodg-

awaited the arrival of her husband.
'Wil he pever comet" she thought.
&sWhat can have happenedp' And she
cried agai1 and again, until even her tears,
like all other friends, had deserted her.
It was late at night when Karl Douglass
entered the dismal room. His eyes shone

Judge was true to his promise to Ethel and
gave him the lightest sentence in his power.
Further than that, he secured her position
as governess in one of the best families of
Chicago at good wages.
The little brown-eyed babe, though, was
too far gone to recover. Poor Ethel saw her
child's body borne to the cemetery, where it
was inferred in the family lot of DR.. Griggs,
the gentleman iI whose family she was en-
ployed.
Time wore on slowly, to say the least.
Many were the letters she received from
her husband, yet her heart pined for him,
and letters We're but poor consolation.
Eight months had passed. Ethel was
walking up and down the shady avenue in
front of Dr. Griggs' great house, with her
young pupils around her. As she passed
clump of evergreens she found herself face
to face with familiar form, and in another
moment she was in the arms of her
husband, Karl Douglass. The Governor Of
the State had heard Of Karrs case and
hesitated not to grant him immediate
pardon. Upon arriving at Chicago, he had
not called directly to see his wife, but made
an effort to secure employment. He was
successful A good clerkship was offered

happiness within his reach.
They soon had little home Of their own

remained for a year, when they removed to
the far West.
| In California, Karl Douglass was singu-
larly successful. From the position of a
poor school teacher he arose to that of a
wealthy merchant with happy home, and
| nothing to remind him Of his desperate
deed OF burglary. except his pardon, which
he shall always keep.
Colonel Kane is dead. He left his wealth
to distant relative, but Karl and Ethel do
not Eow need it. When they visited Alton
last summer, from their beautiful Califor-
MIA home, they planted with their own
hands, bush of rarest roses on the old
Coloners grave to show how they remem-
bered him kindly even after his harsh treat

Before Ethel could realize what had hap
nened. she was left alone. Karl Douglass
was gone. She heard the confused sound
of his voice in the outer hall and the sound
of alteration, but she OWNED not the cause
Then all become still She had swooned.
After an hour she regained conscious
ness.
Save her babe she was alone, and as she
p,zed upon the pinched features Of the
sleeping child, and saw death plainly
stamped upon its wan face, she felt more
miserable than if she had been alone.
She examined the packeA It was rou

Then flashed across her mind the reason

"All for mel" she sadly exclaimed II

his sake-not mine-I wish thatI had never

She was aroused from her reverie by the
entrance of Biddy Malone, an old Irish.

Ethel heard no more. Snatching her
child from the pallet upon which 1t lay, she
fastened to the police station.
Her husband was on trial. She heard his
noble voice, shaken by grief, as he &C
knowledged his guilt.
Eyes, did it."
With cry of despair, Ethel ran up to the
judge.
''Oh! judge, let him go. He did it for me;
here is the money-talse it. Let me starve
with Karl! Don't send him of to prisonp'
The judge had witnessed many pitiful
scenes and had steeled his heart agains,
such appeals, but a glance at that wan face
told him that she was not one of the COM
mon herd. The gentler nature arose within
him. He ordered her removed to place of
comfort, assuring her that he would deal as
leniently with her husband as the law would
allow.
Karl Douglass was sentenced to Joliet for
one year. His crime was one that would
have called for three years Imprisonment
