Tho Eair.

Col. ]. S. Armstrong, who last year
served the Texas state fair and Dallas eX-
position in the capacity of president, was
seen to-day and thus expressed himself on
the prospects of the fair and exposition to
be held this year:
l believe that we will have the best fair
this fall ever given in Texas. The country
is in much better condition, both financially
and as to crops. Exhibitors will have both
the means and the products to make a
grand exhibit, and this condition of affairs
will insure success for the enterprise, as
both counties and individuals are always Oh
hand with fine exhibits when there is boun-
tiful harvest and flush times.
Col. B. Blankenship, president of the
North Texas national bank, thus expresses
himself on the prospects of the coming
fair:
Although have no connection with the
fair in any capacity this year, yet my OBJ
servation has led me to believe that people
from outside Of the state and from the
towns outside of Dallas in the state are
taking greater interest in it than ever be-
fore. There is no doubt in my mind but
that it will be great success, as every
thing indicates as much.'

There are male gosSips as well as female
gOSsips in this world, and of the two the
former is by far the worst remarked L.
d. KingsIand, president of the Kingsland &
Douglas manufacturing company, St. Louis.
The female gossip only talks about trivial
family or social matters, as rule, but the
male gossip too often aims at mans bust
ness integrity or commercial standing. The
male gossip comes into your Office, and talks
few moments on general topics. and then
in a stage whisper asks, Did you hear about
Johnson' You say you didn't and naturally
ask what it is. Then he sinks his voice still
lower and says something like this: 4

you knew. johnson is in bad boat. Been

Whip & Socket are now carrying a mort
gage on his stock. Don't say anything
about it, for he may yet pull through all
right, although the chances are against
him. The same male gossip will get some
thing like this off some other time: Too
bad about Gobson. He's blamed good fel-
low, but he can't stand that kind of racket
very long. believe in glass of

the Prophet Mohammed is reported to
have said that among men there had been
many perfect, but not more than four OF
the other sex have attained perfection-to
wit, Asiah, Mary, khadiiah and Fatima. y
Asiah was the wife of the Pharaoh of the
Exodus. She forsook the faith of her
fathers, on account of which her husband
subjected her to many cruelties. The
Virgin Mary was the second perfect
woman, Mohammed stating that "she had
been exalted above all the women of the

1t never ceases to be surprising how
many people will run after quack doctors
and dose themselves with quack medi-
cines. 1t does really seem as though
many like to be humbugged. 1t is SIM
ply amazing how credulous people are in
some directions and how incredulous in
other ways! Why should any one trust
his health and perhaps life to one he
knows nothing of, when it stands to rea-
son that his faithful family physician
could, in the nature of the case, do for him
more and better than any stranger? Why
should man take some notorious patent
medicine without knowing what it is or
what it's really good for and without any
certainty as to what ails him or of what
he needs for his complaints If one is
sick, the first thing is to learn what the
matter is. When man knows what his
trouble is, he is ready to seek remedy.
But why should one spend his money to
doctor himself hit or miss? Health and
disease are both subject to law and, if
anybody knows how to deal with the
sick, it must be the educated and expert
enced physician. Better consult such a
one at first, if you are ailing .-[Rev Mr.
Wright.
