For Her Sake.

The Roumapian has, in every walk
In life, a fierce and savage pride which
causes him to abhor the idea of medi-
elne and surgery, and to consider the
loss of a limb as terrible as that Of
fife itself. He has become accus-
toned to the idea that only beggars
are so disflgured, and believes that
no necessity should constrain him to
Euch loss.
During the Russo-Turkish cam
paign OF 1877 many Roumanian SOL
diers were wounded, and Queen
Elizabeth-Carmen Silva-who con-
stantly visited the hospitals, found
that some of the patients died be.

disagreement. 1t occurred to her
that If one yielded Others would fol-
low, and one day, when the surgeon
was turning sorrowfully away from
an obstinate patient who could be
saved only by an operation, she APP
preached and added her own entrea-
ties.
Still the soldier reiterated that, if
his leg were amputated, he should
only be taken for mendicant, like
the wretched outcasts of the Car
pathians.
Il am not beggar, said he, proud
ly. 81 will lose my life, but not my
honor"
at is true" said the Queen, "you
are not beggar, but / am" And she
threw herself on her knees at the
bedside. Il have never prayed but
to God, but now I supplicate you to
listen to His wish and mine. Let
your leg be taken off, and spare your
life to your family your country and
me, and"
"And If ! consent, my lady, what
then?'
why, them" she said, joyfully,
rising and seizing his hand again,
why, | will give you the most beau
tiful cork leg IN Europe; it shall work
with springs, and when the war is
over you shall come and dance at the
palace with your sons"
II consent" he said, softly, "but
you must hold my hand during the
operation.
After that there was no more Cd.
position to the surgeons wishes, since
they were also those Of the beloved
lady of the land.

George Elicit, commercial traveller,
while sitting in a ho.el corridor at Kan
sas City, short time ago, suddenly
fell forward on the floor. Friends
tfcked him up and found that he was
deaf, dumb and blind, all within min
ute. He was taken TO his home. where
he displayed consciousness by pres
fure OF the right hand. Surgeons. by
cerebral localization, found that clot
had formed in the brain. The man was
prepared for an operation, and a
lrephine was inserted just over the
roint where it was thought the clot
must be. When the button Of the skull

It is common practice among farm
ers to carry back from the cheese fac
tory whey ii the cans that they had
carried the milk in, and unless the farm
er uses every effort to thoroughly clean
his cans, the effect upon the milk will
be quickly noticed in The cheese product.
Night and mornings milk should not
be mixed in the same can, unless the
mornings milk is thoroughly cooled by
aeration before mixing with the nights
milk. Consequently it would be neces.
sary for those who do the milking to
get up an hour earlier in the morning,
which every farmer knows is no easy
matter.-American Dairyman.

YovE AND THOUGHT

What hath Love with Thought to do!
Still at variance are the two.
Love is sudden, Love is rash,
Love is like the levin fiass,
Comes as swift, as swiftly goes,
And his mark as surely'knows.
Thought is lumpish, Thought is slow
Weighing long tween yes and no;
When dear Love is dead and gone.
Thought comes creeping in anon,
And, in his deserted nest,
Sits to hold the GROWERS quest.
Since we love, what need to thlnkf
Happiness stands on brink
Whence too easy It's to fall
Whither's no return at all,
Have a care, half-hearte1 lover.
Thought would only push her over.

Next week beginning on Tues lay
and continuing four days our county
will hold their fourteenth annual
fair. Everything is being put in
shape for not only the greatest fair
we have ever held, but one that will
leave a good impression on the many
visitors expected at Phillipsbnrg on
Harvest excursions the same week,
and one that Phillips county people
may well feel proud of. The Worlds
Columbian exposition is giving a
great impetus to fairs throughout the
state, and 1t is from the fairs that ex-
hibIts will be gathered to advertise
our county and state to the world.
No other opportunity has been of
fered like this IN the past and proba-
bly, will not be for many years again.
We know Phillips county will not be
behind older counties in the state in
making the best use of their oppor-
tunIties. Let your exhibits be nu-
merous and prepared with care. The
first premium on grain and vegeta-
bles this year will pay you well for
your trouble.
In the way of entertainments the
society has eclipsed any past efforts.
The balloon ascension and parachute
drop will be a new and interesting
sight to nine out Of ten residents of
the county. If the attendance will
justify it, there will be an ascension
three days of the fair; if not you can
depend on it the second and fourth
days, if the weather permits. There
will be swings, shooting galleries,
doll racks, etc., in large numbers,
and all the usual following of state
and much older county fairs. All we
need this year is good weather. The
best attractions will be in the speed
ring. "Invincible," holding the four
year old stallion record in the state,
is entered in the stake race. subj
lee," a 1,400 pound stallion, record
2:27, is also entered in the same race.
Lucy Smith," record 2:23, pacing,
"Smartweed," record 1926, and Col
den Girl" 2:26, are entered in the
free-for-all pace. There will be six
or eight entries in the ESQ and 2:40
trotting classes. A number of these
horses including "Invincible and ''Ju-
bilee," came in Tuesday. The run
nlng races advertised IN premium
list will be we'll filed, and one spe-
cial has been added. In addition to
all that has already been provided
for the society offers S. IN gold with
monogram if desired) for the pretti-
est baby born IN Phillips county and
under one year old. This contest
will take place in the amphitheatel
in the afternoon of the last day Of
the fair. No entries need be made
for this purse. Just have your baby
there at the right time.
Now let everybody turn out, no
only for one day, but for three days
and you will see fair every day. A
large dining hall will be on tn,
ground under the management of thu
M, E. church, where frst-class meal
will be served at a low price.
