Our Owyhee Girl at the Big Fair.


DEAR NUGGET :-I estprday we visited
the Transportation Bnilding. In it We
saw all kinds of locomotive engines
Among them the pioneer engine which
made the first run out of Chicago in
l848. We saw all the different kinds OF
cars for passengers, freight and stock,
used on both continents; carriages and
vehicles of all ages, from those of Her
Highuess and the Lord Mayor of Lon
don, and the millionsires of America,
to carts drawn by oxen and wagons
used TO draw cord wood and quartz. We
saw duplicate Of the Gar of Russa's
sleigh, which looks very comfortable,
with it's beautiful plush upholsterins
and white fir robes. We saw models of
all kinds of ships and vessels and boats
In the mining department we saw
many beautiful specimens of minerals.
In the Idaho department DeLamar is
very well represented. There are beau
tiful specimens of quartz, quite familiar
to me, piles of silver nugeets-some OF
great siZs-sawed in two and polished
on one face, and an eleven hundred dol
lar bar of bullion which attracts good
" share of atte ntion, and made US proud
of our own camp. We also saw many
other familiar specimens from Idaho.
Montans's silver statue is a veryf hand
some thing. California seems to have
the finest display of coarse gold, mug
gets and wire gold. Michigan and Ari-
zona each have magnificent specimens
of copper ores. think copper ores are
far prettier than those containing gold
and silver.
In the Utah department is the life
sized figure of COW carved out of a SOL
id block of salt Pennsylvania has
large monument cut from coal, and the
model of coal mine, with tunnels,
shafts and machinery showing how coal
is mined.
On Tuesday we visited the Horticul-
tural Building. There we saw trees and
plants from all parts of the world, ar
ranged in baskets, and beds of flowers.
To my thinking this was the most in
teresting sight of them all. 1t takes
one whole day to go through this de-
partment. When we came to Idaho's
display can assure you ] felt proud OF
our yonng state. What amused me was
that many would see this display and
look perfectly astonished that fruit
said "Why, is this from California ?"
to which an Idaho gentleman replied,
mo, maam, and had Idaho's fruit
growing qualities been discovered first
California would never have been in it
as fruit country" Pointing TO some
grapes, he continued, there, madam,
are grapes, grown in the open ai' in
Idaho, while the same species have to
he raised under glass in California.
W. asked guide who told us where
the Idaho Building was and then added,
'there ;s not much to see there." We |
did not believe him, and walked
whole mile to see. The building is very |
quaint and pretty, hut go many descrip-
tions of it have been given that l will
not attempt one. We spent hours there
AMI enjoyed every minute. We regis /
tered our names in the Idaho register. |
We found the NUGeET and Avalanche
on file there and you may be snrs we
took time to devour the contentsof both
our home papers.
l have seen so many wonderful things
that an attempt to describe any of them
is bewildering. MAGGIE.

A FARMERS LOVE.

sented by two farms that faced each
other and were separated by a public
road.
The fancy farm showed the effects of
much money and a cultivated taste. The
house occupied by the owner, who spent
only part Of the summer at his country
home, was mansion. There were tow
ers and curious windows, some Of them
of stained glass, and many architectural
oddities such as are often seen in the
summer residences Of the rich.
At suitable distance was the home of
the manager of the farm. 1t was small
er and less pretentious than the first
dwelling, but was palatial in appear
ance compared with an ordinary farm
house.
Near it were the barns costly and Or
namental structures, painted a bright
red The land was divided by hand
some and expensive walls and by artistic
fences. A herd of so pure blooded Jer-
sey cattle and other fancy stock were
kept.
The house on the common farm close
ly resembled the typical 'old home
stead The long, rambling roof and
the shingled sides were brown and
weather beaten. The windows were
small, and the panes Of glass were many
and li&le Ancient pictorial curtains
designated which room was the parlor.
A long bench beside the back door was
covered with shining plilkpans. From
the deep we'll water WAS still drawn by
means of an old fashioned we'll sweep.
Rows Of box inclosed a small garden
in which tulips, pinks, forgetmenots
streaked grass. ETC., grew in picturesque
confusion.
Behind the house was a fine old or
chard. which bore al abundance of APP
pies. much Of the fruit being better than
can generally be obtained from trees III
modern nurseries.
There were two large barns, implanted
and uncouth in appearance. but kept in
good repair.
The fields, comprising 200 acres-that
being also the size Of the fancy farm
were separated from each other by rude
ly piled but substantial stone walls.
The domestic animals on this farm
were mostly of the ordinary breeds.
Modern labor saving machinery that re-
ally did save labor and promoted ecOnos
my was used. but no money was wasted.
1t was beautiful morning in May.
The landscape, clad in luxuriant YER
dure, was like a pleased child in new
and becoming dress.
The owner Of the common farm stood
in front of his home and looked with in
terest at a beautiful girl who was walk
ing from the fine residence opposite
along a gravelly path that led to the
highway.
That the farmer should prefer to de-
vote his attention exclusively to the
maiden rather than to view the land
scape generally WAS not surprising, for
he was young and intelligent and withal
romantic.
To the farmers surprise the girl, when
she reached the road, did not go down it
toward the little village to get the mail.
She crossed the highway, and after Gus
tomary greetings said:
Il have heard so much about the beau
tiful appearance Of your orchard, now
that the trees are covered with blossoms,
that would dearly like to see it if you
have no objection"
"No objection at all. l shall be glad to

come from it.
He did not expect to make money from
the farm, but he did think that there
ought to be enough income from the sale
of its products to cover the running ex-
penses.
During the previous year Chadwick
had told one of the neighbors that Mr..
Volombard was impractical, that he
bought expensive machines that were
not needed at all, and that it was laugh
able to see how little he knew about farm
ing.
The remarks were repeated to the mil
ionaire, who regarded them as an insult.
The knowledge that Chadwick could
clear 81 800 year above expenses from
the unpretentious common farm also
nettled Mr.. Volombard.
At the time Chadwick made his unfOr-
tunate criticism he had not become &C
quainted with Miss Yoland. She had
never seen the farm until two weeks be-
fore she visited the orchard. J
The longer Mr.. Chadwick thought the
more he became confident that the prin-
cipal blame should be attached to Mr..
VOlombard.
Nevertheless the young man conclud-
ed that the indignity which he had sus-
tanned required that he should assume
greater Indifference than Miss Yoland
had yet manifested.
He resolved that when he next met
her he would pretend not to see her at all.
The next meeting took place about
week later. 1t was in the highway be-
tween the farms.
AS Miss Yoland approached, MIR. Chad
wick noticed that she looked pale and
anxious, but as they were about to pass
each other he turned his eyes from her.
"Mr. Chadwick"
The tones were low and tremulous,
but they reached his ears. He stopped
and looked at the fair speaker with an
air of dignity.
II know" she continued, ''that you
are deeply offended, but perhaps if tell
you I am sorry and make an explana-
ton you will forgive me-"
She looked so charmingly contrite that
Mr.. Chadwick forgave her at once. He
assured her that he would be glad to
have the painful misunderstanding come
to an end.
She then told him that on arriving
home after she had left the orchard she
gave her father description of her visit
and highly praised Mr.. Chadwick's in
telligence and agreeable manners.
To her amazement her father flew into
a rage and denounced the young farmer
as a low bred and presumptuous fellow
and commanded her never to converse
with him again.
At first she thought she ought to obey
her father and treated Mr.. Chadwick ac-
cordingly, although such a course was
repugnant to her feelings.
Later she learned why her father so
much disliked Mr.. Chadwick, the reason
being what the young man hac suspect
ed. and she was ashamed of her father
because he was not magnanimous.
She was sorry she had been so unkind
and resolved to apologize at the first OPP
portunity.
Your explanation affords me infinite
satisfaction" said Mr.. Chadwick, for
for the bee ings of his heart almos
chOked his utterance) must tell you that
my feelings toward you are warmer THAI
those Of a fri end. If l might dare hope
but no; it cannot be-
you brighten me" cried the maiden,
in turn becoming confused.

He had studied and read much during
the long winter evenings. Nature had
given him fine and discriminating
mind and a disposition that was proud
and sensitive.
Although surrounded for the most
part by uncultivated persons, he had
trained himself to speak grammatically
and had had the ambition to fit himself
for association with educated people.
He had been adopted when very young
by the Mr.. Chadwick who formerly
owned the farm. The elder Chadwick
had been dead two years. The farm had
been willed to the young man with the
proviso that the old mans widow should
have life interest In it and be we'll cared
for by her foster son.
The foster parents were industrious
and possessed plenty of common sense,
but were illiterate That there was gen
tie blood in the young mans veins was
proved by the manner in which he had
triumphed over so many obstacles.
He only needed contact with the world
and social advantages to become I'm
ished gentleman.
When he first saw Miss Yoland, he
knew that he loved her. Her refined
beauty and gracious manners charmed
him.
In her presence that which was best
in him was quickened, and his bearing
and address became noble He could
understand and appreciate her, he could
adore her, but his heart sank as he real
lied that circumstances were against
him.
Was it not preposterOus for poor,
plain farmer to hope to wed this beauti-
full heiress?
Faithfully had he tried to repress his
growing love and to regard Miss Yoland
only as friend. But while he was en-
gagged in his sensible mental struggle
she herself did that which defeated all
of the progress that he had made.
Her visit to the orchard was fatal to
his peace of mind. The manner in
which she disparaged the artiicialities
of fashionable society and expressed her
preference for simple life of the country
aroused more strongly than ever the de-
licious hopes that he had tried to put
aside.
His mood the next morning was cheer
full. He busted himself in his dooryard
in order that he might see Miss YolaAd
when it was time for her to go for the
mail
Dressed in costly but simple morn
ing costume, she came forth from her
home But when she reached the road
she did not look across it. She acted as
if she had not seen him, although she
must have known that he was in sight.
A lover who is uncertain as to how
much he is favored by his mistress is the
most suspicious person in the world.
Anything that can be construed as
slight is keenly noticed and produces a
most disagreeable mental fever.
Chadwick felt angry and disheartened
and was rendered unfit to do a good
days work. .: .. - i.
The next day while he was coming
home from the village he met her face
to face. She was seated in a fine car
riage drawn by two horses that were
guided by cOachman who sat in an ele-
waited box in front.
She greeted Mr.. Chadwick only with
slight and cool nod. There could no
longer be any doubt as to her intentions.
She desired to discourage his acquaint-
ance.
The young man cursed his folly and
wished that he had never seen her.
