The success Of our Fair this year
gives promise of better Fairs in years
yet to come. 1t was predicted by
many that the Fair this year would
be a failure aud the bad weather dur
ing Fair week came on to help the
prophets out in their predictions, but
Providence willed that we should
have q good Fair and we had it. The
two days off caused by the rain dam
aged the Fair to the extent of several
hundred dollars as thousands of peo-
pie who would have attended re-
manned at home the balance of the
week and not knowing that the Fair
was continued on two days of this
week they did not get to see the Fair
at all.
Taking into consideration the hard
times aud the %unfavorable weather
the Fair was q success beyond expec-
tation, and this success we attribute
to the farmers who take a pride in
showing the product of their farms
to the public. By their liberal pa
tronage Of the Fair they show that
they are not willing to allow the ell
terprise to 60 down. They want some
place to go to to spend a week with
their neighbors where they can CON-
pare the fruits of their labor and
learn thereby whether or not they
r farming right. The farmer who
attends the agricultural Fair is a bet
ter farmer than his neighbor who
does not attend the Fair. This is a
fact the proof of which we see right
here at home by comparing the farms
and farmers of Cape Girardeau cour-
ty with the farms and farmers of adj
joining counties. We have had an
annual Fair in this county for more
than twenty years and our farmers
as . result are twenty years in
advance of the farmers of neigh
boring counties. There is no place
where a farmer can learn better than
at the agricultural Fair and the pro-
gressive farmer will always be found
at the Fairs competing with his
neighbors for the best show of the
farm product
The Southeastern District Agricul-
tural Society was organized for the
whole Of Southeast Missouri and
throughout this. section of the State
it has done much good in the way of
causing the farmers to raise better
stock and improve their farms and it
will continue to do good in that di-
rection.
The improvement OF the farming
industry means the general prosperity
of the section of country where such
advancement is made, and the mer-
chant and business man is therefore
as much interested in the enterprise
that tends to make the farmer pros
porous as the farmer is himself.

A Rumor About Gloves.

There is ru1nor moving mysteri
about that gloves may shortly go to some
extent out of fashion. One or two well
known DANES have practically ceased to
wear them. One of these is Lady ITCH
borne, who may often be seen out of
doors with hands bare to wind and
weather. Another is Lady Grey Edger-
ton, who always goes to the play without
them. The beautiful Lady de Grey, too,
generally takes her gloves off whenever
she has chance. have seen her come
into concert room in the afternoon,
holding her gloves In her hand like a
man. But as yet few ladies have the
courage to be seen about the streets alto
gether gloveless.
Many would hardly welcome such a
fashion. In the first place, gloves give
a finish to the toilet; in the second, it is
hardly possible to keep ones hands per-
fectly clean for any length of time with
out them. This last fact will surely
keep the fashion out. Then hands get
brown in the summer sun, and though
brown hands may be all very well in the
country they hardly do for evening
wear in town. A white arm, with a
brown hand at the end of it, is scarcely
prettier than pale face decorated with
q red nose.-Health and Home.

age him. This work, which also bears
strong evidence of the sculptor's unques-
toned skill, is now on view at the Hop
kins Institute of Art. 1t is an odd and
pretty conceit, an original idea in mar
BILE and bronze.
The sculpture is called "The Little
Acrobat" and consists of the muscular
arm of man, on the outspread hand
of which sits baby. The arm, with the
sleeve rolled back to the shoulder, is a
fine study in anatomy, showing muscle,
bones, veins, in splendid style. The timid
baby will, however, attract most atten-
ton. The half fearful expression of the
little acrobat, the one foot steadied
against the brawny arm, the other drawn
up, the half outstretched hands, all por-
tray the evident insecurity to the baby's
mind Of the seat it occupies The model
ing of the figure is very pleasing, and the
whole conception is fascinaN Nng.-San

A European walking Match.

The recent walking match from Paris
to Reims was sufficiently original to
have notice drawn to it. Each Of the
walkers, Cochard and Berteaux, carried
upon his shoulders sack so we'll filed
that it weighed 100 kilograms, more than
200 English pounds. The distance be-
tween Paris and Reims is 172 kilometers
about 1913 miles.
The two men got over the ground in
eight days, and one was only little be-
hind the other when the march was con-
cluded. They are both workmen at
Rheims, but the elder, who was beaten
apparently because in the early part Of
the contest he did not take advantage of
his. ability TO- do with less, sleep than the
other, is weaver fandl therefore it could
not have been, his occupation that de-
ye1oped his muscles Strange to say, that
it was not the fatigue of the shoulders
that tired them most, but the swelling
and soreness of the feet. a,4
1t will be allowed that to walk Is miles
a day for eight consecutive days with a
weight of 200 pounds upon the shoulders
is rather severe trial of human strength
and endurance. ce.-Toronto Empire.

An Obtuse Englishman.

A Mr.. Kirbell, who had never been
out of England until he went to Vienna,
seems to have been typical Briton and
stubbornly insular to the extent Of re-
fusing to alter the time Of his watch as
he travelled eastward from England. No
argument would induce him to bulge,
and when at Vienna he arose at un-
earthly hours and perambulated around
the city alone, having persisted in being
guided by his watch, stoutly asserting
that the foreign clocks were all wrong.
Kirbell was very anxious also to keep
a record of all the places he visited and
always jotted down in his pocketbook
the names of the various stations he had
stopped at or passed. "How curious it
is there are somany stations Of the same
name," he once remarked to q fellow
passenger, who replied that he had not
observed it. Kirbell then showed his
record to prove he was right, and. sure
enough, over and over again occurred
the word "Ausgang' EXIT, which he
had confidently entered as the name of
many stations passed on the route.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

Baptized After Death.

A queer story comes from Eagle Cleft,

be baptized, and as this could not be
done during his illness he requested
that as soon as he died his body be i'm

his lifetime and wanted his dead body
baptized. A few days ago he died, and

Indiunant Clerks.

The wild outburst of indignation at
the inquest into the deaths of the vic
tins who perished in Ford's theater at
Washington was only anatural result of
the tragedy and what led up to it. The
survivors had for years been kept quiet
by official discipline. Secretary La
mont's letter read at the inquiry cut
away the last pent up fury OF those
whose bread and butter had depended
upon the daily risk of life, for it clearly
stated that none should suffer on ac-
count of any evidence given. A crowd
of department clerks clamoring for the
lynching Of their head at an official in
quiry was new experience of Washing
ton and one which is hardly likely to oc-
cur again if the Ford's theater disaster
has any result at all.-New York -.

A Remarkable Dog.

A remarkable dog is the property of
Professor Kyle of Flushing, N. Y. The
other day Professor Kyle sent one of his
pupils to the Flushing bank with de-
posit of $50 in $40 bills. When the boy
reached the bank, he held only the emp
ty handbook. He had lost the money on
the way. He went back to the institute,
a distance of half mile, and repoated
the loss to Professor Kyle. The dog was
present and seemed to understand what
was the matter, for his friends say he
sprang out of doors with joyous bark
and galloped through the various streets
back and forth and was soon lost to view.
In Is minutes he returned with the six
$40 bills in his mouth, and though one of
them was mutilated somewhat by the
dog in his excitement it was subsequent
ly patched up and deposited in the bank
to the professors credit with the other
five.-Harper's Young People.

Fifty annual suns had bleached her
raven tresses, placed crows feet on her
chamcisiike skin and otherwise blem-
ished her youthful loveliness, but the
yixor of romance still lurked in her
bosom. She inserted an "ad" in one Of
the Toledo dailies for a correspondent
inatrimonially inclined. The "ad" was
answered by a gallant also sliding down
the slope of his fiftieth anniversary. Pho
tographs taken in their PALMER days
were exchanged, and last week the fair
one came from her wind swept retreat
in Iowa to meet her ideal, to join heart
and hand with him and float happily on
wings of love together to the end OF their
natural lives. Both had SO changed in
the many years since the pictures were
taken that they failed to recognize each
other in the train. Introductiops fol-
lowed.
They viewed each other for moment,
when she broke out with: "You base de-
ceiver! You horrid old brute! You have
deceived me, and I shall never marry
you. You are twice as old as you repre-
sented and as homely as cartoon" The
radiance vanished from the eager lovers
face. Staggered, confused and razzle
dazzled, he bolted for the hotel door,
letting fly volume of cuss words, in
terjecting such expressions as Vixen, .
"Jade," 'She wolf" and "Old hen. "
The door closed behind him with slam,
and the afternoon matinee was over.
The lady has returned to her home in
Iowa, and the correspondent has laid
aside his pen forever. Bee.

Taken on New Ways.

The cigarette manufacturers have hit
upon anew advertising dodge. Thus far
it fourishes only in New York, but there
is some danger of it spreading. They
hire pretty girls to parade the parks and
the principal avenues and display ciga-
rette signs. 1t has reached such proper
tions that the police have been called
upon to drive them out Of Central park,
and no more young women representing
any brand of cigarettes will be allowed
to promenade, ride or sit there. 1t seems
to be pretty good scheme to suppress
before it spreads beyond its present con-
fnes.-Boston Herald.

A Young King In School.

The young king of Servia, Alexander
/, who, in consequence of his fathers
abdication wears crown at the age of
16, is perhaps not a perfect monarch,
but he is scholar of no mean merit.
Last year he obtained the mark of 'ex-
cellent" at all his examinations and
was constantly at the head of his class,
Of which he was the only pupil. This
year shows no falling off in the zeal of
the young sovereign, and we hear with
considerable satisfaction that last
Wednesday he passed his examination in
military practice with "the highest dis
tinction." Alexander I learned in two
months how to drill the lead soldiers
which the emperor Of Austria sent him

TWILIGHT.

Thy voice brings rect and peace.
And unto tlee Is given the power
To bid all disoord cease.
Let day fade with It's lead Of sorrows:

care not for the coming morrows,
For thcy may banish thee.
Oh. that this eve could last forever,
Ambition's sun be set,
For with thee near my heart would mover
The busy world regret
Only count us as Loves immortals;
Lot each be ono in soul:
Bid Night halt at the western portals
And Death collect no toll.
Then twilight would be fraught with
splendor.

And each to each all love would render

The Lines In tho Hand.

Cleveland Leader: Square or spatu-
lated fingers, in tine science of palmistry
denote the philosophical and practical
temperament. Taper fingers signify an
artistic temperament, and very pointed
digits are sure sign of the dreamy,
psychical nature. Much ia learned by
the general quality and configuration of
tho hand amt palm, as well as by the
linea which cross the latter. The life
line running around the base OF the
thumb denotes long or short life, good
or i'll health, according as it is long or
short, clear and unbroken or otherwise.
The "heart line," running across the
palm nearest the base of the fingers, sig-
mites the quality of the possessor's
emotional nature, also the kind OF love
she will give and receive. This will be
enduring or temporary according to
whether the line be long and clear,
forked or crossed and chained. Below
this is the head line, which indicates
the mental and moral qualities and
achievements and deficiencies. The
line of fate rune perpendicularly across
the middle of the palm and is very i'm
portant factor in the happiness or I'M
clear and narrow, unclaimed and un-
crossed by the fine wrinkles which score
go many palms, and it should never
come to an end on the line of the heart,
since this signifies disappointment in
love. A cross on the mount of Mer-
cury," which is just at the base of the
for or index finger, is. an unfailing sign
of happy marriage.

Standards Of Measurements.

The 'foot' is named from the length
of that member in a full grown man.
Some say that 1t was SO called from the
length of the foot Of certain English
king, but it is believed to have been q
standard of measurement among the an
cient Egyptians.
The cubit is from the Latin cubitus,
an elbow, and is the distance from the
elbow to the end of the middle finger.
Fathom is from the AYyan, fat, to ex-
tend, and denotes the distance from tip
to tip of the fingers, when the arms of
an average sized man are fully extended.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
The Little Acrobat.

Douglas Tilden, tho mute California
sculptor, now a resident of Paris, has
given to his native land several proofs of
his genius. sThe Ball Thrower" in Golden
Gate park and 'sThe Tired Boxer in the
new Olympic club building are fine
specimens of the sculptor's art, and at
the Worlds fair his group of Indians
fighting bears has attracted much atten-
tion.
Quite recently he sent to this city a
mark of his friendship for gentleman
who has done much to help and encour-
