Women Who Have Amassed Large Fort.
There are W. men who inherited
wealth and added to it by their own
brains and energy. There are still
others who have amassed their own
fortune. Hetty Green had Q few mil
liens to start with that she got from
her father. She made the rest OF her
enormous fortune herself. Mrs. Frank
Leslie Wilde was comparatively poor
when her first husband, Franz Leslie,
diei. She is n W worth $2, 500, 900, and
has regular income of el25,O00. Mrs.
Bradley Martin inherited snug sum
from her father, Isaac Sherman, the
stove manufacturer. She invested it
carefully and managed it shrew wdly and
now she has $40, 900, 600 che can cali
her own.
There are American women of riches
who married titles and have not al
lowed their husbands to receive their
wealth In exchange for the titles be-
slowed. When Isaac Singer, the
famous sewing machine manufacturer,
died he left his daughter Isabella

Decazas. But she put her inheritance
In solid real estate and gilt.edged
bonds, and realizes $lOO,OOJ . year,
which does not slip away from her.

retta, received s2, OOO, 600, and married

that not only the Singer girls, but also
their mother, the Widow Singer, were
united In wedlock to tho nobility. and

success, and. If met in a spirit of
friendliness by officials, will for
right consideration give the fair all
the space required to thoroughly ad.
vertise it.
The Secretary should also be a
man who will have every part Of his
work ready when the fair begins, and
one who can as well take a good
many cuffs and rcbuifs with smile
The General Superintendent must
likewise be up and doing at all times,
as he ordinarily has to be in more
places at the same time than any
other official. He should have the
nerve to enforce all regulations
without fear or favor, which rules
ought to prohibit every species OF
gambling or "fake" shows on the
grounds, as no enterprise can long be
successful and tolerate gambling.
Prohibit Gambling.
! know personally of a fair associ-
alton that sold its gambling privi-
leges for six hundred dollars. At the
close OF the same, the party who
bought this right admitted that he
made six thousand dollars through
his investment. Here were fair Of

should be, simply because Of mex

should be, simply because Of mex
perienced management. There is
everything in efficient management.
Hon. Robert Mitchell, Of Gibson
County, Indiana. has written an arti-
Gle descriptive of the manner in
which county fair can be success
fully conducted. Mr. Mitchell is a
leading farmer and has for years
been actively identified with the
management Of agricultural exhibi-
tions. lie has served as member
OF the Indiana State Board Of Agri-
culture for eighteen years, and was
for three terms chosen to preside
over the deliberations Of that body
az it's President. He has also been
chairman Of the Executive commit
tee Of the Indiana State Grange
for sixteen years, and was
appointed by Gov Ilovey as
the Commissioner from Indiana to
the Worlds Fair There he was Sc.
lected as one OF the judges on the
Committee of Awards in the agri-
cultural department, and served in
that capacity for fifteen weeks. He
resides on his farm near Princeton,
and for twenty years has been the
Government crop reporter for his
district. His wide experience in mat
ters relating to agriculture and in
the management OF agricultural ex-
hibitions gives value to the sugges-
tions be makes concerning the sue
cessful management OF county fairs.
Plan OF Organisation.
The successful management Of
county fairs, Mr.. Mitchell says, de-
pends: First, upon tue organization;
and Of all the plans that have been
attempted, that OF stock associa-
tion has given the best satisfaction.
and has stood the test OF time longer
than any other system. In such an
organization, the shares of stock
should be issued In quantity sufficient
to give ample funds to fully equip
tho association grounds for the &C.

money for paltry tribe, money that
otherwise might have gone into le-
ultimate channels.
Some persons may argue that trot-
ting horses tends to gambling. Such.
however, Is not the case. A good
speed program is absolutely necessary
to successful fair, and can
be had without pool-boxes or
gaming Of any kind, especially
at county fairs, as the visitors
to such are largely from the rural
population, which, as q rule, does
not to any extent indulge In betting.
Races at fairs are usually held for
the entertainment Of patrons. The
first part OF the day is taken up by
the showing Of stock and other arti-
cles on exhibition. The after part
of the day the visitors are inclined to
rest. While resting they must be EN-.
tcrtaincd, and no better amusement
has been devised than a good speed
program. Trotting meetings, with
pool boxes and betting on the results
OF races. are entirely different from
trials OF speed at county fairs.
Thirdly, successful fair manage
ment, to some extent, depends upon
the amount OF money offered In the
way OF premiums. This must be
entirely by the gate re-
ceipts and rents from privileges sold,
as these comprise the resources OF the
society to meet all expenses Many
fair managers, in order. to increase
their receipts, charge entrance fees
or a per cent. upon the premiums
competed for, but this is q mistaken
policy, as 1t involves tax upon the
the party who makes your
gate receipts possible. II the fair
has large exhibition, the gate re-
ceipts are increased, and success In
sured. No exhibitor ought to b
taxed except IN the speed depart
ment, and that d done tor the pnr-
pose Of securing bon0ss racs& Ihe

should be effected with a definite Oh
lect In view. namely. the securing OF
efficient and competent men. for the
success Of fairs depends greatly upon
their management. The election Of
officers should be by ballot, and a
clause Of the constitution of the as.
sociation ought to provide that no
stockholder can cast more than one
vote, two objects being obtained by
this rule: a better distribution OF the
stock Of the association, thereby in.
suriIg more stockholders as active
workers for the success of the fair:
and the advantage that it prevents
"rings" or combines" from being
formed for personal influence and
profit. which usually results In unfair
and unsafe fair management.
Advertise In the Newspapers
The officers of successful fair,
during fair week, must meet, be ever
on the alert, and see that every rea.
sonable want OF the exhibitor is
looked after, and each director should
be assigned department OF the far
work by the President of the associa-
tion. This officer should be elected
because Of his ability to fill the posi-
tion, and he should know exactly
what department a director can
best oversee. 1t is imperative with
the President that he sees that all
minor officials perform their duties
equally and with thoroughness
The Secretary must be live man,
and especially should he know the
Importance Of printers ink. The fair
should be thoroughly advertised, not
only in its own county but In those
adjoining No exhibition will be a
success without being well adver-
tised. Every local paper within the
territory from which it is expected
to draw should be given a large dis
play advertisement ut least a month
before the fairOpens, and it is a part
of the Secretary's business from
that time on to supply those papers
with interesting paid references to
the coming event. Some fair man
ayers neglect this, or possibly
they think it doesn't pay. An cx-
rerience of many years upholds me

THE HUMOR OF IT.
A Certain Grim Aspect to tho Funny Sid.
OF the Fair,

A Certain Grim Aspect to the Funny Sid,
of the Fair.
The humorous side OF the county
fair has certain grim aspect to it.
There is young Josh, escorting his
Samanthy safely past thimb'e e-rig-
gers, impossible lottery chances. and
a whole battery OF tempting "oppor-
tunities to double your money" faces
his fate when confronted with a va
riety OF sportive signs that are cal,
culated to make his pocketbook feel
very hungry. During the day this
couple offer an excellent target for
the taffy and lemonade venders, who
courteously extend themen invitation
to stop, examine, and invest Does
he invest? His exchequer Is getting
low, but Samanthy gives him an af-
fectionate look, and his sub
stance is wasted on hoky-poky,
popcorn, and the usual trim
mings OF a well-regulated fair.
Eventually the day draws to a close,
the sun begins to set behind q dis
tant stock pen, the bullfrog In the
pool commences his evening warble,
and young Josh starts homewards.

held A fair, like newspaper, is
usually a reflex of the community in
which it exists. Find county with
a poor exhibition Of its products. and
you have locality sadly deficient in
the life and enterprise necessary 10

capacity. The success or failure OF
the'county fair depends, of course,
very largely on the county and the

counties the fair is not what it

THEY ARE DEAD.

There was man who never told a lie
But he's dead.
Never said 1t was wet when the weather was
Never said
He'd caught a fish when he hadn't caugh,
one,
Never said he'd done somethingithat he had
MT done,
Never scolded his wife, and never got mad
And wouldn't believe that the world was sc
bad.
A respecter of men, defendeY of woman,
Who believed the divine and in that which
was human;
Meek as Moses-he never was understood,
And the poor man died of being too good.
And he's dead
There was woman who had never gossipped
She's dead, too;
Who hated all scandal, nor listened to it,
She believed in Il mankind, took care Of hen
cat,
Always turned deaf ear to this story OF
that;
Never scolded her hasband-she never had
one;
No sluggard was she, but rose with the sun:
Never whispered in meeting, didn't care fol
bonnet,
Or all the feathers that one could put on it;
Never sat with the choir or sang the wrong
Expressed no de sire to lecture or vote;
For the poor soul was deaf post-alst
dumb;
You might have called forever and sh,
wouldn't have come.
And she's dead.

greatly cheapened and improved in re-
