"Ti,a Timesn Ca,una,pn RATES..

In order that no citizen of the South
west may have an excuse for not be-
ing posted on the developments of the
interesting political campaign which
isjust opening, The Times has made a
special campaign rate of $3.50 for the
daily and Sunday paper, and 35 cents
for The Twice-a-Week Times until
January i. While The Times is an
earnest and fearless supporter of
Democratic principles, it is, and al
ways has been, liberal enough to open
its columns to representatives of diff
ferent political opinions for the dis
cussion of their views. In the col
umns of The Times the important
news of the campaign of 1894 viii be
set forth fully and fairly. It's news
facilities are unequalled by those of
any other newspaper published in the
Southwest. At the prices made either
the daily or the Twiee-a-Week edition
should be in the hands of every man
who holds to those economic princI-
pies for the success of which the peo-
pie of the West are contending. Lib
eral terms to agents and postmasters.

The st. Louis Fair.
SOME OF IT'S ACHIEVEMENTS AND
POSSIHlLlTIES STATED
IN BRIEF.
The Thiriy-feurth Annual Exhibi.
tisn Higgins October 1, lSM-
New aud Mtritori0us Attrae-
Iions--t Worldwide
Reputation.

The St. Louis Fair is result OF
enterprise, push and stability OF pur-
pose, and is an exponent of n sound
and liberal business policy which
has made for that city a well-deserv-
ed national reputation.
The Thirty-Fourth Annual Fair
in St. Louis begins October l, 1894.
While other institutions throughout
the country, of like character but
not so we'll advertised or SO ably
managed, have either dwindled into
insigniticance or suddenly collapsed
this one has grown materially better
and more famous; its management
has become more successful from
year to year until to-day it stands
without rival as the greatest agri-
cultural fair and the most attractive
aggregation of exhibits in the world.
1t is more than this; it is an exhi.
bition embracing magnificent and
varied displays which are of interest
to all classes and kinds of men
| Each year adds new and meritorious
attractions, more numerous and elab
crate displays, more interesting
worthy and permanent featurea. Tht

1t Advertises the Town.


The man who hopes to have his
town obtain permanent prosperity
will patronize his home paper. That
paper is generally accepted as re-
fecting the character of the town.
Enterprising people cannot afford to
be misrepresented by sheet that is
an aggregation of typographical er-
rors and dead medicine ads. The
paper that is well supplied with
fresh local advertising will very
readily improve its columns of read
ing matter. A good local newspaper
is the best advertisement that a town
may have. The community that
keeps its editor we'll fed will find that
the investment is better than Gov
ernment bonds,

st. Louis National Fair''-this is a
grand possibility; in fact, a prob
ability. We have glorious country.
Different sections, it is true, have
peculiar local interests, but we are
one people having interests in COM
mon, under one government and one
flag. ANY institution which tends
to develop the industries, more firm
ly cement the interests and more
closely unite the hearts of this peo-
Pile, is worthy not only OF a national
reputation but a national and lib
eral patronage. Every patriotic cit
izen, every American, is interested
in such possibility. The writer
thinks there are grand probabilities
in this suggestion. All hail ''The
Great st. Louis National Fair" May
it come soon and come to stay.

management is intelligent and pro-
gressive, sparing neither time nor
money in an endeavor to make the
st. Louis Fair what its most ambi-
tlous friends would have it. The
result is marvellous and should be
the pride of all patriotic citizens. The
new features alone this year embrace
attractions, all sup to date,'' which
will infuse new life into the institu-
ton and make for it thousands of
friends. There will be found enter
tainment for those who enjoy the
beautiful and artistic and those who
appreciate the useful. None can 60
away dissatisfied.
The achievements of the st. Louis
Fair have been too many and too
far-reaching to be chronicled in de-
tail. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess and the fair IS a success.
This institution has created friend
ly rivalry among the breeders Of
stock, the builders of machinery, the
growers of farm products and man.
ufacturers throughout the land,
which must rebound to the best in
terests of the country at largo. Farm.
era breed better stock and grow bet
ter and more varied products, man.
ufacturers make better machinery,
the producer and consumer, the
farmer, business man and manu-
facturer are brought into closer and
more friendly contact. They become
better acquainted and are more fui-
ly imbued with the idea that all are
dependent upon each other that
their interests are not antagonistic,
but closely interviewer and generally
the same. This alone is grand
achievement. The st. Louis Expo
sition with its brilliant attractions,
her Yelled Prophet with his grandeur
and incompatible retinue of won.
ders, her dazzling beauty during the
first week in October her gala
week-are all the outcome of the
st. Louis Fair. st. Louis is owned
by st. Louisans and is not only
the most substantially built, but one
Of the hest advertised cities in the
wmii. Here are magnificent bust.
ness blocks and private residences
which are the glory of modern arch
itecture. The various substantial
public buildings of st. Louis and
the immense businesses built up by
industry, fair dealing and conserva
tive enterprise, reaching for trade
throughout The United States anC
into foreign countries, (of which the
Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Com
pany is fair type), all attest hel
growth and prosperity. Judicious
advertising brings prosperity; ant
the st. Louis Fair has accomplished
wonders along this limo.
When we consider all the achieve
ments there remain but few possi.
bilities to be suggested. Experience
is great teacher, and the manage.
ment of this fair, each year, car
raise the standard of excellence and
will do so. st. Louis, on account
of her location and solid, substantial
prosperity, is just the city for a grand
national fair--a fair that will attract
exhibits and patronage from every
State in the Union and foreign
countries as well. The st. Louis
Fair not only brings country and
city people, the farmer and business
man, into more friendly relations
but will unite more closely the easl
and the west, the north and the
south. 1t can be in importance to
the Natica what it now is TO the
States Of Missouri and Illinois. 'sThe

ahe Does the Kissing,
From Snare Moments.

from spare Moments.
1t is thoughtlessly said that man
kisses woman, but it is not so. 1t
may be set down as a principle, Oh
dogma, that it is always the woman
who kisses the man. On such oc'
casions man acts only in a respon-
sive and not in an initiative capac.
ity.
To produce a kiss only two things
are necessary, and man, except by
his mere presence, has nothing to
do with its origin. The first cir
cumstance is the opportunity, and
the second is the desire existing,
though unexpressed, in the woman's
own mind to be kissed.
When these conditions are pres
ent there is sure to be some kissing,
for the woman will, in a dozen ways
that cannot be defined, convey the
idea to the man, and he, if he be
not altogether a stick, will respond
to her will. Therefore, in all cases
of true kissing, it is the woman who
kisses, and not the man, who SIM
ply responds to the power and in.
fiuenee that he cannot resist. That
power lies in woman, and if it is
not present there will not be any
kissing.

hand at making Il thunder storm,
and in this he gives way to no man.
| remember one day in June--the
month in the whole year in which
you least expect rain-some natives
had brought a large python into
camp and were singing some OF their
rain songs. 1t is sudden death to
any native in Matabeleland who if
he sees gython does not by some
means or other manage to secure it
and bring it in alive. The king took
possession Of the reptile and said he
must go and make rain. laughed
at this, and said | did not think he
could do so, to which the king
replied, "You will see.''
The python was skinned alive, its
liver taken out and cooked, and the
usual rainmaking rites performed.
Curiously enough, just before sun
down the sky clouded over, ,and soon
| afterward one of the heaviest thun-
| der storms | had ever seen broke
over the place. Next morning the
king asked me if a white man could
| make thunder storm like that.
