get Jake interested in shell game, and
although Jake was perfectly sure that
he could locate the elusive pea and was
ready to bet his money against the
greenbacks which the stranger Haunted
in his face Samanthy timjdIy urged
him to come away. Jake calamity con-
scented and thus saved his money. They
found a weighing machine, and Saman-
thy got on the platform, only to blush
violently when the hand indicated that
she had tipped the beam at 1877. A tent
show, in which was exhibited an albino
woman, a snake charmer and a sword
swaIlower, received their patronage and
applause, and then they went into the
exhibition tent, where all sorts of farm
produce was displayed. There was a
wonderful pieoed quilt, which Samanthy
reckoned it must have taken nearly a
lifetime to make, and a pumpkin that
Jake was sure he couldn't lift if he
tried, besides other marvellous things.
They inspected the stock together,
Jake wisely discussing the fine points
of each animal and displaying an
amount Of agricultural lore that was as
tonishing By this time they were hun
cry, and so they hunted up ''the folks. -
The Stebbinses were gathered around
the big lunch basket in the shade of the
fence and were volubly discussing the
events of the forenoon.
After dinner Jake took Samanthy
into the grand stand for the races.
There were horse races and bicycle races.
About the former Jake could talk learn
eddy, but when it came to discussing the
riders of the silent steeds he was all at
sea and ventured nothing further than
an occasional "Gee, don't they go,
thought
During an interval in the racing
there was a balloon ascension, and Jake
was one of those who crowded to the
front and responded to the invitation of
the aeronaat to hold down the basket
while the ropes which held it to the
earth were cast off. Samanthy looked
on from a distance as the great bag
swayed and tugged to free itself, and
when it was finally released she and
Jake watched it, standing hand in
hand, as it scared of up into the sky.
The last race was over and the husky
voiced fakirs had begun to pack up their
outfits when Jake climbed into the bug
gy beside SAmanthy. Both had seen en-
tirely enough of the county fair and
were looking forward with pleasure to
the long. cool, quiet drive home under
the soft light of the harvest moon.

KNOWS NO BOSS.

A fresh illustration of the power
which president can assume and ex-
ercise when he is disposed to do so, is
shown in the hanging up" of the river
and harbor Improvements by Mr.. Cleve-
land.
Congress at the last session made
large appropriations for the improve
ment of waterways. President Cleve-
land opposed the bill. but it became a
law in spite of his protest. He appar-
emily has decided to pursue the same
course toward this law that he has
toward many others and refuse or neg
lect to execute it.
His action in the matter is not in it
self a cause for complaint. The coun-
try will doubtless get along very well
without the expenditure of the appro-
priation. Neither is it Objectionable as
a precedent, because it is not the first
law of congress that he has ignored by
a considerable number.

tuaki Five rings for 10 cents, and every
time you ring cane it 8 yours Here's a
chance to get dollar cane for 10 centsF'
OF course Jake tried his luck and one
out OF the 30 rings which he threw
CHANGED to drop over the head of a light
bamboo cane with which he sported
around the rest of the day. Then Sa-
manthy became interested in some
thing. 1t was negro who stuck his
head through hole in a canvas curtain
and invited any one to hit it with a
baseball.
Come arm nowI Come arn!'' shout
ed the fakir in charge of the stand.
Every time yer hits his head yer gifts
a good cigar. Hit him three times run
min and yer gifts a whole box?''
Does anybody ever hit him?'' asked
Samanthy Of Jake in an undertone.
Do they?'' replied Jake ''Well, you
just watch me. -
Then Jake paid 10 cents for the priv
ilege of throwing three basebalIs at the
grinning black face, but somehow he
could not seem to hit the mark, for Just
as the ball was apparently about to
spread the Negroes nose all over the rest
OF his face he oleverly dHcked his head
and the yielding canvas received the
blow.
'Yahi Yahl Come again, honeyl
Yer amt cute enough fer dis var mig
gah''
This defiance was too much for Jake,
and he invested 10 cents more, hurting
the balls with all the strength of his
brawny arm. But they few wide of the
mark, and the jeers of the negro were
swelled by the shouts of derision from
the crowd. Jake had had enough, and
although the fakir urged him to try
again he concluded to stand by and see
others throw the balls with no better
success.
The white tent of a tintype artist
next attracted them. ''Step right inl
Step right inl'' said the barker outside
''Get your pictures taken, three for a
quarterl''
Shall we?'' inquired Jake.
81 don't care, - responded Samanthy,
which Jake rightly interpreted as mean
ing that she would like nothing better.
So inside they went and the gentIemanly
artist posed them promptly before his
cum bersOme camera, Sam anthy sitting
in chair, gazing straight before her, and
Jake standing by her side as stiff and
rigid as if prepared to weather a gale or
Withstand prize fighters blow. The
result of the artists efforts was some
what hazy and indefinite. The shadows
might have been better arranged, but
Jake and Samanthy were not critical,
and the tintypes, in their pink paper
shields, were highly satisfactory to
them.
They wandered on, taking glance at
least at every fakir's booth. A black
mustached, loudly dressed man tried to

flourish. Samanthy was waiting for
him. She had donned her white lawn
dress and her best bonnet, and Jake
thought that she looked mighty fine. -
1t was the day of the county fair. For
weeks the countryside had been prepar-
ing for S1le event and anticipating a day
of such pleasure as only came once a
year. Many of the farmers had sent ex-
hibits of various sorts, and some had
been on the ground for day or two
with their big oxen, fine horses, fat
hogs, poultry, etc. Jake had been up
since daylight, and the effects of his
two hours work was plainly evident in
the immaculate condition of his turn
out. There was not a speck of dust or
mud on his new side bar buggy, and his
mares sides and TANKS shone as if they,
too, had been vanished.
The rest of the Stebbins family-for
they were all going - climbed into
Farmer Stebbins' two seated democrat,
slowed the capacious lunch basket in
behind and started off after Jake and
Samanthy, who had already disappeared
down the road in cloud Of dust.
1t was an ideal county fair day.
Although the sun was two hours
high and the air was still cool and
braoing, the mists that were ris-
ing from the creek and the cob
webs that shimmered on the grass by
the roadside foretold one of those mel
low September days which make life so
pleasant that bare existence is a luxury.
When the main road was reached. it
was evident that the Stebbins family
was not the only one that would be at
the fair. Dozens Of other democrat
wagons, just as heavily loaded, and all
sorts of vehicles besides, crowded the
highway, all bound downward and fair
ward.
When Jake and Samanthy, after a
drive of a dozen miles, arrived at the
trOtting park in which the fair was to
be held they found everything wide open
and ready to receive them. Even outside
the gates there was a crowd of fakirs,
huoksters and vendors of all sorts Of
things eatable ard drinkable-only an
earnest of what was to be seen inside.
Jake drove through the gates to the
Enclosure where other teams were being
hitched, and after substituting a bride
for headstaH he left his team, and,
with Samanthy on his arm, went forth
to ''take in'' the show.
A hoerse voiced, strong lunged indi-
vidual first arrested their attention.

Jake Immediately invested in quart,
and for the next half hour he and Sa-
manthy left trail of peanut shells be-

later they listed to the seductive invita-

BUT ONE KIND OF DOLLAR.

It seems strange that so intelligent
a body of men as the American Bank
ers' association would get together and
talk of a 100 cent dollar as the members
did at St Louis this week. They GER
tainIy know, as everybody else knows,
that there is not, never has been, and
cannot be any other kind of dollar in
the United States unless a law shall be
passed changing the system of none
tary enumeration.
As it now stands ten mills make a
cent; ten cents make a dime; ten dimes
make a dollar. How, then, can dol
lar contain less than 100 cents? Who is
proposing that it shall contain less
than 100 cents?
1t matters not whether the metal in
a dollar is worth in the market ten
cents or 200 cents; it matters not wheth-
er a dollar will buy two bushels of
wheat or one bushel of wheat, it is still
q. 100 cent dollar and cannot be any
thing else Legislation may increase
or decrease the value of a dollar as
compared with other things, but it can
not affect its value as compared with
itself.
A dollar of whatever material hav-
ing all the rights and privileges under
the law possessed by another dollar,
must of necessity be of equal value
with that dollar as a medium of ex-
change, however the values of the ma
terials of which they are made may
differ.
The silver dollar is an illustration of
this fact It is worth 100 cents and is
the equal of any other dollar in pur-
chasing power. although the material OF
which it is made is worth but 81 cents
measured in either gold or silver coin.
And this is not because it is redeema-
BILE in gold as is frequently asserted,
because it was so for years before the
passage of the law declaring it to be
the policy of the government to main
tain the parity of the metals-which it
has not done-and before Mr.. Carlisle
wrote his letter stating that he would
redeem silver dollars in gold if called
upon to do so.
The dollar being the unit of measure
ment cannot vary in value because it
can only be measured by itself. It may
become fgurativeIy, a 200 cent dollar by
having its purchasing power doubled
or it may in the same sense become a
so cent dollar by having it's purchasing
power cut in two, but there is nothing
in connection with the proceedings of
the American Bankers association to
indicate that this is what its members
meant.
If under free coinage of silver the
purchasing power of the silver dollar
shall remain unchanged, the purchas-
ing power of the gold dollar must also
remain the same. If the purchasing
power of the silver dollar shall be di-
mfnished the gold dollar will necessar-
lily be affected in the same way and tc
the same extent. A coin which is worth
| either more or less than 100 cents is not
| a dollar.
