With Advancing. Summer.

Some of the newest skirts have
trimmed sides and Il narrow, plain
front: others show the back as well, or
namented.
No matter what anyone may say TO
the contrary, odd waists of tatfeta arc
still numbered in the wardrobes OF
women of fashion, and will be this fall.
You can hardly put too much lace on
your midsummer gowns. whether they
be of silk. cotton or the very fashion
able thin wooden goods of a semi-trans-
parent nature. like the revived bareges
and veilings worn.
There is every prospect of tucks re-
naming in fashion for the fall, and the
revived cashmere gown will be orna-
mented in this manner. The round,
tucked corsage is too becoming to slen'
der figures to allow it to drop, and the
dry goods merchant will rejoice at the
fashion that sells more material.-Chi-

HIGH-CLASS POULTRY.
why the Progressive Farmer Will
Knisc No Other Kind


NO man has better chance to keon

mas unlimited range for them, and this
is conducive to health and best results
III rearing the young. He produces at
llrst cost every necessary food product
'hat goes to keep flock during the
year, and no one who desires to pur-
chase eggs for Matching would ever buy
OF breeder who keeps his fowls Dcnned
up if he knew where he could get e,ros
from farm-kept fowls.
There is just as good a market for
hlgh-class poultry as there is for
poultry for market, and the demand is
always good for good stock. The farmer
VINO keeps this kind of poultry has two
chances to make money. His flock will
be profitable as an investment at mar
ket prices, and he will make many sales
without effort at much above marke
prices.
1T is no trouble at all, rs the writer
KNOWS from experience. to get from so
cents to one dollar dozen for eggs
from high-class hens during the hatch
ing season, and even at the smaller price
there is an immense profit in the bust
ness.
With the better care that is always
given to good stock comes greater re-
turn in eggs and meat for the feed used.
and here is an additional profit on the
transaction.
There is 10 excuse in these days that
justities any farmer in allowing his
flock of hens to remain mongrels. The
man who does this is standing in his
own light and does not live up to his
| opportunities. It does not need fancy
houses. elaborate systems of yards nor
extraordinary skill in breeding to make
success with fine poultry. Plain. hard
common sense. such as is needed to
raise good crops and conduct any farm
successfully. is better than any number
of nice theories which are of no practic-
al value.-Farmers' Voice.

Home made Linen Collars.

The very latest linen collaris of white

around the neck. Linen stiffening is
then put inside and the collar is fin
ished with band, buttonhole, etc, like
any ordinary collar. Around the ends
there is now stitched tiny, narrow Ham,

turned under and the collars neatly
stitched, after which it is Numbered and

eff there is anything l despise and
detest," said Mrs. Blltops, Its nelun-
choly."
Mrs. Billtops is not often SC vigorous
in speech as this, and when she is Mr..
Bllltops knows that it is time to brace
up. AS matter of fact he takes usual
~ cheerful view; but when he is de-
pressed, as he is occasionally, he is
glum and silent and solemn enough,
and he makes everybody around him
wretched. The children, sitting ut the
table, stop talking, the dinner gets
cold, and everybody is chilly and mis-
cradle except, perhaps, at the last, Mr..
Billtops himself, who finds, finally. Il
sort OF melancholy pleasure in the gem
eral depression that he has caused.
But Mrs. Billtops has no use for any
body that casts a gloom. She has her
own trials, but she never bothers any,
body else about them; outwardly. at
least, she is cheerful and spirited al
ways, and she can't abide anybody that
let's his troubles so far overcome him
that he intlicts then, on other people,
too, and SO she says:
"If there is anything L despise it's
melancholy"
At that Mr.. hilltop takes a GRACE.
He looks up and smiles. 1t is wonderful
with what alacrity the children re-
spond, and Mr.. Billtops responds to
that, and gloom is dispeIled once more
by the ever grateful light of cheerful
ness. And when Mr.. Billtops, as the
phrase goes, gets something to eat. he
feels himself better still. He remem-
bers what he has often said to himself,
that no feeling Of depression should
ever be accepted as genuine until it has
been subjected to the test of a good
! square meal, a,.d he finds that the pres
ent one will net stand that test. In
fact, under the combined influences of
Mrs. Billtops' energetic protest and the
good dinner it is rapidly disappear-
ing. and as the dinner progresses Mr..
Billtops takes still broader and more
cheerful view of things. and by the time
the meal is finished he is beaming with
good nature, perfectly satisfied with
the present, and absolutely confident
of the future.-N. Y. Sun.

PATIENT OLD AGE,
1t Always Finds Friends md Sympa.
thiZerS.

Truly there are trials belonging to old
age which are hard to bear. The loss of
faculties is the hardest, writes Mrs.
Lynn Linton. So long as one can en-
ploy oneself, not asking help from any
person-so long as one can read, write,
work, knit-what you will in the way
of independent occupation. old age has
lost one of its worst infections.
When blindness and deafness and in
ability to use the hands. and such boH-
lily weakness as makes movement i'm
possible-When all these have over
taken the old. then the dregs are indeed
bitter. And then there is nothing for
it but the grand, brave dignity Of pa
tience-the noble resignation which ac-
cepts the inevitable and makes the best
of bad conditions.
Patient old age always finds friends
and sympathizers, where the peevish
and the grumblcr, like camphor atoms,
repel all with whom they come in con-
tact When old age is selfish and re-
pining-thinking only of its past joys
or its present pains, the young, to whom
patience is a natural virtue. and the
shrinking from annoyance is natural
instinct. these young shrink from the
Door, soured old creature. whose talk is
a threnodv and whose daily life is an
unwilling martyrdom.
They cannot console. and they feel
the jealousy which denies them sympa-
thy and gives them instead an angry
kind Of reprobation. They suffer in the
cold and shadow Of loveless and I'M
sympathetic, selfish and grasping age.
They would give love if they had love
to give them: but when they know that
the glory Of their young days serves as
a text for unkindly comments and un-
sympathetic feeling. then they with
draw, and shrink, and fail to show those
sweet attentions which the young love
to show the old-if so be those dregs are
swallowed patiently and are not flung
as so much poison into the fresh faces
whose lips are red with the wine as yet
sparkling, foaming and uneNhausted'

WHILE ISANTI COUNTY SECURED
THIRB PLACE IN THE
AWARDS.
wADENA, STEVENS, ST. LOUIS.
These Three Were So Close as to
Puzzle the Judges a Great
Deal.

Never was competition keener among
the counties at the fair than that Of
this year, which terminated yesterday
with the above awards by the judges.
BY a coincidence the counties making
the display were the younger Cnes Of
the state, and, realizing the great
value to their respective regulations
in securing the hOnOrs of the contest,
no effort was spared in the striving
of one to outdo the other. Naturally
some of the displays excelled in re-
spect where others were not strong,
but where one county was above the
average it's competitors equalized mat
tiers by excellence in another line.
Generally the exhibits were we'll filled,
making contests in every class and
allowing but few points to 60 by de-
fault. That the struggle for suprem-
acy was close is evidenced by the fact
that the judges were occupied two
days in making the awards, and in
some of the exhibits the products had
to be gone over a second time. The
conscientiousness of their work. how
ever, is attested by the fact that every
county is satisfied with the result, and,
where defeated, is determined to re-
turn again next year with hopes of
better success. All could not win the
coveted prize but because some are
behind others it does not signify that
every display was not of high quail
ity. On the contrary, every county has
reason to be proud of the display made
and won meritorious communication
from both the judges and fair man
ayers, while the department as whole
was one of the most interesting fea-
lures to visitors.
In wheat, st. Louis and Otter Tail
counties lead, and they were tied. In
the display of shelled corn, Anoka
led. In oats Isanti and Anoka were q
tie Wadena was the leader in barley,
and Otter Tail and Wright lead in
flax, but were tied. Anoka led in rye
Otter Tail was the leader in grains and
feeds, and also in flax and fibre, su-
gar beet and sorghum. In native
grasses Stevens was marked 100, the
awards being based on the 100 mark
Otter Tail county landed first prize
fully on it's merits. The county had an
excellent display, with entries in every
class, of qualities which could not
otherwise than appeal to the judges.
1t was the most comprehensive exhibit
as is evidenced by the fact that a
score of 100 was received for the great
est variety of products entered But
six perfect grades were awarded in the
