He Missed the Pun.

There are no funnier people in the
world than those who never see a joke.
Many good stories are told about them,
and OF these one of the best as well as
one of the latest, is furnished by the
Washington Post.
Many years ago, when the Press Club
was in existence, a British newspaper
man was at the club one evening. He
had been in Washington for some time
and was leaving the next day. Mr..
Karl Decker made speech to him.
"Mr. So-and-S0," said Mr. Decker,
you have spent some time with us,
and have made many friends. We
have become attached to you. You are
going away tomorrow, and we may
never see you again, but in order that
you may always have something by
which to remember us, on behalf of the
Press Club l present you this ring"
And then he struck the call bell on
the reading table near him. The Eng
lishmen looked trifle bewildered for
a bit then he reached out his hand,
thanked the club and pocketed the bell.

Devastation in the Region of Which

Winnipeg, Oct. 4.-The prairie fire
which ragged all over the country Satur-
day died out during the night. The
mornings sun dawned upon a terrible
scene OF death and devastation. Farm
houses, implements, crops and live stock
everywhere were consumed. Many farm
ers lost their all. At Beausejour, 40 miles
east of this city, two women and five
children named AIoreski were burned to
death. Fire came upon their house in
the woods from two directions simultan-
eously and shut off all means of escape.
Only few charred remains were found
this morning. There were many narrow
escapes and number of families are
homeless and utterly destitute BagOt,
! 10 miles west, was practically wiped out
of existence At Stony Mountain the
fire ran upon the Canadian Pacific plat
form where by desperate efforts it was
stayed. At Oakland, on the Portage
branch of the Northern Pacific, several
hundred cords of wood and thousands of
tons of hay were licked up.

NO DEATHS AT NEW ORLEANS.
Death Rate Has Fallen to Less Than
Eleven Per Cent.

New Orleans, Oct. 5.-For the "a hours
closing at nightfall yesterday there had
not been a single death recorded in the
office of the board of health Sunday
there had been 81 new cases reported and
at o'clock Monday night % were re-
ported since Sunday night. Sunday there
were under surveillance nearly 200 prem
sises in which yellow fever had been dis
covered to exist, and in some of the
houses there were four or five cases, vet
not a single one had proved fata in pa
hours. The result was that the death
rate had fallen to a trifling excess over
1880 per cent, and the prospects for an
early stamping out of the disease had
been considerably frightened At a spe-
cial meeting of the board of health it was
decided that ships bringing 300 Sicilian
immigrants, upon arrival here, shall be
detained at quarantine at the mouth of
the river until further orders, and no.

scheme for handling the gold output of
the Cripple Creek mines will be put into
use by the operators of that district. The
plan is to set aside the output for one
month, take the bullion therefrom and
ship to the mint at Philadelphia at a sin

secured for the purpose of transporting it.
The bullion will be placed in the charge
of some express company which can guar
antee its safety, and take all necessary
precautions to prevent accident or theft
while in transit. AS the present output
of Cripple Creek is over $l,0O0,OOO per
month, this will be one of the largest
shipments of gold bullion that ever

SPOKANE FRUIT FAIR OPENED.
rbe Parade UnexceIled i'm the HIS
tory of the Northwest.

Snokane, Oct 6.--Y esterday Spokane 5
fourth annual fruit fair and the greatest
of the four was thrown open to the world
If was inaugurated with parade that
exceeded in point of magniticence any
+b;no ever before seen in the northwest,
Over 10000 people viewed it pass through
the streets of the city. Floats that nv
aled in beauty those of the Mardi Gras
festival in New Orleans, drawn by gally
canarisoned horses and containing the
fairest daughters of the Inland Empire,
four great bands of music, civic and mill
tarv societies and many other features
were in its line
An early autumn day, perfect in atmos-
phere, warm but not sultly, was vouch-
safed for the occasion. Verify harvest
festival parade was that given. The queen
of plenty, Miss Rose BlaIock of Walla
Walla, presided over the opening cere-
monies and the parade was in her honor.
Seated on float of rare beauty, she led
the great procession, attended by her
court - Spring, Summer, Autumn and
Winter. Columbia, Britannia and Scan
dinavia were each represented by mag
nifcent characteristic floats. The parade
was over a mile in length. There was
nothing in it that was cheap or tawdry.
Local business houses expended vast
sums in preparing floats that were alike
a credit to themselves and the city.
There, in the middle afternoon, were en-
acted the ceremonies that opened the fair
to the world A bevy of graceful young
women escorted the queen of plenty to
the band stand and introduced her to
the thousands that filled the great build
ing She read an opening ode, composed
for the occasion by Mrs. Archer. The OPP
ening address was then delivered by John
A. Finch president of the fruit fair asso-
citation. Addresses were also made by
Congressman w. c. Jones and DR.. n. G.
Blalock. Then was the crowd free to
wander among the exhibits of the fair.
A feature in the parade and at the build
ing was the Sixteenth U. S. infantry band
from Fort Sherman, one of the most bril-
liant military bands in the country,
which is engaged to furnish music
throughout the fair season.
The harvest in all sections of the In
land Empire has been an enormous one.
In addition to this the agricultural pop
ulation has been increased and new and
productive sections have been developed.
All these things have conspired to bring
an unusually large number of exhibits to
the fair. The richer sections of Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and British Column
bia, embraced within the limits of the
great basin termed the Inland Empire,
have all contributed their first fruits
