The bicycle race was won by 6.
A. Beorn of this city. Mr.. Beorn
had some difficulty in getting a
fair deal in the race but finally
won his point as well as winning
the races. The trotting races were
all won by Red Wing parties.

buildings and halls in the city.
His hall is large and commodious

dancing there was not a percept-
able jar Of the floor.

One of Gods Little Heroes.

The patter of feet was on the stair
AS the editor turned in his sanctum chair
And said-for weary the day had been
"Don't let another intruder in"
But scarce had he uttered the words before
A face peeped i'll at the half closed door,
And child sobbed out, ttSir, mother said
! should come and tell you that Dan is dead. "
"And, pray, who is DAM" The streaming
eyes
Looked questioning up with strange surprise.
''Not know him? Why, sir, all day he sold
The papers you print, through wet and cold.
"The newsboys say that they cannot tell
The reason his stock went off SO WE'LL
I knew-With his voice so sweet and low,
Gould any one bear to say him Nor
"And the money he made, whatever it be,
he carried straight home to mother and me.
No matter about his rags, he said
If only he kept us clothed and fed.
"And he did it, sir, trudging through rain and
cold,
Nor stopped till the last Of his sheets was sold
But he's dead-he s dead-and we miss him so!
And mother-she thought you might like to
know"
In the paper next morning, as 'tleader," ran
A paragraph thus: ''The newsboy Dan,
One of Gods little heroes, who
Did nobly the duty he had to do
For mother and sister earning bread
BY patient endurance and TOLLS dead"

PIERCE COUNTY'S BIG SHOW.
The Exhibit Better Than the
last--Every Department Full.
The Racing Fair.

! County Fair was utilized in the
! usual routine work and entries
of the exhibits. Thursday, the
second day Of the fair, was prac-
tlcally he opening day. The
people began to arrive early in
the morning and before the hour
OF the commencement of the pro-
gram the grounds were crowded
with people hailing from every
section Of the county.

hall and filled the air with frag-
rance.
Mr.. FL. r. Huber occupied his
usual corner with his large stock
of organs, pianos and sewing
