l saw them on the stairway >
In a coy nook and dim.
A dainty little maiden,
With bright eyes and figure slim.
And sitting close beside her
Twas a very narrow space
A man. who famed her gently.
And watched her pretty face.
He gently pressed her fingers
And vowed he'd lost his heart.
He told her now he loved her.
And swore they'd never part
And then. ! do not blame him,
She looked 50 very sweet.
He quickly drew her downward,
And kissed her rosy cheek. -
OF course the little maiden
Thought this was very bold,
But for worlds she would not say So
Lest he should think her cold.
So she whispered to him shyly
While blushing deepest red

SUPPLEMENT.

portunity Of contributing to an institu-
ton whose management is working in
and out of season to advance your in
terests?
Awrong conception Of what the fair is
may exist in the minds of some. 1t is
not private concern belonging to the
society; it is a public institution by the
people, of the people and for
the people, says Secretary Pal
mer S. Clark, of the ST. Joseph
state fair. Whatever success there Is
in it, and whatever good comes from it
is for the community, and not the
members or officers Of the fair, who are
merely the peoples agents in transact
ing the business entrusted to them.
Let us impress upon you that it is your
fair not ours. To stay away from it
and not to aid in making it big and
grand, when you might attend, hurts
us some, but does more injury to you,
the people, and their cause, because the
greater the success of the exhibition
and the more widespread its influence
the greater the benefits to every citizen
of this agricultural state.

SUNDAY.

Among all people of all nationalities,
there exists an Unborn desire to express
in some way the gratitude and thanks
fulness they feel when ever bountiful
nature blesses them and rewards their
efforts with lavish crops, and golden
harvests While gaunt famine stalks
abroad in the parched fields of India,
and thousands of human beings have
persisted through hunger and disease,
the fields and granaries of favored Iowa
are trimming over with the life giving
products of the SOIL
In England, when the harvest is over,
some Sunday is set apart, and in every
hamlet the parish church is decorated
with the very finest specimens of the
years growth of cereals and vegeta-
bles, usually placed within the altar
rails, and Thanksgiving service of
song and praise is held. The toilers
look from nature unto natures Cod"
and pour out their hearts in gratitude
for the favOrs bestpWeds
Why could Hotn9aay, September
18th, be devoted to service of thanks
giving and praise. After three days
given to preparation, every exhibit
should be in place on the great fair
grounds. The best of all that grows
will be there, tastefully arranged, and
the citizens of the whole state could
come to the festival. people the undu-
lating slopes of the beautiful fair
grounds, and join in one grand pean
Of Thanksgiving and praise for the
bounteous harvest, and the rich bless
tngs they enjoy.
1t is an opportunity seldom given to
either ministerial association or music
al director, and while no absolute ar
rangements have been made in this di-
rection, the idea is given in the hope
that some such service of Thanksgiy-
ing may be arranged for.

cAMPING our.

Those who enjoy outdoor life will
ind no pleasanter or more convenient
way of seeing the fair than by going
into camp. Most beautifully shaded
grounds, with plentiful water supply
are furnished free to ALL There are
stores on the grounds that sell all kinds
of groceries, provisions, meats, bread,
etc., at reasonable prices. If you have
no camp outfit, it cuts no figure. Tents
and all other equipments can be OBJ
tanned on the grounds at reasonable
prices. If you want to know just what
they are, drop a line to Secretary Fow-
Ter and he will send price list by re-
turn mail. Get your feed for horses
and selves in the wagon, drive across
country, avoid railroad fare, pay once
for team at the gate on arrival, and
that will entitle you to keep the team
on the grounds all week thereafter free
of cost. The campers are on the in
crease every year, and those who know
how to do it, say it is the most conven-
lent and best way to see all the fair
without fatigue and worry. Try it
this year.

oDprELLows, cANroNMENT,

All branches of the great independ-
ent order of Odd Fellows will join in a
grand celebration at the state fair
grounds on Wednesday and Thursday,
September 18th and 10th. The mill
tary branch. the highest degree of the
order, known as the Patriarchs Mill

bers present, and will go into camp
Wednesday morning. The various
cantons will engage in number of
dress parades and drill for prizes
some of the drills win be held in front
of the grandstand. and as they have
one of the most fetching uniforms of
any military body in the United States,
the sight will be an inspiring one.
The grand master and grand officers
will have headquarters on the grounds
and on Thursday some prominent Odd
Fellows from abroad are expected to
address the assembled membership.

IND1ANs-LAsr OF THE RACE,

Black Hawk, the aged chief of the
Winnebagos, with a select company of
his sturdiest warriors, will be at the
fair to compete with similar crowd of
warriors from the Sac and Fox agency,
for honors in their old-time game of
Lacrosse. The boys will all want to
see a crowd of real live Indians, and
witness them play a game that is as
exciting as base ball and more danger
Gus. This game will be played daily,
and the Indians will go into camp on
the grounds, thus exhibiting to visitors
their ordinary methods of life in the te-
pee. All of which may have been a
common sight with the old pioneers,
but the newer generation will look up
on it with curiosity and wonder, as
something they have just read about
in books.

ors the society has determined to re-
turn to the old plan in the matter of
entries in the stock departments. Here
after a charge of ten per cent on first
premiums will be required at time of

viates the necessity of purchasing an
exhibitors ticket and also relieves ex-
hibitors of the deduction hitherto made
of ten per cent from their cash awards.

cattle, swine and sheep, August 26,
1897; speed, September 1, 1897, at ii
o'clock p. m. All other entries, Satur-
