FAIR NOTES
A little boy was heard to say to his
father, Papa, is this the Omaha Ex-
position?" On being assured that it
was not the little fellow tbea. asked:
Papa, the Omaha Exposition is not
as big thing as this, is it2''
Two gentlemen on passing a coop
containing pair of Brown Leghorns
observed a newly laid egg. As mat
ter of course each of them made some
remark about the egg. Then one Of
them said: II would be willing to bet
my entire fortune, consisting of five
cents and two coppers, that everybody
who passes this coop, grown folks or
children, black or white, Jew or Gen
tile, makes some remark about that
egg" They decided to remain near by
for twenty minutes to see if there was
single exception. At last the time
was up, and not one person had failed
to say something about the egg in the
coop
The person who extracts the greatest
amount of enjoyment out of Fair or
other public gathering is the one who
stations himself at a certain point and
looks at the costumes and listens to
the remarks of all the passers by. Not
two people dressed alike (unless it
chances to be twin sisters and scarce
ly ever are there people who Judge an
exhibition article in the same way.
What one person admires another does
not. 1t brings to mind the case of the
aged lover-husband who said if every
man admired his wife like he did every
man on earth would want her, and
listener replied: Eyes, and if nobody
admired her any more than | do no
man would want her" What happy
thing it is that all of us do not think
alike!
A little baby three weeks old, and its
mother were among the visitors to the
Fair.
The glass globe covering the mag
nificent stand of wax work by Mrs. T.
II. Shockley had crowd continually
around it. Surely no handsomer speci-
men of the wax-wOrker's art was ever
seen. A lovely bouquet of flowers rose
from base of fruits, jelly cake and
candies. Nothing in the line of wo-
mans handiwork attracted greater adj
miration than this display of Mrs.
Shockley's.
A Northern lady bought S32 80 worth
of canned fruit from the John A. Man
get display while it was on exhibition.
| There was on exhibition a warship,
Senator Clay" made by a colored boy !,
Warren Butler, IA years old. 1t was a
very creditable piece of work indeed
