deal for me, and 1 ought to be very
thankful" t
"Oh, yes, OF course" Dorothy re,
sponded, in quick sympathy. II think
she seems very fond of'-she hesitated
-"of talking"
A sudden twinkle came into the cap
tain's gentle eyes, but he heard a step
in the hallway and hastily changed the
topic of conversation.
81 hope you'll come and see me real
often; 1 git kinder lonesome some
times" he said, and Dorothy, who had
also heard the step, rose hastily to go.
Yes, I'll come and see you," she
said, nodding brightly at him. mann
ma said you couldn't walk very far, so
I'll try and come m every day" a
prompt acceptance of all invitations
was one of Dorothy's marked charac-
teristics.
Mrs. Baker stood in the doorway and
Dorothy turned upon the lowest step
TO say in her sweet voice: "Good-by,
Present Mrs. Baker," then lightly went
Down the walk, leaving to the captain
the acknowledgements of his wife's
new title.
"I've got a new friend" Dorothy an
nounced at luncheon, for at luncheon
Dorothy had conversational right of
way; at dinner time it was different.
Hes an old soldier and he's got rheu-
matism in one leg and a bullet in the
other, but he's very pleasant and he
wants me to come and see him every
day. Once he had a little girl he loved
very much, and he says she looked like
me-. Her picture isn't very pretty and
her hairs done up in funny little
braids, but he says she was a very nice
little girl, so of course I'm glad l look
like her. He's got a wife, too, the Pres
ent Mrs. Baker," with great empresse-
ment, land she's rather-rather ex-
haustin' when she talks, and she doesn't
like it cause the captain doesn't get
any pen-pencil money. What is pencil
money" After receiving a simple ex-
PLANTATION of the pension system Dor
othy went on. 'She says it was his
fault he didn't get the pension money,
and they need it dreadfully to make
both sides meet, and she has to work
her fingers to the bone-really she
looks quite fat-'cause"-but here Dor
othy was silenced and told that if she
gossiped about her captain neighbor
she could not go to see him any more.
The acquaintance that Dorothy had
begun grew more delightful and init
mate as time ven on. Dorothy became

commission to any boy; she walked
straight up to the most distinguished
person to be seen, a great man in brass
buttons, gilt cord and gold lace, and
smiling in sweet consciousness offered
him the flowers.
IF you please, 1 should like 10 have
these flowers put on Capt. Bakers
grave" she said.
The man smiled back into the wide,
brown eyes below the lowered hat
brim. And who was Capt. Baker, my
little lady" he asked, g~raciously.
Dorothy did not notice the change of
tense. Hes a great friend of mine,"
she said, in happy pride, land he lives
right near my house."
The gentleman stared at her in
amazement. why, l thought you
wanted to put these flowers on his
grave?" he exclaimed.
"oh, yes" Dorothy fastened to ex-
plain, 'but not on the grave of the
whole of him; he only lost part of him
in the war. I thought if you remem-
bered the people that were all killed
you ought to remember the others that
were some killed. 1 wanted you to put
these flowers on his legs grave"
The gentleman was smelling the
flowers and did not answer at once.
"You see" Dorothy eagerly went on,
'he's quite an old man, and he couldn't
be a farmer after he had a cork"-a
bitter memory re~turned-"a cork leg,
and they didn't even give him a pen
sion, and they ought to, for he's a very
nice man, and needs it more than lots
of folks that get it, papa says"
The gentleman lifted his face from
the flowers now But where is his leg
buried?" he asked.
Dorothy looked disappointed. II
don't know" she answered sadly. II
asked mamma once, and she said she
didn't know, but thought some of you
would be able to find it,"
"Why, Dorothy" said her fathers
voice behind, "where did you come
FROM" Then Dorothy gave him her
mothers message, and when the gen
tleman said he was coming to her house
after the celebration and would talk
about the captain and his pension, Dor
othy rode home in a very c~ontented
frame of mind.

Summer neIts ana nueI.,e..

Belts of bias black satin and black
satin ribbon are still a feature of dress,
and the wide belt of bias satin folds
drawn around a slender figure is one
of the most becoming fancles. Belts
of ribbon with pickles in the back are
seen on many-of the new thin gowns,
and three bands OF inch-wide black
velvet ribbon, spreading a little dis
lance apart at the middle VI the back,
where they are fastened with small
steel buckles, is another pretty belt
effect.

The new parasols are very attractive
in their varied combinations and de-

period of usefulness has not yet come;
and here, as in every other department
of dress, the polka dot tlourishes in all
sizes. Silk parasols of all tints are
spotted over with white, but the most
stunning thing of all is the white silk
covered with black velvet moons. Grad

ADVANTAGES OF THE FAIR.

Chairman P. E. Werner estima tes
that Sc, 600 attended the Street Fair
Thursday afternoon and evening.
The Fair has been a success beyond
all expectations. Merchants, hotel
keepers and tradesmen generally are
more than pleased with the patron
age they are enjoying. But greater
than all immediate benefits that
have come to Akron people is the
future advantages that will be en-
joyed from the thorough advertise
nent which the great entertainment
has given to Akron's hospitality and
enterprise. Not all our guests will
patronize Akron stores, many having
come here ostensibly for pleasure,
but while here they will find out
about the rare bargains offered by
Akron's merchants and will go home
to tell their friends about the advan-
tages of Akron as trading center.
To the citizens of Akron generally
the Fair is worth many times its
cost.

SMOOTH MAN.
He Forged Orders While In the
Penitentiary.

Crookedness among the cOnvicts
employed in Reynolds foundry at
the penitentiary has just been un-
earthed by an examination of the
books, says the Dispatch. A. E. Coy,
an Akron forger, who completed a
two-years' sentence on the sixth OF
this month is charged with practic-
ing his art of falsifying on the firms
books in entering records for over
work. The prisoners who accomplish
more than their tasks daily are cred
tied with overwork. It has been dis
covered that Louis Ray, a life man,
doing sentence for second degree
murder in Hamilton county, gave an
order to Coy for s24 which was duly
cashed, and it is now said that the
whole transaction was crooked. AS
Coy has gone nothing can be done
with him, but an investigation as to
Rays culpability is being made.

not only find the best lines of goods
to be obtained anywhere, but also
find them displayed in the most ar
tistic manner and disposed of to the
public at the same prices asked for
in the largest cities. So the whole
show is not the dazzling decorations,
nor the beautiful and inspiring mu-
sic, the free attractions and various
feats. They are good and full of
merit, but if you're a stranger In the
city, did you visit Akron's stores,
her manufacturing and industrial
plants? Have you noticed that
there is in Akron almost every phase
of manufacturing pursuit known in
the world? Have you visited the
parks, the various institutions and
public buildings? Unless you do
this your idea of Akron's resources
will not be up to the standard OF
their merit.
The object of the Free Carnival
and Street Fair is being carried out
to the letter. Akron is being extern
sively and prominently advertised
and her citizens and guests are be-
ing royalty entertained. Much
money has been spent by public
spirited men that you and YOU
friends may have good time and al
the same time be awakened to the
great development of Akron, and hel
wonderful possibilities. Let every.
body fall in line, and in the same
measure that these men have pro.
vided entertainment of high char.

show their appreciation by theil
presence on the streets and visits tC

every one to resolve that hereafter
the best foot must always be put

LARGE CROWDS.
Thousands Of 0ut-of- Town Guests
Are Here.

Not within the history of the city
has there ever been a week when
more people were on the streets
than has been the case during the
past few days. Main, Howard and
Market sts., in the Fair district have
been crowded daily. Thursday night
there were not less than sc, 900 people
on the streets, and the very best of
order prevailed. Everybody is in a
good humor. There is carnival of
mirth, of music and an incessant
train of jolly good times. Out-of-
town guests are just now beginning
to arrive rapidly. There are several
thousand strangers in the city, and
many more will yet arrive. Akron
is just now in a humor to entertain,
and no one will leave the city feeling
that they have not been we'll used.

POOR MAUDE.
The French Sensational Dancer Is In
An ASYLUM.

Maude DeLeon, the French sensa-
tional dancer, who caused consider
able excitement by her performances
in the Oriental theater during Elks'
fair week, is in an asylum for the in
sane at New York. The old, old
story is to be told again. Her health
was being wrecked by the life she
led with the show, and while the
Carnival company was at Niagara
Falls, she ran away from her job in
company with an actor. they went
to New York, where he abandoned
her, and her health gave way entire
ly, finally causing the loss of her
mind, and she was placed in IA char
itable asylum for the insaue. Her
place in the Oriental theater is taken
by pretty little French girl, Flora
DuVal, who does sort of sensation
al dance, but does not attempt the
extremes to which the other would

The Ingenuousness of Childhood.

Children are single minded an dsim
pie. The ingenuoueness of childhood is
one of its charms. Insincerity and pre-
tenae are foreign to the child, and its
life is transparent one In this respect
we ali need to become as little children.
The sbams with which our life is filled
shoeld be flung away. The deceptions
of foolish pride should be dropped, and
we should live one with another in the
simplicity of childhood Only thus may
we know the happiness that belongs to
none but the absolutely honest. Evan

DECORATIONS.
Something New Is Being Intro
duced Daily,

1t is artistically impossible to
describe the holiday costume that
Akron has donned in honor of the
Free Carnival and Street Frir, be-
cause something new is being intro
duced daily. More flags, bunting
and festooning is noticed about the
residences, and a more universal
disposition is shown by merchants
outside of the fair district to decorate
their stores elaborately. At night
the scene is one continuous maze. A
thousand prismatic tints seem to
combine to form bewitching
spectacle which is an inspiration to
ecstasy.
