And the Minister Smiled.

The York (Me.) Transcript says that
Portland minister recently called up
on one Of the families in his parish.
He ascended the steps and knocked at
the door. Receiving no response, he
was about to depart when he heard q
window in the next house open and q
woman's voice say, Mrs. Smith, the
minister's at your door,"
What was the pastors surprise and
amusement when he caught Mrs.
Smiths response waited gently around
the corner Of the house, "Sh, don't you

The next Sunday after service Mrs.
Smith met her pastor and expressed
her sorrow that she was away when he

The Democrats Meet and Resolve But
Do Not Nominate.
The Democrats of the Seventh Judi
cial district met in convention at Little
Falls Tuesday but made no nomination
for district judge against Judge Searle
and that gentleman has a clear field
for reelection to position he has
long and ably filled. There was a
strong sentiment in the convention in
favor of endorsing Searle. The fol-
lowing resolutions were passed:
Resolved, that the Democrats of the
Seventh judicial district in convention
assembled declare their strong adher-
ence to the idea of non-partisanship in
the selection of the judges of the dis
trict court. The operation of this
method of election during the past
twenty years has proved satisfactory
to the people of the district, and has
given our court a standing second to
none in the northwest.
Resolred, that we express our appre-
citation of the judicial ability, the i'm
partiality and high character of our
present bench, Judges D. B. Searle
and L. L. Baxter.
Resolved, that when this convention
adjourns, it do so without making any
nomination whatever.-Roy0H0n Ban

to the housewives. There was also a
very nice display of bread brought out
by the different contests and the
UNIONS first prize was awarded to
Mrs. Ayers, while the second went to
Miss Shaw.
The wheel barrow race was won by
Bert Nokes. Another interesting con-
test was the Mother Hubbard race in
which the contestants appeared ar
rayed in pretty wrappers bearing this
old nursery name. The boys were not
at home in skirts and the crowd had
considerable fun before the race, but
when the word was given they started
up the track as if someone in a similar
costume was after them with a handy
slipper. In this race the leaders tied,
Bert Nokes and Norman Marshall
coming under the wire together.
Notwithstanding the threatening
and disagreeable weather the fair was
we'll attended and with all the addi-
tional expenses incurred this year it
is quite probable that the finances will
not be in very bad condition. At
this writing the premiums have not
been paid but the officers anticipate
that the shortage will not exceed $50
and this several Princeton people have
announced that they are willing to
make good, so all will be paid in full.
This happy state of affairs is due to
the work Of the officials, who have
labored diligently to promote the sue
cess of the exhibition. Secretary John
son has rustled early and late and is
entitled to no little credit. Behind
him was a board of directors who
shirked no duties and worked with
equal zeal to bring about the success
attained. Saturday with the thermo-
meters near the freezing point there
were over 1900 people in attendance
and had the day been pleasant there
would have scarcely been room on the
grounds for the crowd. Friday it is
estimated that there were nearly 1000.
Since the first season or two there
have been no crowds present like those
Of last week and no fair since then has
given the satisfaction to the public
this one has. All who attended spoke
in terms Of highest praise of the
affair and expressed hope that next
year the success would be repeated.
This has caused many of those inter-
ested to suggest that the association
be reorganIzed and it is altogether
probable that meeting will be called
soon with this object in view.

CROP CONDITIONS.

The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
-Four days of the week were without
rain, except in small areas. There
we're heavy rains on the 10th in the
Minnesota valley and the southwest,
and in nearly all parts of the State on
the l4th. The temperatures of the
9th and 10th were rather high for the
season, but the rest of the week they
were moderate till the 18th. Frosts
occurred on the morning of the 10Th in
northern portions first of the sea-
son. On the morning of the 18th frosts
were general in all parts of the State,
those in the northern half probably
being severe enough to kill vegetation
not already ripe; the only crop of i'm
portance liable to injury being the late
flax. A little threshing has been at
tempted in kittson county, and posi-
bly, in a few other counties. but this
work was practically at standstill
during the whole week Wheat still
in shock is in lad condition, and that
in stack is said to be damp and sprout-
ing. Some OF the late flax has been
cut, but unless dry weather comes on
1t may be injured. Corn cutting is
nearing completion, but in some places
the ground is so soft that corn binders
cannot be used Flowing has been
made much easier in southeastern
counties; elsewhere it is going on we'll
except where the ground is too wet.
Potatoes are being dug where the soil
is dry enough. The second crop of
wild grass is better than the earlier
crop, but rains have made it difficult
to secure. Pastures are very good.
