made by the Breeders Gazette, lead
ing authority among stock men
throughout the country:
Ohio paid the penalty of its folly
in attempting to extend its State fair
over two weeks of time. The attend
ance the first week was dlstressingly
small and the result of the ill-advised
attempt to claim more than its own
is distinctly disappointing. 1t seems
a pity that with the magnificent equip
ment Of the Ohio state fair grounds
the men are lacking to guide the fair
Alright. Great possibilities in live
stock show lie before Columbus but
they will not be realized until the right
men are in control-men practically
familiar with the conduct Of the live
stock departments of big fair.
This is a remarkable commentary on
the way in which the fair was con.
Quoted, but no one cares to deny the
truth of It. The regret of 1t is that the
comment might have been extended to
practically all the other departments
as well. The people of Columbus may
have been to blame for the holding
of the fair two weeks instead of one,
but certainly they cannot be held re-
sponsible for the failure of the pro-
ject to succeed
For number Of years the manage
ment has complained that one week is
too short time in which to hold the
fair, because exhibitors cannot be in
duccd to go to the expense of elaborate
exhibits for so short period. In a
belief that the board of managers, IL
I given the opportunity, would be able
to provide and conduct a better fair,
and one that would justify period of
two weeks, the people of Columbus
agreed to make good a possible loss.
Only to the extent of being mistaken
in its faith in the ability of the board,
is Columbus responsible.
4 The truth is that the board of man.
ayers of the state fair have all along
been endeavoring to conduct state
exposition on the line of county fair,
and county fair, too, of a quarter or
a half century ago. To lay this trou.
BILE at the door of Columbus is ridic,l-
lous, not to say ungrateful. Columbus
had no share whatever In the manage
ment of the institution. She had no
voice in it whntever. She was told
to do certain things and asked to do
certain others, but she had no voice in
the arrangements farther than to dc
what she was told. She put up her
money and receives abuse for her
thanks.
The failure of the attempt to have
lla. successful exposition demonstrates
beyond question that the right men
are not Oh the Mate board If Ohio is
to have worthy exposition let there
be placed on the board men who know
how to run an exposition. Let the bus.
mess men of the state be represented
on It, and let the management be in the
hands of men of broad views and wide
experience in the handling of large af.
fairs.

AT REST.

At rest
Folded hands across his breast;
In the rest that was desired
BY his murmured: 'I am tired"
Not shadow on his face,
Where a smile has left It's trace
As though Death his marble lips
Touched with tender fingertips.
And we wonder II the peace
Which his form encompasseth
Is the glory Of his life.
Or the majesty Of death.
And from all the land there comes,
AS the requiems grandly surge,
With the lit of mufiled drums,
Signing strains of Sorrows dirge,
Aye! A nations heart is rent
In the greatness Of Its throhs.
See the Gate of Grief unpent;
Hear n stricken nations sobs!
At rest
With his hands prone on his breast
Weary bands, that rest today
From their pointing out the way;
Weary har d., that wrought for peace
Hands that badc the warfare cease
Weary hands-as white and fair
AS the waxen lilies there,
Though his soul has journeyed on,
Still--there is the coming dawn,
And the Sorrow of today
Bringeth Hope with her alway.
Who can sing good mans deeds?
Who can sing good mans worth
When his wisdom planted seeds
That have bloomed DER all the
earth,
When his wondrous mind and hand
Have achieved results sublime?
They--a monument will stand
That endureth for all time,
At rest
Quiet hands across his breast.
And the West shall bring her rose,
And the South her lilies white,
And the daisies Of the North
Be the stars in Sorrows night,
Aye, the West shall bring her rose
And the East her violet,
And the garland of them all
With a nations tears be wet.

So passed clean and loyal soul,
The right he ever kept In view,
And pressed breast.forward to the

This was n man--so loved, SO wise!
And when his splendid race was run
In simple faith he closed his eyes:

The family consisted of the father. mother

fugitives. and were supported In this by
their superiors. The Stephans determined
on this account. to divide, SO as to avoid
suspicion.
With her baby, Mrs. Stephan departed nv
one road and reached Smyrna in safety.
Her husband mad arranged to meet her
there. but had said that in case Of his fail
ure to do SO she should sail across to
Athens, whence they would depart for
America. When her husband failed to
