Greatest Fair In ,hc wor,,

The town OF Mini Novgorod is about
2I4 miles east OF Moscow by rail. and II
you are travelling i'm Russia during the
summer you will find II au easy matter
to pay visit TO the greatest fair i'm the
world. The rates Of fare are quite low.
special excursion tickets being issued
ut reduced prices during the progress
or the fair. but you must not expect the
comforts of journey by rail that you
find ut home.
No easy running sleeping car In which
TO nap away-tle night. no Pullman in
which TO lounge during tie day, but
uncomfortable seats upon which you
must curl ZIP for slumber rs best you
may. AS for the cost of the journey.
the prices OF the excursion tickets men
toned were as follows last year: st.
Petersburg via Moscow and return.
oO.oO rubles first class (a ruble is about
u cents). $500 rubles second class and
2i.2O rubles third class. Some idea OF
the railroad traffic incidental to the
fair may be gained when IL Is stated
that at times the number OF people
within the fair grounds Is 100000.
The business done is very great. Ac-
cording-to the returns OF 1899, goods to
the value OF more than 1T3. O00.O ru-

A TIP That Was Give, on = Decision
by Justice Harlan.
a good story is told of the clever
manner In Which Justice Harlan man.
aged to give tip ON the insular de-
cision to his golf friend, Solicitor Gen
eral Richards. About an hour before
the court met on the day the decisions
were handed down Justice Harlan
walked into Mr.. Richards Office Mt the
department of justice. He said he was
on his way to the court.
''Some important business today 2,
remarked the solicitor general.
Say" replied the big justice, "did
you ever hear the story of the calf and
the knothole down in Kentucky"
Mr.. Richards confessed he had never
heard Ii, but would be pleased to listen.
Well said Justice Harlan, pausing
to take another chew of tobacco, two
men were going along by COW pen
one day, and they saw calf's tail
sticking out toward them through n
knothole in the fence. That is won
derful thing said one of the men. Il
don't see anything wonderful about it
replied the other. It's nothing but q
calf's tail sticking through q knothole.'
well, SIR persisted the other. Il have
travelled all over the world, and I've
never seen a more wonderful thing
than that What In the deuce is so
wonderful about itY asked his friend.
What Is wonderful about it? What is
wonderful? 1t Is this: How in the
name Of the great horn spoon did that
calf get through that knotholeP"
Justice Harlan had a good laugh at
his own story, and as he went away TO
the capitol the solicitor general turned
to his assistant and remarked:
THE court is for the government.
and Justice Harlan is In the dissent"
While Justice Brown was reading the
decision of the court In the De Lima
case, in which the government lost on
n minor point, Justice Harlan kept his
eye on Solicitor General Richards.
There was merry twinkle in il. FL
nally he called n page and sent a note
down to his golf companion. who was
sitting soberly at bar. The note read:
NOW you see the calf's tail"
At this the face OF the solicitor gem
eral frightened little. and he went
out into the lobby and told afternoon
correspondents they would make a
mistake If they sent out reports to the
effect that the government had lost the
case. When he returned to the court
room, Justice ErOTn was reading the
majority cp'n:oa II the famous Downes
case. Justice Earlan's eyes were still
twinklinS. In few moments, before
Justice Brown had reached the pith of
his decision. another nets came down
from the bench to the now happy solic-
itor general. II read:

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter IN the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain

feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and

the aches and pains cease.

This was finally bent 50 that it could

Several keys we're found lying around
the corridors and these were passed into
