With all the natural advantages pos
sessed by Colorado. and Mt the close Of
busy and prosperous season, the ex-
hibition at Pueblo this year should cas-
lily excel anything yet accomplished In
the state. While nothing Is being left
undone by the board of directors, Colo
radnns should still remember that the
equipment of the fair. its Importance
and usefulness depend upon the inter
est Of the public and the cordial par
ticipation Of the farmers. stockmen and
other producers In every locality.
To all these the fair will afford ex-
ceptional opportunities in the way Of
purchase and sale as well as the ex-
animation and comparison Of exhibits.

nounce unusually comprehensive. can

IOWA DEMOCRATS REAFFIRM
THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM

Gus by vote of 30 to 81 to member
ship on the committee. while the reso.
lution presented by X. S. Murphy or
Dubuque, the leader of the silver
forces. endorsing the Kansas City
platform In the First district, was de-
featcd by n vote of "a to 40.
The majority report ignored national
issues entirely, combining itself exciu-
siyely to state matters. The first MI
nority report agreed with the majority
report, except in preamble which re-
affirmed the Kansas City platform.
The second minority report offered
from each of the Others In Its pre-
amble, which set out that state issues
were paramount In this campaign. The
minority report reaffirming the Kansas
City platform was adopted on the cnli
of roll by counties. amid much con-
fusion, by G6gl. to 55OH.
Following Is the text of the plat
form:
1--WE, the Democrats of Iowa. in con-
yention assembled. hereby reaiIirm the
principles OF the Democratic platform
adopted at Kansas City In 1900. and
without surrendering our convictions
or abating our loyalty to our national
policies, we believe this campaign TO
be particularly one that should be con.
fined to state issues.
"Resolved, that the fundamental
principles Of Democracy, equal rights
to all and special privileges 10 none
applies TO the subject of taxntion. The
Democratic party believes that the
burden OF taxation should he borne
equally by all taxable property subject
to the Jurisdiction of the state"
The remainder of the platform refers
to state issues. 80

Family Prayers mt the Jenkinses..


a Harlem woman recently decided
that family prayers were really neces-

young son Johnnie. Air. Jenkins. nom

see the necessity, but, of course, yield
ed to his wife. The next morning aft
er breakfast the Jenkinses assembled
in the sitting room with a feeling of
suppressed excitement st the novel pro-
ceedings. After the Scriptural reading
they knelt beside long sofa, Mr.. Jen-
kins at one end, Mrs. Jenkins at the
other and Johnnie in the middle. Then
Mr.. Jenkins offered up n prayer inyok-
ing the divine presence.
Jenkins prayer was long and fervent.
After it had continued for five minutes
Johnnie got restless, decided it was too
monotonous and interrupted in his thin.

Fishing Hooks.

Fishing hooks are as old as Adam.
made of stone, bone, thorns and any
old thing, not to mention deer horn and
boars' tusks. The bronze hook of the
bronze age was succeeded by the hook
of iron. The aborigines of Colombia
used gold hooks. while the ancient peo-
pie of Peru made theirs Of copper. The
bronze hook of today is considered an
expensive luxury. For years the most
important seat of fishhook manufac-
ture was Limerick, Ireland, but the
once popular Limerick has been super
seeded by several styles of American
make that are not only much cheaper,
but are not inferior. AS for our fine
ROOSEVELT, we have them from two
and one-half ounces up to ten pounds.

wild Zebraa.

The zebra when wild is a ferocious
animal, and an unwary hunter is likely
to suffer from its teeth and hoofs. The
author of "KlOof and Karroo" says that
Boer in Cape Colony had once forced
a zebra to the brink of a precipice.
when the desperate creature turned up
on him, attacked him with its teeth and
actually tore one of his feet from the
leg.
Another author writes of Il soldier
who mounted n half domesticated re
bra. The creature. after making the
most furious attempts to get rid of its
rider, plunged over a steep bank into
the river and threw the soldier as 1t
emerged.
While the man lay half stunned upon
the ground the zebra quietly walked up
to him and bit off one of his ears.

Irving and the Imprecntion


Irving was always severely accurate.
Shortly before he put on the Merchant
Of Venice he inquired of a brother
actor if he could supply some stage
business" for the part of Shylock.
The actor being, like Shylock. a Jew,
thought he might and asked Irving
how he meant to do the ''imprecation
scene" which occurs upon Shylock dis
covering that Jessica has fed with
Lorenzo and the jewelry of her late
mother, Mrs. Shylock.
Irving knelt, held his hands prayer
like and rehearsed the terrible impreca-
ton, Il would my daughter were dead
at my feet and the jewels in her ears" >
Upon the actors saying he was
wrong, Irving rejoined that he had fol
lowed the stage direction in the book,
and that all the best Shylocks so did it,
as the Keans, Brooke, Fechter and
Phelps.
yes" said the actor, but they were
all Christians. A Jew in imprecating
never kneels, but stands upright, pass
ing his open hand over his face"
Irving adopted the hint.
Soon afterward a we'll known London
solicitor, also a Jew, who had seen the
new version, told the actor IN question
that he had not before been aware that
Irving was lone of us" and he refused
to believe the contrary.-Ledger Month
