TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK?
Is Silence Golden or Is It Foolish
 and UnsOcial:

Is the old figure of d golden silence being washed away in the flood of twentieth century volubility? And is It right that it should be so washed away! We do not know the answers to these questions. Perhaps you, gea- tie reader, know and will tell. We dc know that there is good deal more talk in tie world than would have been considered strictly necessary by our forbears. If you don't believe this. go to the nearest library and ask to see the bound volumes of The Congression- al Record. You might also take along a certificate of sanity in case the libra rlan became alarmed at the request.
 The old timers used to tell the youth of the land to consider if what they were about to say Were not only true and tried but also necessary" The Idea held for quite a time that it was as repreheasible to waste words as to dissipate wealth
 Our old friend Montaiene, however had tender place ia his heart for the talker. He declared "The most nat ural and fruitful exercise of the mind is conversation, and find the use of it moro sweet tEan any other action in life.n
 Iii s5i<,e quarters members of the fem mine sex are credited with an indorse- ment of N-s. Montaisae's sentiment.
 Is it wise to talk much? Or is it fool ish? Is silence golden: Or is it unso- cial s:.zd therefore against civilization: What dc you think?-NeW York Tee gram.

 One day he received the czarina B comna3s!s to play before her at her summe;. resort and was told. on arriv- ing tlserc. that he would have to re- hearSe his programme three times be- fore the performance. He begged to know the reason for that. bat no ex- plauation was given him These were her na jcsty's orders. and he could only comply. Still. lis astonishment grew when he SAW during the three rehcar- s;ls all empty court carriage drawn by a pail, of horses slowly going back and forth in front of his orchestra.
 Throughout the final performance the mysterious act Nas explained. The eiaErcsS. having q sharp attack of gout. was obliged to recline in the carriag ge. her foot OF cushion. while the con- cert took place, ard the object of re- hearsal had been to aeeuston the horses to q full string band lest they should take fright and bolt with her
 At the end of the performance an cx- Hltcd dignitary Of the court bade Strauss follow him to q splendid grand piano. saying:
 NOW be good enough to play me all the newest Vienna music Although he was pretty fatigued by his three rehearsais and state perform ance. Strauss thought it eXpedient to comply. but after he had played con- tinuously for over an hour he stopped. saying. II presume that will be sufii- cient:'

him with a large bar of iron, infiicting an

1t mandates the State Fair and Flows Into
Every Nook and Corner of the
Big Show.
More Records Are Broken-The Legislature
Meets and Pronounccs the Fair
"Great Stuff"

Minneapolis Day at the state fair has
always been winner, and this afternoon
all signs pointed to something new in the
way of Minneapolis Day records, despite
the fact that this is only the second day
of the great fair.
The fair management said shortly after
noon to-day that there was no longer any
doubt but that this would be record
breaking Tuesday-the turnstiles already
| gave assurance of that.
| At noon the turnstile records showed
5000 more paid admissions than were
shown at the same hour Tuesday of last
| year.
Last year Minneapolis Day came Thurs
day. AS the outside attendance at the
fair is always larger the latter part OF the
week, and as yesterday drew very large
crowd owing to the presence of Mr.. Roose-
velt, some surprise was felt by the man
agement that the attendance was so large
to-day with the promise Of going clear
past the record of Tuesday a year ago and
possibly Of Thursday.
Minneapolis Day a year ago showed
42,284 paid admissions. The management
believes that the record for to-day when
all are in will equal or pass that figure.
Secretary Randall says that if the days
figures do go past those of year ago, the
record will be wonderful one and will
make it hard for any other day to come
up to 1t. The turnstiles kept up their

favored with better weather or a better
program than to-day. 1t has been an
ideal day, perfect for the enjoyment Of
all of the sights and perfect for sports.
The attendance during the morning was
slightly under that Of yesterday morning,
but the afternoon brought big crowds.
| The afternoon program included an exhi-
| bition of saddle horses on the half-mile
track and an exhibition of harness horses
an hour later. The exhibition Of light
| carriage teams was begun at $3.50.
The big event of the day was the 221
pace for the purse Of $4,000 offered by
Minneapolis business men. The field of
starters was large. The grand stand was
packed with an enthusiastic audience,
which cheered the winners. The 2:17 pace
closed the racing program of the after
| noon.
The Evening Program.
This evening the program will be as
follows:
Band concert.
Three races by Tolbert running COM
bination.
Running race, one-half mile heats.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The rural free de-
livery boxmakers' trust seems on the
point OF being knocked to pieces. An off,
cial of the postofice department said to-
day that, in all probability, Postmaster
General Smith would soon appoint another
committee to select additional boxes to
be used on rural free e-delivery routes. The
committee appointed last winter examined
ffty-siX boxes, all but about a dozen Of
which came clearly within the specifica-
tions of the department; but it arbitra-
rily selected fourteen of the boxes as
proper for rural free delivery use and
discarded all Of the rest. Since May
last the department has forbidden the de-
livery of mail to any person on a rural
route who was not provided with one of
the fourteen selected boxes provided,
however, such delivery might be made in
cases where the irregular box was con-
tracted for prior to May l.
This action of the department has en-
abled the favored fourteen manufacturers
to clear many thousands of dollars, and
it has been openly charged that the post
master general and Chief Machen of the
rural free delivery service are responsible
for the formation of what, to all intents
and purposes, is a boxmakers' trust
Great pressure has been brought to bear
by senators and members OF congress for
the appointment of another committee
that would recommend the adoption of all
boxes coming well within the require
ments OF the department, and several con-
gressmen, among them Mr.. Eddy of Min
nesota, have served notice that unless
something Of that kind is done they will
have congress investigate the boxmakers'
trust at the session next winter. with a
view to having all facts in connection
with the selection of the fourteen boxes
made public. What effect these threat t.
have had 1t is difficult to say; but it IS
fact, as already. state, that the depart

livery box which is admittedly superior

committee is appointed there will be a
