COMPLAINT WE'LL BASED.
How Virginia Woman Oyercame q
Domestic Difficulty.

bright society matrOn remarked, some
body accuses me of making it up, but it
is a true story nevertheless.
I'D in the Virginia mountains this
summer David and / took a long walk
10 explore the wild country road near
orr hotel Way up on the rough mount
ain side was a little cabin, and as /
have a most feryent human interest in
the home life of all peoples remote from
cities proposed that we visit the cab
in, with the wayfarers' usual preteXt-
TO ask for q drink Of water.
On the one room of the small house
were the usual furnishings, a few
chairs, many dogs lying about, guns on
the wall. a high bed in each corner and
a hOmely table spread with homaly
crockery in the center of the household
picture. \ plain little woman, worn
and aged, but very neat in calico frock
and Bingham apron, met US at the door
and asked us in, while one of the rough
boys lounging on the porch was dis
patched to the spring for fresh water.
INSTEAD of the usual mountaineers
open fireplace, with iron crane and ket-
ties, was a surprising arrangement of
cooking stove mounted ON a kitchen
table. My glance reverted to this curl
Gus sight so often that our mountain
hostess seemed constrained to explain
"'You uns amt used to SEEM cook
stoves fixed up that-a-away, 1 reckon
she said alphabetically. Pap, he got
Their cook stove down in town way las
May, and he didn't think bout the
stoyepipe, an he didn't git huff to
reach up to that there hole in the chin
bly,, so we uns jes h'isted ther cook stove
up on that there table till he gifts time
to 60 to town an git some more stove
pipe 'Tain't handy to climb up on a
cheer to cook, an l wish to the land
papd hurry hisself an git to town arter
that there stoyepipe. It'd be a heap
handler to hey that there cook stove
down on the grou'.'
"Of course I'VE uns' agreed with the
good woman that the complaint was
well based, but we praised her clever
ness and originality in utilizing the
kitchen table. Probably not one wom-
an in ten million would have ever sug-
gested that way out of the domestic
difficulty. "-Detroit Free Press.

EVERYTHING POINTS TO "A
SUCCESSFUL STATE FAIR
People Will be Called Upon to Help
Take Care Of the Great Crowd
of Expected Visitors.

DIR. 7. b. Gum, secretary of the State
Fair commission, went to Salem, Oregon,
on Sunday to be present on Monday at
the opening of the Oregon State Fair.
He will remain there till about Thurs
day when he will return home. The
main object OF DR.. Gums visit is to
make arrangements with the pure blood
cattle raisers of that state to come to
the fair at this place. While it had been
planned for such exhibitors to be here
all the details of their coming had not
been looked after. The other things he
will look after are horses that will be
here to run in the sweeptsake races.
After the event at Salem the horses will
be taken to Portland and thence to this
place From here they go to Spokane,
Lewiston and Boise, closing the North
Pacific Fair circuit season for 1902 at
the latter place on October 20-25.
There are twice as many attractions
on the grounds thisyea as there were last.
All the space along the south entrance
way from the rear of the superintendent
residence to the pavilion will be occupied
by shows of different kinds, and all that
space on the east side of the pavilion
will be crowded more than on previous
wears. Considerable more space will be
required for the exhibition OF live stock,
which will be double that OF any pre-
vious year, and as for the pavilion it
will be full and overfiowing with the
products of this valley and from other
parts of the state.
w. b. Kibler has secured concession
to exhibit patent pump on the grounds.
In this connection he will place one of
his new pumps in the old well under
the grandstand to be left there perma-
nently for the use OF the fair. This will
he great improvement over the old
method of drawing the water from the
well by means OF bucket.
The matter OF accommodating the
people is being looked after by COM
mittee of citizens who will visit each
residence to ascertain the number OF
rooms that can be secured from this
source. There is expected to be an un-
usually large attendance this year and
