officers. Live stock, grain, poultry,
farm products of all sorts. fancy work.
etc. will be in full display, while the
horse exhibit and racing features will
be very attractive.

and for two good and sufficient reasons.
He will see many things well worth
seeing which will be helpful to him IN
his business; and he will contribute to
the success OF the enterprise. 1t is
too much to expect that the first fair
will be profitable to the association
finacially, but the society was organic
ed for benit of the farmers, and they
should show their appreciation by
their patronage.
Mrs. G. G. Tobey, superintendent of
the department OF kitchen products,
urges the ladies to send in for exhibit
tien specimens of their cookery: breads,
cakes, pies, etc., that there may be a
good showing. She says there are
scores of fine cooks in this city and
vicinity, who should be represented.
to addition to the printed list prizes
will be given for outset cake and
DEVILS food. Anything brought in OF
that sort will enter the competition.

A Remarkable record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. It has been used
for over thirty years. during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. It has long been the
standard and main reliance in the
treatment of Group in thousands OF
homes, yet during all this time NO
case has ever been reported to the
manufacturers in which it failed to
effect cure. When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse or even as
soon as the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is pleasant
to take, many children like it, 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confident
ly to a baby as to an adult. For sale

Searching parties have been looking
for her ever since Thursday and these
were augmented Saturday by the

advanced as to the inability to find
her.-St. Cloud Times.

Not Disappofnted.

Stephen L. was entered in the race
for the $4,000 purse at the state fair in
which there were thirty one entries
and about twenty starters. In draw
ing for position Stephen L. drew 18th
place, outside in the second row. Mr..
Henderson says that with the drawing
all hope of winning was at an end. He
had the hardest place in the bunch.
His horse would have to trot three or
four minutes faster than the more for
tunate ones. AS it was he took the po-
sitions of third, fourth and fifth in the
three heats. He is satisfied that Steph-
en- L. made as good actual time as any
horse in the race. The race was won
in 2:12t. Stephen L. was entered in a
race for $1,000 purse and took second
money-$250, the winner making 2:15.
Mr.. Henderson is quite satisfied with
the result considering the disadvan.

A TRUE HELPMATE.

She was not fair, and yet she stood
A shining mark of womanhood.
She was not talented, forsooth,
shed been toiler from her youth.
Upon the wondrous stage of life
She played the part of farmers wife,
And, be it said, with loving art
she always acted we'll her part.
Her education was not such
AS comes from keeping close in touch
With art and music, latest books;
But ah! the fond maternal looks
She lavished on her girls and boys
Than college gifts were sweeter joys;
And. be it said of her, she e'er
Bore brave her martyrdom Of care.
Her life was lowly as the sod,
And yet she hand In hand with God
Walked through this vale Of tears and
woe.
And now that winter sleet and snow
Lies drifted DER her grave, I'd write
This epitaph for marble white:
Through sun and storm adown Life's
road
She always shouldered half the load''

CHAPTER TX.

Sorely puzzled as Blake had been
by the discovery, he had been able
on the long homeward march
walking until in sight of Frayne
and safety, then galloping ahead on
the corporal's horse-to think it out,
as he said, in several ways. Miss
Flower had frequently ridden up the
valley and visited the Indian village
across the Platte. Miss Flower
might easily have dropped that note,
and some squaw, picking it up, had
surrendered it to the first red man
who demanded it, such being the do
nestle discipline of the savage. The
Indian kept it, as he would any other
treasure troye for which he had no
use, in hopes of reward for it's re-
turn, said Blake. 1t was queer, of
course, that the Indian in whose
pouch it was found should have been
so fluent a speaker of English, yet
many a Sioux knew enough of our
tongue to swear volubly and talk ten
words of vengeance to come. There
were several ways, as Blake rea-

ITO Be Continued
A MATERNAL COLLIE.
Remarkable Intelligence Displayed
by a Scottish Shepherds
Clever Dog.

Giles, the shepherd of Folly farm,
was brushing the white ruff of his
$1,000 collie. "The collie" he told the
Philadelphia Record, sis the most in
teresting of dogs. Permit me to tell
you a true collie story. There was a
Scottish shepherd, whose dog gave
birth to a litter of pups. All but one
of them died and the mother devoted
herself so thoroughly to this sole re-
naming child that her masters work
was quite neglected-the sheep were
not looked after at all. The man, en-
ragged at this state of affairs, took
the pup and drowned it in q bucket
before it's mothers eyes. Then he
went off to the town for the day. In
the evening, on his return, the
drowned pup was missing. The shep-
herd said to his collie, pointing to
the bucket: "What did you do with
your pup, Bess?" The collie gave a
low, mournful howl and set off, look
ing backward often to signify to her
master that he should follow. She led
him to a knoll and paused, moaning,
beside a spot where the earth had a
fresh look. The shepherd turned up
the soil, and there beneath it the
drowned puppy lay. Its mother had
taken it out of the bucket and given
it a decent burial.'

pened it that the captain got so far
ahead of him? There was no keepin'
up with the captain. He was on his
Jig, raw-boned race horse, chasin'
three Indians that was firm, and had
hit Meisner, but there was still three
of the troop to follow him, and the
captain ordered 'come ahead" until
all of sudden, as they filed round
little knoll the three Indians they'd
been chasin' turned about and let
'em have it, and down went another
horse, and Corporal Feeney was killed

Indians in every direction, comm

All this, told with much gasping on
his part, and heard with much bias
phemy by Kennedy, brought the
strangely assorted pair at a swift
gallop over the springy turf back
along the line of that panicky, yet
most natural retreat. Twice would
the big fellow have broken away and
again spurred for home, but the little
gamecock held him savagely to his
work, and so, together, at last they
neared the curtaining ridge. "Now,

out your carbine and play you're a
man till we see what's in front! an
if we play false, the first shot from
this barker" with slap at the butt
of his Springfield, "goes through your

And this was what they saw as, to-
gether, they rounded the hillock and
came in view of the low ground be-
beyond.
Halfway down the long, gradual
slope, in a shallow little dip, possibly
an old buffalo wallow, two or three
horses were sprawled and a tiny
tongue of flame and blue smoke
splitting over the broad, brown backs
told that some one, at least, was on
the alert and defensive. Out on the

The Lnzv's DELAYS
BY JUSTICE BIsCHoFF,
Of the New York Supreme Court,

1t is true, that there is more or less de.
lay in the administration of the law, which
appears to procrastinate, so that the time
elapsing between crime and its punishment
seems at times needlessly prolonged, but
this is not the fault of the law, or its admin
istration, so much as it is the result of con-
ditions which surround the gradual evolution
of our great judicial system.
The demands upon the courts are too
great for system planned to accommodate
scarcely half the business now presented, and
making no elastic provision for enlarged re-
quirements. 1t is but right and just and in
the administration of criminal law the pun
ishnent should follow speedily, with all due
caution and protection to the accused, the ac-
conpEshment of the crime.
But it does not follow, because of this
Ice, that the system is wrong, or that mob rule
that there is justification at any time for assas-
punishment for crime. 1t is but a voice that
