bargaining farmer.
When the country fairs are In progress single
rigs and double teams. great omnibuses. with
from four to eight horses hitched TO them, drive
from the cities to spend the afternoon in sight

and the farmer smiles and takes the money OF the
city man. and. when he gets time opens the sleeve
of his blue jean Jumper and laughs In it. Ten or
fifteen miles Is uncommon distance for city
people TO drive 20 attend a country fair
THIS average length OF the country fairs is three

Bridgeport. Conn, Oct. IL tspeciaD.-This Is the
season OF the festive country fair 1t Is now at
Its height. and before the last frosts OF October
have finished painting the maple leaves crimson
every farming section OF the State will have held
its fair and added page or so Of history TO its
agricultural diary.
The country fairs Of Connecticut open about the
last week in September and end the last week OIL
October. They the outdoor assembages or the
tfers of the soil-farmers' autumn conventions
where they meet and display their crops. their
livestock and compare notes and gain knowledge
for use during the coming years. Take away these
country fairs and part of the life of the farmer
which makes him ambitious to surpass others
would be eliminated, for there is the keenest KIND
Of good natured rivalry among Connecticut farm
ers to Guido the other In showing crops and i've
stock. But for the spirit of competition these HI
tie fairs among the tillers OF the SOIL the
quality of the livestock raised In Connecticut would
not be nearly high 1t is. This is admitted by
all cattlemen.
The country fairs do not depend on the farmers
entirely for their support The city folk take as
great interest In fairs their rural brothers
DO, but not the Same sort of interest, perhaps.

HE CAUGHT THE HOUSE.
A Yell of Applause mt "A Critical
Point In IA Play.


Edward Harrigan once said that the
most trying moment In his theatrical
career occurred In New Orleans soon
after the civil war He had gone
south with his company and, yielding
somewhat to popular request, put on
1.-THE Blue and the Gray" The play
had been success UP north, but down
south. with the air stll full of the bit
terness of the war, 1t was dangerous
experiment. Tony Hart was to repre-
sent the Confederate gray, SO he hunt
ed up n uniform of the Louisiana II
gers and when he came marching on,
young, stalwart, handsome, the typical
soldier boy III the beloved uniform, the
house, men and women, cheered and
shouted and cried for all their heroes
embodied in this boy. Harrigan, stand
Ing In the wings In his northern blue,
waiting to go on, had Just one thought
They'll kill mel" Then he stepped
out, the embodiment of the enemy, and
Il cold, dead silence fell upon the house.
Not hand moved for him. The audi
ence was tense with emotion, and there
was only an instant to act If the play
was to be saved. Ilarrlgan, big, kind
ly, good looking, came swiftly down
TO the front and stepped over the foot
light gutter, leaning down to them.
For tho love of heaven, won't you
give the Yankee hand2" he exclaim-
ed. At once the house was caught and
all the pcnt up feeling turned the right
way. There was yell OF applause.
