GEOGRAPHICAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Those Which Depend Altogether Up
ON Being Located in the Same
NeighbOrhOOd.

A true friend, of course, is one
though it be, is not essential to the
continuance of the relation, says the
Weeks Progress. Such one we meet
after ten years separation with as
little awkwardness as if we had parted
yesterday. We need not even write
to each other, except as we desire to
know the facts of daily progress or
retrogression and satisfy our pride in
the others achievements or express
our verbal sympathy over his disap-
pointments. Such friendships are few,
one or two for every man or woman
who is capable of deep feeling, and
that is usually all But there is a
larger minor grade of friendships that
are based upon propinquity. The man
we chum with because we go to the
same college, or travel with on the
same train or boat, or stop with at the
same hotel, or sit near in the same
office, or chat with at the same club be-
longs to this geographical class. Some
one of him may become deeper
friend, but as rule our relation with
him depends entirely upon certain
common interests, business, social or
Intellectual, and does not extend be-
yond the qualification or the desire to
talk to or merely be some one who will
not jar That desire, truly, is the foun-
dation of all the common human in
terrelatiOnS: without it. social rela-
tons would be purely sporadic.

UNLUCKY ROYAL NAMES.
That of Peter Has Been Particularly
Conspicuous for Bringing
Misfortune.

The Christian name of Peter has never
been fashionable among royalties. This
country has never had monarch bap
tized as Peter, and in other countries the
Peters have been unlucky, says the Lon
don Chronicle. Peter, or Pedro l., en-
peror of Brazil, abdicated after an I'M
easy reign, and his son, Pedro H., was
driven to Europe by a revolution, and
died in Paris in 1891. Pedro, the Cruel,
of CASTLE and Leon, was slain by his
brother in single combat Peter the
Great, of Russia, was guilty OF frightful
excuses; his grandson, Peter H., reign
ed only three years. and died of smallpox
at the age of Is. Peter III. was de-
thFoned and strangled by conspirators.
Peter l., of Servia has already brutal
massacre behind him. John is another
name avoided by royalties. We had
only one John, and the experience was
unhappy. In Scotland such was the pop
ular repugnance to the name that when
the son of Robert H. assembled the
throne he changed his name from John
to Robert. Few of the Jameses died in
their beds, and the alteration to Charles
was not successful experiment. Ed
ward, George, William and Henry have,
on the whole, been fortunate names for
our sovereigns to bear

THE MINNESOTA
STATE FAIR.
Unrivalled Attractions Will Make
This Years Show Grander
and Better Than Ever
"Dan Patch" the Worlds Famous
PAGER Will be There and Try
to Lower His Record.

When the Minnesota State Fair of
1902 closed it's gates after the most
successful week in it's history, it
seemed impossible that such record
of success could ever again be
equalled. Unparalleled in attendance,
receipts. premiums offered and paid,
livestock exhibited, farm machinery
displayed, agricultural products ex-
hibited, race entries, amusement fea-
lures, manufacturing eXhibits-the
fair of 1902 eclipsed all other state
fairs either in Minnesota or in any
part of the country.
But notwithstanding the remark
able record of last year it is entirely
within the bounds of probability that
the Minnesota State Fair of 1903,
which opens on August 31st, will far
excel in every department it's wonder
full predecessor.
One of the evidences of the growth
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1903-08-26

and strength of the Minnesota Fair
is found In the fact that for the Ma
tional Live Stock exhibitions this year
there will be more cattle entered than
ever before. The officers OF the Am
erican Hereford Breeders Association
and the American Short Horn Breed
ers' Association state that interest in
the great exhibition and sales at the
Minnesota State Fair rs more pro-
nounced than ever and that there will
be a very choice lot of animals on
view and for sale at auction. In fact
the 100 head of Hereford cattle for the
auction of that class of animals, were
entered with the secretary Of the
association as early as May list of this
year. This is quite different from the
first year of the sale when it was i'm
possible to find rs head of HerefOrds
to be offered for sale. Breeders are
now anxious to have their cattle ex-
hibited and placed for sale before
northwestern farmers.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1903-08-26

The races are the main part of the
afternoon program each day OF the
fair and the enormous entry list in
sures very satisfactory amusement
program during the afternoon. For
the evening, the principal feature each
night will be PAINS Fire Works Spec
tacle, the Destruction of Rome. This
is the largest and most complete open
air spectacle ever put on at any place
at any time in the world.
To accommodate this show a special
train is used and it travels from place
to place exactly as does a circus.
Many carloads of scenery will be
brought to the State Fair and the
properties, animals and people come
with the train to produce the great
spectacle. This feature occupies a
large part of each evening during the
fair week but will be supplemented by
other attractions such as racing by
electric light, Schreyer's sensational
bicycle performance and other vaude-
vile attractions.

has erected. at a cost of $4,000, an
enormous agricultural machinery ex-

any time The building itself, is about
$50 feet long and every foot of space
on it's floor has already been assigned
to exhibitors. Clustering about it, and
in fact spreading all over the north
eastern part of the fair grounds, will
be numerous exhibits in tents, booths,
temporary buildings and permanent
pavilions erected by machinery man.

same region will be great number
of open air exhibits of thresher-en-

wind-mills, stackers and other classes
of machinery which cannot be shown

An evidence of the popularity and
reputation OF the Minnesota State Fair
is in the enormous entry list made
this year for the races during fair
week. Last year when the race entry
list for the fair of 1902 was made pub
lie, it was pronounced by the highest
sporting authorities the largest list
and the best collection of horses ever
made UP for western racing meet
and quite the equal of the eastern
grand circuit lists of that year. 1t
was generally thought that such list
could not be again gotten together.
