Character In the Hat.

''Does the hat reveal character" said
an observant person whose speciality Is
character reading. "Of course it does.
"The man whose hat fits him exact
ly and is set square and straight on his
head is ne-rly always an orderly, de-
liberate man, regular in his habits, but
very often commonplace as regards
mental attachments.
Men Of large mental powers, think
ers and philosophers. affect hats trifie
too large for them. They are men Of
large ideas, and their big hats will Of
ten be found in conjunction with loose,
easy fitting clothes, for in this, as in
other matters, the body reflects the
mind.
II distrust equally the man who
wears his hat at the back of his head
and he who habitually goes about with
it tilted to one side. The first is Of
candid, easy going type, but apt to be
Eighty; the latter, with disposition
for sport and frolic, Is at the same
time often frivolous and cozreited.
Neither of them, however, will be a
coxcomb, like the man whose hat is too
small for him, nor deep and crafty,
like the wearer Of hat which is al
ways pulled down over the eyes"

Merchants Order Stocks Here.
Northwest Iowa Buyers Association Meets
at the Garretson.

Northwest Iowa Buyers Association Meets
at the Garretson.
Ten prominent merchants of north
west Iowa, composing the Northwest
Iowa Buyers association, arrived in
the city yesterday morning for ten
days session with the representatives
of eastern wholesale houses for the
purpose of buying their summer stock
of goods. They have taken up quar-
tiers at the Garretson hotel.
The assOcia ton has been in existence
for three years, and was organized for
the mutual benefit of its members who
desire to have an opportunity to buy
ing their goods from the very best
lines The association held its sessions
for two years in Des Moines, but has
changed this year to Sioux City for
the reason that it Is more central
point for them, and offers Just as good
facilities for the transaction of their
business.
The following merchants compose
the party: j. F. Russell, Audubon;
f. A. Lusk, of Lusk & Davis, Ida
Grove; E. f. Broders, of Broders &
Tagge, Hartley; f. l.. Tiede, Belmond;
j. o. Birdsall, Spencer; L. N. Haskins,
of l.. w. Foster & Co, Harlan; A. M.
Foster, of Foster & Foster, Storm Lake;
A. NJ. johnson, Spirit Lake; G. M.
Kirby, of the Ringgold Mercantile
company, Mt. Ayr; f. A. Fehlman,
Glidden.
A large number of the knights of the
grip are in Sioux City especially to
meet these buyers, and will exhibit
their lines according to q schedule
provided by the buyers association.
"This method of buying" said ]. o.
Birdsall, of Spencer, at the Hotel
Garretson last evening, sis far more
satisfactory to us than waiting for the
men to come to see us, and we get the
benefit of seeing far better lines than
would be brought to our towns. We
plan to have nice social time at these
meetings, notwithstanding the fact
that we do lots of business.
"Sioux City is more centrally
located for us than Des Moines, and
we shall probably continue to come to
Sioux City in succeeding years."-

Danger In Poi.ons

1t is lamentable that neither repeated
warning nor sad experience seems to
have the desired effect of making the
ordinary person cautious in the use of
poisons. In the last few days three
children have died presumably from
taking poison that was carelessly left
within their reach. One would suppose
that. ouch accidents would by this time
have become almost impossible, yet
they are constantly recurring with a
frequency that demands further warn
ing. If parents would learn, to keep
poisons in place where they could not
be reached bye others there would be
fewer accidents.
It is the old principle of familiarity
breeding contempt. 1t cannot be too
strongly impressed upon every one that
the only immunity from danger is
through constant care and precaution.
It is 2 lesson that needs to be impressed
upon every individual without excep-

Agricultural Association Meets.

The Executive Committee and the
members who have the guardian
ship for the association from the,
various townships met last Satur-
day to look after the business for
the coming year. They found the
affairs of the association in better
shape than ever before tor several
years and feel that the past few
years have been successful. With
out outside assistance they now
have floral hall IN good shape, a
new speed barn, a new cattle barn
and many other conveniences, of
which the association as a whole
may well be proud. AS the rain of
the last day of the fair prevented an
election all the old officers held
over. John Weighton had resigned
as secretary and Ben Train was
elected in his place. Mr.. Train has
served as assistant secretary for
several years and knows well the
details of the work and will make a
good man in the place.
The board authorized the execu-
tive committee to construct a new
amphitheater as the old one has be-
come dangerous and too small to
accommodate the crowd. The new
one will cost in the neighborhood
of 5000 90. The grounds were leased
to the Audubon Driving Aseo-
citation with the distinct under
standing that the driving assoc
citation is to hold race meet July
4th and the proceeds to go to the fair
association. This insures that the
grounds will be in good hands and
they will receive good returns on
the rent of the same. All are pla n
ming a better fair than ever this
year.

An Old English super.titiou.

Attention has been called to the sur
vival Of folklore in rural parts Of Eng
land by evidence given in a stabbing
case tried at the Essex assizes. To
quicken the healing of the wounds, the
knife with which they were inflicted
was smeared with grease and laid on
the bed Of the patient. The purpose
served by the application of grease or
oil to the knife or to any steel instru-
ment that has inflicted wounds is to
prevent it from rusting, for if the steel
is, allowed. to become rusty the wound
is supposed to be affected and Tester
ing and modification follow the prog
ress Of the rust. Another quaint be-
lief is that the application of an oiled
knife is a certain and quick remedy
for scalds and burns.
