A DISTINGUISHED SIDE SHOW.

Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota is
a mild-mannered and obrging man,
but after a recent incident, in which
he was the central figure, he remarked
with sincere feeling:
It's a long worm that has no turn
ing, and it's about time to turn when |
am made a side-show feature"
He visited the state fairgrounds,
and entered a restaurant with his
secretary, searching for a hasty lunch.
The governor was recognized, and
shown all possible attention, but as
he was about to begin eating. he was
surprised to hear the barker" out
side the tent shout, as he swung the
dinner-bell vigorously:
step right this way to get your
nice warm lunch. Only chance you
may ever have to see the governor OF
Minnesota eat. He is just sitting
down TO the table, and he can't get
through for half an hour Plenty OF
time to watch the whole performance
and shake his hand when he gets
through. Come right in and watch
him feed, and it won't cost you one
cent extra, as long as you order the
regular bill of fare"
In a few minutes the tent was crowd
ed, and the blushing governor and his
fidgety secretary had to grin and bear
it, until they could obtain their pur.
posely delayed orders, and show the
crowd how the chief executive fed

to connection with reputable house
and his excellent assumption of sim

that the goods were being put out in
this manner merely for the purpose
of introduction and that the money
was taken from the druggist only as
an evidence OF good faith, resulted in
his drawing quite profitable business
until he reached West Liberty. But
here his luck turned. E. M. Phillips

HAY FEVER TOXIN FOUND.
Prof. Dunbar, Of Germany, Explains
Cause of Dread Disease and
Its Treatment.

Prof. w. P. Dunbar, of Germany, who
has produced a serum for the cure. OF nay
fever, has arrived in America on his way
to the ST. Louis exposition, where he will
take charge of the German government
exhibit relating to- hay fever and its
cure.
He began to work on hay fever about
ten years ago, taking up that disease be-
cause he himself was subject to 1t. The
disease is not a germ complaint" he said.
1T is caused by the chemical action OF
certain kinds of pollen. In Europe rye
grass makes the most trouble. Here in
the United States the dangerous plants
are golden rod and rag weed. Indian
corn is also dangerous, though not to
SO great degree. The hay fever sea-
son begins in August, just when the
pellen is flying"
cat first scientists thought that all
these pollens carried minute barbs,
which set up local. irritation But 1
found that while this is true of golden
rod, for example, it is not true OF In
dian corn, which gives OFF perfectly
smooth pollens. So by a tendious pro-
cess Of elimination and analysis To-
Gated the trouble in albumen. With
these poisonous albumens completed
my experiments. A solution Of the sub
stance dropped into the eye of a person
subject to hay fever produces all the
symptoms at any time of the year. There
Is enough of 1t in one grain Of rye grass
| pollen to infect 4,8e00OO hay fever pa
tents. The wind carries the pollen wide
| ly, hundreds of miles, in fact.
MY remedy is toxin prepared Like
other toxins, by injection poisonous mat
ter into horses. In this part of my work
found curious thing. Only 10 pei
cent Of the horses we, tried are sound
and those sensitive horses were all thor.
oughbreds. A horse has to receive
steady injections for ten months before
its condition will yield the proper
strength of serum. If this serum is mixet
with albumenous poison and put init
the eye of the person subject to the dis
ease there will be no hay fever reaction
