deavor to beat the Minnesota cream
cry men. The result will be the
greatest butter contest ever held in
this country.
The dairy department is in charge
of A. w. TrOw, one of the best
known butter men in the country, and
the premiums and conditions ur-
rounding butter exhibits and compe-
tition, have been revised SO that but
ter makers will have even wider OPP
portunities than before.

divided off the territory in the

prizes. The lucky women who
secure these prizes will have all
their expenses to St. Louis and
return and at the fair paid for
them. There will undoubtedly
be some contestants from this
part of the state, and nomina-
tions should be sent in at once.

ART IN TELLING A STORY.
How Ignatius Donnelly Turned an An-
 ecdOte to Good Account.

q once saw the art of successful storytelling exemplified in very prominent way" said Senator Foster of Washington few days ago in q company of friends. During one of our political campaigns speaker had undertaken to tell story that was in tended to bear upon Ignatius Donnel- ly, who was opposing him. The story was told laboriously, and it was re- ceived with all the solemnity that would be expected during funeral sermon. At its conclusion the story, teller smiled and looked over the au. dience to see if he could detect rip pie of appreciation, but there they all sat with solemn faces. It had fallen perfectly flat.
 "In short time MT. Donnelly arose to reply and referred to the story that had been told by his opponent.
 ""rhat story he said, was intend ed to reflect on me, but it didn't go. Now, my friends he continued, I have a little story want to tell you.'
 with that Donnelly retold the story that had fallen fiat. It seemed to me at the time that he repeated it word for word, but from the time he began the story until it was ended the au- dience was convulsed. It was pro- nounced to be the best story that had ever come out of the Northwest"
 "Tell us the story, Senator," one of his friends suggested, becoming curi- ous to know more of that narrative, once funereal in its effect and then laden with the spirit of wit.
 "Oh, mo-" replied the Senator. q have not sufficient confidence in my storytelling ability. Now that have prepared you for the story as a re- markable one it would be doubly haz- ardous to attempt to repeat it."
 Senator Fosters friends are willing to offer a reward for that story, either dead with fiatness or alive with wit, if anyone can deliver it to them. They are being consumed with curiosity to know what it is, but the Senator can not be induced to venture upon it's telling.-WashingtO Star.

An Obituary Mixed.

Edward L. Adams, representing the United States as Consul General at Stockholm, Sweden, was for several years editor of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. While occupying that position he wrote an obituary notice of a neighbours child, whose trousers had caught fire during a Fourth of July eel Sbration, burning the little fellow so badly that he died in consequence. MT. Adams ended his article with the state ment that the sympathies of friends would go out to the bereaved parents. His shock next day may possibly be imagined when the types made him say that "the sympathies of large circle of friends will go out to the burned pants."

DOG AS GOLD DIsCOvERER.
Story Told of the Mongrel Pet of Two
 Nevada Miners,

Story Told of the Mongrel Pet of Two
 Nevada Miners.
 Thinking that their dog was chasing mountain lion or some other wild beast, H. Roth and b. A. Montgomery two miners from Nye County, Nevada, seized their guns and followed until they saw the dog come to stop at tie top of great boulder, says the San Francisco Bulletin The animal was making no attempt to discover the lost trail, but was standing rigid on the rock, his nose pointing in the air. As soon as his masters arrived he wagged his tail, parked once or twice and dis appeared in the underbrush.
 Surprised at the behavior of the animal, the two men began an investi- gation and soon discovered that the rock was the outcropping of rich ledge of ore, containing gold and silver. Measurements of the body were taken, and it was learned that the mine was forty.two feet wide and extended in visible line for over 2,25O feet. An assay of the ore was made and it was found to run from $S to $126 per ton.
 The ledge is situated in Nye County, seventy-five miles from Tonopah and twenty-five miles east of Downievi!le, the famous old mining camp which employed hundreds of men in the days of the pioneers. It is in well-traveled part of the country and many old miners have prospected in that region, but it remained for dog to discover the hidden gold.
 The animal is common mongrel, without pedigree, and is a cross be- tween a collie and half-breed bird dog. He was given to the men by sheep herder, whom they knew, but Mr. Roth says that he is not for sale.
 Roth and his partner have been pros pecting together for some time and have a small claim near Tonopah. Roth was formerly jeweler, and it was he who paid the expenses of the two, as Montmorency was without funds. Their outfit consists of few blankets, tent, cooking utensils, pro- visions, burro and dog. The men say that the dog is an absolute neces- sity, as without him one cannot hops to discover golden ledge.

Difficult Horseback Feat.

There are no better horsemen in the world than the cavalry officers of the Italian army, yet even among them there are very few who could perform the feat recently achieved by one of them.
 To run an ordinary foot race is easy enough, but to run at full speed for several hundred yards holding in one hand a spoon on which rests an egg and to reach the goal without dropping the egg is feat which must be prac- ticed carefully long time before it can be performed successfully, and as a result there are not many who can be sure of accomplishing it whenever they try. Great, therefore, was the surprise when an Italian officer mount ed on horseback performed this diffi- cult feat Moreover, he selected a course in which there were two or three high fences, and these he cleared at full gallop without losing the egg.
