Lowell ana Bret Harte.

Bret Harte, flushed with first fame,
was Mr.. Howells' guest for a week
in the early seventies. Harte's breezy
Bohemianism delighted Cambridge and
its environs, which quite as thoroughly
amused the young Californian journal
list.
1t was fine to see him humorously ac-
cepting the humorous attribution Of
scientific sympathies from Agassiz in
compliment of his famous epic describ-
ing the incidents that "broke up the
society upon the Stanislaus." 1t was
a little fearsome to hear him frankly
owning to Lowell his dislike for some
thing overliterary in the phrasing of
certain verses of "The Cathedral" But
Lowell could stand that sort of thing
from a man who could say the sort of
things that Harte said to him of that
delicious line picturing the bobolink as
he
Runs down brook of laughter in the air.
That, Harte told him, was the line
he liked best of all his lines, and Low
ell smoked, well content with the
praise. Yet they were not men to get
on well together, Lowell having limita-
tons in directions where Harte had
none.-Harper's.

A Bargain for Farmers.

The New York Tribune Farmer, a
national illustrated agricultural week
ly OF twenty large pages. has no SUI
perior as a thoroughly practical and
helpful publication for the farmer and
every member of his family, AID the
publishers are determined to give it a
circulation uuequaled by any paper of
it's class in the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising,
up-to-date farmer always reads his
own local weekly newspaper, The
New York Tribune Farmes has made
an exceedingly liberal arrangement
which enables US to offer the two pa
pe's at so low price that no farmer
can afford to lose the opportunity.
The price of The New York Tribune
Farmer is $I.oo a year and THE
HARTFORD REPUBLICAN Is 81 90 a
year, but both papers will be sent for
a lull year If you forward $I25 to
The REPUBLICAN, Hartford, KY.
Send your name and address to The
New York Tribune Farmer, New
York City. and specimen copy OF
that raDer will be mailed to you.

California. Long sections of these
trees will be shown in the outdoor
forestry exhibit
DR.. Bean, in recent talk with an
officer of the association, appeared
anxious to have Kentucky to include
in her space in his department the
medicinal plants of the State and
the seeds from the various trees. He
also wants mounted specimens Of
fish and game shown and, in this con.
nection, 1t may be mentioned that the
association is endeavoring to get the
Polytechnic Society of Louisville to
let it have it's wonderful collection Of
native Kentucky bird skins now in it's
possession. This collection was made
by Mr.. Charles Wickliffe Beckham,
a relative of Governor J. G. w. Beck
ham. at the time connected with the
Smithsonian Institute at Washington.
There are three thousands specimens
in the collection, showing the differ
ence in plumage especially.
Kentuckians will be interested In
knowing that DR.. Bean has assigned
John j. Tully of Louisville, a space
twenty by twenty-one feet for a dis
play of his handmade fish nets, etc.
Dr. Bean wants Mr.. Tully to give all
the life possible to this exhibit and
has invited him to manufacture the
fish nets In the space allotted to him.

resources, but the Building Commit
tee, at a meeting early this month,
decided to abandon the plan of having
this map and to give the space in a
more effective way to the displays
mentioned. These exhibits will prob
ably pierce the light-well of the sec
ond floor. II has also been suggested,
and may be mentioned in this con-
nection, that the heroic groups, to
stand on either side of the front en-
trance, be chiseled out of Kentucky
channel coal. The building, being
perfectly white, these groups, in their
blackness, as dark as night, would
certainly attract attention.
At each corner of the first floor
there will be a small room which.

second floor are three rooms, so ar
ranged as to be thrown into one large
banqueting hall when desired. A
small space on the third floor will be
reserved as a serving room, with
communication with the first and Sec
ond floors by a dumb waiter. The
third floor has been made as open
as possible to connect with the outer
galleries, formed of the roofs of tho
porches. The roof above the third
fioor-the main roof-will also be &C.
cessible, and will give the visitor one

Patti and William

The story of Adelina PATHS first en-
counter with Emperor William 1. is
worth repeating. 1t was at Homburg
that the meeting took place, and the
diva was then quite a young girl. On
the evening Of the same day an invi-
tation came to her and her father to
meet his imperial majesty next morn
ing at the springs at o'clock.
Il get up at that hour" cried the
spoiled child, ito please any emperor?
No, no! l wouldn't think of It! Tell
him SOL
William l., ever good natured, laugh
ed heartily over her ultimatum, which
greatly amused him. The last time
his majesty saw Patti was in Berlir
and he was then a dying man. When
she called upon him at his box he well
coined her with his most genial smile.

burg! But you don't mind waiting

PLANS ARE MATURING.
Forestry Exhibit From Kentucky at
Exposition Will Be Very
Elaborate.

No more attractive exhibit at the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis is to be
made of Kentucby's products and re-
sources than that in the Palace of
Forestry, Fish and Game. In this
building. as we'll as in all others on
the exposition grounds where Ken
lucky is to have a part, the associa-
ton has been looked upon with favor
by the chief of the department. Ken
tucky's forestry space is on two of
the main aisles of the building and al
most in the center, between the two
chief entrances. Mr.. A. ~ Struck,
of Louisville, the chairman of the
committee, and Mr.. William Boa, the
field representative thereof, have for
counsel and assistance in their work
the following well-known gentlemen:
Clarence r. Mengel. Girard Alexan-
der, Cecil Erasier, Gen. John B. Cas-
tleman and Ernest Kettig, OF Louis
Vile. The forestry exhibit from Ken
lucky, representing seventy-odd diff
ferent varieties Of commercial tim
bers, will be made as rustic in ap-
pearance as possible. A twelve-foot
partition is to separate Kentucky
from her neighbor, and on this parti-
ton will be displayed all the products
of forestry with sixinch sections
from logs. It was first suggested by
DR.. Tarleton H. Bean, the Chief OF
the Department of Forestry for the
Exposition, that the timber display
be made in eight-foot sections. so
cut as to show all the grains of the
wood. To utilize space, however, it
has been determined to show only six

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
