California, however, has the world beaten for fruits generally. Her ex- hibit is simply magnifeent-grand be- yond our ability to describe. Luscious punches of grapes larger than the ordi. nary washstand pitcher, grand pears Of magnificent size and mouth ateTing color. peaches, plQms, prunes, figs how delicious they appear-oranges, lemons, all the fruits indigenous to that latitude and longitude. The different states and territories participating in this exhibit have made extensive pre- parations by putting large quantities Of fruit in cold storage in St. Louis and elsewhere, 30 that they are able to keep the exhibit fresh and sound at alltimes IL was only at the Arkansas section that VIC were able to procure an apple to eat. Here our little party were treat. cd to a fine specimen of the Arkansas product of the Winesap, and it was certainly delicious and refreshing.
 Horticultural machinery is shown in the implement room.
 Fifty acres of horticultural exhibits surround Agricultural and Horticultu. ral palaces CD Agricultural Hill. The exhibits are made by the leading uur- serymen and seedsmen of the country. and cover a large variety of trees. plants, flowers and bulbs. There are planted in this area over r, ,00O roses and 10000 bulbs. Lakes for aquatic plants cover more than two acres, and contain the rarest and most beautiful specimens in existence. Cut flower displays are shown in competitive con tests in season on tables in the main building, and they are most exquisite sight.

The EXAMPLE OF PRESCOTT.

I Asst WEEK occurred the auniver-
l. -ary az the birth OF William II.
Prescott, the greatest American his
torian But it is not of Prescous lit
erary labors. great though they were,
thar we desire TO speak. More inter
estiuE is the story Of his battle with
the misf0rUuues that came into his boy
hood and that cl0uded his entire life.
When Prescott was in his junior year
al Harvard. a fellow student threw a
hard piece of bread at him. Tt struck
him seuarely I'm the left eye and de-
struyed tt Instantly
This was in 1913 and it seemed that
The career the young man mad mapped
out for himself must Cons 10 am
abrupt end. The only one IN PrescOits
circle who did not despair was Pres
colt himself He was even lishtaeaIted
over a calamity that woII5 have driven
many men into chronic pesslm.an- AT
the close OF his college course me en-
tered his fathers law office AMI 0egan
hard study I'm 1915 his right eye was
attacked by am obscure ailm=nJ and
for many months ne was absolutely
blind Gradually q glimmsr of light
returned 10 him and, though lie was
Warmed against the OEer-uae cf.- lis
eve. he would not give up his work.
From that time until His death i'm
1853 me fought his mdrmity ANA Gid
more work and better work shan a
laree majority of the man whose vision
is unimpaircd Think Of Prescott writ
ing great volumes of history such as

OF Peru" Ferdinand and Isabella,
and numerous other authoritative h's-

TO keep his pen on the paper and pre-
vent the lines from running together
What lesson there IS iu this for those
who fail TO make the best use of tie
precious Sits the Almighty has givsa
them
Nobody could have blamed Prescott
If DE had gone Through life a useless,
complaining, fretful invalid. Tt was
not necessary for him 90 work for a
livelihood, he had not the incentive of
hunger or the desire 60 provide well
for his family TO push him ou. Tic

SHOOT As A euEssER,


Senator Smoot. among his other
numerous occupations has adopted the
political prophecy business as a side
line Tie says Indiana is no longer a
doubtful state and that Senator Fair
banks, the prospective nominee for
vice president, is 10 be chosen from
the H06sier state as ROaseVclt.s rum
ming mate. What he says about Sem
ator Fairbanks may be true, but his
Judgment as to the political status Of
Indiana isn't worth much more than his
sometime declaration that the election
of Reed Smoot to the United States
senate would not make any trouble
for him or for Utah
Sow ar 90 the facts about Indiana;
with am exceptionally strong Republi-
can state administration i'm power,
municipal elections were held i'm all the
cities 81 the state last Tuesday, except
these u hich have special charters The
result showed surprising Democratic
gains ain over the state with the cX-
ception of TQTre Haute. In Crawfords-
Vile. EobIesvlle and Warsaw the
Democrats elected the mayors for the
first time I'm the history of those muni-
cipiIities. C0nnsgsvile chose a Demo-
cratic mayor for the first time lin many
years: Rushvile. a Republican strong
hold. elected Democrat; Anderson,
another Republican centre. went Demo
cratic, and South Bend reelected her
Democratic mayor by an increased ma
jority
Municipal elections I'm Indiana otter
a reasonably fair indication of the
political drift. and this years results
are TO exception. ON the face Of the
returns. the Republicans have lost
heavily since the last election and che
state is just as doubtful as it ever
was. Indeed. one of the strong argu-
meuts used in behalf of senator Fair
banks nomination is that it viii help
the Republicans i'm a close state.
II Senator Smo0t can't guess any
better as to- the outcome of his case in
the senate than he has in the Indiana
case. some of his friends would better
begin to hedge ON his chance of hold
iug on TO his toga, He has evidently
never seen am Indiana election i'm q
presidential year when Tom TaggaFl
was busy and the brethren from the
river bottoms were getting the crops
I'm early so they could enjoy the pleas
ures of a go1d, hot campaign.
Senator SmoOt may be good author
ity on beet sugar culture or missions in
the South Sea islands. but he ought To
knew Better than 10 think amy party
has q cinch i'm Indiana. Even old Bill
Gowdy got fooled on that when he
managed the campaign for Ben Haru-
son in 's-, and Bill was about as
smooth a politician as ever wore chin

COMPANY TO sE PROUD OF.


OUR REPUBLICAN friends Cught to
u be proud of the company they are
keeping these days IN an account of
the Kentucky Republican convention
held recently to nominate delegates to
the national convention the Louisville
C0urier-Journal gives this incident in
the ballotiug that resulted in The c.ec-
ton of a negro, Underwood; BIS dele
gate.
Before the calling began on en-
thusiaEtic champion of -iI'iefW cod
y0cifer0usly called for recognition, and
after the chairman succeeded in restOr-
ing order, the speaker suggested that
Underwood stand up oct dc COW. n
ton could see what kin of q lookin'
Niger dey WIS asked TO vote fer
Mr.. GeFkes impatieHtly raped for
order, and the voting pro zee led.
Another amusing incident was tne
challenging Of the Lee county vote by
one of its cOlOred contingent. II he
county was voted sohI!y for a caTdi-
date, when the challenger -umpe! TO
his feet and said: a challenges dat
vote Use q member o. dat GillosG tion,
an I knows / don't want tC vote FOR
dat man.
Tt is apparent that the negroes took
d rather prominent part in the conven-
tiCn. a fact that rec0nciles us to the
further fact that practically all the
negroes i'm the country belong to the
Republican party. For our part we can
get along without them very nicely.
thank you. even il President Roosevelt
has encouraged them TO believe that
some day they viii be received on
terms of perfect social equality by the
white people of the nation.

The next morning, which was Christ

get some things for breakfast and /
did. and we ate our breakfast and sat
and talked for while, Then she said
she would go and get some things and
We would have a nice dinner, as il was
20 be our last together.
She was gone about fifteen minutes
and returned with things for dinner,
some candy and nuts for the baby and
pint of whisky. We ate our dinner
and drank the whisky.
Then she said she wanted 10 90
out to see the Coudie woman
about something. I think it was about
some clothes but when she returned
she had nothing and said she wasn't at
home. Then she asked me again if I
was going to keep my word, and / said
yes.
Then she asked me 20 let's go 10 bed.
She commenced 10 undress and told me
TO. and ] did. took the revolver out
of my hip pocket and put it on the pill
low.
We got in bed and talked for a while
LAYING facing each other. She was about
the middle Of the bed and I was ON the
north side. laying ON my left side, her
laying on het right side.

SOFTCORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere,
The springs of red blood are
1oand in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
lre full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
