The writer's earliest recollectlons Of q

There WAS a time when these fairs We're
held for the purpose Of showing agrcul-
tural products stock, implements, the
llandiwork Of tho farmers household, In
fact. 1t was a multifarlous aggregation
OF all those things which made lrp the
old life of the country before we had
reached our present state OF refinement
and Twentieth century civilization.
Now the fairs have become modern.

devices calculated to assist tho unwary

now n day when we must spend money
to be happy, But have we gained IN any
essential AS we have parted from our
simpler life2 Scarcely.
TO DO sure, stock Ia shown at the fairs
In abundance. Finely groomed. hair
partel-In-tho-mIddle stock. Faultless In
type, beautiful In proportion, wonderful
specimens OF what skill Will do when well
directed. But one looks In vain for

But what large opportunities for dos
