His Admirable Veracftv.

Once a number of kindred spirits
were enjoying a supper in the land of
Burns. When the cloth was removed
and the usual toasts were proposed
some one suggested a song. The
efforts of the first Scotchman met with
such a hearty reception that others
were induced to follow his example.
In the end it was found that every
one had contributed to the evenings
entertainment but the medical gentle
man who occupied the vice chair.
"Come, come, DR.. Macdonald, :"
said the chairman, "we cannot let YOU
escape"
The doctor protested he could not
sing.
g AS matter of fact, he explained,
my voice is altogether unmusical,
and resembles the sound caused by
the act of rubbing brick along the
panels of a door,
The company attributed this to the
DOCTORS modesty. Good singers, he
was reminded, always needed lot of
pressing.
Very well,' said the doctor, eff
you can stand it, I will sing"
Long before he had finished his all
dience was uneasy. The unwilling
singer had faithfully described his
voice.
There was a painful silence as the
doctor sat down, broken at length by
the voice of Draw Scot at the end of
the table.
"Mon," he exclaimed, "you singin IS
no up to much, but your veracity's
just awful. Ye're RIGHT ABBOTT that
brick. ''-Tit-Bits.

Minnesota State Fair Premium List, just

Minnesota State Fair Premium List, just
Published. Shows Wonderful Offerings
The Book an Attractive One.
In the issue of the premium list of
the Minnesota State Fair of 1904 the
management has departed from the
usual hackneyed form and has pro-
duced an artistic and very attractive
little book. It is larger than has been
used for some years and is bound in
silk fibre cloth of blue color with a
very handsome design stamped in blue
of a darker shade on the front covor.
Within, the paper and type are good
and the arrangement clear and con-
else.
Besides getting out a creditable
book the officers of the State Fair
have improved the list in other ways.
The entire offerings of premiums have
been revised carefully. In every de-
partment Of the fair additions have
been made and in all several thou
sands of dollars have been added to
the total. With increased purses in
the racing program the entire prize
offerings of the Minnesota State Fair
this year will reach the enormous
sum Of $4,000.
The new premium list shows that
the national exhibitions of the Ameri-
can Shorthorn Breeders Association
and the America Hereford Breeders
Association will be again held in con-
nection with the Minnesota State Fair
and that the popular auction sales of
CATTLE of these breeds will be a fea-
ture.
The introduction also states that the
popular night programs will be con-
tinued and that the new manufacture
ers' building will be completed in time
for the opening of the fair. This
building will be l20x160 feet in size,
entirely proof and a very hand
some and creditable structure in every
way.
Half-fare rates to the next fair have
already been assured by the railroads.
Copies of the premium list may be
obtained by addressing Sec. E. w.

Somewhat Surprising.

"John,' remarked Mrs. Bifkins,
coldly, at the breakfast table, "you
were saying some rather queer things
in your sleep last night. You men
toned something about Kittie and a
full house and a showdown and few
other things along that line. What
were you talking about?''
Did Mr.. Bifkins tell his wife that
Kittie was the name of the woman who
cleaned out the Office and that he was
probably dreaming about the full
house down at the show the other
night? The funny papers would have
you believe that he did: But he did
not. '@ -=---e----s -
II was probably dreaming of the
poker game I sat in that night, = he
replied without batting an eye. IT lost
$37.15 in that game, by the way, so
can't let you have that Sl9.98 for that
spring hat for a couple of weeks.''
Did Mrs. Bifkins scream and burst
into tears and call him brute and go
right straight back to her mother:
The comic writer's and the jokesmiths
would have you think she did But
she didn't.
You must be bum pokerist,
John," she said scornfully; II don It
believe you know a straight-up from
four flush. I believe I could give
you three kings and beat you to the
jackpot myself. What did you think
you were doing digging post holes or
playing ping pong?-Smart Set.

A Plea for More Sociabilitv.

Here is something from the pen of
Pease of the Anoka Union that is all
right and will apply to Princeton and
many other places: ''Holy gee, I
wish the people of Anoka could meet
in social intercourse much more than
they do, and it is a great pity they
can't. Recently a social club was or
agnized just for fun, of a few mem
bers, and from the first nights meet
ing, surprises have occurred, at the
ability, the affability, the good fellow
ship manifested. The membership
have learned to love and appreciate
each other, and every member is striv-
ing to make the other members happy,
and doing all they can to please. It
is delightful atmosphere to bask in
and has opened my eyes to some
things. We don't know each other in
Anoka. We don't know the ability of
the people. We don't know what a
splendid lot of folks make this town
their home. We don't know how many
hearts are yearning for companion
ship and acquaintanceship. Bring
them together socially, and you will
be surprised. It will result in knowing
each other better. It will result in
friendships being cemented that will
last until life ends. It will bring out
talent that has been hidden. It will
make life happier, pleasanter and bet

But the days news brought reports. of rains in the corn belt and predictions of more for to-morrow. The rise in the Rock Island issues are alleged to be due to the good corn prospects.
