Big Poultry Show Next.

A quality show-that is what the
Lewis and Clark Poultry Show will be.
The show opens on October and will
continue until October 70, inclusive.
There are 1000 birds entered, and
every one of these is worthy a prize.
"The poultrymen look upon the show
as very fine exhibition" said Secre-
tary Hunt, "aud have entered only
chickens that they think will stand an
excellent chance to win. The result is
that ms far as qualify goes the show
will far excel anything of the kind
ever held in the west. The pigeon
show.-there are 200 pigeons entered
will be bigger and of higher quality
than any other ever held west of the
Mississippi river"
A majority OF the entries are from
western states, as prohibitive express
rates spoiled plans for heavy entries
from some of the eastern states. There
are, however, a few eastern entries, and
the birds exhibited by western fanciers
will be great surprise to visitors from
the east. Four Light Brahmas will be
brought al the way from Shelton,
Conn. They are entered by c. 2. Net
tleton, we'll known eastern fancier.
Eight Rose Comb Brown Leghorns are
entered by Fred Alger of Waukau,
| Wis, and one Blue Andalusian hen,
the only bird of the breed to be ex-
hibited, is entered by r. S. LaMaster
of Campbellsburg, Ky,
Pierce county, Washington, leads off
as the largest exhibitor at the show,
with a total of 235 entries. OF these
w. r. Seers will exhibit 80 White Ply
mouth Rocks and Fred A, johnson "
birds representing nine varieties. Tho
largest exhibit of one variety will be
that of the HaZelwood Farm Company
of Spokane, which has entered 80 White
Plymouth Rocks.
The Pacific Coast Pigeon Fancier's
Federation Of Oakland, Cal, has en-
tered 50 pigeons, aud included in this
, assortment is one imported pair of the
, Blue Runt variety valued at $3.50

The Old Story.

pathetic beyond description" says
an exchange, sis the message left by a
young man in Indiana who committed
suicide. Don't leave the old farm was
his dying admonition." :"
Since he was young man and COM
mitted suicide he was probably men
tally weak in other respects, too, but he
certainly lacked logic. Interpreting
his message literally he reasoned thus;
left the old farm aud failed so miser-
ably that l am about to kill myself;
therefore all young men raised ON a
farm should stay their lives.
What he should have said is: "Young
meu, if there is room for you to stay
on the old farm, and you are needed
there, or if you can get another farm,
and If you can probably succeed as a
farmer, and unless you are pretty con-
fident that you can succeed better in a
town or in some other calling and that
YOU can be industrious, temperate and
honest, then you had better stay Oh the
old farmer better still, get or make u
new one" This is probably what the
young man meant.
By no means all the young men raised
in the country should stay on the ole
farms where they were raised, nor Oh
farms at all, because many OF then

. Pascal, who Disraeli called the
greatest of Frenchmen, from birth
till death suffered from nervous
troubles. At one year of age he fell
into languor, during which he
could not see water without mani
Testing great outbursts of passion,
and, still more peculiar, he could
not bear to see his father and moth
er near each other. In 1927 he had
paralysis from his waist down, 30
that he could not walk without
crutches. This condition continued
three months. During his last hours
he was taken with terrible convul-
sions, in which he died. The autop-
sy showed peculiarities. His crani-
um appeared to have no suture un-
less perhaps the lambdoid or ssgit-
tai. A large quantity of the brain
substance was very much condensed.
Opposite the ventricles there were
two impressions as OF finger in

clotted and decayed blood, and there

Very Dear at tho Price.

Queen Caroline, the wife of
George H., seriously thinking of
closing st. James park, in London,
and turning it into garden for the
palace, asked Sir Robert Walpole
what it would cost to do SO. "a tri-
fie, madam; only trife," replied
the minister. "a trifle?" rejoined
her majesty. 81 know it must be
pretty expensive, but can't you tell
me as nearly as you can guess ?" To
which Sir Robert answered, "Why,
madam, / believe the whole thing
will cost but three crowns" The
queen had sense enough to see Wal
poles allusion to the crowns of Eng
lang, Scotland and Ireland and said
at once that she would abandon the
notion.

back just as he was leaving the din

up, replied in a tone loud enough
for all to hear: "No, sir, l won't

Tho Value Of the clsaales.

Evangelicism as reflected in the
letters of our ancestors was pecu-
liarly icy and Of kind to freeze up
the high spirits Of young people.
In 1850 a devoted mother wrote
to her boy, after he had gone to a
preparatory school "to fit for col
lege," and said:
IL am glad you are reading Plato
and Herodotus. Communing with
the dead, you will learn how to die"
Thatawas the worldliest sentiment
in this letter to boy of fifteen, ex-
cept an injunction not to squander
his monthly allowance of So Gin
foolish purchases of sweets and
trivial knickknacks."

SEAT LOST BY 1ELEeA
Why Representative Wallace Was N
Returned to Congress.

"After Morse had invented th'
telegraph" said General Lew Wal
lace when he told the story, "h,
wanted congress to appropriate $50,
600 to build an experimental lin,
from Washington to Baltimore. Th,
matter created a great deal of dis
cussion. Morse was sncercd at ant
jeered at, and many thought him in
sane. My father was member o.
congress at that tlmc, and he wa.
one of the committee to which tho
question of the appropriation wa.
referred.
when the committee met, my
father was watching the experiment
OF telegraphing from the house to
the senate. Wires had been stretched
and the inventors were operating
the instruments. My father saw
them work. He sent messages and
received replies. Then he went to
his committee room and found the
committee in session. They had Just
voted on the appropriation, and
their vote was tie. lie cast his
vote in its favor, and this caused
the appropriation to go through.
The result was the first telegraph
line in the world.
Strange to say, that vote lost
my father his seat in congress-" con-
tinued General Wallace. "Thirty
thousand dollars was then big
sum, and this vote became one of
the issues Of the next congressional
campaign. Father was charged with
wasting the peoples money, and his
opponent ridiculcd him on the
stump by referring to his magnet
leo, electrico, telegraphic appropria-
tion which no one could explain
He even asked father to explain it,
but at that time he could not do SO,
although he said it would be OF
great benefit to the country. The
people thought differently, and the
result was his defeat" ."-Harper's.

siam,a Eiahtina Fish.

Fish fighting is a most popular
sport in Siam. The two fish, train
ed from the age of six months to
fight, are placed in large glass bot
tie. 1t is most curious to note each
fish's attitude when it becomes
aware of Its adyersary's presence in
the bottle. Swelling with rage and
pride, they sail around the narrow
space, pretending not to notice each
other, until suddenly one fish makes
savage dart at its unwelcome com
panion, biting its fins and body.
The fight continues until the referee
sees that the issue is no longer in
doubt, when the contest is stopped.

or the Water Cart.

Falling off the water wagon is easy.
but being knocked off is different.
Now, the driver Of a sprinkling cart
is surely on the water wagon if any
one is. and it was the driver of such
a vehicle that trolley car knocked off
the other morning. The water wagon
was on the car tracks going in the
same direction as the car. The car ran
into the wet end Of the cart and there
was something doing.
First, off went the driver. Then the
motorman got an unexpected bath. To
dodge the shower from the sprinkler he

Natives of the northeast coast Of
Scotland observe curious custom at
funerals. After the burial service the
coffin is carried outside the house and
placed upon the two chairs on which
it had rested within doors. AS soon as
the pallbearers lift up their burden
and begin their journey to the grave
yard these chairs are at once thrown
sharply on their backs. In this posi-
ton they are kept until the interment
has taken place, when they are taken
indoors again. Any attempt to place
the chairs ON their legs or to take them
in before the proper time is at once
frustrated by the relatives of the dead.
