SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS.


The greatest drawing card among the
special attractions was Baader & La
Vale, the bicycle whirlwinds. These
tricksters were we'll worth witnessing
and gave daily performances Mamma
T. Boedker of Chicago, held forth in
the art hall with fine display of Nor
wegian articles which found ready sale
among the crowds each day The tert
shows were not particularly high class,
but probably were valuable, inasmuch
as they furnished diversity of amuse-
ment to the pleasure seekers. Bert
Morphy, the man who sipgs to beat
the band, failed to put In his appear
ance as advertised His failure was
through no fault OF the society, how
ever. The fair officials are to be
congratulated for the fact that fakirs
were not allowed on the grounds, to
tighten the unsuspecting of his burden
of shekels.
BALL GAMES.
ON Thursday afternoon Viroquas s
ball team attempted to play the La.
Crosse leaguers, champions this year,
and last also, of the Wisconsin state
league. As could hardly be otherwise
expected there was nothing to 1t" 80
far as our boys having a show for the
game, but nevertheless after recovering
from a bad attack of buck fever" at
the start, they played good ball.
Friday afternoon Viroqua and Cash
ton mines battled for supremacy Rain
caused an abrupt ending when the game
had been but half played. Viroqua
was in the lead, having FIVE scores 20
Cashton's four and was given the game.
The visitors started in at fierce clip
and succeeded in landing four scores
the first inning. In the next four times
at the bat they were blanked each time
Viroqus got one score in the first and
four in the second, but in the next two
failed to do anything. Schneiberg OF
La Crosse league team, pitched for the
locals and Fox for Casnton. Both were
warmed up for battle royal when the
falling d2mpness compelled all TO scam

packed by interested spectators who

FREE SEED QUESTION
Farmers in Every Section and Agricul' tural Publications Oppose lt- Resolutions are Passed De-
 nouncing the Practice.

Washington. D. C.. May 24.-Those members of the house of representa- tives who accepted the statements of Representatives Gaines of Tennessee and others that the farmers of rhe country. were demanding free seeds from paternalistic government are likely to learn to their cost that the intelligent farmers sepudiate their generosity and are inclined to look the gift horse' in the mouth most critically. Practically every agric'Il- tural periodical which has appeared since the house voted in favor of free seeds has denounced it's action in strong terms. The representatives who voted for free seeds are now be ing made the more uneasy by the re ceipt of resolutions adopted by the executive committee of the National Agricultural Press league. condemn ing the practice and maintaining that it is not approved "by self-respectinC farmers or farmers association" The committee met in St Louis. Mo, on May r and not only adopted resoln- tons but directed that they he sent to every senator and representative and to all agricultural papers. The resolutions adopted were as follows:
 Resolved. That the National Az ricultural Press league is opposed to the government distribution of free seeds except so far as it is necessary for experimental purposes in the in trOduction of new. rare and valuable seeds within the meaning of the orig inal' act authorizing seed distribution. The distribution of ordinary field vegetable and garden seeds as a gift from the government Is degenera- ton from the original purpose and Is poto approved. .iin principle or practire byistlfrespecting farmers or farr1ers' association throughout the country, and there is no more to be said in fa- vor of government seed distribution as at present conduct than there would be in favor of regular dis tribution to farmers or any other class of citizens of free beef. free sugar or free flour at the expense of the taxpayers of the country.
 Tt is directed that copy of this
 
 resolution he sent to all senators. members of congress. the United States agricultural department, agri- cultural papers and to others inter- ested."

"A RECKONING.

gYe who would reckon with England
We who would sweep the seas
OF the flag that Rodney nailed aloft
And Nelson flung to the breeze-
Count we'll your ships and your men.
Count we'll your horse and your guns
For they who reckon with England
Must reckon with England's sons
Ye who would challenge England
We who would break the might
OF the little isle in the foggy sea
And the lion-heart in the fight
Count well your horse and your swords.
Weigh well your valor and guns,
For they who ride against England
Must saber her million sons
We who would roll to warfare
Your hordes of peasants and slaves
TO crush the pride of an empire
And sink her fame in the waves
Test well your blood and your metal,
Count wei your troops and your guns,
For they who battle with England
Must war with. mothers sons.

INDIAN CHRISTMAS LEGEND
North American Indians Believe That
Deer Kneel to the Great Spirit
on That Night.

Howison's upper Canada" pub
lished in the early part of the century.
contains reference to belief among the
North American Indians, which IL
strangely similar to one OF our Chris
tian legends. We all know that the cat
tie. ION Christmas night, are said to
kneel in their stalls, but we are not
alone in that fancy. ThisitraHeler says:
When it was midnight, / walked out
and strolled in the woods near the house.
The moon had risen, and poured a flood
of light on the silent world below. The
motionless trees stretched their boughs
toward a cloudless sky, and the rustling
of a withered leaf or the distant howl of
IA wolf alone broke upon my ear.
IN was suddenly reused from de-
licious reverie- by observing dark OBJ
iect moving slowly and cautiously
among the trees. At first l fancied it
was a bear; but nearer inspection dis
covered an Indian on all fours.
For a moment l felt unwilling to
throw myself in his way, lest he should
ben meditating some sinister design
against me- However, on his waving
his hand, and putting his finger on his
lip, | approached him, and inquired what
he did there.
''Me watch to see the deer kneel," re-
piled he. "This is Christmas night, and
all the deer falbon their knees to the
Great Spirit, and look up!"

A PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER

One Of the most popular homes in
Washington and at the same time one
Of the simplest is that Of Mrs. Stanley
Brown, who was Mollie Garfield, daugh-
ter Of one Of the three martyred presi-
dents. Mrs. Brown is decidedly domes-
tic in her tastes, and has with her much
of the time her mother, Mrs. James A.
Garfield, now "a years Of age. Mrs.
Garfield has her permanent residence at
Mentor, Ohio, a suburb Of Cleveland,
but she rarely spends more than tho
spring and summer Of each year there.
She is deeply attached to Washington as
the scene Of her husband 3 triumphs,
and she finds the home Of her daughter
a pleasant one, in which she spends the
winter months, and such other time as
she may desire. Mrs. Garfield and her
children enjoy the income from fund
of $3.50, 900 which was realized by popu-
lar subscription Immediately after the
death Of President Garfield, and from

become you, the pleats stitched down
over the hips, and, if liked, piped with
red to the termination Of the pleats.
Another suggestion is to stitch them
with red silk, each one ending in a
point tab fashion, tiny red button
being sewn on at the. point. A hem.
will be the only necessary finish on the
bottom. And now, as to the bodice,
two suggestions are offered. The first,
to run the above skirt model welI above
the waist line in princess skirt effect,
making a full blouse Of linen color
lace, strapped with the goods, red
French knots appearing on all the
strapping, or to have deep all-over
lace yoke, met by swathed soft red
silk bodice, the tiniest Of boleros de-
pending from the yoke, supported there
by piped band Of the goods, falling
away from the fronts to display the
bodice and failing to reach the waist
line by couple Of inches. The
sleeves would be full, three-quarte1
length, and end in piped band cuffs
with little lace as finish. Either
model will become you and both are
smart. Elizabeth Lee.

PITTANCE FOR GIRLS

The average wage for working women
in England is only about $1.75 a week,
asserts recent magazine writer Of
that country. -
In some lines Of employment, such as
the Lancaster textile trades, wages may
run to So week; but the general av-
erage is reduced by the great number Of
the little skilled in other lines, who may
work one month in an envelope or pa
per bag factory, the next in carving
factory, or at preserving fruit.
After board and lodging are paid
there frequently remains only about 25
cents week with which to meet every
claim for dress and other requirements.
Even this pittance is not secure, be-
cause Of the custom that many employ
ers have of docking the workers at
every opportunity.
This is most often done under the
plea Of damaged machinery A girl
who earned So week had 81 cents de-
Quoted for the breaking Of shuttle
perhaps by no means her fault. In one
instance on record, $25 was collected
at rs cents head, in a room of 1OC
girls, for the breaking Of 62-cent
three-legged stool. |~
Disciplinary fines abound,' states
the writer, "and it is common knowl
