REWARDS or THE COUNTRY.
Some of It's Advantages as Com.
 pared with the City.

To those who have tried the harsh experiences of the city, and in whose memories there fingers, perhaps as faint, idealized pictures, some vision of the old home in the country, the cry of Back to the farm!' represents hope, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The tendency to rush to the city ex- cites the amaZement even of the one who at an earlier day had answered the same call. The city offers to cer. tain mentality q reward more glitter ing than the country holds, political and social power of which the country had no knowledge. Nor does the coun- try need to regret this. It has its own rewards and they are better than gold. Moreover, the personal failure in the city is tragedy. Beggary haunts the crowded street. Vice beckons into the shadows.
 The city toiler, to rise above dead level where his fellows abide, has to be of extraordinary force of character; {; III bDpiiNatloh. uhlllluS III DeI- haps interruptions, and he must be at. tended by the goddess of good fortune. The usual life of the city laborer or wage earner is the barest. He cannot save money. There are few innocent pleasures upon which he can expend the little he may have to spare above the price of rent and bread. Even fresh air and the clear light of the sun are luXuries denied. He may look upon splendors, but have no part in them {; be aware of wealth, with small chance of attaining it.
 In the country there is no need to be rich in order to be independent. There is no limit to the sunlight and the pure air. There is no danger of starving. The smallest farmer, if he exercises thrift may live on food that the poor man in the city would dream about. The funny men of the news papers joke grimly concerning the long hours the farmer must work, although they themselves are drudges. It is only at certain seasons that he needs to work longer than the creature of wages sweating in the city, and he has the satisfaction of knowing that he is work ing for himself. No man, in city or country, lives by himself alone. Each must maintain relations toward the rest of the world. But there is no other man. rich or roor, who is so near ly his own master as the farmer.

"Why is it?" asked the thin man, that they are always spoken of as vested lnterests?' Why not coated in terests?"
 "They are," replied the fat man, but it's usually coat of whitewash. Of course that garment excltes unpleasant public discussion, so it's always cov- cred with cloak of responsibility"
 "How about trousers?" grinned the thin man.
 No difficulty there," said the fat man quickly. "Vested interests never lose control of the national pantry."- Judge.

What Did She Meant

A philanthropic person heard of a negro family that was reported in des- titute circumstances and, calling at their home, he found the report true. The family consisted of mother, son nearing manhood's estate, and two young children. The benevolent old gentleman, after hearing the mothers story, gave her oldest son $1 to get chicken for the Thanksgiving din ner, and took his departure.
 No sooner was he gone than the ne gress said to her son:
 "Sambo, you done gib me dat dollah and go get dat chicken in de natchral way"

The Girl He Left Behind.

There is public library in Baltimore / that has regulation by which any member wanting a particular book which is not "in'' can, by paying small sum, secure the next turn, and upon the books coming in the librarian . sends him a notification. In this con sBectiOn an attache of the library tells of an amusing incident. A member de- sired a copy of novel entitled "The Girl He Left Behind him." The book not being in, he made the customary deposit and in due. course received notification. This the members wife received-t0 her alarm, at first-fOr it read as follows: "Mr. Blank is inform. ed that The Girl He Left Behind Him ifs now in the library, and will be kept for him till Friday morning next Success Magazine. {

During the Record Race.

The dark-goggled, leather -jacketed chauffeur lowered his head like ram and chuckled with glee.
 "We are now going at 100 miles an hOur!" he shrieked.
 Great Hercules" gasped the novice at his side. Isn't there a chance of an accident?"
 "Fear not Don't you see that we carry emergency tires?"
 "I-I know, but I-I'd feel better if we had a few emergency arms and heads along.'
 But the chauffeur laughed demoniac- ally and turned the curve on one wheel.

A Secret.

A man .who had purchased fine looking horse soon discovered that the animal was blind, and after several weeks he succeeded in disposing of her, as the defect did not seem to lessen her speed nor detract from her general appearance. The next day the new owner of the horse appeared.
 Say, you know that mare you sold mel" he began. She's stone-blind."
 "I know it," replied her past owner, with an easy air.
 You didn't say anything to me about it," said the purchaser, his face red with anger.
 Well, you see," replied the other, "that fellow who sold her to me didn't tell me about it, and I just concluded that he didn't want it known"

IS CHINA pEcElTFUL7
1t Is Asserted She Is Playing . Deep-
 Laid Plot in YankeedOm.

According to the London Times and its Chinese correspondent, whose in- genuousness is not always beyond ques. tion, the visits of Chinese emissaries to this country are not friendly at all, but part of deep-laid scheme to deceive Yankeedom into the belief that Tsi Ann and her be-braided aristocracy really admire us so much that they have come over to discover "how we became so great for purposes of imitation. This, it seems, is intended to lull us into state of fancied security, says the New York Globe. In the meantime China will still further perfect her army. and when she is ready kick the foreigner, bag and baggage, out of the empire and thereafter keep him out, missionaries and all.
 China is still for all purposes of civilizatiOn,' says the correspondent. 'as unregenerate as when she sent forth the Burlingame mission on a sim liar errand forty years ago." She does not want to be reformed and will not eb if she can help it. Her only interest in the western nations is to learn their fighting methods. When she has mas tered these and is able to marshal her 250,O00,000 subjects to the defense of her own ideas of government, western civilization, religion and trade pro- mOterS will receive short Shrft.
 "The diplomatic success of Wu Ting Fang in the United States" says a Times leader, "who took the exact measure of the ignorance and weak nesses of Western democratic con- munities and learned to play upon them with singularly adrOit and deli cate touch, have not been thrown away upon the dowager empress and her councillors" In short, the Chinese con- missioners are gay deceiyers, only playing with the affections of the American eagle and they mean to wiring his neck as soon as they are strong enough.
 Whether Great Britain is actuated in giving us this warning by real anxiety for our welfare, or is simply jealous, her conclusions, we fear, are substan- tially correct. China has long had a not unjustifiable feeling that the ce- lestial empire really belongs to the Chinese, and her increasing familiari- ty with the western view as to na- tion's rights in its own bailiwick will certainly not tend to disabuse her of this notion.
 Japan's success has shown that Asia can thrash Europe on occasion. The great Chinese Rip Van Wrinkle has evil dently read this moral from the Rus sian defeat, and intends to run his own establishment just as soon as the neces- sary arrangements can be made. That Japan is secretly encouraging this at | titude there is every reason to believe, and, as the Times correspondent says. "it seems inevitable that sooner or later either the trade treaties will once more have to be enforced vi ct armis or the rights they confer be largely abandoned"

AN ACTORS ADVICE.
Stage FavOrite Tells How to Beat
 Time and Keep Young.

The way in which Henry E. DiXey preserves his youthfulness is wonder to the profession. Ills has practically changed none in personal appearance in twenty years. "Adonis" Dixey he was nicknamed just twenty-two years ago, when he first appeared in the title role of the phenomenally successful piece of that name and never was the title bet ter deserved.
 To-day he is still the fascinating, de- bonair, graceful, merry Harry, who looks 8 and is ten years older, who has seen vast audiences rise to fren- zied applause at his efforts to amuse them in one theater for three years at time, and then has seen himself the star in another when he could not get corpOrars guard to do him honor.
 Nevertheless, his eye wrinkles as mer- rily, his dark hair has still to find it's first gray, his face is as unwrinkled, and he is just the same careless Prince Charming to-day as he was when he was first called "Adonis"
 How does he do it? How does he manage to keep so young that DeSoto's Fountain of Youth would dry up with envy could 1t behold him?
 What woman is there who wouldn't give her choicest possession, her dear est treasure, anything or everything that she could command for the secret? We'll, here it is.
 Don't worry! That is the whole se- cret," says Dixey. Always be cheer full and happy, for, as the slangy little boy once said, The worst Is yet to come, and no matter how bad things look there Is always some redeeming feature of the situation if you'll only stop to think of it, and there is always some reason to laugh if you only know enough to find out what it is and then Obliterate all the other phases of the situation from your mind In fact, think perhaps I'll have Co take back my first statement and give half the credit for my having preserved the same ap- pearance for twenty years to having the faculty of seeing the funny side of things and laughing unrestrainedly at them. Exercise and nygienic diets are all very well in their way, no doubt, but for me the ability not to worry and the ability to laugh are much more de. sirable. Whoever saw man who was always laughing, with gray hair or lines of care making railroad tracks all over his cOuntenance? And whoever saw a man who could refrain from wor- rying who was not a success in what ever he undertook? Fate simply cannot keep people with those two qualities from getting the very best of every thing"

 ~.Fellers been writin' to the papers about the difference between English and American jokes" British visitor remarked at the Baltimore last night . to man in the next chair. "Duffer don't know what he's talkn' about. If he has any regard for the reputation of American humor he'll stop writin let ters in it's defense."
 "Why?"
 Why, my dear chap, why?' he re- peated. "Why? Because the American felIer asks the British feller to 'ex- plain the humor of an English joke"
 Well, what of that?'
 Flaw! How could anybody explain an English joke? I never could" He regarded his fawn spats meditatively. Look at that famous joke in Punch. Everybody has heard that joke"
 Not l." corrected his neighbOr.
 Flaw! That's your rotten bad luck, then Chappie wrote to Punch an ask ed his advice for those about to marty. An Punch just replied-'Don't.' Flaw! haw@"
 His glass fell. The other man was regarding him with frozen stare.
 Now, that's just it, deah boy" he argued, screwng the monocle back into place again; that's rattlln' good joke, but strike me putrid if I can ex- plain it. But Punch Is always maxim jokes like that. Said once that the re- formed British war office was q joke ! confess, though, that l never saw that. I'm in the gawds, y know. An those reformin' beggars changed our mess dress uniform four times in one year. That cost our fellers pot of money an we couldn't see the joke a bit"
 His neighbor did laugh at that.
 But strike me if I can see the fun In your American jokes," the visitor went on. "COmin' here from Colorado feller told me one He said that an India rubber factory caught fire an all the wOrkmen except one escaped. He was on the top floor of seventeen story buildin'. Couldn't get down. So he wrapped himself round an round in rubber sheetin', yards an yards of it. an let himself fall out of the win dow. Teller said that the poor beggar had made himself so elastic that he bounced an bounced for two days. an was starvin' to death right there be- fore hundreds of people. To cut short the agony policeman used his re- vOlver and killed him !"
 "Well?' laughed the other man.
 -Well?" repeated the visitor, indig. nantly. q don't see any joke in that. I think that constable exceeded his duty" s.s.,. ..

English Parliamentary Applause.

An innovation is said to have crept into the English House of Commons re- gently, when hand-clapping, familiar the world, over, but forbidden in the mother of Parliaments, was for the first time heard. The custom of the House calls for "Hear! Hearl" as the ex- pression of approval, often ironical. "Hear! Hear" according to learned authorities, is modern shortening of Hear him! Hear him." the regular parliamentary shout of approval down to the early part of the last century.

IS MARCHING ONWARD
33d Annual fair of the County AgriCul-
turdI Society ExceIs all PreM-
Gus Efforts.
Rich Benham Walks off with First Two
Prizes in Redwood County
Sweepstakes.

The 33d annual fair of the Red
wood county agricultural society
came to a close Friday evening.
Each annual fair has found an i'm
provement and the 33d maintained
the reputation. The exhibits were
much larger and better in all de-
partments, the crowd was as large
as during any previous year, and
the free attractions were immense.
The Okabe Japanese troupe made
good at every turn, and with their
first appearance on Wednesday they
set people talking, and the news of
their work and agility was spread
all over this section, with the result
that on Thursday and Friday people
came from miles to see them. Bailey
and May, the novelty barrel equili-
brists, won distinctive applause at
each appearance.
The prettiest sight of all was the
floral parade, under the supervision
of the ladies of the city, on Thursday
and Friday. The equipages were
gorgeously handsome. To specify
would be to detract, and detraction
would be unworthy where applause
and eulogy would be continuous.
Suffice it to say that the ladies of
the city, in arranging the affair, did
their share towards success wonder
fully won, and we trust that they
will reappear on each succeeding
year. Roots fairy and elfs float
caught the eye on account of it's
quaintness, and the high school
chariot with Florence Robinson as
driver, was striking. But they did
not detract from the others in the
least.
The voting contest closed at 7:30
Thursday evening with Miss Marie
Thune winning out as queen Of the
carnival, and the Misses Race of this
city and Pickett of Wabasso winning
as maids. They appeared in the
parade Friday.

ments, and 81 which have the Manual
Smith system IN use, which gives
very excellent results. This gives a
total of % districts in the country,
which are still using the stove in the
center of the room, without any
means of ventilation. Nearly all
school rooms are supplied with
storm sash, and when so equipped,
the children have a sorry time of it
if no system of ventilation is in use.
| am sorry for these 20 districts who
say 'our school-rooms are alright.
They don't know because they never
spent week in the school room in
mid-Winter when the rooms were
full of children and the air was bad
and the children and teacher had
headache. But they blamed the
teacher for not teaching a good
school in such a room.
School trustees ought to pay more
attention to the system of heating
and ventilation, which is in use in
the school room. and when the
teacher arrives she ought to be
shown the best way to manage the
furnace or stove. So many times
teachers state that no one explains
anything about the plan of heating.
Teachers ought to have the cooper
alton of the trustees in everything
relative to schools. There ought to
be more help from the patrons, if
teachers are to succeed. 1t is really
something to be proud of to state
that this county has done SO much
for its rural schools in this line.
ATTENDANCE OF PUPILS.
There are organized in the county
10 school districts. Twenty-eight
of these will have this year nine
months Of school, 60 will have eight
months, Is will have seven months,
six will have six months, one will
have five months. This will give an
average of nearly eight months for
each school in the county. Last year
there were employed in the rural
schools 40 normal graduates and 16
teachers that held state first grade
certificates or a total of Sc teachers
who held as a minimum standard, a
state certificate of the first grade.
| do not know Of any other county
in the state which can equal this rec
ord. There was paid for teachers
salaries for rural school teachers
$38, 1856, who had under their charge
1908 pupils, while the city and vii
lage teachers received in salaries
S24, 682 for teaching Zip pupils.
The total cost for all purposes for
the education of rural school pupils
last year was S43, 900, or about 5000
per pupil as against the cost for city
and village pupils Of $3.50 per en-
rolled child. The total enrolment
for the county was 5,195 pupils, of
which number 4, 544 were entitled to
apportionment. The average num-
Der of days attended by rural pupils
was Ill days, while the city and
