dinosauruses for miles, making noise
like distant thunder, whether from
eating the steers, giving them a pain.
or whether bidding defiance to him
and his horse, he never could make
out, but he said nothing but money
could ever induce him to go into that
valley again.
Pa asked the other cowboys if they
had ever been to that dinosaurus val
ley, and they winked at each other and
said they had heard of it, but there
was not money enough to hire them
to go there, cause they had heard that
mans life was not safe minute.
Bill, who had told the story, was the
only man who had ever been there,
and the only man living that had
seen live dinosaurs.

KINGS at the Fair.

Hamline.-The King of the PAGERS
and the king of Trotters," the two
fastest stations of their respective
classes in the world-Dan Patch and
Cresceus-are to appear together on
Monday, Sept. 3, the opening day OF
the next Minnesota State Fair.
Papers were signed recently by M.
W. Savage, owner of the two great
horses, and G. M. Griggs and Z. w.
Randall on behalf of the Minnesota
State Agricultural society, which assure
this event for the fair. Negotiations had
been going on for some time; their
satisfactory conclusion makes certain
a track event which has never been
equalled at any time or place in the
world. Either one of these great
horses alone would suffice to create
unbounded interest; both together will
be sight which few people will see
in a lifetime.
A total of s65,64450 is offere1 this
year in premiums and purses by the
Minnesota State Agricultural Society.
This is the largest amount hung up
by any state fair in the country,

management of the show. What do
you think about it?"

by studying geography in school that
the dinasaurus was extinct, and had

it all right. / tell you, I am going to

rs an all-around rough rider and cow

dozen of, the cowboys to go with our
show. and then we went into camp
for the night, and the cowboys told
of a place about 20 miles away, where
some scientists had camp, where
they were excavating to dig out petri-
fed bones of animals supposed to be
extinct, like the dinosaurs and the
hodsy, and pa wanted to go there and
see about it, and the next day we took
half a dozen of the cowboys pa had
hired. and we rode to the camp.
Gee, but / never believed that such
animals evay- did exist in this coun-
try. but the scientists had one animal
picture that showed the dinosaurs as
he existed when alive, an animal over
70 feet long, that would weigh as
much as a dozen of our largest ele-
plants, with neck as long as Is
giraffes, and then they showed us

PULLED OFF HIS ARM.
Quick Presence of Mind of Man Who
Was Being Crushed Saves
His Life.

Cincinnati.-The quick presence of
mind in the face of terrible accident
is all that saved the life of Frank p.
Thomas, manager of the Peacock dis
tillery. The accident occurred at the
plant of the Peacock company, at Kais-
erton, KY, which is four miles from
Paris.
Mr.. Thomas went to the plant sever
al days ago to superintend the placing
of new machinery and prepare to start
the distillery for its season run. A
new machine had just been installed,
which is used to crush the grain for
its mash. The rollers of this machine
are adjusted to crush the grain down
to the thickness of newspaper.
While feeling up the grain chute which
feeds this masher Mr.. Thomas, who
wore glove, accidentally got too close
to the rapidly revolving rollers, and
his right hand was drawn into it.
Hsi arm was being rapidly pulled
through the machine, when, with rare
presence of mind, and with a power.
full jerk, he pulled yf the crushed por-
ton of his arm, the rollers having
reached to within few inches of his
elbow.
He was removed to the Office Of the
company, where medical aid was sum.
moned, and his arm was later ampu-
tated near the shoulder.

neat. These promise to enjoy great
favor, and the new gray mohairs are
equally good. The latter are indis-
tinctly plaided, but the effect is gray.
A new black and white silk has a gray
line running through it, giving it the
stamp of fashion.
There are nice gray mohair petit
coats, some gray and black striped
ones, lovely gray silk skirts, and pom
gees in neutral tones. So many gray
voiles being worn, a petticoat to
match is essential and all shades are
offered, from dull gun-metal to softest
pearl gray. A changeable gray is very
pretty, nothing to be found of softer
coloring than gray and white.
We recently observed a gray and
white transparent frock-could not
make out just what the material was,
looked like silk muslin, but seemed
to have more body; the skirt trimmed
only with wide tucks, the blouse sim
ply with little filmy lace. This frock
would be very pretty worn with a
white chip hat having a gray feather
across the back and wreath of white
roses about the crown One of the
new long wells might be draped about
1t, the draping long veil restored to full
favor No doubt as the season ad-
vances we shall have numbers of gray
wash dresses, and these will be Sc
lected not only by the gray haired
dame, but also by the apple checked
maid.
The tailors are making up some good
gray waists in severe tailored style,
these to be worn with gray SUITS and
they also have the black and white
striped silks which give gray effect.
While lingerie waists will be with us
all summer, there is tendency to re-
turn to simpler styles, silk and net
waists not trimmed with much elabor-
alton. A new waist is sheer black
net, handsomely embroidered. The
black chiffon waist is in style and also
the black lace waist.

Modest Gray In High Fashion

In the spring young girls fancy
earnestly turns to thoughts Of gown to
wear on the momentous occasion she
receives her diploma, and 1t is none too
early to consider frocks of this charac-
ter. The June bride, the July gradu-
ate, the summer girl, all take deepest
interest just now in filmy finery.
And filmy it is to be sure, summer
stuffs so fine and thin and cobwebby.
Colored slips will be worn under the
transparencies, the wearer of course,
choosing the most becoming color;
bravely eschewing fashionable rose
shades if they make her look blowsy,
keeping to that old standby-pale-
blue-if it is most kindly to her COM
plexion.
In the gowns here illustrated we
have two distinct styles, the princess

and lapels of lace. The sleeves come
just to the elbow, and are edged with
modest lace frill. The original (and
many that are copied for street wear)
has a neat little belt of kid, but for
more elaborate occasions a girdle Of
Powered silk ribbon should be chosen,
the girdle narrow and with a dip at
the front.
Many skirts are trimmed elaborate
ly, some scarcely at all. A nice white
wolfe had as the only adornment some
nuns folds on the skirt and little
good lace on guimpe and short sleeves.
One may pay shilling yard for ones
frock, or ten times that sum-and after
all there does not appear such great
difference in the finished product. A
dotted Swiss makes up very prettily
and is SO fresh and dainty looking.

Child Labor.

Winona, Minn.-Unless there is a
marked decrease in the employment
of child labor in the factories of Wi
mona when Deputy Labor Commits
sioner F. E. Hoffman, calls here next
fall there will be some pretty stiff
prosecutions When he was here about
a year ago, although it was in vaca-
ton, he found hardly a child under
age employed in Winona. On the in
spection which he completed today he
found thirteen in one place, nine in
another and different numbers in var
iousN other places. No arrests were
made this time, but a definite warn
ing was given and promises made
that all children under age would be
discharged Mr.. Hoffman, says he
will prosecute every violator OF the
law he finds on his next visit. In all
other respects he is able to make a
very favorable report on the factory
conditions in Winona.

window, and pas circus instinct told
him that If he could find such an AMI
NAL alive, and capture It for the
show, our fortunes would be made.
We stayed there all night. and pa
asked questions about the probability
of there being SUCH animals alive at
this day, and the scientists promptly
told pa these animals only existed
ages and ages ago, when the country
was covered with water and was part
of the ocean, and that the animals
lived on the high places, but when the
water receded, and the ocean became
q desert, the dinosaurs died of a
broken heart, and all we had to show
for it was these petrified bones.
Pa ought to have believed the scien-
fists, cause they know all about
their business, but after the scientists
had gone to bed the cowboys began to
string pa. They told him that about
a hundred miles to the north, in a
valley in the mountains, the di-
nosaurus still existed, alive, and that
no man dare go there. One cowboy
said he was herding bunch of cattle
in a valley up there once, and the
bunch got into drove of dinosauruses,
and the first thing he knew big
dinosaurs reached out his neck and
picked up steer, raised it in the air
about so feet, as easy as derrick
would pick up dog house, and the
dinosaurs swallowed the steer whole,
and the other dinosauruses each swal-
lowed a steer. The cowboy said be-
fore he knew it his whole bunch of
steers was swallowed whole, and they
would have swallowed him and his
horse if he hadn't skinned out on a

die which had got loose from the
horse that he was riding when he
lassooed the black steer around the
belly, and the steer was running away,
dragging pa and the saddle across the
plains, thought / never would see
him alive again. But the cowboys
said they would bring his remains
back all right. When they rode away
to capture the steer and release pa,

Heaviest of Railway Rails,

What are believed to be the heavi-
est rails in use on any steam railroad
in the world are on the belt line
around Philadelphia. They weigh 142
pounds to the yard. Concrete with
nine-inch Orders are used with heavy
ballast to make firm roadbed. One
railroad official states this section Of
ruadbed will last for 25 years without
repairs. This would mean material
reduction in maintenance expense to
the road using these rails.

Count CompIeted.

st. Paul.-The first accurate figures
on the number of men Minnesota con-
tributed to the Civil war were COM
pleted by G. J. Humason, record clerk
in the adjutant generals department.
He gives the number as 22,01S, which
is about 1000 less than the figures
that have been published heretofore.
In going through the records he found
many that were enlisted in more than
one company and thus duplicated.
The former editions of Minnesota in
the Civil and Indian Wars" gave about
$4,000. This number he has reduced
to 21,198. but to this he has added 500
names which have heretofore never
been published in the records.

wagons to remember that all United

way in public highways when on
duty, says the Rural Free Delivery

without violation of the United States
mail law, and if collision is made
by SO doing, and mail delayed, it will
not be long thereafter until a Deputy
u. S. Marshal will be looking for GER,
tain parties who will answer to call
at a U. S. court. This law applies not
only when meeting vehicle, but APP
plies to those in front of the mail as
well, when mail makes an effort to
