 This morning a farmers wife drove spring wagon to town full of poul- try butter and eggs; she came to do her Thanksgiving shopping She drove her ri into the livery stable, took her produce to the commission house, sold it, got the money, went over to the Midway bought a hot dinner of soup, roast beef, mashed po- tatoes, peas little lettuce and some apple pie, bought her provender, loaded up the wagon, and was home in time 10 help with the supper
 Thirty years ago when there was any marketing to do the whole fam fly came to town. It was a big day Father hitched up the wagon, he and the hired man sat in front, mother an the big girls sat in the chairs, and the boys and girls were slowed away in the hay and blankets behind. When they got to town, father and mother and the big girls and the hired man ! went around to the stores, and the children played around the wagon, In deadly terror of the bad town boys father dld the selling; father took the money; father bought the groceriesg and bossed mother and the. girls when they bough dry goodsa Mother sat around he grocery and dry goods store until noon, and then the whole family assembled around the wagon and opened the lunch basket. The soda biscuits contained slap of cold bacon, and the mince pie and the chunks of corned beef were passed abound. Finally after the dog and the town dogs had fought 1t out, and the boys and the town boys had got to sclodding" one another, and father and the hired man had finished talk ing politics over at the sample room,' the horses were hitched up and about o'clock the outfit pulled out for the farm.

THE DlVl No HORSES.
"KlNG" AND "Q UEEN" TO BE AT THE
 DAN BURY FAIR.

The feature act among the different stand at the Danbury fair, October 2 to 6, will be Gorman's diving horses. This is the most expensive act ever engaged for the Danbury fair and is at the same time startling, clever and pretty. Across from the east end Of the grand stand deep pit is dug in the ground and over it is platform high in the air to which leads an in- cline up which the horses climb. King and Queen, the two diving horses, are pure white in color and pretty as pie lures. When given the signal, King,
 with no guiding, walks up the incline to the platform, looks around leiSurely and then, resting his fore feet on slight projection foot or two below the surface of the platform, dives head first into the water below. There is mighty splash and it is several seconds before the horses head appears above the water. King then swims to the edge of the tank and walks up an in- cline, which is there for the purpose,
 to the surface of the ground. Queen, like her sex in the human family, ap- pears to have large amount of curi- osity. On mounting the diving plat form she takes her time to get good view of the grounds She gazeS all around, takes in the racing stables, the cattle buildings, the Midway, the grand stand and everything else in sight and then proceeds leisurely to dive into the water below. This part of the per fOrmance is as amusing to the crowd on the grand stand as the diving itself.

About the middle of December a friend told me one day that he had tried pr Williams Pink Pills and found them reliable. 1 commenced taking them and at the end of two weeks the change for the better was remarked by friends.
