SUCCESSFUL FAIR,
SAY BUSINESS men
Has Advertised Lewiston Country, Centered Trade and
Cemented Our Business Relations
With the Interior,

Viewed from any standpoint, the big
fair has been a success. 1t has had an
amusement value, an educative value
and an advertising value. 1t has had
it's social side, it's culture side and it's
business side. In this last category is
the cultivation of trade relations be-
tween the business men of Lewiston
and the business men and their patrons
in the interior.
The management of the association
has given its patrons splendid
meeting, and the business men of Lew
iston, without a dissenting voice, ap-
preciate the good results that have
come and will grow out of the sue
cess of the meeting. IN a series of in
terviews obtained today from the rep

THE fair is a great benefit to the
people and the merchants" said Mr..
Willis, of the Lewiston Furniture Co.
1T gives us an opportunity to get ac-
quainted with the people in the sur
rounding country and in this way en-
large the scope of our business" In
answer to the question as to how busi-
ness was during the week, Mr. Willis
said, Our trade has been good"
We had good attendance and a
first class fair in every respect" is
the way Mr.. Wilson. of the Wilson
Clothing Co., expressed his opinion of
the fair. Our trade has been excel
lent, far beyond my expectation. Every
one that l have spoken to regarding
the fair seems to have been pleased"
Il find business good. There is a
good attendance and all seem pleased
with the fair in general" said Mr.. Co
burn. The fair gives a splendid op-
portunfty for business men and the
people to meet and thus become better
acquainted. The exhibits were all good
and the live stock show far ahead of
anything we have had in previous
years."

PIcKETT'S OLD FRIEND.
A Story Told OF Abraham Lincoln's
Visit to Richmond.

The day after the great fire follow"
ing the fall eff Richmond, Lincoln, with
a small bodyguard, walked through
the streets of the charred city. AS he
approached the corner occupied by
Gen. Pickett's residence he directed
the guard to wait, and to their aston
ishment ran two steps at a time up
to the door and rapped.s The servants
had fed. The "baby bride" had never
seen President Lincoln, but she had
read his letters to her husband, and
from him had learned to hold in the
highest esteem the great Northern
President. With her baby in her arms
she opened the door, says The World
To-day, and looked up at the tail,
gaunt man with the sad face and I'm.
couth ways.
Without a word of explanation he
asked:
rs George Pickett about?"
To hear the husbands name berefS
of it's title by Yankee at that moment
was almost the limit, especially as
many rumor had fioated about Rich
mond concerning the fate which await
ed the leaders of the Confederacy.
With all the proud dignity she could
command the baby bride replied:
Gen. Pickett is not at home"
The stranger seemed disappointed,
and as he turned to go remarked:
Il am Abraham Lincoln, an old
friend of Georges"
Not President Lincoln!" Mrs. Pick
EFT exclaimed. The tall man shook
his head, repeating:
mo. Just Abraham Lincoln. George
Pickett's old friend"
Following the instant prompting OF
the heart which still governs her, the
baby bride thrust her baby boy into
the arms of the gaunt Yankee, as her
best effort to express her veneration
and confidence, saying:
Il am George Pickett's wife, and
this is George Pickett's baby

coffee caused the trouble and Postum

my brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day.
He was troubled with sour stomach,
and would often notice him getting
soda from the can to relieve the dis

day passed without a dose of soda
for relief.

He Looked Not On The Wine.

A Boston minister says that not

q young man from Kentucky, and
the minister was much pleased by
the youths somewhat dif1dent yet

noted that the young man had LETT
his wine untouched.
Don't you drink wine, Mr.. cray

host asked, lifting her own glass and
smiling across at the young man.
''No, I never do he replied,
blushing.
ooh, but I am sure you will this
time-just one glass-with me?"
she insisted.

reply, and the minister looked upon
him with growing admiration. The
young lady very nearly achieved a

"You won't, them" she asked.

Naval Onium Eaters.

The question of the use of opium in
the army and navy continues to cause
a good deal of anxiety to the French
government. The evil is especially
serious in the feet. 1t is now twelve
months since the Minister of Marine
first took action in the matter, but
the vicious habit persists and the
Minister has felt compelled to at once
declare war against it. The disciplin.
airy measures ordered against those
found to indulge in opium are now
to be rendered more severe. Indeed,
the duty of dealing with such cases
is removed from all ordinary pro-
cesses, and every man, of whatever
grade, found under the influence of
opium, is to be reported direct to the
Minister of Marine. Every command.

Growing crops show further good
progress toward harvest, and fall
trade tends to expand at leading
Western and Eastern jobbing CEN
tres. Cross currents are visible in
different industries. Thus, while
finished cotton fabrics are in de-
mand and some marks, notably
bleached goods, have been further
advanced, there are reports of small
er demand and lower prices for cot
ton yarns. In wooden goods, while
high-grade worsted and fine wooden
fabrics sold we'll, other grades are
slower of sale, and there is talk OF
accumulation. In the leather trade
there is more life than of late, and
good quality leather and hides are
on better sale, as are also high-class
shoes. Low grades are slower of
sale, and Eastern shipments so far
are per cent. behind 1906. In
iron and steel the lack of new buy
ing is still notable and prices tend
to ease, as the mills and furnaces
find deliveries easier to make.

when you cut it and how we'll you
put it up and store it. Black or musty
should be to get the crop cured and in

coed qualities it had when standing as
grass. Coed hay is nothing but grass,

THE SEX OF GU1NEAS.

For the benefit of those puzzled to
tell the sex of guinea fowls we quote
the following from Coleman's Rural
World:
ITO distinguish between the male
and female guineas note their gills.
You will find the gills of the male are
much larger than those of the female,
and stick nearly straight out from his
head and those of the hen are small
and hang down. The hen is a good
deal better than the male bird. If you
are we'll enough acquainted with them
you can distinguish them by their cry.
The female says Pot luck and the
male chatters."

POULTRY PASTURE.

It is distressing to see poultry con-
fined to bare yard. It is very
shortsighted way to manage. 1t is no
more necessary to feed chickens all
the stuff they eat than it is to feed
cows in the stable the year round.
Chickens like to forage for part of
their living, and it is a great deal
cheaper and wonderful sight better
to let them do it. You may not have
farm to let them range over, but
you can provide a good sized yard
and shut them out of part of it while
green stuff is growing, then reverse
the process. Vegetation induces moist
ure and helps to collect supply Of
insects and worms that the chickens
like to feed on. 1t supplies mixed
rations that is especially valuable to
poultry.-Farm Press.
YOUNG TURKEYS.
Young turkeys are very tender
things and much harder to raise to
maturity than young chickens, but at.
ter they are a month old the danger
line is past and they are henceforth
harder than any chick. The main
thing is to keep them perfectly dry and
never allow them to get wet. They
should be kept in till the dew is off
the grass and never be allowed to be
caught in shower of rain. Cracked
grains are better for them than sloppy
food, and as they are greedy devour.
ers of bugs, and insects, they should
be provided with some kind of animal
food when they can not get their nat
ural supply of bugs.-Kansas Farmer.
