YOUR GAWKY BOY.

That gawky boy of yours-ungainly,
gaunt, shy, unprepossessing, as he is
writes Henry A. Shute in the March
Delineator. You nag him. You laugh
at him and ridicule him. Did you ever
realize how it hurts? You ought to
realize it, for it is not long since you
knew how it felt. You would have
stood pain like man and so does your
boy. You would have borne privation
like a stole, and so does your boy, and
there would have been a grim sort of
enjoyment in it, for the boy of resist
ance is fondly awake at IA.
But you coud not bear ridicule and
he can not, and yet there is scarcely
a day when you do not cause him
sharp discomfort.
The boys mother never knew this.
She loves every awkward movement OF
her boy. She loves his long legs and
she loves to hear his raucous voice.
She smiles at it, too, and at him, and
1t is smile of genuine amusement, but
there is love in the smile, and love in
her eyes, and he knows it, and adores
her for it.
If he becomes depressed and de-
spondent, he confides his troubles in
his dog, which sits in front of him
gazing at him with an almost human
expression of sympathy and puts his
paw on his masters knee.
A bit unfortunate, isn't it. that your
own Inv Ia Obliged tn demand nm hic
mother and his dog for sympathy and
affection? He gets none from you and
but little from his brothers and sisters.
1t is true, isn't it?
My friend, If you paid as much per-
sonal attention to the proper develop
ment of your boy as you do in raising
the two-minute trotter, or the blue
ribbon Guernsey, or the Black Strain
Jubilee of Orpington, or in beating
bogy, or in your game of whist, you
would be astonished at the results.

FOR ITS STATE
FAIR
Stock and Cereal Exhibits to
Be Especially Strong at the
Big Show.

North Dakota's third annual state
fair, to be held this summer in Grand
Forks, will be the biggest and finest
agricultural and stock exhibit ever
seen in the northwest. The dates are
definitely fixed for July % to %, and
active work is under way.
Though the state fair movement is
new in North Dakota, it is planned to
make rapid progress to keep up with
the wonderful growth and development
of the state. particularly in the nor
thern half. The first state fair, held
two years ago in Grand Forks, was 4
revelation to even the best and most
loyal boomers OF the state. The adj
vancement this year will DO more
marked than in previous years.
Already large stockraisers and hand
lers have applied for space and the
stock exhibits particularly will be eX-
ceptionally fine. Interest will be added
to the fair because of the excellent
speed program that has been arranged.
Grand Forks is in circuit with VIM
nipeg and Minot and possibly Fargo.
so that at least three or four weeks
racing and purses aggregating $4,000
or more will be hung up for the speed
ers.
The Financial End.
A. I. Hunter, president of the state
fair association, announces that neith-
err time, money nor pains will he
spared to make the exhibit the best
ever held in the state. The state has
appropriated $4,000. half to be used
for buildings and half for premiums.
Grand Forks county donates $4,000
for buildings and improvements. The
various stock breeders associations
have subscribed $1,000 for premiums.
To these amounts the association itself
will add sufficient amounts to guaran-
tee $4,000 in premiums and $4,000 i'll
racing purses.
Having won out, as was expected,
Grand Forks and its friends through
out the state are preparing to jump in
and make the fair bigger and better
than ever. The business men of Grand
Forks, working through the CONNER

AdOlph s. Ochs.


Adolph S. Ochs, who, while still un-
der fifty years OF age, has attained
rank among Americas foremost news
paper publishers. was born in Cincin-
natl March -. 1858. His parents had
emigrated to the United States from
Germany. While young boy Adolph
removed with his parents to Knoxville,
Tenn, and it was in that city that he
received his public school education
and begun his career. From the time
he left school until he reached man
hood he was in turn a newsboy, a clerk
in a grocery store. a druggist, appren-
tice and a printer. During the most OF
this time he attended night school in
order that he might become better edu-
Gated. At an age when most young
men are just beginning to figure on
their future calling young Ochs be-
came publisher of the Chattanooga
Times, which was his first newspaper
venture, and of which he is still the
proprietor. A year later he established
a trade publication, which was finan-
cial success from the start and out of
which he made enough money to &C.

the great metropolitan dailies in New
York. Not vet satisfied with the extent
of his field OF operations Mr.. Ocns

500 HEADING FOR DULUTH
Contract to Build the Line Has Been
Let to Foley Bros, Of
st. Paul.

The Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault
Ste Marie railroad is to build its new
line to Duluth at once. Foley Broth
ers, railroad contractors of st. Paul,
have been awarded the contract and
construction gangs are being sent to
the scene of operations.
The new line is to run from Brooten,
Mimi, to Superior and thence to Du-
luth. The distance is about 200 miles
and the road will cross the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads
at Freeport, Royalton and other
points. 1t will skirt the southern
shores of Mile Laos in its course and
will open up great territory. 1t is
estimated that, counting terminals at
Duluth and Superior. the line win
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000, 900.

ALIVE WITH GOLDEN CARP.
Breaking Of Ice Reveals Legacy From
WOrldsa Fair Exhibit.


Members of the South Shore Country
club, with the breaking of the ice in
Lake Michigan, have discovered swarms
of goldfish, which have never before
been seen in the lake. The fish run in
large sizes, some of them being more
than foot in length.
The appearance of the new species
of fish caused much comment among
anglers and 1t was a mystery where
they came from until one of the men,
bers of the club, who was interested
in the worlds fair fisheries exhibit,
saw one of the new find and pro-
nounced it golden carp, shoal of
which had been brought over from
Germany and exhibited at the fair.
After the exhibition closed several hun
dreds of the fish were dumped into
Lake Michigan, and it is from these
that it is now believed that the new
lake fish is found.
The mystery, however, is where the
fish have been keeping themselves
since the fair closed. Until the present
time, comparatively speaking, none
have been caught or seen in the waters
around Chicago. The only solution is
that the fish made their way north and
have been lying in the upper lakes un-
til recently, more than fourteen years
since the first few hundreds were
thrown in the waters of Jackson park.
The fish are of a brilliant red golden
color, except the tail and fins, which
are of a dead black. Many fisherman
in the neighborhood of the club have
caught large quantities of the fish and
many have eaten them. The flavor is
reported unusually toothsome and
tastes of the mountain trout caught in
the Adironkacks.

atterward, Colonel Taylor was not
sufficiently impressed with Davis to
desire him as son-in-law, and
refused his consent to the marriage
of the young couple. The elopement
followed.
"The pair had expected to reach
Galena the same night Knowing
Colonel Taylor's energetic ways, it
was no wonder they were nervous
over their delay at my house. They
were not followed, pursuit having
been turned in another direction"
The traditions of the army are that

he expressed his dlsapprobation in
