Influence of the Chicago Stock shc

Influence of the Chicago Stock Show.
The International Live Stock Expo
siticn. which will this year be held
from November 2Sth to December 10th
inclusive, has proved such triumphal
success. has made such phenomenal
growth, has SO widened its educational
influence and has scored as such a
popular attraction to all classes. that
the management found it necessary to
extend the dates, thus offering exhib
tors greater opportunities, giving Wis
itors more comfort and granting those
most directly connected with the live
stock industry more time for study and
research.
The educational influence that radi-
ates from this exposition cannot be
oyerestimated, and as the live stock
industry is the very life of agriculture
and this great exposition its right arm,
no progressive farmer or feeder can
afford to ignore it.
The fate of the American farmer is
to considerable extent bound up
with the success of his keeping live
stock The father owes it to his son
TO give him such training as will
bring the best results, and the lessons
taught at the International are of
such nature that they will not only
create ideals, but also assure ultimate
success; consequently. he should not
overlook this opportunity, take advan-
tage of the low railroad fares, acquire
such lessons at this exposition as will
prove beneficial to him in the perform
ance of his daily labors, and also give
himself and family change, and per
haps much needed recreation.

The Trick.

Evan Roberts, the advertising ex-

other day about the disappearance Of
the reading advertisement.
The reading advertisement" he
said, the advertisement gotten up to
look like news, is no longer popular
because advertisers have found that
instead Of pleasing and impressing the
people, it angers them. 1t Anglers

SUCCESS.


Drive, drive, We laggards, drive,
Nor halt, nor slack your headlong
way;
But onward press your utmost speed
Until your running ends.
What though some luckless wretch
Lies helpless on your track,
Needs help to start him on his way.
Shall you your destined goal forsake.
And mayhap lose the bauble marked
for you,
If now YOU stop and listen to his
cries?
For shame to pause, or ev'n to swerye
To right or left: but drive right on,
Your speed. your weight, your skill,
To make your course as swift. as far
As fortune lends her aid. are yours
To make for you the sum of what Won
may
So on and on through ali the day,
Forget to tire, and banisl sleep
Until it slowly comes for but a little
while.
Then up and madly race.
Have eyes for naught but holding on
the way;
No ear to hear frenzied cry:
No heart to feel a sympathetic throb
For ills that come to those around
And thus YOU win the prize Success

Jack Low for Supervisor
Jack Low, the popular young busi-
ness man and cowpuncher, who will
return shortly from Cheyenne, where
he covered himself with glory, Is be-
ing mentioned by the Democrats as a
candidate for Supervisor. 1t is said
that his consent can be obtained, and
many of that party's members think
that he might be able to lasso the Job
as neatly as he does the cattle.
The Sherifship Fight
The fight for the Sheriffship is still
about the same, though the chances
of A. p. Taylor seem to have bright
ened little, and there is a possible
ity, however remote, that he may
land the nomination through dead
lock between tho Long and Wise
forces. The Lane forces are willing
to support Taylor. presumably in ex"
change for support from the organ
on which Taylor is employed. Wise
is, however, still the strongest can
didate, and he has strong point In
his favor on account of the feeling,
which is getting into concrete form,
that the st. Louis Alumni are try

while the Kamehameha boys are left

Waller Not Running
Gilbert j. Waller, on whom many
Democrats had pinned their faith as
a strong candidate for the Senate,

that he would not run for that or any
