borne BY one Of the huge streamers,
and not . soul dared dispute the fact.
II Is surprising how few exhibits

one Of the best premiums Of all
was offered for this product. We
understand that there were but three

visitors a good time, he could not
help but go home with more friend

he had been taught to believe want
ed gouge him at every turn in the
road. The vaudeville exhibitions
were pulled off on a large platform
erected at the corner of Main and
Third streets, in plain view of every
one.
The business men have no reason
to complain Of the manner In which
the farmers used them, for their
special sales were well patronized.
The farmers got real bargains, and
many were brokeu Of the mail or
der habit, and from henceforth will
patronize the home merchant-as
long as he is certain Of getting a
square deal.
The Independent Office was as busy
a place as there was in the city. The
counting room was filled with farm
ers anxious to take advantage of
our fifty cent offer. and several
hundred dollars were collected on
subscription.
This will keep the wolf away from
the door step of the proprietors for
"a little while. By actual count, 267
NEW subscriptions were added to the
paper, many sending the paper to
| their friends.
! Minot was very prettily decorated,
for the Festival. Flags and bunting
were everywhege present. The bust
ness men took great pains to arrange
attractive show windows. One of the
prettiest we saw was that Of the
Economy Drug Co. Large sheaves
| of wheat were stood in the window
| representing shocks, and genuine
| pumpkins and squashes were set in
between them. Prairie chickens were
getting their meal In the stubble.
Taken all together the window was
very natural and crowd stood in
front Of it continually.
Weinrebe, the shoe man and the
Minot Academy OF Music had long
banners stretched across the Main
street, announcing their business.
The Williston Band, the excellent
organization from our husky little
neighbor west Of us,arrived Monday
prepared to stay the two days.. The
band ia good one and lent much
to the success OF our Festival The
leader is an energetic fellow. and
the way he makes those musicians
play is a caution.
The Minot High School band and
the Metropolitan city band also
played during the celebration, 80 we
had pleaty of inspiring music.
| Our two vaudeville and moving
picture shows, the Arcade and the
Lyceum, must come In or their
share in the entertainment Of the
guests. Both theatres were run
wide open during each of the two
days and the best of attractions
given. The Festival committee Sc
cured the shows at good round
\ figure, and thousands enjoyed the
shows. Five free entertainments
were given each day by each of the
theatres.

put in 25 acres of potatoes, but the
frost gqt ten acres of them, and they

Heart to Heart
Talks.
YOUR WIFE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

YOUR WIFE.
A close relative of the writer of this
article In moment Of intimacy con-
fided the fact that he was more or less
disappointed in his wife.
This recently married husband said:
''She is vivacious and good tempered
and all that, but she is, / think, little
frivolous for a married woman. She
is also somewhat extravagant and i'm
practical in her housekeeping"
Well, said, did you marry her be-
cause you thought her practical and
economical, good housekeeper and a
financial manager?'
After pause he replied:
mo. not exactly. l was fascinated
with her ways and good looks. | did
not think much about the practical
qualities. Really l liked her because
she was illogical and impulsive."
And there you are.
The boy had married the girl be-
cause she was pretty and whimsical
and girlishly irresponsible. and now be
was finding fault with her because
she was not practical. good cook and
housekeeper.
common in bridegrooms-that a few
words uttered by a minister would
miraculously change her entire nature.
Nobody made him marry her.
Indeed, there was opposition by her
family.
The girl did not pretend to be com
petent cook or an able financier.
In short, the boy got just what he ad-
mired, just what he wanted. and now,
having accomplished his hearts desire,
was finding fault with his bargain.
1t is possible there are others.
Young husband-or old, for that mat
ter-did 1t ever occur to you that pos
sibly you are asking or expecting from
your wife more than you ought? Are
you demanding more from her than in
reason you should receive?
Now, 1t is quite possible should you
cease to expect too much and quit find
ing fault with your wife and give her
an honest chance to do what you want
her to do and become what you want
her TO be-if you would give her "a
square deaP'-she might come more
closely to your expectations.
Most women have good hearts and
are quick to respond to encouragement
and fair treatment.
Do not expect too much of your wife.
Give her a chance She will meet
you halfway or more. But If not don't
whine.
Keep still and take your medicine.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY NO
SURPRISE SAYS HITCHCOCK

New York, Nov. chairman Frank
H. Hitchcock of the republican national
committee and practically all the re-
publican national leaders at present in
the city received the returns by special
wire at the republican headquarters.
Mr. Hitchcock was in constant com
munication with both the White House
and Mr.. Taft's home in Cincinnati by
direct wire. The republican chairman
was perfectly cool and collected as the
returns came in. When 1t became GER
tain that Taft and Sherman had won
he was asked for a statement and said:
Il am not at all surprised at the re-
suit. All of my advices indicated that
Mr.. Taft would be elected, without
doubt 1t is simply an evidence that
the American people are satisfied with
the policies of the republican party and
wish them continued for the next four
years. l do not see that there is any
thing more can say"
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-11-04

Washington, d. c., Nov. 4.-No wo-
fcult and exacting position of mistress
of the White House was better pre-
pared and equipped for her task than
is Mrs Helen H Taft, the wife of
President-E Elect Taft. She is a woman
of culture and refinement and of many
accomplishments, possesses unusual
tact, social finish and above all large
measure of sound common sense. For a
number of years she has lived in Wash
ington as one of the most distin guished
women of the official circles and the
training which she received during that
time will undoubtedly, prove of great
value to her as mistress of the White
House
Personally Mrs. Taft is quite as at
tractive as she is from an intellectual
point of view. She is fair, slender and
girlish looking and no one would sus-
pect from her appearance that she has
a son old enough to be in college. She
is frank and vivacious, unpretentious,
and yet possessed of marked dignity
of bearing and the self-poise SO neces-
sary to a woman in her exalted posi-
ton. She is always cordial, rare
accomplishment among society women
and possesses an excellent memory for
persons and names. an invaluable gift
for the wife of a political leader.
The new mistress of the White House
was Miss Helen Heron, daughter of
the law partner of the late President
Hayes, when she married William H.
Taft in Cincinnati, in 1885. She was
bright and talented girl with per-
feet passion for music. In addition to
a good education she received an ex-
cellent training in music and through
all her future life music has ever
been her favorite recreation. She is
not only an accomplished pianist, but
possesses a thorough knowledge of the
theory of music and an extensive ac-
quaintance with the breat works of
musical literature. But, notwithstand-
ing her great love of music and her
ardent devotion TO it, she has never
allowed it to become an all-absorb-
ing passion, or even a fad to the ex-
tent of interfering with her duties
to her husband and her family.
Although. probably. better equipped
for a high social position than most
women holding important positions in
American society. Mrs. Taft is by no
means a typical society woman" For
that she is too intelligent, sensible and
well balanced Ever since her husband
entered official life in Washington and
even before that, when he was still
holding a judgeship in Ohio, Mrs. Taft
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-11-04
THE NEXT MISTRESS
OF THE WHITE HOUSE

has made it her study and aim to fill
to the best of her ability the position
in society to which she was entitled
by virtue of her husbands official
rank. Her natural talent and the in
tellectual training of her girlhood days
made the task easier for her and her
Unborn tact helped her to avoid the pit
falls so disastrous to inexperienced and
but indifferently equipped women in Of
fetal society.
Nowhere is the new mistress of the
White House seen to greater advantage
than in her home circle, the supreme
test for the sterling qualities of any
woman, no matter what her position
in society. She is devoted to her hus-
band and her children. takes interest
in everything pertaining to her domes-
tic establishment and is considered a
model housekeeper. She does not con-
slider it below her dignity to attend
to her household duties and devotes
great personal care TO the proper con-
duct of her domestic establishment.
No woman in Washington society ever
knew better than Mrs. Taft to add a
wholesome and refreshing domestic
charm to her social entertainments. No
matter how formal the function may
be, Mrs. Taft as the hostess makes all
her guests feel that they are received
at her home, not in a hotel parlor or
public hall. She knows better than
most women the secret of making her
guests feel at ease without vulgariz-
ing the tone dominant of her hospit-
able board.
Mrs. Taft is an accomplished mu-
stefan and has great love for her art,
but she never obtrudes the subject of
, music in conversation nor does she
ever bore her guests with inane ac-
counts of the petty tribulations to
which every woman at the head of a
large domestic establishment is more
or less exposed. OF her family and
her own, affairs she speaks with we'll
bred discretion and sparingly, while
she shows remarkable skill and tact in
drawing out her visitors by manifesting
sympathetic interest in their affairs.
Her home, wherever she may be, is al
ways filled with that intangible charm
which springs from the intellectual
ty, refinement and exquisite artistic
taste of the hostess. Mrs. Taft, like
her daughter, Helen, now studying at
Bryn Mawr. is an Episcopalians but
she is broad minded enough not to al
nature to arise between her and her
husband, who belongs to the Unitarian
church, although he frequently attends
services at the Episcopal church with
his wife.

1872. He graduated from the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and subsequently
studied law. In 1893 he became secre-
rotary to the American embassy at
London and remained there two years.
He then resumed his law studies and
in the war with Spain and served sew
eral months in Cuba. At the conclu-
sion of the war he re-entered diplo-
matte life. He was charge d'affaires
at Constantinople for two years and
then served a year as minister to Per
STA. In 1902 he became minister to
Japan and after four years there he
was transferred to Brazil as the first
American ambassador to that country.
In 1906 he became the American am
bassador to Italy.

If ut Were So.

If lit Were So.
How fine our life would run along,
Just like the music in a song
Or like train of Pullman cars,
With only soft and pleasant jars,
If things could happen every day
The way they work out in a play!
There everything is life and light,
The men are bold, the girls are bright.
Things for an act or two go wrong,
But in the end right comes out strong.
The hero always wins the bride,
With mirth and music on the side.
No one is bothered in the play
About small thing like his pay
One always has a roll of bills
That easily a pocket fills,
And if he ever should run shy
A checkbook brings a new supply.
The bill collectors never knock
To give the timid ones a shock
The only troubles on the mat
Pertain to love and things like that,
And even they have feeble power.
They come out right in half an hour.
OF course the villain does not fare
So we'll. But who for him would care?
He only serves to emphasize
That virtue draws the certain prize.
That the deserving wins the wife.
All. would that it We're so in Hfei
