BUILDING OF A wITIcIsM.
Point of Joke the Same Though
 Under Changed Conditions.

The Bohemian had an article enti- tied, How a Joke Is Made" In it Marshall P. Wilder, the well known humorist, cites this story as an illus tration of one method. Here is story with joke in 1t about Labou- chere. the genial editor of London Truth When he was standing for the borough of Northampton for the English parliament a little girl came up to her father and said: Papa, who made Mir. LabouchereT Why, Provi- dence, my dear answered the some what astonished parent And what for, papa?' inquiries the child. Now that isn't bad joke. It was natural, anyway. But listen to one of mine, which really has the same point, though 1t is brought out in a different way. A child and her mother are on the cars. Opposite them sits a young man dressed in the height of fashion. Says the child: Mamma, what Is thatT and, as she asks the question, she points to the young man opposite. Hush, my dear answers the mother. But. mother. want to know. To quiet the chad tho mother whispers in her ear: He is what we call dude, dear The child persists as usual in gaining some more information. And who made him. fmammag Why, Providence. dear. of course replies the mother sotto voice, whereat the child exelaims: oh, mother. doesn't Providence like to have fun some hmesT You see. the stories are real ly alike.

 FAIR PLANS
 B|G THIS YEAR
Racing to Be Among Chief Events on Program-Many Unusual Attractions Will Be Provided.
(speciai 10 the Review.)


 PHOENIX, Ariz., July 1S.-Th- dates for the next Arizona Territorial Fair have been set for November 9- IA, inclusive. The commissioners, J. c. Adams, B. A. Packard and H. c Loekett have held a preliminary meet ing, the secretary, R. A. Kirk. has opened offices in the Adams hotel and preparations are well under way to make the fourth annual territorial fair the best and most attractive ever held west of the Mississippi river.
 The racing events will as usual be .Cne of the big features of the fair and the number and class of the entries promises to be larger and better than usual owing to the fact that bigger purses are to be offered. There will be the usual class events for trctters and pacers for purses of S1.000 and there will also be a free for all trot and free for all pace for which the commissioners have offered purses of S2,000 each. These events will un- doubtedly attract the best horses from all of the racing circuits when it is realized that the purses hung up by most of the associations range from $500 to $500.
 It is the intentidl of the commisJ sioners to provide for many varied and unusual attractions for fair week. principal of which will be the most up to date and successful air ship in existence today. Flights of the air ship will be given daily and this at- traction will without doubt prove enc of the most interesting and instruc- tive exhibitions of the big fair.
 The exhibits for the forthcoming fair promise to be bigger and more attractive than ever, as even at this early date many applications have been received for space in the several departments.

nEN WAS A kITTENNAPPER.
Tried to Adopt a Litter and Battled
 with Mother Cat.

WiIkesbarre, Pa--An old hen owned by Alonzo Mauser of Grovania, near he.e, has the maternal instinct so strongly developed that the other day, having failed to mother anything else, she tried to adopt nestfuI of young kittens, and fought stoutly for their possession with the mother cat.
 For the last two weeks the hen has tried in every way that her brain could suggest to nest on every egg she found, but Mauser did not want her to hatch and repeatedly threw her of nests which she had made. He had a daily fight with her over the matter.
 The hen discovered the other day that the mother of a litter of kittens had left them for few moments, and she promptly took them for her own. When the mother cat returned there was a battle until Mauser, attracted by the noise, arrived and locked the hen in a coop.
