The state fair opened Monday and
from all accounts the big show is even
better than it was promised it would
be and that is saying good, deal.
The state has spent much money ON
the Improvement of the grounds and
the board of managers has worked un-
ceasingly to raise the standard of ex-
hibits in every department and if the
enterprise receives the support it de-
serves from the people of the state
it will surpass any state fair in the
country. The attendance the first day
was a record breaker and with any
kind Of favorable weather there is
every indication that the fair will be
an unqualified success this year.

that Kenosha will ask for another ses-

The mere fact that a man has a
hunting license issued by the state in
his pocket does not give him the right
to shoot anything that flies, but it will
take one or two sharp lessons in the
municipal court to convince some of
the foreigners who have been in the
habit of invading the farms in the vi
entity of the city that they cannot
indulge in an indiscriminate slaughter
of all kinds of birds, even though they
have taken the precaution to procure
license.
The farmers are beginning to real
ize that the song birds which destroy
the insect pests are one Of the most
valuable assets on their farms, and
most Of them are resolved that there
shall never again be such a slaughter
of these birds as took place last fall.
The bags of the alleged sportsmen"
are going to be more carefully exam
med from now on than they ever have
been before, and an effort Will be
made to see to it that these birds get
the protection they are entitled to I'M
der the law. 1t is business PROPOSE
ton with most of the men who have
announced their intention of protect
ing the birds and for that reason there
is a better prospect that the law will
be more strictly enforced in this re-
spect than it ever has been before.

In case the city is unable to come
to some agreement with the street
railway company in regard to the
liability Of the company for the cost
Of the pavement between the switch
tracks on Market Square it might be
well to have that part Of the fran
chise under which the company is
operated which is supposed to fix the
liability Of the company for paving
costs construed by the courts. Unless
this matter is settled in some way it
will keep cropping up in the future
and it will not cost any more to have
it passed on now than later.

Every paved street of the city
where the pavement has been down
any length of time shows plainly the
marks of the workmen who have had
occasion to dig up the pavement from
time to time not in one but in doz-
ems Of places, and all the people of
the city will thoroughly approve of
any measures which may be taken by
the Council to force those responsible
for the damage to repair it. Some of
the streets are a sight and the pave
ment on them is in such condition
that it is positively dangerous to drive
over them faster than walk. The
Council seems to have selected the
gas company as the object of it's first
attack in the effort that is to be made
to repair the pavements, but this is
only beginning, let us hope. The city
should treat all alike in this matter
and keep up its attacks to force re-
pairs in any way that is deemed the
most effective by the aldermen, until
every public service corporation, firm,
or Individual responsible for any part
of the damage has been made to paw
for it. This matter has been allowed
to rest too long, and the signs that
the Council is about to wake ND and
do something are being hailed with
general approval all over the city.
After pavement has once been torn
up it can never be put back in as good
condition as it was originally. and no.
body expects that it will be, but it is
nonsense for any individual or any Of
fcer of a corporation to maintain that
all has been done that can be done in
the way of repairs or that the condi-
tion of all the paved streets would
not be greatly improved should those
responsible fora the damage that has
been done by opening them make an
honest effort to repair it.

GOOD WORK is LOVED WORK
contentment That ls Chief
Part of Life.

II a man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make 1t attractive to him.
THE man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment out of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets a great part of his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks.
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligently. So these
things always go ogether-honest
work. contentment and love of the job.

The Vacant Chair.

What sad memories linger around
the old vacant chair. Sitting in the
middle of the floor, with a plaintive
look about its frayed and seemingly
weary back, it brings back tumultu-
nus riot of sad recollections that time
can never efface. Volumes of bitter
anguish come to me when l arrive
home in time to catch the milkman
swiping the loose furniture around the
place, and take off my shoes to avoid
publicity, and strike my best toe
against the rocker of the old vacant
chair. Then, forgetting for the mo-
ment my unclad feet kick the chair
on the other rocker. That is when
the sadness and suffering that fingers
around the old chair comes out with
an extra edition and great chunks of
gloom settle over me like herd of ill.

SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE
THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN.
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up in the Provinces of Manitoba, |
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov.
inces that compose Central Canada |
have such a quantity OF land suitable !
for the growth of small grains, which |
grow so abundantly, and yield so hand |
somely that no fear need be feared |
of wheat famine on this Continent |
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiva-
ton of the lands in these provinces.
Almost any section Of the country will
do as well.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break 1t
up and crop it, make $1755O out of
the yield and S10,SSO out of the increase
of value all within the short period
of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, a well known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the $40 acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 900
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats.
The wheat yielded 1875 bushels, and
the oats yielded ALSO bushels. The
whole of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth ST., $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $35 an acre,
just a ST. advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost $11,32O in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures of the case.-Land cost, GAO
acres, at SIS, $11,32O. Wheat yielded
1885 bushels, at 81 cents a bushel,
S16,695. Oats yielded 1850 bushels
at rs cents a bushel, 1855. Offered
for land, $40 acres at $35 an acre,
S22, 400. Increase value of land, S1O,SSO
Total earnings of crop, $780, togeth-
er with increase in value of land a to-
tai of $2S,54O.
It is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 33h bushels to the acre, and
oats 1887 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are fair indication of the aver

Mrs. Wilton'S Expectations

Mrs. Wilton sat in consultation
with her three daughters the day aft
er her husbands funeral. She had
been a great belle in her girlhood-
q large ford woman, with an abun-
dance of blonde hair The two elder
girls, Cecilia and Edith, resembled
her, both in appearance and in the
indolent good nature which was their
mothers chief characteristic. Susan,
the younger, had. been named by her
father for his mother, and the name
suited her. She reminded one of
some plain, old-fashioned flower. She
had been born with the instinct of
helpfulness, and all her life had been
ready to do the tasks which others
shirked, or over which they rebelled
and grumbled.
Her husbands sudden death had
been an overwhelming blow to Mrs.
Wilton. She was as helpless as a
baby, and the two elder daughters
scarcely less dependent; there was
nothing by which either of the two
might have added to their income.
