MISSOURI STATE FAIR
FUTURrTY STAKES.

The Missouri State Fair IN offer
ing futurity stakes for Missouri
foals of 1909, to be contested ut the
annual exhibition In 1912. The flu
turity stakes Is offered for the pur-
pose of encouraging the improve
ment of harness horses of the State.
While the stake guaranteed il small
the full amount of all money col
lccteG on account Of this futurity
stake is to he divided amongst the
winners, and we confidently expect
such patronage from Missouri
breeders as will make 1t worth n
much larger sum. The stake would
amount to more money II open to
the world, but the directors of the
Fair think best, for the present at
least, to conflne entries to Missouri
mares and stimulate the horse
breeding industry at home.
II costs but $500 to nominate a
mare and before the next payment
is due an intelligent estimate OF the
foal and it's racing qualities may be
! formed.
An engagement OF fOals In Turtles
will enable you to sell them more
readily and for money. 1t will guar
antee better speed, which will large
ly increase the value Of the foal, the
sire and the dam.
Every mare in Missouri is eligible
to entry, and in the event Of acct
dent another foal may be substituted
not later than January |, 1910.
1t is expected that IA similar stake
will be opened for 1910 and will be
made IA permanent State Fair fca-
,ture.
Entries must De made on or be-
fore May LIST, 1909, accompanied by
an entry fee of $500 for each entry;
and ut this date the name and breed
iug of the sire and dam of the foal
must be given. Each entry must
oc dated and signed by the nomi-
uator.
On January /, 1910, If the owner
wishes to keep his nomination
alive, an additional payment of
$500 is required and at this date the
name, color and sex of foal must be
given. In the event the dam nomi-
mated should prove barren, slip or
produce II dead fOal or twins, or II
foal dies, a substitute may be named
ut this date.
On January |, 1911, another pay
mcnt of $500 is required aud no fur
Their fee will he due until June IL.
lGl2, when all starters must pay a
Zee of $1,000 and an additional two
per cent of the stake commended for
ON the morning the race is called,
The stake will be divided equally
h"twceu Il class for trOttcrs and one
for PAGERS. HOBBIES ARE BARRED.
Both the trotting and pacing race
will be mile heats, two best in three
and governed by the rules of the
American TrOtting Association.

LINCoLNs GETTYSBURG SPEECH


The Philadelphia North American
says: Colonel Henry Clay Cuch-
ranc, of Chester, retired officer Of
the United States marine corps
made the assertion yesterday in an
address ON Abraham Lincoln, be-
fore the Methodist Episcopal Preach
crs' Association, I0lS Arch street y,
/ that the report of LincOln's famous
Gettysburg speech, as it appears to-
day, is not as the martyrcd Prcsi-
dent delivered 1t. THE speech as
quoted today, declared Colonel Co
chranc, contains rcvisions in thir-
teen different places. President Lin
coin himself revised the address,
adding word or two her" and there
and taking out one or two. 1t was
! several weeks after the address that
| its Significance as one of the greatest
pieces Of modern English literature
] became apparent. There were only
I about 80 words and II took Lincoln
just two minutes, actual time, to
/ deliver 1t. when its worth became
apparent, there came to Lincoln re-
quests from every section for an ac-
curatc copy Of the original. In max
/ ing the copies Lincoln changed the
wording here and there, but retained
its general thought. ] have compar-
ed copy of the original speech
with that now generally quoted, and
| | have found thirteen changes in II.
/ Colonel Cochrane Is the only sur
vivor of the eleven public officers and
army men who formed Lincoln u
personal escort from Washington to
Gettysburg. He is also the only
survivor among the men who sat on
| the platform with the emancipation. "

AN INTRICATE PROBLEM

The Geneva (Neb.) Gazette says:
J. n. Taylor brought to this Office "A
copy of his old home paper, the
Adams County Record, In which a
fish story that has caused consider
able 'figgerin' is published. The
problem is as follows:
Work out the following problem
without any help, and report to this
office. Charley met his friend James
upon the street and told him that he
had been fishing. How many fish
did you catch?' asked James. Char
ley replied: II to the number of the
books Of the Old Testament you add
the number of the books of the New
Testament; multiply that by the
number of apostles who were present
mt the TRANSPORTATION; divide by the
number Of books written by Luke;
subtract the number of times the
lsraelites marched around Jericho ;
multiply by the number of pieces of
silver Judas received for betraying
Christ; divide by the number of
spies Moses sent into Canaan; add
the number of letters in the name
of the city In which man climbed
up tree to see Christ; divide by
the number of apostles that were
called the Sons OF Thunder the
answer will be the number of fish !
caught The problem has caused
all Bible students in that vicinity to
sit up and get busy and the paper
has n column or so Of answers to
the same. If you are good at Bible
lore and also at mathematics get
busy on this one.

so feeble that have had to be
wheeled around in an invalid Is

cold at the slightest provocation

and cough would result. My son
learned of the cod liver preparation

DADDY KNOWS,

Ancnt the Ruth Bryan Leavitt d.
vorce, William Allen White wrote
this little classic Daddy" "The
moral Of the Bryan girls tragedy is
that Daddy knows. He sees men
every day In all of the aspects. He
sees good men. He sees bad men,
who have some good In them. He
sees designing men and weak men,
and all sorts and conditions OF men.
And he knows. More than that,
his heart Is just as soft as yours,
and If the man is any kind Of n man
you will be happy, but Daddy
knows.
"Trust him. Believe that IL there
is any show for you at all Daddy
won't object. Daddy is not the
crank he seems. Daddy wants YOU
to be happy. He has all the high
hopes for you that you have for
yourself, and when Daddy says no
Daddy knows. If girls would only
remember that this would he II
brighter, happier world For Daddy
who isn't of much use around the
house and is generally supposed to
be considerable of an it one WAY

seems to have forgotten all about
the golden land of true romance in
which youth lives, old Daddy's
memory is long, and his soul is
wrapped up in you, my dear Daddy
