Tony at the Fair

According to promise, 1 will endeavor to write you a few lines. We sailed on the s. s. Jefferson June 10th, and after a very short and speedy trip of less than three days on the beautiful steamer we came to our journeys end, having received most courteous treat ment from Capt Nord, Purser Morgan and the rest of the crew. When we made fast to the dock there was an i'm mense crowd to receive us with open arms and longing arms-something un- usual to my way of thiuking-but it wasn't that at all, it was the Seattle Spirit" to receive the cold cash and gold that was aboard, nearly three mil lion.
 We'll, Seattle certainly is up to date; anything you want is there as long as you have the mazuma to pay for it, and pay you must or else they don't know you. The people that throng First and Second avenues as we'll we'll as Third and Pike will surprise most any one-it's wonderful. Street cars after cars are taking more passengers than they ought to, in fact they pack them like smoked herring in box. It puts me thinking of a new idea, no patent this time mind you, as 1 have already received three of them; nu, l mean smoking. They are getting plumb daffy down here. saw them arrest a fellow the other day at the grounds for smoking cigarette, and then fined him besides for throwing the stub on the sidewalk. We'll, suppose the next thing the Seattle Spirit will do is to get up law prohibiting the smoking of herring.
 The first thing I thought when l ar rived at the gate of the fair was that had passed through bunch of South Carolina mules fed on oats the way those pesky automobiles behaved. There are autos in front of you and autos behind you, there are autos along side of you that snort and snort until they find you.
 Here is the, magnificent arch, en-

trance to the fair, only half past seven in the morning (the gates open at 5, and already l could count more than 5000 people with their hands in their pockets to dig up. Twenty-four turn stiles at this entrance alone, everyone presided over by guard. Two pretty little structures in front of the gate where money can be made into correct change, 5C cent pieces, where a very natty uniformed official very politely informs different country people to have the correct change ready to avoid delay. Having an ear for anything that sounded so very polite from an of ficial, 1 turned my face towards him and, sure enough, it was Mir. Gleeson, lately with the Treadwell Go. We'll, that accounted for it, anything from our Island sounds good to me, aud l think the Seattle Spirit is of the same opinion. Mir. Gleeson certainly is a fine appearing official with his badge of the AMP.
 Inside the gate, what wonderful sight!-most magnificent asphaltum walks winding around scores Iof beautiful buildings everywhere, every one of them surrounded by natural fir trees and beds of flowers too exquisite to be forgotten-the fragrance of them strikes one, after a refreshing morning dew. Even the totem poles are inn proved because when you walk down to the Pay Streak they blink at you along both sides of the walk with red and green eyes.
 The Pay Streak is paudemonium. Couldn't afford to pass them all by on my first visit, so there you are! went in with a crowd to see. the Streets of Cairo. l must have looked good to some of the swarthy fellows dressed up like Turks. One little fellow was very persistent that should climb aboard a camel. "Nothing doing," says l, so he took hold of my coat-it got kind of personal. It seemed to me had seen the fellow before, and sure 1 had. Says 1 to him, "And do you like driving camels better than shoveling at Tread we'll, MT. Miro Jurovich?" "Oh, is that you, MT. Steward? I don't forget you; no got mustache no more?"
 The next thing 1 went in to (this was the Pay Streak, you know, as the other exposition closes at 6 p. m.) was laugh able also. Two old maids, after being taken in for 30 cents reviewing this booth, wanted to know where they would get the ring. It said at the door a ring goes with every ticket. They got. The spieler politely said, Ger tainly, ladies'" He stepped back and rung bell Ga ring with every ticket you know), and the crowd ha-haed. hear them yet. More next week.

Voting Machine Bill Passes.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April.-By q
vote OF 20 to 2 the Senate adopted q
joint and concurrent resolution By
Senator Methudy, Of st. Louis, un-

voting machines. The resolution
provides for the submission of con-

election validating the use OF such
machines. The measure does not
mention any particular device, but
provides for the adoption OF some
mechanical construction for receiv.
ing and counting ballots, such as
will meet with the requirements OF
law regarding the secrecy of the bal.

Although there Is no statewide

there was q stampede for the door

Dodging the Law.

Perhaps 1t has occurred to you
that 1t you should forge a check, or
rob q bank, or kill a man, that you
are clever enough to dodge the Law.
Probably such is not the case, but,
at any rate, It is folly to encourage
the idea. Berry Simpson believed he
could dodge the arm OF the law Tor q
part he played in q riot at Stearns,
KY, last winter, In which several
men were killed. And he substsn-
tiated bis belief by doing 1t. But
being hunted is about as bad as be-
Ing caught. Indeed, Simpson found
it worse, and came In and surrender.

that is what usually happens to
criminals; they are caught, or they
find the escape and pursuit too much
and give up. And, In a measure, the
rule applies to evil doors who keep
within the pale OF the law. They art
found out, and despised and distrust
ed, or, escaping the fate, they still
have conscience. There isn't much

Back to the Farm.

In all the depression OF the last
two years, farm products have re-
manned high, and even now, with the
hard times at their height, wheat
and other grains are advancing TO
dizzy figures. This makes the "back-
to-the.iarm" idea all the more logic
al. The report OF the State Board OF
Equalization shows that there Is an
actual decrease In the number OF
acres under cultivation in Missouri.
Missouri's growth has lopg been con.
fined to the cities. This is an I'M
natural condition, and means suffer-
ing and failure to thousands who go
into big towns with an idea that
money can be made easy, says the
Springfield Leader.
A dozen years ago farming was
about as poor a business as one
could engage In, but that condition
has changed. The farmer is not d
millionaire, 1t Is true, but he stands
about as much chance OF becoming
one as the average city man who is
working for salary or In a small
business. Prices II the farm will
never again reach their low level OF
years ago, and the man who PUSHES
80 town now Is changing just when
ha skould not
