Here in Maine the State is generous
in its aid to our many agricultural
fairs, State and county, but Maine's
generosity to these institutions is small
inGeed compared with that which the
great Empire State extends. The New
York legislature has just appropriated
the vast sum of $27S,OOO for new build
ings and improvements for the state
fair grounds at Syracuse. This does
not of necessity indicate that the agri-
cultural interests of New York are
more important to that state than
those of Maine are to this State, or tha;
the fairs of New York have relatively
higher standing, but is rather the re-
suit of the bigger scale upon which
they do things there.

TWO NOVEL CHARITIES.
Music for the Slums and Horse
Parade for Truckmen.

Two of the most interesting benevo-
lent movements now operated in New
York were started by Mrs. James Spey-
err. One is the Peoples Symphony Con-
certs, the other is the WOman's Aux
iliary of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
About nine years ago Mrs. Speyer in
tile interests of the poor children of the
East Side, helped to organize must
school in the University Settlement
building in Rivington street, where 1T
tie, music hungry Poles, Russians. and
Italians might get a half-hOur music
lesson on violin or piano for dime.
That was the beginning of movment

dren of the tenements. -t
Mrs. Speyer's later project. launched
less than two years ago. is to give that
part of the public not able to pay a
large price for seat the privilege OF
hearing the highest class Instrumental
music interpreted by the most skilled
musicians by paying from 10 to Sc
cents. -Four or five concerts will con-
tinue to be given every winter and all
the extra expense will be paid by Mrs
Speyer
A good many persons are aware that
Mrs. Speyer is an opera box owner and
one of the constant attendants al
grand opera performances; also that
she is included in the company of wo-
men whose clothes and jewels are spo-
ken of as representing a climax OF
cost and elegance. But their knowledge

For This One Day.

For this one day
Grant us sight to see the road ,
Creep plainly, on our winding way.
Grant us strength to bear the load,
For this one day.
For this one day
Guide our feet the road along,
Let not our weary footsteps stray:
Give MS to lift a stave Of song,
For this one day.
For this one day
Let us not see the mud beneath,
But know the gold above the gray :,
And smell 1.-The wind upon the HEARTH
For this one day.
For this one day .-.
When bowed at eve for benson,
Grant that upon the uphill way
Our passing smile has gladdened one,
On this one day.

It is said that there are still II log
schoolhouses in use in the state Of New

such surviving here in Maine. There

but they were followed by the famous

have been pretty we'll replaced by more
modern structures.

surgical instruments, tcturates, patent
medicines, etc., also contains a stock of
nifty stationery, diversion of post cards
which will appeal to all prospective pur-
chasers, and a line of school supplies
which includes every known want of the
Juvenile or the advanced student.
The City Drug Store, with the influence
of it's proprietors, is doing it's share to
promote the welfare of Bemidji, one Of
the most substantial cities situated in
one of the richest farming and mos
scenic sections of the Northwest.
Much of the success of our city is due
to the fact that our business men are
progressive and so conduct their bust
ness that the successful life of our farm
ers are reflected through them to ont
siders who visit our city, and especially
homeseekers.
Mr.. R. F. People, who has charge of
the City Drug Store, is native of this
state, having first seen the light Of day
at Worthington, MINI. After two years
service in pharmacy in his home town,
he became freshman at the university
of Minnesota, from which he graduated
in 1895, after which time he clerked In
Duluth for several years, arriving here
two years ago, when he became associated
with the Owl Drug Store, bringing with
him the knowledge of skilled and
metropolitan training.
At present he is half owner of the
City Drug Store, and in company with
his business colleague, Mr.. French, he
has brought the bushes of the City Drug
Store to it's present high plane of popu-
larity and success.

The Streeter Laundry is pioneer institu-
tion that was established In the early days
of Bemidji and has grown in proportions
and usefulness as the city progressed along
advanced lines. This place of business is
now patronized by a large proportion Of the
residents of the city, which indicates the
popularity of the enterprise.
From small stand consisting practically
of one common wringer, a washtub and
clothesline in the open air, the Streeter
laundry has gained business and added up
todate machinery until it ranks well to the
front as place where washing is done In
thoroughly satisfactory manner.
Hudson Britton, the present proprietor Of
the Streeter Laundry, has since he assumed
the management of the concern, attended
strictly to the work of building up his enter
prise until he has large and increasing
patronage that is daily being added to. Mr..
Britton is square-dealing business man
who believes in giving the public its
moneys worth, and the quality Of work
turned out at the Streeter Laundry is ex-
tremely satisfactory in every respect.
For clean, sanitary laundry work, Mr..
Britton claims first rank, and his labors
along that line are duly appreciated.

THORsTEN THOMPSON.

Merchant tailoring in it's different
branches is more than profession-it is
an art. It means not only to fit man,
but it means to build his clothes in such
manner as to show his good points and
reduce his bad. Too few tailors possess
this really artistic faculty, but among
the few who do may be mentioned

Hounds Trail Barn Burner.

Bloodhounds owned by Messrs Lands
and Harris of Fairmont. followed the
trail from burned barn near Terra
Alta to the home of a man 90 miles
away. The barn was owned by James
Freeland.
A, 7 O'Clock Saturday evening the
barn on the Freeland farm was seen to
be on fire. All efforts to put out the
flames failed. The stock was taken out
but about 81, 900 worth of feed together
with the building was completely de-
stroyed, the total loss being about $500.
MIR. Lands with the Landis- Harris
bloodhounds arrived at the scene OF the
fire about 10 O'Clock Sunday morning.
The dogs followed clear trail for about
- miles and gave suspicion to a promi-
ncnt farmer OF that section. Bad blood
Is said to exist between Freeland and

about week will be asked to investi-
gate the charges and until that time the
