The first Mexico Fair vas before
the war and the old fair ground was
located in Northeast Mexico and
near the last Chautauqna site. The
largest fair ever held here was in
1882 when there we're $40 horses on
the grounds and two world records
vsTs broken.
This was the first year Of the kite
shaped track and two fairs were held
One meeting was In August and the
other in October. Two worlds rec
ords were broken and at the August
meeting $4,000 IN purses were Of.
fered.
AT the October meeting. which
lasted IL days. there were Sc races;
two Of them $1,000 events and both
called Clark Stakes" after C. F.
Clark. who was active in arranging
them.
At the October meeting the great
PAGER, John R. Gentry. broke the
worlds record from 2:14 to 2:1S

other record was broken by a trotting

Farm labor question assumes big
proportions when the women in a
family have TO be requisitioned TO do
a mans work. Mrs. E. w. Rockwell,

this summer and assisted her hus-
band and son. Mrs. Rockwell is
a most rerineu and highly educated
woman and such work was new to
her.

STITCHING A HEART

A remarkable surgical operation is
reported from Philadelphia, where at
the Pennsylvania hospital man
named Joseph Spence was admitted
suffering from a bad knife stab re-
ceived in a quarrel. It was found that
his heart had been gashed, and DR..
Francis Stewart, the house surgeon
decided to attempt the delicate opera
ton of stitching up the injured organ.
This he accomplished successfully.
putting FIVE stitches in the mans
heart. and afterwards sewing up the
wound in his side.
DIR. Stewart was compelled practio-
ally to hold the mans heart In his
hand while inserting the stitches.
which to make the operation moro
delicate than ever, had to be inserted
between the heart beats. Spence was
then returned to the ward, and his re-
covery appears quite probable.

SOME GOOD SALADS
eossI6LY HERE ARE A FEW YOU
MAY NOT KNOW.
Calves Brains, Properly Prepared,
Make Delicious Sunday Night
Dlsh-ceIery Roots Another
Very Appetlzlng Salad.

Calves brains. plainly boiled in salt
and water. chilled on the ice, cut in
small dice and served on bed of ten
der lettuce with mayonnaise make a
delicious dish for Sunday night.
When there is no olive oil In the
house a hot salad may be made of
lettuce and bacon. Fry the bacon
which must be cut in cubes-a deli
cate brown, then throw 1t and the
greese all over the lettuce, adding
salt and pepper as needed. Use hot
vinegar.
Canned Pimentos-Spanish peppers
make salad as good to eat as it is
beautiful to look at. Open the can,
let it stand fifteen minutes for odors
to escape, and then turn contents in
to collander, running the cold water
over the rosy vegetables. Give them
a good wash, then drain carefully, and
| chill them thoroughly on the ice.
Serve on lettuce dressed with mayor
naise or French dressing. If the fam
lily is small whole can of the pimen-
tos will not be needed, but what is
left over from the salad will keep In
the ice box The washing is neces-
sary to get off the slime of the can
ming juices.
Celery roots make a very satisfac-
tory salad for those who want to feel
that they are really eating something.
They must be peeled and boiled till
tender. thoroughly chilled and dressed
with French dressing-olive oil, vine
gar, salt and pepper. OF course the
lettuce bed makes pretty finish and
adds a note of taste to the salad.
When the larder runs very dry, II
there are only some stale white bread
In the house and bit of garlic or
onion, still another salad is possible,
Toast the bread until 1t Is hard all
through, cut 1t up in small squares and
rub one with cut of onion or Glove
of garlic. Dress with French dressing
an hour before eating so the oil can
soak In and II there are two pieces of
pimento left from the can already
mentioned add them to the dish This
may seem a little messy to look at,
but It will taste all right
A sweet orange salad which turns
out very ornamental dish is made
by cutting the fruit in round, thin
slices and using rum and sugar for
the dressing. A banana salad, which
should be cut in lengthwise slices
and put on lettuce, would be dressed
with sugar and lemon Juice. Capers
add very excellent note to potato
salad. and give 1t a pretty look, while
any species Of lettuce may have the
usual taste immensely varied with a
raw egg dressing Beat the egg, white
and yolk together, till 1t runs freely:
add three teaspoonfuls OF sugar, salt
and pepper to taste, and tablespoon.
full or more Of cider vinegar. Then
let the dish stand until the edges of
the lettuce begin to wilt. A French
gourmand always fades" his salad In
this way before eating It.

The group of shot-like pellets ar

WILD DEER KICKS A MAN

Carl Muller, a member of party
of politicians returning to San Mateo,
Cal, from Halfmoon Bay, tried to
capture deer single handed near
Aqua lake. The deer kicked Muller
on the chin, rendering him uncon-
scious, and made its escape.
Five deer were in the road when
the automobile party. of which Dis
trict Attorney ]. ]. Bullock was a
member, approached. No one in the
party was armed. but Muller con-
ceived the idea o. capturing one Of
the animals alive.
He jumped from the automobile
and sneaked up to the herd. AS he
got within striking distance of a
young buck the animal let fly its
heels and caught Mr. Muller squarely
on the chin That ended the chase.
1t was five minutes before the deer
chaser could be resuscitated and the
trip resumed.

JOKE BY THE WIND.

strange freak Of the whirlwind in
Its tantrums was witnessed near Neuf-
chatel, Switzerland, some time ago. A
large field of barley had been reaped,
and the work of harvesting had just
begun. The first wagon was being
loaded when a sudden whirlwind al
most in an instant swept the whole
field clear. The grain rose to a great
height in the air, was then turned
over, and finally disappeared in the
distance, coming down in quite a diff
ferent district. So sudden was the &C.
currence that everything had disap-
peared while the amazed harvesters
stood with their implements in their
hands. From the whole field not so
much as one CARLOAD could be Sc
cured.

few Of these missiles reach us. In size,
meteors vary from a few ounces to
many pounds in weight, and 1t Is only
very occasionally that one is of suffi-
cient dimensions to survive the pas
sage of eighty to one hundred miles
through an atmosphere increasing in
density as the earth is approached.
The speed at which they enter the at
mosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles a second, generates
such intense heat by friction that the
iron of which the meteor principally
consists is Immediately reduced to an
incandescent vapor, which is the lu-
minous train so frequently seen in the
heavens on a clear night. The vapor
rapidly cools, and condenses in the
form of these minute particles, which
assume the spherical form as does
shot during its fall from the top of
the tower. Finally, the little spheres
are scattered by the winds and cur
rents in the upper regions, and gradu.
ally descend In their millions as an In
visible but never-ending shower.

PECULIAR MlsHAP TO HAWK

One day while looking after these

very big yellow hawk swoop down
on one of the traps.
The bird was caught sure enough,
and while 1t was struggling to free IT
self from the trap. the slender wire
chain was torn from the fastening
and away the hawk flew, carrying
with it the trap and chain-both dan

very large yellow hawk. Securely at

The feeding habits of toads and
frogs are closely related to their
method of spending the winter.
During the summer food is stored
in the body in the form of fat, in
the liver in the form of glycogen, a
form of sugar, and in the muscles.
In the fall, on the approach of cold
weather, they bury themselves below
the frost line and slowly use their
stored-up food.
The temperature of the body rs only
slightly above the surrounding earth,
and they may be partially frozen even
and revive. During Information they
cease to breathe by using the lungs
and breathe through the skin; the
beating of the heart and the circula-
tion slow down, so that a very small
amount of food and oxygen is suffi-
cient.

capes the extreme heat in the day

Toads have been found to be friends
of the farmer
They feed entirely upon an incred-
ible number of insects. The federal
department of agriculture, investigat-
ing the toad. discovers the startling
fact that in "a hours hours the insect
food consumed by one toad equals In
quantity four times the capacity of its
stomach, which is practically filled
and emptied four times every "a
hours. One hundred and fifty-nine
stomachs examined by the depart
ment showed a content of 10 per
cent. of ants; 16 per cent. of cut
worms; 10 per cent. of thousand
legged worms; per cent. caterpil-
lars, per cent. of ground beetles; 8
