!. TIE DARBURY FAIR
A Great Harvest Festival-Many New and Interesting Features

The great Danbury Fair will open it's forty first annual exhibition Tues day. Oct. 4. and continue the bal
 ance of the week. It comes happily
 at the end of harvest, just when the
 people of rural communities are turn
 ing their attention . to recrea tion and
 the dwel1ers in cities are preparing
 ages to the country. It is the GUS
 tom of the farmers and the villagers
 and the cityifes from all over the
 great and prosperous stretch of eoun-
 try bordered on the east by the Con
 necticut river, on the west by the
 Hudson, on the north by the Vermont
 state line and on the south by Long
 Island Sound and the Battery to gath
 CT together by thousandsf at the Dan
 bury Fair and nfngle and enjoy the
 sights to be witnessed on these beau ltifully situated grounds. It is the one big time or the year with many families who go to this mecca by all
 the known methods of transportaz
 ton. More than two thousand autos
 were parked on the grounds last year and the prospects are that that great
 number will be exceeded this year. as
 many .sstateI roads have been brought
 closer to the fair and many more au-
 tos are in use. Fifty excursion trains each day of the fair will unload their crowds at the railway gates, and there is always an endless chain Of crowded cars approaching the trolley
 entrances. The horse-drawn vehicles are almost nunbefleSS, many coming from great distances, and their pas-5l sengerss undergoing tiresorne journeys. but all returning home greatly rel .freshed and well repaid by the many
 stirring and interesting sights at
 Southern New Fngland's foremost
 agricultural exhibition" as this big
 fair has come to be known to the nai1 lion and a half of people who have
 attended in the last twenty-five years.
 The Danbury5s Fair glorifies the great agricultural and industrial
 achievements<of of the people of western Connecticut and eastern New York state, and shows in a graphic way
 their progress of the year in all lines of useful endeavor, as their best ef-
 forts are here brought into conpeti- tion with those of their neighbors.
 The fair is an educational force far-reaching in it's effects in a prac- tical way A thoughtful survey of the people who are studying the in dustrial exhibits in the buildings and the agricultural displays and demon and in machinery hall with it's hun dreds of whirring wheels, will soon satisfy the most casual observer that thousands of people attend the fair to learn how to achieve greater success in their occupation.
 The Danbury Fair of 1910 will also offer the cream of light and healthy recreation. There will be aeropIane flights. band concerts, horse races. au- tonobile races, rnid-air attractions, a l new midway. a large new automobile | exhibition hall horse and cattle show, l features and a thousand 1 and one things to anause, instruct and 1  . Great is the Danbury Fair!

Tlae Practical Goat.

M. Jules Renard was the mayor of Corbigny. in the Nievre. Every Sun day he contributed to the Journal de CIamecy. dnd this is the sort of things he used to give Ehe peasants. Writing of the Jourpal OmcieI, posted up on the wall of the maiEie and which no one ever reads. he said:
 .sI had forgotten the goats. One of them never misses number. Standing on it's hind legs. with its front legs resting on rhe poster. 1t moves it's horns and beard from right to left, like an old woman reading. When it has finished reading. as the official sheet has an appeIiziDg smell of fresh paste. the goat eats if. After nourish- ing the mind one must feed the body. Thus pothing is lost in the commune. What a pity that all novel readers have not the stomach of this practical goat! They might then eat the books they had read. buy more. and so the man of letters would in the end be able to eat in his turn."-Paris Letter to London Globe.

HANDCUFFs.
Various Devices That Have Been Used

In Vergil is to be found the first re-

cuffs, for the poet tells us that Proteus
was thus fettered and rendered DOW
erless by Aris,aeus. who apparently
knew that even the gods themselves
were not proof against this form of
persuasion.

of victorious Greeks found several

minister:
.'The conference between the repre-
sentatiVes of the United States and
Canada on the subject of improved
trade relations terminated today. The
conference began on Saturday, the 0th
inst. and was continued on Monday,

Messrs. Hoyt, Pepper and Foster, rep
resenting the United States, and
Messrs. Fielding and Patterson, repre-
sentfng Canada, separated with the
strong hope that on the resumption OF
the conference at Washington an ar
rangement can be reached that Will
prove acceptable to people on both

agreement The feeling in Ottawa is
that natural products from Canada VIII
be given easier access TO the United
states and that some American manu-
features will be given freer admission
to Canada.
