STATE FAIR AT PUEBLO

Never has southern Colombo
had an opportunity.to witness an
exposition Of such attractions as
will be presented at the Colorado
state fair, which opens in Pueblo
on September IS and continues
one week. The fair promises to be
the largest and most comprehen-
sive ever attempted in this section
Of the country and undoubtedly
will be attended by larger crowds
than ever witnessed similar fair
in this part Of the west.
There will be thousands OF WIS.,
itors in Pueblo at the time, at
tracted by the holding Of the great
Eighteenth National Irrigation
congress and the irrigation exposi-
ton, which will be the greatest
display Of irrigated products and
machinery ever given, and for this
reason counties, sections and indi-
viduals that are represented at the
state fair with exhibits will get
much greater advertising, and
have their displays viewed by
greater numbers of people than
ever before. This is one OF the
reasons why exhibitors will flock
TO Pueblo this fall in unprecedent-
ed numbers, and assure the largest
number of fine exhibits the Colo
RADIO state fair ever has shown.
Besides the high class exhibits
in large numbers, one Of the most
attractive and instructive features
will be the seroplane flights by
Hilliard Beachie, an aviator Of
note. Beaebie is to fly three days
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
dsy-and as his contract specifies
that he must fly in order TO earn
bis money and not content himself
with skimming along the ground,
there is no question that the finest
aeroplane exhibition ever seen in
the Rocky Mountain region will
take place during the state fair.
billiard Beachie is well known in
the world Of aviation and scored
his first real successes at the big
Los Angeles meet when he stamped
himself q master of his air craft.
The fact that the big Overland
park racing meet ends two days
before the starting of the State
fair makes possible the securing
OF some OF the best runners and
harness horses in this section for
the fair races. The speed pro-
gramme as arranged 10 good one,
and the purses are large enough
to attract horsemen with good
strings. There will be racing
throughout the week and, besides
the regular running and harness
events. there will be dashes and
relays for the cowboys and other
features that are bound to prove
popular.
Sharing honors with the horses,
the motorcyclists, the spccdicst in
tho state, will compete for valu.
able prizes that have been offered
for number OF events. A worlds
record was recently established in
this state, so It can be seen TINT
there arc no more daring nor
speedy riders anywhere than right
here in Colorado, and the best Of
them are going to compete during
fair week in Pueblo.
The horse show. which Is at
tracing much attention already,
Of the breeders and possessors Of
fine stock, will be the best ever
given at the State fair no doubt,
while the stock a. whole, judging

TARANTULA BITES
CLERK IN FINGER
Ralph WeckeI Has Disseminating En-.
periencc III Handling Bunch
of bananas.

Ralph Weckel who is employed at
the grocery of his father, Louis
Weckel. 1905 Third avenue, received
a bad scare this morning when he
withdrew his hand from a bunch of
bananas and found a tarantula cling
ing to one of his fingers. He quickly
shook the insect from his finger and
hurried to doctor to have the wound
dressed. 1t is not believed there
will be any serious results from the
bite
The tarantula is somewhat small
er than those usually found in
punches of bananas. 1t is now in
captivity at the Weckel store. 1t
will be killed and put into a jar of
alcohol and marked exhibit A. A
large quantity of tarantula eggs was
also found in the bunch of bananas.

Gondokoro, Sudan, on the upper
Nile, March 1-Colonel Roosevelt and
his son Kermit killed some 500 speci-
ments of large mammals in their hunt
ing expedition for the Smithsonian in
stitution. The bag includes the fol
lowing: II lions, IL elephants, 10
buffaloes, 10 black rhfnoceroses, 9
white rhinoceroses, hippopOtami, 9
CRATES, 8 leopards, Z cheetahs, 8
giant Glands, sables, sitatunga and
. bongos.
All these were killed in the interest
of science, and the specimens will be
disposed OF accordingly, the greater
number going to the Smithsonian in
stitution. Mr. Roosevelt will retain
not more than six trophies for himself.
From the point Of Importance, the
most highly priced game may be rated
as follows: First, the giant Glands, the
first complete specimens of which
family are now being taken from the
country; second, the white rhinocer-
oses; third, the bOngos, the first to be
stalked and killed by white man;
and, fourth, the sitatunga.
Take Thousands of Birds.
The naturalists secured a remarka-
BILE selection of thousands of birds
The results in this line have been
most gratifying and science will be
enriched by several new species and
an enormous series of the smaller
mammals of Africa. The game taken
and the collections made constitute a
worlds record for a similar period of
hunting and scientific research in At
RIGA, and the American museums will
receive the greatest collection of Afri-
can fauna in existence
All agree that too much praise can
not be accorded +. J. Cunninghame,
the Englishman. whose management
Of the expedition was as nearly per
feet as could be conceived
Colonel Roosevelt will now devote
his time to writing, including the
preparation of the addresses which he
is to deliver in Europe He will do
no more hunting unless during the
trip down the Nile chance throws in
his way an opportunity to secure some
rare specimens.

You struggled blindly for my soul
And wept for me such bitter tears.
That through your faith my faith grew
whole
And fearless of the coming years.
For in the path of doubt and dread
You would not let me walk alone.
But prayed the prayers I left unsaid
And sought the God l did disown.
You gave to me no word Of blame,
But wrapped me in your loves belief
Dear love, that burnt my sin like flame
And left me worthy Of your grief.
