Oh! sit around the campfire,
And listen with great glee.
AS we hear tho grand old stories
or our famous General Lee.
When the bngle called to hattie
How bravely he arose.
And though the muskets ratified,
Charged boldly on the foes.
Hoy he .honored the Confederate flag
And raised 1t up on high:
Though worn and tattered like rag
He loved it-for IT would brayely

A newly married couple in Water
ford, VT, were honored with sere-
made one night recently. The happy
bridegroom invited the company into
this house, and, after furnishing
them with refreshments, said he had
favor to ask. Upon their express
ing their willingness to serve him in
any way, he took Bible, and, select
ing chapter, requested each one to
read verse. The request somewhat
surprised our serenaders, for "read-
ing the scriptures" was not on the
program for that evening. How
ever, they read the verses with be-
coming gravity, but were taken call
aback" when he asked them to join
with him in prayer.

An uncanny incident occurred the
other morning in Gold Run, Cal. A
monster rattlemake lay on the front
porch of the residence of Mrs.
Charles Fitch for several hours,
while her children played on the
porch and in the front yard. The
youngsters paid little attention TO
the snake and the rattler lay appa-
rently unconscious Of their presence.
Mrs. Fitch spied the children's COM
panion and summoned farm hand,
who despatched it. 1t had nine rat

GERMANS IN THE HOLY LAND
Subjects Of the Kaiser Are Rapidly
Gaining Firm Foothold
In Palestine.

Tourists who visit the Holy Land
note the progress Of its Germaniza-
ton. On the road to Nazareth most
of the inns are kept by Germans
Nearly all the streets Of Jaffa have
the aspect of the Prussian village
The houses have red roofs and are
surrounded by the little garden 80
dear to Gretchen. Traces Of the
Teuton are everywhere. The Syrian
has been supplanted by the Berliner,
who has migrated from the banks OF
the Spree to the borders Of the Jor-
dan in order to make his fortune.
German is spoken everywhere.
The American consul himself is q
German. Souvenirs of the kaiser
abound everywhere. Here one shows
fountain that he erected to furnish
water to the pilgrims dying OF
thirst there is a road that he lev
elled to tighten the fatigue of the
journey. Enthusiastic guides show
on the Mount of the Ascension, be-
side an imprint attributed to the
Fhrist or to Mahomet, according to
ones faith, a human foot, well
marked in the rock, of which he will
confdentially murmur in the ear Of
the tourist: civilian ii. stepped
there" In hundred years perhaps
this will solidify into the legend OF
William lie Cri de Paris.

HORN Of PLENTY
At STATE FAIR
PANDORA's BOX WILL BE ri
VAILED BY OFFERINGS OF
RICH PRIZES.
WOMAN IN HER ELEMENT
Field, Seed and Grain Show TO Open
Eyes of Husbandmen-Boy's
Germ Clubs Favored.

A fortune in prizes, offered in con-
nection with regular exhibits, and any
number of special prizes offered as in
ducements to the people of Kentucky
to put the very best of their products
on display at the coming Kentucky
State Fair, is having the effect of in
| teresting exhibitors to an extent never
before known this early in advance.
But, aside from the actual money to
be obtained, there is that about the
preparations for the coming monster
exhibition which carries confidence
with it.
The Kentucky State Fairgrounds,
when occupied with all that Will go TO
make up the magnificent show to be
held for one week in September, DO
ginning on Monday, the 18th, and end.
ing at midnight Saturday, the 10th,
will provide an array OF feature suffi.
cient to tempt the interest and hold
the attention of any one seeking in
struction, entertainment and agrirul-
tural and technical uplift.
Dainty Needle Work.
Here articles of needle work, almost
endless in number, old fashioned blan.
kets or comfOrters, shawls, dainty ar.
ticles of feminine wear, all represent,
ing long hours of careful and painstak,
ing work, will be shown.
Another feature which will appeal
TO the women, as well as the men, is
the poultry department. This industry
has progressed wonderfully, even in
the past year, and to-day those in
Kentucky and Southern Indiana, who
are giving time and money to the rails
ing of wonderfully impressive speci-
mems in the poultry line, are numbered
by the thousands.
Then there is the Field, Seed and
Grain department The husbandman
who provides the food which sustains
the greatest nation of the earth will
be in his element when he reaches this
department next September, as Secre.
tary Shy has seen to it that especial
attention is TO be given the products
of the field.
Prizes For Best Cereal.
Prominent among the innovations
will be the Boys Corn Show, with
prizes sufficient to tempt the best of
the youthful corn growers. Already,
over the state, the rivalry is keen, and
the members of the different clubs are
striving with might and main to pro
duce specimens OF the cereal which
they hope will capture one OF more Of
the premiums.
The state has been divided into
three districts for the purposes OF the
corn show and the prizes will DO
awarded as to districts. Then, 10 cap
the climax, there will be grand
sweepstakes prize, which will cause
the boys from some sections of Ken
lucky TO return home after September
Is next, proudly bearing the trophy
which will be a fine tribute 10 their
skill and industry.
In connection with the Fled, Seed
and Grain. Poultry and Women's De
