at is splendid opportunity for
the Democrats" declared Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon. the state
where many progressive measures have
been fostered. The Republicans will
surely reject the presidential prefer
ence primary, and the Democrats
should take it up. 1t will be the best
thing that could happen"
1t is not to be expected that the
Democrats will take the advice of
Chamberlain, although the party is
generally committed to the primary
system, especially in the south.
Feasible For Democrats.
Presidential primaries are feasible
for the Democrats, but not for the Re-
publicans. Think of the Republicans
undertaking to hold primaries in the
southern states! Why. it costs enough
now to manipulate the colored broth
er with the close corporation method
used. If there was a primary no one
could tell what would happen. AS the
negro is not an element in Democratic
politics, the primary would work very
well for that party-if the party man
ayers want it.

at all disturbed over their return to

Setember 1915, this year promises to
far exceed any heretofore given. by

attractions this year will be new ones
and seen only at the big state fairs
as each foreign attraction has been
secured only by the quick work OF
this organization and the payment OF
the price that only tie larger fairs
have heretofore dared to attempt to
pay. Their races this year will nearly
be double in number and each purse
is much larger than any they have
offered before. There will be at least
two more harness races and two rum
ming races each day besides the far
mers race, chariot race, and some
fancy riding on educated horses.
The racing feature alone will be
we'll worth going miles to see, but
that portion Is only a starter, for

given for all classes Of agricultural
and stock displays will not be equal.

this year in far greater numbers than
any previous year, and their dances,
etc., will prove as interesting as they
have always been in the past even to
the oldtimers.
The services of the peerless little
Curttss aviator, Lucky" Bob st. Hen
ry who has made 80 many thrilling
and spectacular flights over this state
have been secured to make three
flights on each day of the fair and
those who saw him In Mandan last
June will remember this daring little
birdman and will no doubt give him
the hearty welcome that he has
earned. St. Henry. has bad very
interesting and successful tour in the
Northwestern states and Canada this
year and Is booked solid for the bal.
ance of the season. He has never
failed yet to fill a contract to the
fullest satisfaction of all concerned,
and It was only added effort on the
part of the fair association that he
consented to return from Montana
and make flights at this fair. The
Fair management have secured spe-

that those that miss this fair will miss
the best and biggest fair ever held in

all along had a sort of sneaking idea
that had a little more than my share
Of manly beauty; that when it came
to a showdown I was there with the

And my wife's present did it. What
was it? Why. simply one Of those
shaving glasses that magnify three
times. The first time I used it got a
view Of my face that rather startled
me. Every blemish, every wild hair
under the skin. every open pore. all the
minute ugliness that isn't apparent to
the naked eye-these things confronted
me in all their magnified responsiveness.
I used the glass just once and then &C.
cidentally dropped it down the air

A Cow For q Life.
The Ober Gabelhorn IS a peak no
torious for the dangerous cornices
which decorate its upper ridges. OF
many accidents reported in connection
with it perhaps. the most remarkable,
says G.. D. Abraham in "Swiss Noun
tain Climbs" was the adventure which
befell an amateur and his young guide.
In passing along the dangerous final
cornice it suddenly gave way under
the amateur, and he went flying
through space to apparent destruction.
The guide at the other end Of the rope
seemed in hopeless plight. but with
astounding presence of mind he flung
himself down the opposite side Of the
ridge, thus saving two lives. The rope
cut deep into the snow above, but held
firm. The young guides name was
Ulrich Almer. His reward was COW.

Il Loomsd Up Large In Napeison's
Treatment Of Children.
Napoleon had a singular rage for
pulling childrens ears. sometimes so
hard as to make the poor children cry.
Caroline was very vexed when she
saw her little Achille the victim Of his
uncle's caresses, and more than once
her sons tears made her weep too.
One day the First Consul, pulling the
ears of the little fellow, hurt him, and
he cried out. To teach him not to cry
his, uncle pulled his ear again, harder:
Achille, having freed himself, came
back to him in a fury and, raising his
little fist, shouted:
"You are a villain. 4 wicked, wicked
villainr'
To prove the contrary Napoleon
should have embraced his nephew and
made him forget the pain he had gra-
tuitously inflicted by some show of af-
lection. But, tenderness was not in
his character. Corsicans scarcely know
what it means. and, though Napoleon
used to say. II am less of a Corsican
than one Thinks" he was really more
so than any one or he himself thought.
Instead Of quieting his nephew he be-
came angry and gave him a violent
slap on the face. The child ran weep

episode, "she made to control her feel

creature and acted like all parents who
spoiled their children" - Turquan's

Old Time SMALLPOX Cure.

To cure smallpox was apparently a
very simple matter in the good old
times. John Of Gaddesden, court doc
tor to Edward H., has recorded that
he got rid of the disease by the simple
expedient Of wrapping his patients in
red cloth.
LET scarlet red be TAKEN" he says.
"and let him who is suffering small
pox be entirely wrapped in It or in
some other red cloth. l did this when
the SOD Of the illustrious king of Eng
land suffered from smallpox. took
care that all about his bed should be
red, and that cure succeeded very
well."-LondOn Chronicle.
