and the important object sought to be
attained. They also recognized that
they occupied a strategic point in this
great growing southwestern country
for the development Of a Fair equal in
scope to the usual state supported.
state controlled State Fair and issued
their premium catalogue on this scope
and accepted the proffered support of
the breeding associations.
The legislature Of the state of Kan.
sas in 1903 realized the probability of
success which the Hutchinson Fair
would attain and passed an act au.
thorizing it to issue premiums in the
name Of the state, which should have
the same force and effect as the pre-
miums issued by the state fairs of
other states. This act reads as fol.
lows:
Be It enacted by the legislature of the
state Of Kansas:
Chapter z section s. That the Central
Kansas Fair association Is hereby author
lKed to police its fair grounds and to en-
force the rules and regulations Of said as
sociation.
Sec. G. Standing. That the fairs held
and the premiums awarded by the Central
Kansas Fair Association SHALL HAVE
THE SAME STANDING AS THOSE
GIVEN BY THE STATE FAIRS OF
OTHER STATES.
The managers of the Fair at Hutch.
inson then had the right to call
their Fair the State Fair. No other
fair in Kansas has an equal right, but
there are pretenders and imitators in
every line of human endeavor. No
man can prevent another from being
an ape if he wants to be an ape. It
has also been further thought by the
Hutchinson management that their
Fair should be taken over by the state
and a state controlled, state conducted

The men who have been behind this
Fair now for more than a decade have
given their time and their ability to
its management without pay or hope
of reward except that they are a part
Of public benefactiOn and the pleas

A number of them have given very

IT HAS OFFICIAL STANDING.
Men Behind the Enterprise Have Con.

Belief That They Were Engaged In
Public Bensfaetion.


There are many people in the state
who wonder why the Fair at Hutch
inson or any other place In Kansas is
called the State Fair. Originally the
Fair at Hutchinson was organized for
the advancement of agricultural de-
VelOpment locally.
In 1903, there being no regular au-
thorized State Fair in Kansas, the
various national associations Of breed
ers of live stock began recognizing a
necessity of aiding and assisting in
the development Of fair in this great
live stock producing territory Of the
great southwest. After looking the
situation over they decided to lend
their assistance to the Fair at Hutch
inson and do what they could to pro-
mote a large educational institution.
The Hutchinson Fair managers,
quick in their discernment, recognized
the great field that lay before them

CAGLI0STRO.
Effect Of a Draft of the Notorious

CagIiostro the famous eighteenth
century charlatan, was the hero OF
many strange stories. A great lady
who was also, unfortunately for her
self, an old one and was unable to re-
sign herself to the fact was reported
to have consulted Cagliostro. who gave
her vial Of the precious liquid (ms
"wine of Egypt, with the strictest In
junction to take two drops when the
moon entered its last quarter. While
waiting for this period to arrive the
lady who desired TO be rejuvenated
shut up the vial in her wardrobe and
the better to insure its preservation in
formed her maid that it was a remedy
for the collie.
Fatal prccaution, BY some mis-
chance on the following night the maid
was seized with the very malady or
which her mistress had spoken. Re
membering the remedy so fOrtuitously
at hand. she got up. opened the ward
robe and emptied the vial at a draft.
The next morning she went, as usual,
to wait on her mistress. who looked az
her In surprise and asked her what she
! wanted. Thinking the old lady had

"Oh, madam. don't you know met L

A Crumblins Obelisk.

Cleopatra's Needle, the Egyptian
obel,sk on the Thames emDankment
opposite the Savoy gardens, has been
exposed to London atmosphere for
thirty-two years and is SLOWLY sue
cumbing to its effects. The acid In
the smoky air and the damp fogs are
gradually destroying the sharpness OF
the hieroglyphics upon which the poo
pie Of Heliopolis gazed more than
5000 years ago. Accordingly the sug-
gestion is made that the needle may
have to be removed to a more salubri-
Gus atmosphere. maybe to the British
museum, where there are already two
Egyptian obelisks safely protected
from the weather. The monument Is
periodically cleaned, and since the last
survey the process Of decay has been
much more rapid than before.

MY unknown
FRIEND.
A Flow of Wealth Came From a
Hidden Source.
BY THOMAS r. DEAN.

fCopyright, 1910, by American Press Asso-
ciation.1
I was thirty years old and had not
saved penny when fell in love with
Emma Earle. told her Of my love,
but also told her that we could not be
anything more to each other than
friends, owing to my Ill success. She
was a practical girl and admitted that
n man who had reached my age and
had not forged ahead at all was very
unlikely ever to be able to support a
family comfortably.
"You are too good hearted" she said,
"to achieve financial success. Most OF
the wealth attained is by saving. To
save one must shut ones eyes to other
peoples needs. their sufferings."
I was obliged to admit that there
was a lot of good sense in this. though
It was not in accordance with the
teachings of Christianity, which
Emma and both professed. 1t seemed
best for us to give up all idea of mar
