Missouri State Fair.

The eleventh annual exhibition
% the Missouri state fair will be
held on the State f5ir groG1ds at
Sedalia, September 50 to Oct. o
The members of the State board
of agriculture are the directors Of
the state fair and they have made
an extra effort this year TO sur
pass all former years in the way
of exhibits and entertainment.
The live stock industry Of Mis-
souri, has made a wonderful grow
tn since the State fair was estab
lished, and reasonable supposl-
ton is that the Missouri state fair
has had much influence in the de-
velopnent of the live stock indus
try during the last ten years for
it is at the State fair where the
best herds in the country are
shown and it is there where the
farmer and breeder gets his insp
ration to breed better live stock
The State fair is an educational
snstitution that reaches people
who are past school age as wei
as the young folks.

ResnnnsihilitY.

Two men N this community y
the other dar discussed the effect
of the weight Of responsibility,
and the idea seemed to possess one
that responsibility detracts from
the pleasures aud comforts of life.
We are not prepared to go into the
subject. and are perhaps less com.
petent to discuss it than the gen.
tlemen referred to, but it is so
plain that one who runs may read
the fact that the man or woman
who feels responsibility and knows
the weight of it is a person to be
relied upon because a normal man
cannot feel the weight Of response
bility without making some effort
to bear it; and on the other hand
the man who feels not the weight
of responsibility, nor realizes its
import to himself, is likely to fail
to fulfil his Obligations to his fam
ily. the community in which he
lives, and his country.

said, 'Well, if you can't get it, what

lady had heard Mrs. Brown tell her ad-

Christmas presents for the poor. And

store the lady got the doll.
When Mrs. Brown got home Mary
asked her if she thought Santa Claus

the candy in it. Her mother told her
to look all around and see if that was

both spent very happy Christmas, for

Christmas was drawing near, and
Many Brown was poor girl and did
not expect to get any Christmas pres
ats, as the other little boys and girls
did for she had never gotten anything
better than a little stick candy in her
aocking, which she thought was very
nice indeed. Mrs. Brown had Just
rashed some shirtwaists for a lady by
The name of Mrs. Green. She was going
. 10 take them to Mrs. Green s that even
inq. She put on her coat and a hat
which was getting old, as she could not
yet another one. Then she told Mary
to 90 and get her pocketbook.
Mary did so, and said it felt as if
il did not have anything in it. Her
mother said, cit has little, but will
have more when I get back for she
was going to get eighty cents. That
seemed lot. Mrs. Brown was going
to leave Mary now, but she would not
be alone, as they lived in large tene-
ment house. She kissed her child good
bye, telling her to be good while she
was gone.
When Mary's mother had gone she
went upstairs to visit an old lady. Then
going back to Mrs. Green s she had
gotten off of the street car and had
ung the door bell. The maid came to
the door, She asked for Mrs. Green.
The maid said she had gone away to
spend Christmas.
The tears came to Mrs Browns eyes.
for she had planned to get doll for
thirty-fve cents for "a christmas present
for Mary. For Mary was only ten
years old and enjoyed her dolls very
much. She went away, feeling very
sad, and on her way home she stopped
into store. She said she would walk
home and get Mary little stick candy.
But she did want to get the doll 80
bad! Everybody was in hurry, but
finally she got waited on. She asked
for niekel's worth of stick candy.
The clerk rather stuck up her nose at
the little bit. There was lady stand
ing near Mrs. Brown who was very
pretty and had heard her tell how bad
