IMPLEMENT FIELD ENLARGED

igan State Fair.

Implement field at the West Michi-
gan State Fair at Grand Rapids, Sep
TENDER IL to 10, is one of the most in.
structive spots on the big fair grounds
for the farmer. Here he has an op-
portunity to see all the most modern
machinery the great manufacturers
produce. Many of the implements are
in operation, giving a better idea of
just what can be accomplished with
them
The implement field Is in a new
location this year, now occupying the
space formerly occupied by the speed
stables. This gives vast amount
more room than in former years and
consequently greater opportunities for
exhibition and operation. Most of the
space has already been taken and the
farmers are sure of seeing more mod

Ghiberti's Famous Doors.

The world renowned doors Of the
baptistery at Florence represent nearly
the entire lifework of Ghiberti. He
began the first pair when he was TWEEN
ty-three years old, and when he I'm.
ished the second pair he was seventy
three Excepting the three statues out
side Or San Michele and one or two
minor works. these two pairs Of bronze
doors represent his labors for half a
century. These doors. declared by
Micha elangelo Eft to be the gates of
paradise" represent the book Of Gen
esis in all the depth of its meaning,
and the skill Of the artist has never
been overpraised. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the glory of the work, and
if one has the time and money the
sight of those wonderful doors is well
worth the trip to Florence.-New York

CHANGED HER MIND.
Strategic Game In Domestic Economy
the Husband Played.

Strategic Game In Domestic Economy
the Husband Played.
Strategy can sometimes be made as
effective in domestic economy as in
the operations Of war. BY way Of IL
lustration consider an instance that
recently arose in certain city.
An ambitious young housewife there
had an opportunity to buy at great
bargain handsome rug which she
needed. Tie price was only $500, but
the owner declared that the rug was
actually worth $500. The young wo-
mans husband gently protested that
even 5000 was more than persons OF
their income could afford for a single
article Of household furnishing, but
after much persuasion he consented to
the purchase. as most husbands do in
such cases.
But this particular husband played a
strategic game When he gave his
wife the money to pay for the rug IL
was not in currency notes of large de-
nomination. but in the form of 200
round, sound silver dollars. The
young woman was astounded Until
the money was counted down dollar
by dollar she never had realized that
1t would take so many to pay for that
rug. She decided to buy sixty-ive
dollar rug, but declared that If the
money had been given to her in two
notes of 500 each she would have
bought the costlier one without hesita-
ton. New York Mail.

Harry Clifton's invitation to dinner,
and he would not withdraw under any
consideration. The Cliftons lived mod

him cordially to partake of this fam

that he was not to see his friend Man

KINGS TALKED OF A DUEL.
But George u. and Frederick Of Prua-
sia Didn't Fight,

StA DtHTk Ft8uhs
The personal enmity which existed
between George IL. and Frederick,
king of Prussia, reached at one time
to such height that. as Baron Byfield
was informed on good authority, the
monarchs conceived the very singular
design of gratifying it in duel.
King George made choice Of Briga-
dier Sutton for his second and the
king of Prussia OF Colonel Derschau.
The territory of Hilderscheim was
picked on for the meeting, His Bril-
fannie majesty was then at Hanover,
and his PrussIan majesty had come as
far as SaIzdahl. near Brunswick.
Baron Borck. the Prussian minister at
London and lately dismissed from the
court In very abrupt manner. having
repaired to the king, his master. at
Salzdahl, found him in such violent
passion that he did not think 1t ad-
visable directly to oppose his design.
but to gain time feigned to approve
Of the extraordinary combat which his
majesty meditated, and he even Of
fered to carry the challenge.
The challenge was not sent Minis
tiers ON both sides gained time. the
choler Of beth parties evaporated. and
the following year the quarrel was
made up.-"The Percy Anecdotes"
