THE COUNTRY FAIR.

Oh the city life has its joys no doubt.
Its steam heated mansions and halls;
Its business deals and its automobiles,
Its theaters suppers and balls;
Its extravagant toys and its messenger boys.
Its buildings way in the air;
But where is the street that compete
With the od-tashfoned country fart
Then it's hey hoi And it's won't you 60
And what the country fair showi
The Plymouth Rocks and the Leghorns too;
The browsing sheep for ali TO view;
The golden wheat, the yellow corn;
The ribbons that everywhere adoTn;
The monster hogs with the curry tails
The Jersey the brimmng pals;
The luscious pumpkins laid in
And everything that the garden grows;
The mild eyed horses, patient, kind;
The froGcsome colts that behind;
The apples, pIums and smelly pears
With all the fruits the orchard bears;
And bowls of berries black and red;
And then the band, with martial tread,
In silver braid and scarlet coats
Playing as if TO split their threats
All what's earth that compare
With the genuine old fashioned country fart
Oh. city life has its bunco games,
And its fortunes made while you wait;
Its frenzied finance and its ceasless dance
Round the Goddess of Gold and Hate;
Its green goods and its gamblers den,
Its CLEAN and its glitter and glare;
But what does It know of the glorious show
AT the od-tashioned country fart
Then It's hey no And won't You 90
And see what the country fair showi
The plates OF bscuit, crisp and brown;
The finest rolls from every town;
And every conceivable kind of cake
The your mother used to make
Fruit cake, pound cake sponge cake, tarts
Twisted and crmped and shaped in hearts;
Jelly cake silver cake, gold cake, too;
Cakes of every kind and hue,
OF every and shape and size,
Thanked by half thousand pies
Sauces and catehups by the score;
Jams and preserves from door to door,
With quilts and eounerpanes, stitched and sewed.
And tides and scarfs by the wagon load
sole porten facp.
Go strollng on from place to place.
And chat and smile and laugh and roar
At every joke-then eat
All! What's earth that compare
With the genuine old fashioned country farf
Oh. a city life has its trolley cars,
Its policemen clad in blue;
Its electric lights and its dazzling sights;
Its church and its high priced pew;
But there's many night when You lie awake,
And think of its trouble and care;
And all If you knew what was wisest for you
You'd go back to the country fair.
Then it's hey no And won't you 60
And what the country fair showf
For the horses race and they run their BEST
And nobody wants TO rest
And you eat peanuts and popcorn balls;
And forget that the market rises and falls;
And you bring your lunch and sit in the shade;
And you watch the soldiers parade;
And you pat your foot to the march of the band;
And you meet your friends and shake their hand
And go way up in the big bonoon
Till it looks like you'll drop into heaven soon;
And the down all gold and red
And the last good nights have all been said
And the crowd has dwndled to just few;
And life stems so happy and sweet to you
All there's nothing earth that compare
With the genuine old-fashioned country fair.

w. j. Bryan's Estimate of the Bull
Moose Ticket.

Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 5.-Wiiliam ].
Bryan addressed a crowd which filled
the vast auditorium at the fair grounds
to overlooking and for more than two
hours held his audience While he
scored Roosevelt and Taft unreserV ed
ly in his first political speech of the
campaign. A record breaking crowd
was in attendance and cheered wildly
at every opportunity during his ad-
dress.
Declaring that Governor johnson is
the biggest man in the Progressive
movement the speaker launched into
his attack on Roosevelt by saying:
at would far rather see Johnson
presiden and Roosevelt vice president,
and I would spend the rest of my time
praying that Johnson would not die. 2"
The speakers objection to Taft was
that he sis too distrustful of the peo-
pIe" and that Roosevelt is too truStfuf
of himself. He had never known a
man, the speaker said, who has such
empowering confidence in himself.
Mr. Roosevelt" Mr.. Bryan con-
tfnued, sis now claiming to be the
leader in the Progressive movement
when his Progressive convictions are
only two years old. I have been a
progressive for 20 years and know all
reactionary movements Roosevelt
has never, until in this campaign, been
among the advocates of the former
movement. Never, during the time he
was president, did he champion the
direct election of senator and during
the time he was president he refused
to bring it before congress in a mes
sage. He did not try to prevent the
voting down of a plank on this sub
ject IN the convention of 1908, and
only became converted to this view
two years ago.
M. Roosevelt's speeches on the in
come tax question are like the visits
of angels-few and far between. He
has only favored the initiative and
referendum for two years and five

Two Splendid Suggestions
for the Skin and Hair

Simple little home-remedies usually DO
more to conserve the complexion tnan ex-
penSiVe preparations. and especially is
this true of a spurmax lotion for the
face neck, arms and hands. This is pre-
pared by putting ounces spurmax into II
pint witch hazel or hot water, and add
ing teaspoonfuls glycerine. The spur
max lotion is invisible when on and i'm
parts a delicate and veivety smoothnesS
to the skin. It's use baniShes all complex
ion upsets and protects the skin from
chaps and roughness.
Shampooing with canthrox cleans the
hair and scalp of all dust, dandruff and
excess oil, and so energies it that dull,
faded, straggly hair takes on a bright
lustre, rich even color and silken fluff.
You can easily prepare your own sham
poo by dissolving a teaspoonfuI of can
thurox in a cup hot water. Occasional
shampooS with canthrox keep the scalp
healthy and encourages a bountifuI
growth of beautiful hair
