length in the moonlight was big
black bear
There had been report in the town
of big bear having escaped from a
travelling Snowman and this was evil
IDENTITY the animal
looked around in terror. had alb
solutely no weapon but a nail file and
a pocket knife, and | was about to
suggest to Marjorie, who was shaking
with sobs that we make a bolt for it.,
when In the corner of the porch |
spied long pruning knife that some
of the men had left about. l reached
out and grasped the knife, and as
made a move toward the edge of the
stoop. | heard a frightened little cry
from Marjorie. | Immediately re-
turned and gathered her up in my
arms for a moment.
I simply forgot all about the bear
and everything else except that |
was holding the woman ! loved the
best in the world. And would you be-
heve it, the habit had become so
strong that even there proposed and
what is more the slight affirmative Of
the head showed me that | had been
accepted With parting injunction
to Marjorie to have no fear, | again
moved toward our enemy.
The beast was evidently asleep, or
something, for it had made no move
since we had discovered it, but lay
there at fun length. Slowly. and not
making a sound, | approached IT,.
and when l was within four feet Of
the furry thing | let him have the
knife as near in the heart as I could
judge in the uncertain light
Five times l stabbed him and then
as he made no move, l approached
with q lighted match to examine his
wounds
A great big, unswallowahle lump
rose I'D my throat. and I couldn't
speak; for instead OF blood pouring
from the wounds. all | could see was
q Little straw that the knife had pulled
out.
A shrek Of laughter greeted me
when / almost yelled Marjorie!
Marjorie This isn't a real bear; it's
only stuffed
Il know il, she managed to gasp.
"Papas guide sent il Ito him and the
m-moths got into it and-and w-we put
it out tito air a-and forgot 70 b-briug
it In"
I waited until she Gained down and
then said in my most severe tones:
Marjorie. you promised to marry me.
I suppose"
4 know / did, you silly boys but
what has that 70 do with a stuffed
tear?'

AID OF STUFFED BEAR
BY JAMES g. HAwLEY.

For the sixteenth time had asked
Marjory Curtis 10 marry me. And for
the seventeenth time-twice she
didn't even notice my remark-she
had given me her sweetest smile
and refused
Late one afternoon an errand called
me to P; and as my horses had
been driTen hard all day, took the
train for the two miles, with the de-
termination of walking home
completed my errand, had dinner
in P, and about eight o'clock
started on my homeward journey.
For the first mile or so the walk was
beautiful, but as | reached the corner
that turned into the road that led
past the Curtis house the bank Of
clouds that had come up from the
west swept across the face Of the
moon and from almost daylight / was
plunged into almost the darkest night
/ have ever experienced.
/ almost collided with Mrs. Curtis
when | reached their gate, and as
soon as she recognized me she ex-
planned that she had been locked out
and asked me If I would mind wait
ing on the porch until either Marjorie
or her father arrived, and then tell
them that she would be down at Mrs.
Johnston's.
For a moment ! hesitated and
then the temptation to see Marjorie
became too strong for me, and | sue
cumbea. Marjorie arrived, and | deliv-
cred the message.
She thanked me, and, although |
couldn't see her / could hear her
fumbllng with the lock. AT last she
exclaimed in disgust: Dear me!
TOOK the wrong key" and she contin-
ued, might l ask you to escort me to
my mother, Mr.. Van Dorsen?'
Certainly" / replied
When we had reached the third step
or so from the bottom the heavy
clouds broke away and the moonlight
streamed up the path and threw the
house and surroundings into the light
again l turned my head to look at
Marjorie, and then started back
with cry of horror. Just a little to
the left of the stoop lying at full

BIC BADGER FAIR
At PLkTTEvILLE
Exhibition Of Products Of the
Field and The Shop.
SEPT. 2,3, a AND 5 THE DATES

Prize Offerings in All Department ts
Are Upon a Scale Of MonumsntaI
Liberaity--Good Program Of Races
--Woman's Department - Baseball
and Vaudeville Attractions.
Again we bid a cheerful welcome
to the most delightful season OF all
the year, when the summers work
viii soon be over and all look for
ward 10 season Of recreation and
pleasure.
A fair is a public enterprise, a place
where people may meet and exchange
views, study the improved methods,
meet old friends and make new ac-
quaintances It's purpose is to keep
abreast With advanced agriculture and
the trades that community Will be
able to take front rank and cope with
the revolutionzine Influences and
changing customs that are annually
taking place. And for this purpose
tire and place are set apart to bring
together the products OF the field and
shop, that stimulus might be given to
those departments of labor upon
which rests our great national wealth.
With this end in view the directors
OF the Big Badger Fair at Platteville,
Wis., Sept. 2, 3 and 8, have aimed
by all legitimate means to advance
the agricultural, mechanical and kind
red interests OF the country, and by
an examination Of the Premium List
II will be seen that the prize offerings
in each and every department are up
on scale of monumental llberaity.
Indeed, there is every reason to an
ticipate that the coming fair will rank
foremost among the autumn exhibit
tons
Woman's industry and handiwork
help in many ways to produce articles
that are important factors in the sue
cess Of an agricultural fair.
A department of the fair, set apart
for her productions, was a wise
thought as q enables the public to
yet "a glimpse Of the assembled prod
ucts of her skill and let's the world
know more Of the achievements, the
power and prowess of woman.
We wish TO have this department
grandly filled and invite a large con.
tribution Every body is asked to at
tend and feast their eyes upon the In
hnlty of tokens of woman's brains,
grace and loneliness.

EVERY NORTHERN SECTION TO
BE ESPECIALLY REPRESENTED
AT STATE FAIR.
TO BOOST EVERY LOCALITY
Board Makes Liberal Appropriations
and supt. George r. comines En-
larges His Department.
COMPETE ON EoUALlzgo BASIS

Efforts to make the Wisconsin
State Fair, Milwaukee, September 8
to IL correlate the best OF the coun-
ty fairs in fact as well as general
effect are SURPRISING those Of form
er years, according to early indica-
tons. Practically every northern coun-
ty in the state has signifed intention
to be represented in the county ex-
hibits department Many OF the old
southern counties which heretofore
have needed this special department
very little also have made appropria-
lions and will have large displays.
Within the past two or three years
only has the county exhibit depart
ment received definite attention, and
only few counties have been repre-
scented. This year more than thirty
counties had made preliminary ar
rangements before the spring had
had passed, and boards of supervis-
ors or special agricultural societies
were preparing for necessary action
in as many more. 1t is hoped that
every one of the seyenty-one coun-
ties will be thus specially represent
ed this year
Each County Fair Chance
The schedule of awards is so ar
ranged as to give each county a fair
chance. For instance, in the divis-
ion of premium money, points are
awarded for distance from the state
fair in order to offset any advantage
because of proximity to the fair
grounds. The exhibits are to consist
OF grains. fruits, vegetables, grasses
and seeds Espec al attention win be
given to the study of seed grains in
this department, as results of the
efficient work by state experiment
stations and railroad and commercial
bodies Will be in evidence
The board of agriculture has APP
propriated $4,000 for awards in this
department on the basis of twenty
counties affording displays. For
each county over twenty 500 will be
added and money will be divided pro
rata according to tbe score. The at
titude of the board toward the coun-
ty exhibits is not taken as in oppo-
sition to home fairs in the counties
But, on the contrary it is argued
that the excellent display of coun-
tvs products at the state fair should
be of benefit to a county and the
county fair.
Many New Features.
George r Comings, Eau Claire, SUI
perintendent of the county exhibits
department, has made elaborate ar
rangements for enlargement and
many new features. Mr. Comings Is
experienced in this speciality and the
results of his methods supported by
up-to-date general officials and the
board, are manifest None of the dis
agreeable features of former years
viii be permitted this year No ia
kris win be seen in the center space
which viii be filled entirely with reg
ular county. experiment station and
