HOW TO TELL FORTUNES
One Formula Can Be Made 10 Fit Almost

The way to, tell peoples fortunes is to have

In the Metropolitan:
You are not so fortunate as you seem. You
have great deal of sense. but more sense than
knowledge You can give admirable advice to
other people. Your judgment is excellent
CARDS others. but bad as regards yourself You
never value your own good advice. You are
fond Of your friends. You prefer talk to action.
You suffer from INDIGESTION. You are fond of the
stage. You are susceptible to female beauty.
You are witty amiable and well educated but
you like coarse jokes You are superstitious and
believe in ghosts. You can make people laugh.

At other times you Will surprise people by

Uncle Samuel Is Booster Of the OId-Time Fair

IN an effort to revive interest in the
: old-time agricultural fairs the de-
partment of agriculture the other day
issued a bulletin treating of the bene-
fits to be derived from such gather
ings.s
The report is of historic interest,
for it tells of the beginning of such
fairs" when TIE country was young
and when they were not only an adj
vantage to agriculture, but were the
excuse for social gatherings as we'll.
What was primarily market fair"
says the report, was held in October,
1904, ION the Mall on the south side
of the Tiber, extending from the
bridge at the Center Market to the
Potomac in Washington, d. S. The
city government appropriated $50 to-
ward the fund for premiums and resi-
dents subscribed an equal sum. This
amount was awarded to the best lamb,
sheep. steer, mich COW, jack, oxen
and horse actually Sold"
The report declares that the first
real agricultural fair was held by the
Columbian Agricultural Society in
Georgetown, d. c., in 1902
According to the newspapers Of that
day, ''it was attended by numerous
assemblage of members of the society,
among whom we noticed the president
and his lady, the secretary of state
the secretary of the treasury. the sec
rotary of war, the controller, the reg

may be surmised from the fact that the original

'MASONS RETAIN VIVID MEMORIES
 OF CEREM0N|ESAT GRAND CANYON

GRAND CANYON, Sept 12.-The historic and mystic ceremonies of the ancient order of Free Masons were completed here when the degree of master mason was conferred upon Rev. Bertrand R. Cocks, arch deacon of Arizona for the Episcopal church, upon the eminence of Hopi Point with the grand reaches of the Grand Can yon stretching all about There were present in addition to the large repre- sentative a gathering of Masons from all points of the southwest as has ever been gotten together.
 With this portion of the ritualistic work completed, the notable gathering closed the work, but at night the Phoe- nix lodge and the visiting Masons from all sections of Arizona gathered in the immense dining hall of Fl Tovar and sat down to an elegant ban quet, which was increased in enjoy ment and significance by the eloquent speeches that brought that portion of the festivities to close.

Never in the history of the Masonic order in the United States has there been more sublime setting to cere- monial sessions of the order Lodges have held meetings in the bowels of the earth, yet others have made an nual pilgrimages to the tops of noun tains, but here in Arizona were as- sembled nearly 300 members of the order, in the midst of the most sub- lime and splendid natural wonder on earth, adjuring each other in the faith of the centuries, pledging themselves anew to the principles of masonry.
 No less sublime probably than the conferring of the masters degree up- on Reverend Bertrand Cocks, was the work in the fellow craft degree, which was expounded for the benefit of Hon. Fred Coulter of Springerville, who was made the candidate for that de- gree at the request of the northern Arizona lodge in which he had been an apprentice the requisite probation ary period.

I reckon when my summons comes And all my time of life is through, I shall look back and see a lot
 Of things I really meant to do. Try as I will, I'm sure that at
 The end of time I'll turn and sigh AS I review the chances that I had to help and passed them by. I tell myself from day to day
 I'll do this simple little deed And then somehow I turn away
 For what seems then of greater need. But when the time for help has gone, When on my chance has the sun, Then comes to me the thought of one More helpful thing might have done. We should not ever put away
 One instant deeds we mean to do, Nor keep the kind words we would say Our selfish motives to pursue. For when, to fly on angel wings Away from earth, at last we're bid, Then shall we sigh OCT many things We meant to do, but never did.

4 SILENCE TEST THAT
 SURE WAS CONVINCING

Two motorists were discussing the respective merits of their cars with great vehemence, according to story going the rounds. Finally, one said:
 "Why, my cars so quiet that-see that dog over there? I can run over him without touching him, and he won't wake up!"
 The dog was calmly lying in the mid die of the road, but to all outward ap- pearances seemed no less nervous or deaf than most dogs.
 Tt can't be donei"
 ''Bet you $5 I can do it!"
 'Tll take you" It looked like easy money.
 So the car was cranked, and went slowly and fairly quietly over the dog. The animal didn't stir an inch. Back at the curb again, $5 changed hands.
 Then the motorist with the quiet car started to repeat the stunt. But this time he opened tn cut-out and pressed on the KlaXon button. In all the racket, without a wiggle or wag- gle, the dog lay still.
 Say, you, that dogs dead!"
 Sure, I ran over him coming in!"
