THE WORD TO BE SPOKEN.

II AM sitting alone in the twilight.
With the turbulent din Of the street;
I can hear the sharp hail on my win.

And the tread OF on hurrying feet.
But the clamor and strife Of the city
Have driven my fancy away
To maiden with hair like the sunshine
And wonder now what she would say.
We parted last spring in the orchard.
And her face wore the shadow Of gloom.
Though she smiled mid the showers of
blossoms
Blown down from the branches abloom.
And the minutes drag on through the
hour,
While the hours drag on through the
day.
For my heart has grown weary with wait.

And the brook We followed in April
Is haunting me still in my dreams.
Where II PUSHES down over the lodges
And drenchss the rocks with It's spray

The secret sf-what she would say.
When the Christmas bells peal the glad
tidings
Which the angels once sang before men
And the brooklet Is drifted to silence.
All. then ! shall see her again.
And when her blue eyes bid me welcome
The holiest gift Of the day
I shall take from her lips as they tremble
With the sweetness of what she would

STATE FAIR IS
TWENTY YEARS OLD.
Institution Which Has Always Been
Headed by Yakima Men Given
Broader Scope.

North Yakima. Wash. Aug. 26.-The
Washington State Fair at North Yaki-
ma the end of next month. which will
be the seventeenth annual fair since
It was established. will be the first
held under the direction Of the Wash
ington state department of agriculture.
Much of its success will undoubtedly
be due to the efforts Of ]. III. Perkins.
state commissioner of agriculture. Mr..
Perkins. who Is resident of Ritzville,
interesting commercial bodies, stock
men. farmers and other exhibitors In
the display.
The State Fair was instituted and To-
Gated at North Yakima by the legisla-
ture of 1893. The bill creating it was
fathered by A. B. Weed. still a resi-
dent of North Yakima, who was
member of that legislature and who
was made president Of the first board
Of trustees.
The first appropriation was $4,000.
Yakima county bought the present site
OF 100 acres and decided it to the state.
The first fair was held in the summer
Of 1894. 1t was hardly more than q
local exhibit The only building was
a rough structure. which Is now incOr-
porated in machinery hail. After that
first exhibit the men in charge man.
aged to raise enough money to inclOse
eighty acres. They We're able to do
this. however, only because John Cole
man, one of the earliest pioneers of
the Yakima valley. sawed the boards
ut his mill, high in the Wenas valley.
ut an exceedingly low price.
Good Track Laid Out.
The next effort Of the board was to
provide mile racing track which
would have no superior in the north
west. The plans OH which several of
the big tracks in the east were built
We're secured and the oval laid out
with its turns banked ana it's surface
drained by Il substratum of gravel.
Twenty thousand dollars was spent on
the track, which was first used In 1896
or 1897.
For the first ten years the display
was hardly us good as the ordinary
county fair of today. Since then II
mas been growing steadily. The men
at its head have always been residents
OF the Yakima valley until this year.
Putting it under the direction of the
state department Of agriculture has
given II n wider scope and bigger MR.
pose Several thousand dollars were
spent this season in improving the
grounds and repuinting buildings. and
when the fair opens Sept. 20 the exhi-
biiion will look fresh and clean and
more attractive than ever before.
