THE COUNTY FAIR
FAklRS

One of the most picturesque types
of American life is found in the fax
irs, bankers, side show men, and
FOUNDERS of thousand kinds who fol-
low the county fairs, circuses and
other places of out door amusement.
One may well wonder what becomes
of these fellows when October frosts
close up the business OF open air en-.
tertainment.
The barker Is the soul of all these
midways. Were 1t not for his good
humored and persuasive eloquence,
some OF the jolly frauds would get
q heads punched. The barker
turns 1t off into joke and drops the
wise suggestion that those who are
stung would look handsomer II they
kept still.
Ready and faclle speech is the Sc.
cret of success In the business Of run
ming these catch penny side shows.
Many of these midway orators have
quick wit and power of picturesque
description that could be made very
valuable in a more substantial call
ing.
Some of them would be found to
be well educated men. The rolls OF
most schools and colleges have those.
who from dissipation or Incidence.
drop out of the ranks of organized
toll. Many a man who proclaims the
wonders of the snake charmer or the
fortune teller can quote his Virgil
or his Horace.
Could one take census OF this
gypsy fringe of the amusement world
It would be numerous population.
Shabby of dress, willy and elusive OF
eye, with a certain hardness Of face.
1t Is yet a harmless ana kindly tribe
Of Ishmae's.

and inexperience. The young fellow

when he takes his best girl to the
county fair. The painted mermaid,
the sea serpent. and the behemoth Of
Holy Writ, are to him the opportun.
ity of seeing life. Aspiring to pene'
trate the mysteries of the universe,
here are chances for a dime that
can not be missed. Gladly he pays
the price, aud in return gains his ex.
perience of the world. 1t may be
Il necessary part of his education.

THE END OF THE BASEBALL
SEASON

To the phiiosophic observer Of
daily life, the close Of the baseball
season offers food for reflection.
There has now come to an end for
the year 1914. one of the leading ac-
tivities of the American people. It
could perhaps he demonstrated that
more people have seen ball games
the past summer than have entered
the doors OF churches or schools.
A few moralists of extreme sever
ity say 1t encourages men to waste
valuable time, and incites to the vice
of betting. As to the gambling, that
is rather incidental. For the great
majority, 1t IL a form of happy activ-
ity that works against many evils. :,

grand stand, in encouragement Of
athletic skill he is not injuring his
body with dissipation. nor polluting
his mind with low thoughts.

sidering. That is, the passiveness of
the spectators attitude to the game.
II encourages too much the attitude
Of seeing other people do things.
When a player knocks home run
or fields swift and singing ball,
the "fan" feels thrill of elation.
He Is as proud as II he had done the
thing himself. That may tend to find
his rewards, not in his own achieve,
ment, but In watching other people
achieve.
AS an outlet for supernuous energy
and a distraction from vice, base
ball must have an incalculaDle infiu-
ence for wholesome living and think
ing. 1t is a mistake though, when the
fan" let's his interest deter him from
acquiring skill of his own in some
.favorite game. II he is SO busy com.

some manufacturers do not like to
make colors too fast. 1t would en-
courage people to wear clothes too
long. That would hurt trade.
The demand for better coloring Of
textiles has had much to do with the
spread Of recent years Of the arts
and crafts movement. These work
ers dug up the dye books of their
grandmothers. when fabrics were Of

that firm colors will be appreciated

EXPERIMENTING WITH
DYE STUFFS

One of the incidents of the war
situation Is the difficulty American
factories are finding in securing dye
stuffs. The result will be aa effort
TO make dyes in this country. Prob
AMY there will be some Improvement
in this very important branch OF tex
tile industry,
1t is remarkable. what poor work
in the use of imported dye stuffs,
and in the colors of imported goods,
has been accepted in the past. Ev-
cry man realizes how badly the av-
erage negligee shirt holds its co.or (,
1t seems to make little difference
whether the material is expensive or
not. Often half dozen washings
fade the shirt so much that 1t looks
old and worn out, Women OF course
find similar trouble in many kinds OF
their clothing.

MY SHADOW

| have a little shadow that goes in
and out with me
And what can be the use of him Is
more than l can see
He is very, very like me from the
heels up to the head;
And l see him jump before me when
jump into my bed.
The funniest tnlng about MIN is the
way he likes to grow
Not at all like proper children which
is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller
like an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that
there's none of him at all.
One morning, very early. before the

But my lazy little shadow, like an

mexlco's Salt PRODUCING Lake.

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt.producing lake near Salinas
station, on the Tampico division of the
Mexican Central railway, ~ miles west
of San Luis Potosi. It may we'll be
termed two-story lake, for at times
there is lake of fresh water over
lying the salt lake. A water-tight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water For a large
part Of the year there is no fresh
water lake there. The sun ticks It up
soon after the rainy season Is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-five years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes its
living from the salt. The property
is owned by family CO estate, but
1t is said that not one Of the owners
has lived there for years.

Correspondent OF Chicago Daily News.)
Near the French Front.-Two
wounded French officers havU given
me an account of the recent fighting
near Berry.au-Bac. They came and
pounded on the door of this wayside
inn II kilometers az miles) behind
the firing line late at night. The pro-
prietress, fearing that gendarmes had
come to arrest her for selling drinks
after eight o'clock, did not answer
at first, but new pounding kicking
and shouting caused her to change
her mind.
There entered q second lieutenant
and an adjutant, both wounded. one
supporting the other. One was wound
ed in the arm and one IN the
leg. The second lieutenant was
gay and looked well, but how shall
l describe the poor adjutant? A
rough beard filed the hollows OF his
cheeks and his pale blue eyes shone
with fever. He fell moaning into O
chair and seemed to lose conscious
ness until plate of steaming soup
was placed under his nose.
Wounded Soldiers Tell Stories.
Wine and the warmth OF the room
gradually terminated him and he be-
gan TO relate his exploits. Both off,
GERS belonged to the same regiment
of infantry and both were wounded
the day before. The lieutenant's first
words were:
You cannot imagine how strange
1t seems to see civilian again. For
three months l have seen nothing
but French and German soldiers and
] had begun to believe that there was
not civilian left in the world"
These men had been fighting vir.
tually every day and night In the
last two months. Their trenches had
been advancing steadily at the rate
of about fifty yards a week. They
had attacked the German trenches
hundreds Of times and been attacked
an equal number Of times. Projec.
tiles had torn their uniforms. Their
regiment. digging underground. had
here and there burst into the midst
OF the German trenches. The other
evening a section of their comrades
composed OF 80 men had been sur
prised and captured. The adjutant
could not get over this.
Those lazy rascals fell asleep de-
spite the music Of the shrapnel," he
said. 1T is true they had not slept
for several days and nights before"
Attack the German Trenches.
The Lieutenant then related how he
and his companion we're wounded. To-
ward ten o'clock on the preceding
evening II was decided to attack the
German trenches. The French ST.
lently left their underground coverts
and crept forward. They were dis.
covered when a few yards from their
goal, but II was too late and the Ger
mans were overwhelmed.
We saw them running like rats
Into their hole" said the lieutenant.
Having advanced so yards at one
stroke, II was necessary for us to
hold this precious gain. Naturally.
the German trenches were arranged

How Wives Meet Their Husbands.
While his wife told him all the
small happenings of the last three
months he continued to kiss his
diminutive heir. Some wives who
come far to see their husbands are
less lucky, for the regulations are
very strict. However, conjugal love
inspires some ingenious ruses.
There is a young woman here who
is the wife of an officer on the firing
line. Knowing the difficulty Of ap-
preaching the lines, did not conceal
from her that her enterprise seemed
doomed to failure, but she smiled
quietly and assured me that. never.
the less she would see her husband.
After enjoying my establishment, she
explained that her husband had writ
ten her that he goes almost daily to
carry orders on horseback, Is kilo-
meters mine miles) behind the lines.
She had only to go to a certain vii
lage and wait between six and nine
o'clock In the morning in q church
where he would go daily until he saw
her. They could thus meet and no
body would be the wiser.
II am leaving for this village at
four o'clock tomorrow morning" said
the young woman. Il do not dare to
go to bed tonight for fear l should
oversleep."
Lives In Cellar Eight Weeks.
Last night there was in the dining
room q family Of ragged, taciturn
peasants from some untenable farm
near the front. Beside them a soil
tary young woman ate without appe-
tite. She was from Reims, where she
had been living in cellar for eight
weeks. In a countenance Of cada-
verous pallor shone two blinking eyes
with Redeemed lids. From the sleeves
of her black dress issued white flesh
less arms on which the veins stood
out like cords. Her whole appearance
bore witness to terrible debility and
her bearing still breathed dread. AS
she bent down to rearrange her skirt |
with her hand her wedding ring fell |
and rolled away. Il am so thin It
won't stay on my finger any more"
she said. Insignificant though the IN
cident IVES 1t was more moving than |
can say.
