large, shoulder-sagging bundles. He
had walked from the station--a matter
of half a mile-and it was hot. His
employer sat in the shady porch, view
ing his approach.
The young man drew n chair up to
the table and began the task of work
ing out the puzzle that now seemed
more or less near to solution. He had
a pretty clear idea as to the period he
wanted to investigate. To the best OF
his recollection, the Studios published
three or four years back held the key.
He selected the numbers and began
to run through them. He was search
ing for q vaguely remembered article
on one of the lesserknown English
painters who had given great promise
at the time 1t was published but who
dropped completely out Of notice soon
afterward because Of mistaken no
ton of his own Importance. II
Booths memory served him right, the
fellow came cropper, so to speak, in
trying to ride rough shod over public
opinion, and went to the dogs. He
had been painting sensibly up to that
time, but suddenly went in for the
most violent style of impressionism.
That was the end of him.
There had been reproductions of his
principal canvases, with sketches and
studies in charcoal. One of these pic
lures had made a lasting impression
on Booth: The figure of young wom

shadow Of window easement from
which she looked out upon the world

slender young woman In vague reds
and browns, whose shadowy face was
positively Illuminated by a pair OF
wonderful blue eyes.

MANY EVENTS PLANNED
FOR LUCAS GO. FAIR

Preparations for the biggest and
best county fair ever held in Lucas
County are rapidly going on, and by
the time September comes around
II is expected that a new record for
county fairs in this section of the
state will be witnessed, Labor Day
having been set as the opening day OF
the big event.
DR.. d. w. Iford, president Of the
Fair Association, has been working
night and day on the fair, arranging
an extensive program, not only of the
usual day features, but also an ex-
tensive card of events for the even
ing.
In addition to the usual fair pro-
gram, consisting of free feature at
fractions, exhibitions, the midway
and the races, DR.. Iford has arranged
for horse show, the contestants OF
which are to be judged each evening
before the grand stand The Toledo
Kennel Club will also hold its first
dog show of the season at the same
time. Additional features will be the
baby show and a fireworks display
each night by G. M. Krause.
The enthusiasm over the coming
week is widespread. The jump from
the usual premium list of $2,5OO to
one of $4,000 has attracted exhib-
itors from everywhere. The grain
building has already more applica-
tions than any other season and the
fair is yet several weeks distant. The
director and superintendent of the
county schools have asked for twice
as much space as has ever been al.
loted them before.
Prizes will be given daily for the
most perfect baby in the exhibitions,
winding up with a grand prize event
on the last day of the fair.
The kennel show will be the finest
ledo Kennel club, for which numerous
entries already have been received.
But it is the horse shows to be
held each night during the fair, that
is expected to attract the major share
of the attention.
Monday night prizes will be award
ed for ponies under ID hands high,
for single animals under harness and
saddle, and a pair in harness. Tues
day gentlemen's roadsters will be
shown, two classes to be exhibited,
and to be judged solely for their fit
ness for road use.
Wednesday night drafters in har-
ness will be shown. Form, muscling,
size, quality, action and manners will
be considered. Thursday three or
more gated saddle horses will be
! shown.
/ On Friday is scheduled the grand
parade of prize winners in front of
the grand stand.
Entries for this show, as in the rest
of the events, are coming in thick and
fast, and from present indications the
horse show should be as huge a sue
cess as is the entire day and night.

MODERN BUSINESS METHODS

A notable change has taken place
In American business methods within
the last decade. Increasingly men Of
large affairs are asking when a young
man is recommended for a big Job.
"Is he a gentleman7" This is signih.
cant In two ways. It means that the
big business men are themselves gen.
tlemen and like to deal with men who
speak their own language and that
American business methods have
grown to be such that the gentleman
has an advantage.
There was a time when a man who
was hustler could be cad If he
liked. and it did not hurt his chances
much. But that time has passed. The
big business men of to-day want young
men who are tactful. intelligent. inde.
pendent, yet unassuming; who would
know how to talk to a diplomat and
be at home in a good club: who could
be trusted to behave kindly. honor
ably and disoreetly in any situation OF
life; who, in short, have as their ideal
the old. never-changing ideal Of the
gentleman. Not everybody can de.
fine it. but everybody knows 1t a.
sight
The gentleman, in short. can work
along the rne Of least resistance, and
that Is why he is wanted.

OUR HIGHEST EXPLOSIVE

The airship is the highest explosive
thus far invented by man.
This fact is O great grief to invent
ors and scientists, who have been
struggling for years TO make the afr
ship something else. Never has man
landed further from his goal than In
producing a 5oo-foot bomb wnile en-
deevoring to perfect an aerial omni-
bus.
Man has fused with airships for
many years. Monkeying with q buzz
saw 10 \ safety frBt" occupation be-
side It. Some few inventors have
been content to remain on earth. Lett
ting other men take the creations OF
their genius into the clouds. These
inventors are stiIl alive and IN good
health. The rest are reverentiy re-
membered.
The airship consists Of q thin skin
stuffed with gas. Man has solved tho
problem Of making this bag 40 long
as an ocean liner and Of puahins e
through the sky at the rate Of forty
miles an hour. But he has not yet
learned how to prevent It from explod-
ing with s76o.ooo bang while too
far aloft to make flre escapes OF the
slightest use.
Airships have remained aloft for
days at time, cruising across whole
nations at high speed. Airships have
carried happy passengers in luxurious
compartments from city to city on
schedule time. But airships have also
done 80 many other things OF interest
only to science and the coroner that
they cannot as yet be classed as an
amusement or convenience. An air
ship is still an adventure and a dead
ly weapon in the hands of man. who
apparently doesn't know 1t Is loaded.
Many nations are experimenting Wig
orously with the atrship in the hope
of being able to inflict hideous injury
upon a hostile country through it
This is perfectly feasible already. II
Germany would lend England all its
airships in case of an Ill feeling be-
tween the two countries, It would
strike that country a heartless blow.

SHOOTING JAPANESE RAPIDS.
Those Of the Hodzu River Afford an
Exciting Experience.

tHose OF tne f7odzu HlNer AHOru an
Exciting Experience.
The rapids on the Hodzu River
near Kyoto must fill even the most
blase Of tourists with excitement. A
train from .Kyoto climbs slowly and
painfully upward until finally 1t de.
posits its passengers at quaint little
siding.
From here, says the Wide World,
one goes to the river bank ana EN-.
barks in a rude, fiat bottomed boat,
which is pushed out by four men
into middle OF broad river, reed
edged and sleepy.
For few minutes one glides
dreamily along; then rounding a
curve, one suddenly hears the roar Of
water and the boat tears down q
rapid, just missing the rocks on each
side The high banks race past, death
appears imminent, and then, with one
mad swirl It Is all over and the boat
is on the quiet, unruftled stream once
more.
This happens again and again for
nearly an hour. At first ones whole
mind is filled with the conviction that
an accident must happen, but grad
ually comes a delicious feeling Of
safety as one notes the marvellous
skill these men show in plotting the
boat through the seething rapids and
one is able to appreciate the beauty
of the scene.

with that to set us thinking we figured
out why they want cleaners to report

"They start out the first of them ON

work that's to be done, or that
ought to be done, before customers

to do this they have to get an early
