pianist, as Marion Jennison recognized.
go on, Mr.. Marsh; please do" she
cried, dropping the union jack and the
stars and stripes with shameless dis
regard and clapping her hands viva
ciously. Marsh paused a moment, then
began the compelling measures of a
Strauss waltz. Brill came close to the
girl.
>"Shall we?' his yes asked, and hers
replied, 'Yes, IT,
But there was no 'if'; the young
man put an eager hand upon her waist,
and they seemed to have been sway
ing and swirling to this intoxicating
music all their lives. She danced d.
vinely, but that was not the cause of
his rapture. Other women had danced
as well, but
Suddenly the wicked Marsh crashed
into an absurd English clog, the most
unpoetic antipode from the suave siren
song Of Strauss, yet Brill danced on,
deaf to any change in rhythm, know
ing only that his arm was tightening
around that bit Of heaven made mani
fest on earth. But the girl stopped
and d~isengaged herself gently.
II really cannot dance to that tune"
she said half merrily, half ruefully.
Then she laughed as she caught sight
of Marsh's mischievous face, and ran
to her favorite corner of the room and
dropped into a chair, breathless.
Brill followed; he would have fol-
lowed her anywhere at this moment.
AS he approached, the young woman
saw in his gaze something new and
strange, and a wav of deeper color
swept over her cheeks.
"Oh. Mr.. Overflow" she exclaimed,
"you don't know how we are to end the
programme. This morning WI learned
that there was a little string band
among the steerage passengers-gui-
tars and mandolins-some of Mr.. Bene-
diets people, you know"
That name. 1t was enough to quench
the fire that blazed in Brilrs heart, and
he descended to mere commonplace
until Marion rejoined her maid and
Stebbins. Then he walked W. to
Marsh. cheerlessly. The keen eyed
man gave him a penetrating glance.
"Come On. Overflow. he cried hearth
ly. lets take a turn on deck. / want
a cigar. I've been working too blamed
hard. Your friend Stebbins can take
care of the ladies'"
As they paced up and down, smok-
ing and chatting, they noted far astern
the smoke of a steamer. To Brill it
seemed typical of his love. He owned
to the word yaliantly. AS that dark
cloud from the fires beneath was dis
sipated in the immensely Of space, so
his ardent affection seemed destined
to lose itself in n~othingness. He was
very silent and grave, and Marsh was
glad when luncheon time arrived.
After the meal they came to the deck
again with their cigars. There they
found Professor Pennythorpe. armed
with a marine glass which had escaped
the violators of his cabin. He was
looking at the craft astern, which
seemed to Brill to have drawn a little
nearer, and was explaining to one or
two curious listeners that the course
of the stranger was by no means un-
usual in the winter mouths.

ed by the market should be encouraged
A fair should be educational. Money
and effort are wasted upon exhibits of
crazy quilts, tides, etc, of the 1887
crop, and fussy cakes and pies. The
farm women should be encouraged to
make better homes. Therefore ex.
hibits of conveniences for the farm
home, exhibits that will show how the
rural health may be improved; how
better bread should be made; methods
of home canning of meat, fruit and
vegetables, all should be encouraged.
What are the rural schools doing
Have you a real country school, OF
only school in the country What are
the schools doing to hold the young
folks in the county, to stimulate inter.
est in housekeeping and farming7 Elk.
hibits of rural school work in agri
culture and home economies, in boys
and girls club work always receive a
great deal of attention and a county
fair cannot do better than to encourage
this sort of work.
Many county fairs have been most
successful in featuring some product
which the county is getting known for,
one one, or several days of the fair.
Thus in some counties, "Potato Day.,
/" Biscuit Day." "Apple Day. "Pork
Day." ETC., have served to stimulate
great interest in the fair and adver-
tised the county. It is also the Gus
tom to serve, roasted pork, baked ap.
Piles, and potatoes, biscuits and the like
with free or low priced luncheon on
these days. Other fairs have made a
success Of Farmers picnics," where
people from the same part Of the county
gather and have Qualification.
All such efforts stimulate interest
in the farming and country life Of that
county, make the fair a real county
fair, get-together place for rural peo-
pie. The average county fair can do
much to increase interest in better
farming and better rural life. The
mere collecting of turnips, grains and
carrots, the giving Of prizes for a
fat hog, plates of red apples, and works
of art, will not do this. We need real
country fairs.

MAKE THE COUNTY FAIR
A COUNTRY FAIR

All too often county fair shows only
a collection of agricultural products of
mediocre quality and of little educa-
tional value. A county fair should be
a country affair, should bring country
people together and stimulate interest
in better farming, better marketing and
better rural conditions biggest pump
kins, biggest beets,'' I" freaks" ETC.,
when the fair is made a museum, when
bucking contests, round-ups, roping con-
tests and the like prevail, will not do
this. These have no effect upon the
Improvement of farming and upbuilding
of the country.
The average country fair attempts too
much, also, in the way of giving prizes
and premiums. When prizes are offer
ed for almost every kind Of crop and
animal, there is likely to be lack
of real competition. Premiums should
be restricted to few we'll chosen lines.
those which seem of greatest impor-
lance to the country and special prem
iums. By thus concentrating on few
lines, real competition will be secured
and the prizes and premiums available
will go much farther. They will be
really worth trying for. Instead of
so many small cash prizes, ribbons, or
engraved EDWARDS of merit" may be
given. These may stimulate greater
competition and be cherished more than
cash or special prizes.
Fairs should feature such classes il
seems desirable to encourage in the
county, especially livestock. But in the
hive stock classes, emphasis should be
placed upon type and real worth, and
not merely upon breeds. We need bet
ter cows, better steers, better horses.
BETTER sheep and pigs not more varie-
ties. Records of production should be
encouraged. The emphasis should be
placed upon what the cow does and
not upon her family tree.

EQUALITY IN HUMAN LIFE

Among the desirable things that man
kind could have is the spirit of uni
versal brotherhood, which would render
wars impossible.
This familiar fact should not, how
ever, discourage American manhood.
We should see it as thing appealing
the passions of brutality, or causing us
to- cease to use common sense.
Man has made progress and he will
continue to do so under the Republican
form Of government. He has SO brought
the animal instincts under control that
the shedding Of blood should no longe,
be necessary in a civilized country, OF
between Enlightened and civilized ma
tions.
Surely the American people need not
fear of this Republic getting into war
with foreign powers, while President
Wilson is in the presidential chair. Our
beloved president is broad min ded and
far-seeing man, looking forward to the
building up of system of nations
strong enough to compel great powers
to keep peace.
Such will inlist the earnest efforts of
all patriotic men and women of our
nation. Such unselfish and wise ideas
will hold the support of all lovers of
peace and unity in our beloved com.
AOnweahh.
There must be a mental and loyal
unity, not only of purpose, but also of
practice.
President Wilson declares: "There is
such thing as being so right that force
IL not needed to convince others of the
right
bueh ideas are probable in a mon
arehial government, where kings, EN-.
Perors, and princes voices are supreme
in governmental affairs
In Republican form of government
it 10 pleasure to be, of the people, for
the people, and by the people. This
produces eontentment and happiness.
II asimosities among nations are to
be crushed, it will be necessary to cul-
tivate broader national habit of
thought, and action in the matters of
liberty.
There are fundamental conceptions of
self-respeet Of the desires for the good
opinions in the path of progress, which
belong to every people and race under
the solar luninary. Therefore nations
must acknowledge and respect these
facts Of essential worth in human ma
ture, and upon the paths of life.
l rejoice in the noble stand taken
BY President Wilson. I honor him for
his intense interest in keeping peace
With the world.

AFTER-EFFECTS OF TYPHOID
Death Rate of Those Who Recover From
Typhoid Doubles.

Figures are showing up typhoid in
new light. We have always regard
ed seriously the chances of fatality
that go with each case, also the
length of time required for the fever's
course, the severe suffering, the anx-
iety, the careful nursing, not to men,
ton the expense, but now figures are
showing that the after-effects of ty-
phoid are not to be slightly considered.
study of 1874 cases of typhoid
fever shows that 146 died while under
treatment, which is not quite one out
of every ten. o the 1,42S who re-
covered from the immediate effects
of the disease, the death rate for the
first three years was nearly twice the
normal death rate of similar group
Iof persons who had not had typhoid.
AS the cause of death among the
patients who died following recovery
from typhoid, tuberculosis heads the
list with a rate of 80 percent, with
diseases of the heart following with
rate of 14.8 per cent. In other words,
the chances for having tuberculosis
are increased about three times in
those who have recovered from typhoid
while the chances for heart diseases are
about doubled In the United States
each year, 5000 deaths occur among
persons who have recovered from an at
tack of typhoid fever but who, as a re-
suit of impaired vitality from the
disease, succumb during the first or
second year after recovery.
Besides lowering the vitality so that
other diseases are not to be resisted.
typhoid often leaves the patient
MANNED for life, and memory is fire.
quently impaired. These considerations
should bear an especial appeal to those
who still tolerate flies and fly infected
food and who have not yet made up
their minds to be vaccinated against tY-
phoid.
Why take such chancesf You can
surely prevent typhoid by having your
physician give you the anti-tYphoid
treatment. The material for this il

cook. Typhoid Mary, carrier of the
germ, who, although she declared she
never herself had the dis
ease, has, nevertheless. in those migra- ,
tions from family to family peculiar to
her caste, through number of wears
disseminated the infection to some
score or more of sufferers. There have
indeed been typhoid carriers who have
had the disease forty years previously
and have continued through all that
time being meanace. 1t is computed
that one fourth of the people who have
had typhoid are carriers; that, disease
or no disease, one in every one thousand
of us is such a carrier. Most infec-
tiOns are self-limited; their 0uaran-
timing time is fixed. But you cannot
quarantine typhoid carrier a whole
life time, any more than you can
frame a indictment against whole
nation. The great trouble with Ty-
phold Mary has been her perversity,
exceeding even that which obtains in
her most tempermental of callings.
She has never conceded herself a
menace; she has not obeyed the SAM
tary directions given her; she vould
not wash and disinfect her hands as
required; she will not change her oc-
cupation for one in which she will not
endanger the lives of others; under
an assumed name she had competed
with the Wandering Jew in scattering
destruction in her path. Typhoid
carriers who are amenable to reason.
conscientious, careful and scrupulouslv
clean, need not endanger anybody 3
existence.
The best insurance against typhoid
is, after all, to get inoculated against
the disease, as all sensible people are
now vaccinated against small !. pox.
especially is this well to do when
there are typhoid epidemics; and for
commercial travellers, motorists, tour
lists and vacationists who NAV in the
most subterranean ways contract tv..
phoid and became typhoid carriers. And
since this is disease largely of ad.
