COUNTY FAIR
WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY,, SEP
TENDER q, AND CONTINUE
THREE DAYS.

The Lake county fair will open n
week from tomorrow, September 8,
and continue three days. The Lake
county association has become a
member of the northern Iowa circuit
which enables the officials to secure
attractions in the way of races which
could not be otherwise secured. In
this department Sec'y Schmidt has
been assured of about fifty entries in
the speed department. The horses
are now making the circuit, the fairs
at Rockwell City, Fonda, Alta, Shell
don and Rock Rapids. Ia, all in the
circuit, having already been held and
the same horses are now at the Elan
dreau fair now in progress. After
the horses come here for next week
they will be taken to Huron to enter
the races at the state fair and thence
to the Sioux City fair September 20
25. This insures a superior program
OF races for the Lake county fair.
better, perhaps, than at any previous
fair. Sec'y Schmidt visited the fair
at Rock Rapids, Ia, and pronounces
the races and other circuit attractions
which will be at the Lake county fair
of a high standard.
Sec'y Schmidt has made an elabo-
rate canvass of the county and is as
sured of a large exhibit of Lake coun-
ty live stock-horses, cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry. Also a fine ex-
hibit of farm products and fruits, the
indications being that the county ex-
hibits will exceed displays of previous
years.
There win be the usual concessions
on the grounds Of the better class in
view of the fact that they have all
been tried out in the circuit and any
thing not desirable has been elm
mated. Leading features in this line
will be a display of Martins fire
works every night. including owe
$50 figures of spectacular illumina-
ton. Also the Wilhat troupe of trick
bicyclists, and DeCrane, the high
pole performer. DeCrane performs
fifteen minutes each afternoon and
evening at the top of a pole sixty
feet in height. These are mentioned
as only a few of the amusement at
fractions. Mr.. Schmidt witnessed
them at the Rock Rapids, Ia. fair
and pronounces them worthy per
formances.
The speed program races every
day. the first day PA pace. purse

of condition when they arrive In
Madison after having made most OF
the towns of the circuit, and rare
racing sport may be expected.
Sec'y Schmidt has been energetic in
planning and systemizing the details
OF the fair and everything will nc
doubt proceed with precision. The

The city commission in weekly

they would make the necessary CON
nection outside the Madison city linn

matter under consideration. The
matter of improved automobile regu-
lations was discussed informally,
awaiting the procuring of traffic or

state as a guide as how to proceed.

OLD CRAFT or ODD DESIGN
Mesopotamla Boat, Known as Kufa,
Known to Have Been in Use Be-
fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, a curious circular boat
made Of basketwork, and seen no.
where else in the world, is a COM
mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer
rymen charge only a cent each pas
senger. There is one good point about
these strange craft-they are not cas-
lily upset. Their carrying capacity also
is great, and the kufa men pack in
their passengers like behring's in a bar.
rel. ! had the good luck to take a pho
tograph of the actual building of a
kufa on the banks of the Tigris river.
says writer In the Wide World. Thew
are made OF date palm branches
woven together with rope made out Of
leaves OF the same palm. thickly plas-
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can
one see these curious craft. which
serve principally for the transport of
passengers, country produce and
beasts Of burden across the river
About three men are required to make
kufa of respectable size, and it
takes them some twenty days to build
it. Like the kelek. the kufa is OF
great antiquity. for both these strange
craft were in use long before the time
of Christ. The evidence Of this Is in.
disputable, for on the bas-rei.ers taken
from the palace OF Sen1Acherib both
craft are clearly represented.

CHAPTER x.

Early that year, the touch Of autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
shutdown from the afternoon life class.
Samson felt the lure Of its melancholy
sweetness. and paused on one of the
Washington Square benches, with
many vague things stirring in his
mind. He felt with a stronger throb
the surety of young. but quickening,
abilities within himself. Partly, it was
the charm of Indian summer. partly
a sense of growing with the days, but,
also, though be had not as yet realized
that, 1t was the new friendship into
which Adrienne had admitted him,
and the new experience of frank cam
araderie with a woman not as mem
Der of an inferior sex. but as an equal
companion OF brain and soul. He had
seen her often, and usually alone, be-
cause he Stunned meetings with
strangers. Until his education had ad-
vanced further, he wished to avoid
social embarrassments. He knew
that she liked him, and realized that
II was because he was a new and virile
a sort Of human novelty. She liked
him. too. because 1t was rare for a
man to offer her friendship without
making love. and she was certain he
would not make love. He liked her
for the same reasons that every one
else did-because she was herself. OF
late. too. he had met number OF
men at Lescott's club. lie was mod
estly surprised to find that, though
his attitude on these occasions was
always that of one sitting in the back
ground. the men seemed TO like him,

laughed. but his face again became
sober. Il was thinking, too. of your
mother. She must be sixty, but she's
a young woman. Her face is smooth
and unwrinkled, and her heart is still
in bloom. At the same age, George

titr de toward each other was SO
friendly and innocent, they both
laughed. They had dined under the
trees of an old manor house, built a
century ago, and now converted into
an inn, and they had enjoyed them
selves because it seemed to them
pleasingly paradoxical that they should
find in a place seemingly so shabby
genteel a cuisine and service of such
excellence. Neither of them had ever
been there before, and neither of them
knew that the reputation of this estab-
lishment was in its own way wide

The repairs did not go as smoothly
as the chauffeur had expected, and,
when he had finished, he was hungry.
So, eleven o'clock found them still
chatting at their table on the lighted
lawn. After awhile, they fell silent,
and Adrienne noticed that her COM
panion's face had become deeply. al
most painfully set, and that his gaze
was tensely focused on herself.

mapded.

Samson had hesitatingly taken the
gloved hand, and its grasp was firm
and strong despite it's ridiculous
smallness.

procedure. This was Lescott's studio.

it lay in his province to invite Les

Then, / think I'll wait" announced
the girl. She threw off her fur coat.
and took seat before the open CRATE
The chair was large, and swallowed
her up.
Samson wanted to look at her, and
was afraid that this would be impolite
He realized that he had seen no
real ladies', except on the street, and
now he had the opportunity.
I'm glad of this chance to meet
you. Mr.. South" said the girl with a
smile that found its way to the boys
heart. After all, there was sincerity
in foreign" women. George talks of
you so much that feel as If I'd known
you all the while. Don't you think
might claim friendship with Georges
friends?"
Samson had no answer. He wished
to say something equally cordial. but
the old instinct against effusiveness
tied his tongue.
I owe right smart to George Les
cott," he told her. gravely
That's not answering my question"
she laughed do you consent to be-
ing friends with me?"

izing that in New York this form of
address is hardly complete, he hast

of, and laughed at himself Il mean,

and so I'm, as we would say down
home. plumb skeered of ladies'"
AS he accused himself, Samson was
looking at her with unblinking direct
ness; and she met his glance with
eyes that twinkled.
Mr.. South" she said. Il know all
about manners, and you know all
about a hundred real things that |
want to know. Suppose We begin
teaching each other?"
Samson's face lighted with the rev.
authorizing effect that a smile can

left the room, she turned and added:
