The Connecticut Fair.

Beautiful for situation, Charter Oak park never looked better than now. The abundant rains of the summer have produced a luxuriant growth of grass and the long stretches of greensward, the we'll leaved trees and the wide open spaces make the historic park appear at its best, and not equaled by any fair ground in the east.
 Numerous improvements will be made this year to enchance the comfort and pleasure of the Connecticut fair which opens Labor day, September G, and continues through the week. One especially pleasing improvement in the arrangement of the booths and tents will be the keeping of all on the north side in line with the veranda on the north side of the exhibition hall. Here tofore, the lunch stands and other con- sessions have been as far north us the roadway in the rear of the grandstand. Placing the concessions farther to the south will give an unbroken view from the east to the stables which do not ap. pear conspicuously as only the east end shows as one looks from the extreme eastiof the grounds. Four corner build ings with cupolas will outline square. On the south side will be the north sec tion of the midway. On the other three sides midway concessions, eating places and other booths.

 All is in readiness for the big day at Salisbury Fair, Sept 1 and G, and everything points to record attendance. The Fair has been widely advertised, and aside from that stands on its past record of having always given the pub- lie its moneys worth and more.

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON
Here Is One Man Who Does Not Be- Iieve the World Will Give
 Up Sleep.

MT. Edison says sleep is bad habit, and that we shall some day get over it. Like drinking and smoking. it is to be among those things which we shall try in time to give up on the first of the year. He says people called him crazy when he said electricity would supplant all other motive power in transportation, and one therefore hesi- tates to say that he is crazy about anything. However, we will hazard 2 guess that if he is off his box any where, it is with respect to the pleas ant custom of indulging ourselves in a good sound snooze. How else we are to refresh ourselves from the days work we cannot imagine. The trouble with this objection, as it applies to Mir. Edison, is that he doesn't think we are wearied by the days work He and some of his associates worked at something for a given period of time 21 hours day, and they all gained weight! He leads us to infer that it is what we do when we are not working that wearies us. Thinking over It briefly, we believe there is something in that. Probably half the things we do in our leisure time is very hard work. The celebrated tired business man is only tired when his wife wants him to go out somewhere after din- ner. It is the opera and the fox trot that wear him out. Still, think of giv' ing up sleep! If it is a habit, it is nice one. We have got some glimpses of what MT. Edison means when we have tried to sleep in a chair car, but given feather bed and soft pillow, we don't get him at all. Last night, for instance. Wasn't the habit deli cious last night?-St. Louis Post-Dis' patch.

! Drennie. You were liking qualities in me that were really his qualities. Just because you had known him only in gentle guise, his finish blinded you to his courage Because he could turn to woman the heart of woman,' you failed to see that under it was the iron and fire' You thought you saw those qualities in me, because l wore my bark as shaggy as that scaling hickory over there. When he was get ting anonymous threats of death ev- cry morning he didn't mention them to you. He talked of teas and dances. I know his danger was real, because they tried to have me kill him-and if I'd been the man they took me for, I reckon I'd have done it. I was mad to my marrow that night-for min ute. I don't hold a brief for Wilfred, but know that you liked me first for qualities which he has as strongly as land more strongly. He's braver man than I, becuse, though raised to gentle things, when you ordered him into the fight he was there. He never turned back or fickered. 1 was raised on raw meat and gunpowder. but he went in without training"
 The girls eyes grew grave and thoughtful, and for the rest of the way she rode in silence.
 There were transformations, too, in the house of Spicer South. Windows had been cut, and lamps adopted. It was no longer so crudely pioneer abode. While they waited for dinner, girl lightly crossed the stile. and came up to the house. Adrianne met her at the door, while Samson and Horton stood back, waiting. Suddenly, Miss Lescott halted and regarded the newcomer in surprise It was the same girl she had seen, yet different girl. Her hair no longer fell in tangled masses. Her feet were no longer bare. Her dress, though simple. was charm ing, and, when she spoke, her English had dropped it's half-illiterate peculiari- ties, though the voice still held its bird-like melody.
 "Oh, Samson" cried Adrienne, you two have been deeeiving me! Sally, you were making up, dressing the part back there, and letting me patronize you"
 Sally's laughter broke from her throat in a musical peal, but it still held the note of shyness. and it was Samson who spoke.
 "I made the others ride on, and got Sally to meet you just as she was when left her to go East" He spoke with touch of the mountaineers over-sen-

 That evening, the four of them walked together over to the cabin of the Widow Miller. At the stile, Ad- rienne Lescott turned to the girl and said:
 'I suppose this place is pre-empted. I'm going to take Wilfred down there by the creek, and leave you two alone"
 Sally protested with mountain hos pitality, but even under the moon she once more colored adorably.
 Adrienne turned up the collar of her sweater around her throat, and, when she and the man who had waited, stood leaning on the rail of the footbridge, she laid a hand on his arm.
 Has the water flowed by my mill, Wilfred?" she asked.
 What do you mean?" His voice trembled
 Will you have anything to ask me when Christmas comes?"
 "If I can wait that long, Drennie," he told her.
 Don't wait, dear" she suddenly ex- claimed, turning toward him, and raising eyes that held his answer Ask me now!"
 But the question which he asked was one that his lips smothered as he pressed them against her own.
 Back where the poplar threw it's sooty shadow on the road. two figures sat close together on the top of a stile, talking happily in whispers. A shone on the deepness of her eyes, as her lips curved in a trembling smile "You've come back, Samson" she said in a low voice, but, if I'd known how lovely she was, I'd have given up hoping. I don't see what made you come"
 Her voice dropped again into the tender cadence of dialect.
 'I couldn't live withouten ye, Sam son. jest couldn't do hit" Would he remember when she had said that be- | fore?

Aunt Mittie Mills enjoyed wide reputation among her acquaintances for all the household virtues. She was as neat as the proverbial pin. Once, however. in order to sustain that repu- tation. she admitted resorting to de- ception.
 A neighbor, an intimate friend, pass ing her home. discovered her indus triously scrubbing her piazza floor, and sought an explanation.

 For moment, she only nodded but her eyes were bent on the road ahead of her. The man waited in tense silence. Then, she raised her face, and it was face that smiled with the serenity of one who has wakened out of troubled dream.
 You will always have that, Samson, dear" she assured him.
 Have 1 enough of it, to ask you to do for her what you did for me? To take her and teach her the things she has the right to know?" "Td love it." she cried. And then she smiled, as she added "She will be much easier to teach. She won't be so stupid, and one of the things shall teach her"-she paused, and added whimsically-"will be to make you cut your hair again" But, just before they drew up at the house of old Spicer South, she said
 T might as well make clean breast of it, Samson, and give my vanity the punishment it deserves. You had me in deep doubt" About what?' "About-well, about us I wasn't quite sure that wanted Sally to have you-that l didn't need you myself. I've been a shameful little cat to Will fred"

At the German-American Chamber of Commerce in New York Dr. Adolph Muller, an agent for the purchase of woolens, said:
 "A better spirit, spirit of toler' ance, is now manifesting itself On the boat coming over a French shoe buyer and an English cloth buyer shared my table with me and we got on well.
 Gentlemen said to those chaps one morning, we Germans and you English and you French are not all thieves, vandals and murderers. With us it is like the dog riddle.
