OF bronze, but at heart is a coward
A kind of moral runt,
But of HIM whose mind scars upward,
As it were, on eagle wings,
And reposes in the eternal,
Unenslaved by transient things;
Whose soul is poised superbly,
Or if he ride or plod,
By the strength that comes of goodness
by faith that comes of God
That man is ne FER wholly unhappy,
Whatever cross winds may blow,
And he even plucks solace
From out the deepest woe.
The darkest storm-clouds that gather
Must part and fade away,
And the blacklist night that hovers
Gives place to radiant day.
Not ours to unfold the future,
Or learn what it may hold;
For you may rose dawn tomorrow
The glorious age of gold
Meet life, then, with noble courage,
Misfortune with brave song,
And thou shalt learn the full richness
or being good and strongl

The Life Heroic.

How idle and vain to worry,
When life is but span,
And the sooner will its dim limit
Be reached by the worrying man.
Fate brings into every station
Hard things we can not control
Enough, if we will allow them,
To tantalize the soul.
MiSfortune's share of mortals
And comes alike to all,
But if we will grip it bravely
We soon may make it thrall.
The evil you are bemoaning
Has Swallowed the life before
OF thousands who heroicly faced them
And triumphed ere life was DER.
But prone is vain man to worry,
And groundess grief to find;
For most of life's great mountains
| Are mere phantoms of the mind.
We know not our greatest blessing,
Nor value ife's best boon,
Mistake for demons angels,
Which may come veiled in gloom.
Learned men of lofty station
Laments his lack of health,
And the double-fsted rustic
Laments his lack of wealth.
The king must envy the peasants,
And the peasants must envy the king.
And each does vex his spirit
About some paltry thing.
Struck even are all worldly positions,
And rank is but name
To swell the strutting idiot
And fill the wise with shame.
The guided fool is followed
By satellites who admire,
But all his bewildering splendor
Is a consuming fire.
IT'S the man that makes the station,
Makes his faith, his hopes, his joys;
md the really wise and noble
Hold lightly fortunes toys.
To act ones part most nobly,
However low his lot,
Is something kingly and Godike,
Though the world may know it not.
IT'S the greatest art of all living
To bear cheerful mind
Amid this worlds vexations
And show forth the divine.
Nothing is more vain than sorrow,
More empty than regret;
Aud cheerfulness buoys and braces
For the battles coming yet.
Heaven sends to the most down trodden
Something to cheer the heart,
If they look for good, not evil,
And heroic bear their part.
Nothing is of great importance
That this world can bestow,
And death, dark death, no disaster
Ii one clear passport can show.
The strong man alone is happy,
He who may master his fate
And smile amid disaster,
And love ia world of hate.
/ speak not of him the Wanting bully,
Who bears naughty front

Monster Crowds Two Days.

Good fortune seemed to smile on the
local association this year. While the
weather looked a little threatening at
times during the first three days of the
fair, the shower and wind storm of
Thursday evening was the climax to
the day of all days-Thursday, when
the largest crowd during the fair is
always expected. The attendance on
Wednesday was estimated at 5000,
while that of Thursday was practical
ly the same.
One of the most pleasing features of
the fair was the absence of skin
game" confidence men and pickpock-
cts, all of which seemed to be in evi-
dence at some of the county fairs in
the state, notably at Jefferson, as one
Watertown man can vouch for to the
tune of $3.50. The local police depart
ment had some outside assistance in
keeping watch for the slick ones who
make a practice of following up the
fairs to grab off piece of easy money
They came to grief in Watertown, for
as soon as they were spotted, they
were Immediately given an invitation
to make themselves conspicuous by
their absence.

All Records Were Broken For Attendance
and Number of Exhibits and Entries
in all Departments of Show.
GOVERNOR Phillip AND MAYOR BAD|NG GUESTS
Members of Milwaukee NJ. and M. Association Here
on Booster Trip-Every Visitor More Than
Pleased-Speed Events a Big Feature.

The 1915 fair under the auspices of
the Watertown InterCounty Fair as
sociation goes on record as being the
largest and best in the history of the
association AS was stated in the Lea
der last week, every department was
filled to overfowing with exhibits of
the highest order. The midway fea
lures were the best ever seen on the
grounds, and much credit for the same
must be given to the Nat Raiss Carni-
val company, which furnished the lar
gest portion of the same. The speed
events were all exceptionally good and
there was a good program of races the
first four days of the fair The free
attractions, including the daily balloon
ascension and parachute leap, were all
of the highest order and interesting in
the extreme.
Best of all, there was not an acci-
dent of any kind to mar the pleasure
of the occasion,in spite of the fact that
scores of jitney buses were running
daily, in addition to the hundreds of
rigs which entered the grounds, to
say nothing of the interurban service,
which was excellent and handled the
mammoth crowds of Wednesday and
Thursday nicely and no kick" could
reasonably be registered against the
same.

association, who went home, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Free Press, sing
ing the praises of Watertow, Ocono-
mowoc and Columbus, the three cities
visited during that day on their trade
boosting expedition.
The M. and NJ boys were a busy lot
during the day, rushing through two
receptions and the local fair. Here,
they were greeted by officials and citi-
zens of the city and from here they de-
parted for their home a happy but a
tired lot,nevertheless enthusiastic for
the agricultural prospects, for the
business outlook, and for the three
cities to which they had paid visits.

Governor met the Milwaukee party
here. They were joined by Mayor c.
