Through a blur Of tears, the girl
looked down and saw the tiny. sharp

She moved her hand on the rail to
lean further over, and her soft fingers
touched his hand for a moment. She
would not draw them away quickly,
lest she hurt him; why. she did not
know, but she could not-would not
hurt him. Not now! The two hands
lay side by side for a full minute, and

to gather the little hand into his clasp

had Of perfect consciousness, con-
seriousness of the drawing Of soul to

know and understand each other.
Then a sharp whistle sounded, and
a farmers boy with a new rake and
a sack Of o r on his shoulder came
sauntering briskly down the road to
the bridge. Instantly they drew
apart, and Celia felt that she had
been on the verge Of d~isloyalty to her

A FINE EXHIBITION

The state fair at Grand Forks, which has Just closed.
has borne out all the announcements made concerning 1t.
1t has become customary to say Of the fairs, state and
local. held in this city. that each was the "best ever
held" The expression has become stereotyped. But
there is something more in the statement than a mere
form Of words. and q formal compliment to those who
have had the work in charge. 1t is a simple statement
of fact, and, as it has been used accurately and %truthfuly
in the past, 1t can be so used today, for the fair just
closed had points Of excellence which surpassed all
others.
The record Of these fairs is a record Of Continuous
progress. Varying conditions of weather, roads. and
other surroundings have influenced the attendance and
the order in which the programs could be carried out.
But the whole fair enterprise has been conducted with
the thought that each number was q member Of an
enduring structure. and that it must be as nearly perfect
as human power could make ii.
Without question the great outstanding feature of
the series Of fairs held at Grand Forks is the live stock
show. The exhibits in other departments have been
numerous and excellent, but the stock show, above all
other things. has given the enterprise its distinctive
character. In this the fairs have been a valuable con-
tribution to the development of the northwest, for
through them there has been demonstrated in an impress
aive manner that in this great prairie country, where the
raising OF live stock has been quite popularity believed
to be possible only as an Insignificant side line, this in
dustry, so valuable. so Indispensable in a well-rounded
agricultural life. is both possible and profitable on a large
scale and that our territory can produce in a practical
way and on a commercial basis as fine stock as can be
found on the continent The enterprise which has aided
in demonstrating that has performed a magnificent work
for the northwest.
All Of the entertainment features have been main
tanned on a high plane, and the chief feature in this de-
partment. the great pyrotechnic spectacle, surpassed any,
thing heretofore attempted in this line This attraction
alone was sufficient to attract a large attendance. and
many hundreds of people from a distance who had been
unable to visit the fair during. the day drove In in the
evening in order to witness this display.
The Herald again extends it's congratulations to the
management on its success with this fair. and to the pub.
lie on the fact that men SO capable have been found
willing to serve it 30 capably year after year.

Enforcement Naturally impossible

representative fou, IN the course of the debate on
the prohibition bill which is low before the house. said
the other day that when congress undertook to say that
. woman must not make a quart Of blackberry wine in her
evn home for her own use, and that a farmer must not
make a gallon Of cider, also for his personal use. it was
snacting a law that could never be enforced.
Unfortunately. most Of those who favor extreme pro-
hSbition legislation do not appear to take into account
the probability or improbability Of the enforcement of the
legislation which they advocate. They confine their ef-
fort TO getting laws on the statute books. and appear to
feel that when that Is done everything is accomplished.
They forget that . law affecting personal habits II en-
forced and enforceable only IN 90 far as it is4n accord with
the sentiment Of the community In which enforcement is
sought
Public sentiment Is very largely against the indis-
eriminate and uncontrolled sale Of 1ntoxicants. There
has been q continuous and very marked growth of send-
ment In favor Of greater restrictions on such sale. And
bseause Of that sentiment It is possible to enforce such
restrictive laws in very many communities with at least

VISIONS.
There are hills too steep for our feet to climb,
There are goals too far to gain,
And in every breast there's a glorious best
The dreamer shall never attain.
For the poet dies with his songs unsung,
And the artist at last grows faint,
And he sinks to sleep and the grave must keep
The pictures he'd planned to paint.
We never can finish the work Of life,
Nor live to our fullest here.
We must carry away from it's house OF clay
The vision we've cherished dear.
We dream fair dreams for the years to be,
But merchant and toiler, too,
And the soldier brave, takes into the grave
Some deeds. they had hoped to do.
Perhaps they sing vt their sweetest now,
Those poets of yesterday,
And have caught the themes Of the golden dreams
Whichatcame from the far away. yg-s4ass
Perhape the painters on canvas true,
Now see with a clearer eye
And paint the things Of the visionings,
That were theirs in the days gone by
Oh, never we reach to our fullest height,
And never we do our all;
We must turn away, at the close Of day
When the tools from our fingers fall
But it isn't failure to hold a dream,
That meyer on earth comes true,
For the tasks of worth that We miss on earth
Are. reserved for our souls to do.

such a task. even with a moderate degree of:thoroughness
q force as numerous as the great army which is now be-

this man had done She had forgot
ten for a little while those terrible
things he had said Of her dear dead
father. How could she have forgot
ten for an instant! How could she
have let her hand lie close to the
hand that had defled itself by writ,
ing such things!
BY the time they were seated in the
train, she was freezing in her attitude,
and poor Gordon sat miserably beside
her and tried to think what he had
done to offend her. 1t was not his
fault that her hand had lain ear his
on the rail. She had put It there
herself. Perhaps she expected him
to put his over it, to show her that he
cared as a bridegroom should care

hurt that he had stood coolly and said
or done nothing. But he could not
help 1t.
