The Iowa State fair, now open, Is tho forty seventh annual exhibition of the society, and with this experience back of tho man agers It Is morally certain that despite un favorable conditions for the Iowa farmers, this fair will be successful ln every way. Thero had been so much said about tho crop losses and tho discouragements for the farmers tho past season that tho fair managers began to feel dubious about the fair of 1901, but by Judicious advertising nnd determined effort to get out tho ex hibitors they secured the largest list of en- trlfg ln lhe nlstory 0f the fair, There are nearly 1.R00 entries In the departments of cattle, horses, sheep and swine. The speed entries are fully up to tho usual standard and nil races will bo given. In tho ma chinery departments thero will not bo ns much heavy machinery, but ln tho lino of the smaller agricultural Implements nnd novelties for tho farms nnd shops, the ex. h 1 1)1 1 Is excellent. In poultry and brcs the exhibit Is good. Tho fruit nnd agricultural products aro smallor than usual, but In tho matter of manufactured products the ex position building Is well filled. Ono cause of annoyance to the fair management has been the fact that a change was mado ln the time of closing ordinary entries, from Saturday night to Friday night, with th result that hundreds of exhibitors who brought their stuff here wcro shut out. This was especially true ln tho fruit depart ment. No Nnnriny Fair. For many years It had been tho custom to have tho fair open on Sunday, but this was not done and the gates of the fair were j open todny only to those who havo busi ness on ine grounus, i uo lair lu uKiuin proper commences on Monday.

KANSAS C1TV, Aug. 25. Captain James McQueen Forsyth, U. S. N who had charge of the naval station at Key West during the Spanish-American war, pent today in Kansas City whllo enrouto from San Francisco to his homo nt Phil adelphia. To a reporter Captain Forsyth talked of tho Schley-Sampson controversy, nd tho paper will quote him as saying: "While wo havo been Instructed by tho Navy department not to discuss the merits of the caso, everyone knows that the navy looks upon the controversy ns nn unfortun ato affair. Wo believe thero was plenty of glory for nil concerned. "Tho fact that a Junior man was placed In command above his seniors Is responsible for tho wholo matter. Sampson was n cap tain and tho seventeenth ranking officer of tho navy. No one over thought him ns tho successor of Admiral Slcard and I don't bcllevo ho ever thought of It himself. But ho was familiar to tho people, of Washington nd they decided to placo him ln command. Of course, tho officers who outrnnked him did not like It. It Is not to bo expected that thoy would. But Washington said Sampson and that settled tho matter. Schloy was among tho officers outranking Sampson nnd as he was thrown directly under the Junior's command, he naturally felt tho promotion more than any of tho others. "Tho battle of Santiago wns ono of tho most brilliant In history. Regardless of who was responsible for such effcctlvo exe cution thero was glory enough for both Sampson nnd Schley. Tho proscnt controv ersy only serves to dim tho brilliancy of the victory nnd It Is to bo greatly deplored. That anyone should question tho bravery of either of tho men Is particularly unfor- unato." Captain Forsyth, who will bo retired Sep tember 15, under the forty-years' servlco act, has been associated with Admiral Schley nnd Sampson at different times dur ing his long life In tho navy. When ho left Key West he took command of tho battle ship Indiana. Later ho was chief of staff for Admiral Watson ln charge of tho Asiatic squadron, and for tho past several months has been second ln command nt tho Mnro Island yards at San Francisco. Captain Forsyth left tonight for St. Louis, where ho will spend a few days beforo proceeding to Philadelphia. For .lohnnon Count)- .Sunday School, TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug. 25.

Last Christmas Mrs. M. B. Necdham, n widow of 19S Dodgo street, received ns a gift from a friend a solitary rose, mado moro benutlful by Its loneliness; but at tached to It wns a strango looking paper, which declared that tho possessor was en titled to 200 shares of copper stock. This friend was a western gentleman with whom tho lady had been acquainted for years. Ho wanted to send something as a token of their friendship, nnd. mnn- like, couldn't think of a present that was suitable, so sent tho stock certificates. Mrs. Necdham laid tho certificates aside, not thinking that they wero of any value. A friend seeing them ono day told her of tho truo valuo of them and excited her Interest. Sho looked Into tho matter nnd found that Amalgamated Copper was going up rapidly. Then tho fuver of speculation entered her veins, she Bcanncd tho stock reports daily and gleefully watched hor stock soaring higher. In the meantime she was diligently securing all tho knowl. edge she could on stocks nnd securities. nnd tho further sho got Into the mysteries oi mo game tno moro enthusiastic sho grow. When copper got as high as, in her Judgment, It would go, sho sold out, and tno lounuation or her fortuno was laid, iuosi. women would havo been nntlnB,i with ns much as she had mado. hut nnt Mrs. Needham. Sho was made out of differ ent material. Tho game was too fascinat ing, too delightfully glorious, you know. as sho said, and sho loved to experience tho oxcucmont it Drought. Sho now undor siunas mo newllrlerlng terms, nnd, whllo fiho didn't plunge, sho dabbled quite ex tensively, ai nrst sho thought that tho very orthodox folks among her acquaint- ances would raise their hands In holy horror at mo thought of her speculating and all tho transactions wero carried on throuch agents outside of tho city. Her courago. however, grew with her successes and now sho knows of no reason why tho matter mould bo secret. Every parcel of stork she has bought has gone up several nolnts and sho doesn't hesltato to let eo when sno tninKs it has rison nil that It can stand, Sho has outstripped many of tho profes- sionni siock DroKers that havo been In tho business for years, as everything she touches seems to Jump at onco.

Of course I rely to a certain extent on somo kinds of advice. from somo kinds of people, but as a rule I follow my own Inclinations. In following mat plan I have been quite successful and If I should fall my only regrets would bo that I did not have better Judgment. There Is no reason why a womnn shouldn't Invest hor money ln stocks as well as men. It Is truo that thero Is a great risk ln tho busi ness, but tho gains moro than compensate for the risks. I never Invest more than I can stand to lose If my Judgment should prove faulty. I foci that ono should novor risk their all on anything.

If a drop of honey lies near the surfaco of o (lower tho slender, actlvo tongue, darting out from tho caso formed by mo maxiuae, iicks u up with tno samo easo that a dog licks a plato. Should tho tubo of the flower bo elongated tho beo has nt command another length of tongue, which Is shot out from within and shuts up llko a telescope when no longer wanted. io appreciato ruiiy this dollcate organ you should watch the bee separato It Into Its component parts and clean It out. Tho lengthening process of tho proboscis, as the tongue and Its allied parts aro sometimes called. Is accomplished by n serlos of springs nnd hinges. In addition to this telescoping power the tonguo Is a hairy member, tho hairs arranged In rings, tho longest ones toward tho center. They assist In lifting In the nectar and In pumping It Into the mouth. Thence It goes to the honey sac. A I'nluiie Nuhjeef.
