Scenes at Nebraska Fair
(Continued from Pag Nine.)
were built and not only the funds appro
printed to this end, but the space also was
exhausted, so there was no other source
of satisfactory adjustment. The stork show
was not only remarkable because of num
bers, but because It was a Nebraska show.
This fact was due largely to the manage
nicnt at Hamllne refusing to release any of
tho exhibitors' share until Saturday even
ins. September 6. How narrow-minded and
sliort-slgnted must be a board that could
not at once see that this would injure their
fair for the future. Exhibitors who were
treated thus this year and did not get to
Nebraska with their stock at all, simply
Bald that they would never return to Ham
line with an exhibit. But when any stats
can fetch out such a number of really good
useful show animals of every breed as was
produced by Nebraska this year. It may
well be classed a leader. Thus far, there
has not been a single fair whose exhibit
was so purely the product of its own state.
The agricultural exhibit was certainly one
that would do credit to any state In the
corn belt. In fact at no state fair thus far
has there been such a magnificent and dem
onstrative display of agricultural products.
From Rock and Holt counties to the north
to Furnas and Hitchcock on the far south
and west the state was represented by the
products of diversified farming. And what
a conclusive manifestation It was of the re
sources of Nebraska soil. Saline county
ranked first on the number of points in Its
collective exhibit, with Howard county fol
lowing closely for second. The premiums
offered on these county collective exhibits
greatly enhance and swell the display in
agricultural hall.
The display of machinery and agricultural
Implements was remarkable, to say the
least. Manufacturers have learned that
this is a progressive and resourceful state,
and if they have a worthy article and can
prove it no one will try it more readily
than these people who on account of the
scarcity of hired help and the high wages
exacted by them must employ every possi
ble means of moderating labor on the farm.
So the manufacturer comes here, erects a
permanent building and places his machines
before the farmer and the dealer. It Is a
succefsful and productive as well as In
expensive method of advertising.
For the success of the Nebraska State
fair let us give credit to President J. W.
Dlnsraore, to Secretary Robert W. Furnas,
to the superintendent of every one of the
many different departments and to the
patrons of the fair. But there is still one
criticism to be made. The arrangement of
the awards In tho live slock department
was In no wise satisfactory or commend
able. That idea of a class for "Nebraska
bred animals" is wholly without a redeem
ing feature. This fair, as all others, should
make competition In every class open to the
world and invite our neighbor stockmen to
come and compete with us. What good is
derived by a breed If a man wins without
competition. True, this method encourages
some home breeders to come out, but there
are no loyal breeders In the state who are
fair and aggressive who would not meet the
best in the land. Open wide tho doors and .
Invite the world to share with ns the pleas
ures of competing for Nebraska premiums.
They will never know the quality of our
. stock nnd of our agricultural products until
thry have met us in the show ring.
The Terrible Turk
(Continued from Page Five.)
"My belief is," said another, very darkly,
"that you are all Greek pirates and havo
come here with the Intention of Investigat
ing the fort, and we are perfectly justified
In slaughtering you at once."
To all of which our Turkish Bhlpmate re
plied In kind, with not u suggestion of a
mile about his lips.
As all the world knows, the Turks are ln
flnite!y better as soldiers than Bailors. I
once saw a battalion or Turks, at drill at
Scutari, and their tactics were faultless.
But the drillmaster was n coal-black negro
not an Arab, but an African negro, with
egg-shaped head, woolly hair and thick, pro
truding lips. He had those troops under
perfect control. They seemed to undrstand
his every movement and obeyed each com
mand with the unity of a school of herring.
In this battalion was a company of Bashi
Bazouks. My preconceived idea of a Bashl
Busotik he who has been committing
wholesale massacre in Macedonia waa that
he was a big, black, bewhlskered creature
with a murderous face. The sentry who
kept us from going too far up the parade
ground waa a Bashl-Bazouk, but It required
a great deal of convincing talk to persuade
me that he was any such thing. In the
first place, he had light brown hair and
blue eyes, and an innocent light moustache
over thin weak lips. When you spoke to
blm he crinaed sheepishly ami acted like
an embarrassed country bumpkin come to
towu to see hJa city relatives.
Pictured His Wants
Tom Browne, the English painter, who
has achieved wide fame, although still very
young, waa once en errand boy for a Not
tingham lacerr.ukcr. Once when on a tour
In Spam, unable to speak the language, be
pictured his wants.
Alpheus II. Stickncy
(Continued from Page Four.)
In this cool, calculating, quiet and de
termined business man one would scarcely
look for the thread of romance, and yet
tls there. He la the hero of one of the
most Interesting of dramas and it la not
nwiwnry to unfokl all the pages of his
life to read the last of this unique chapter.
Alpheus Stlckney Tell ptey to Cupid when
a mere boy and before he knew It the lit
tle cherub had complete mastery over him.
His young sweetheart reciprocated his af
fections with equal ardor and the bethrothal
came to bo looked on in that little New
Kngiand town as a matter of fact. Suddenly
a strange obstacle appeared and for some
reason unknown to the village gossips young
Stlckney and his girl friend were not seen
together.
"A rival," was whispered, and sure
enough it was so. Another had found her
way into the recesse of the future rail
road president's heart. Time passed and
the couple married. The girl ho had been
the Idol of young Stickney's affections re
mained single.
About four years ago. which was long
after the death of Mrs. Stickncy, the pres
ident of the Chicago Great Western slipped
from SR Paul back to Boston, confiding his
mission to no one but his Immediate rel
atives and private secretary. Somehow It
got out and an Industrious society reporter
had the whole story in print ready for Mr.
and Mrs. Stlckney to read on their return
bridal trip from Boston. The old, old boy
hood and girlhood love had not died and
the beautiful Summit avenue home In St.
Taul now can tell the happy ending of that
little story which began many years ago In
old New England.
Carpenter's Letter
(Continued from Page Twelve.)
can flour, on another, American hams and
upon others canned stuffs from fish to
fruit. There were peaches, pears, plums
and apricots, as well as canned tomatoes
and other vegetables. There were cans of
chicken and turkey, and of bacon, tongue,
ham and corned becf. Sweden raises plenty
of oats, but our rolled oats and cracked
wheat are selling here.
This country has some of the best Iron of
the world, and It makes some of the best
Bteel. Its people buy carpenter's tools from
the United States, and the beat axes used
in tho great lumber Industry come from
America.
Sweden Is now Importing heavy machi
nery from the United States. It recently
bought twenty-one American locomotives,
and It is likely to Import others. It Is
buying considerable mining machinery, es
pecially for the large iron mines, which are
being opened up In the far north, and the
heavier kinds of agricultural machinery,
such as reapers and mowers, are In steady
demand. Altogether there are many things
made of Iron which we ship to this one of
the chief iron and steel making countries
of Europe.
Indeed, our hardware and machinery arc
so good that they are copied, even to the
trademarks, by both the Swedes and the
Germans. These people are pirates and a
patent means nothing if It is not taken
out in their own country. I was shown
gas radiators at Brussels which were ex
act copies of the American article. They
had been made In Sweden and were sent
to Belgium for sale.
The American Importer who was handling
them said he had built up a trade in Amer
ican stoves, but that he could sell these
cheaper and could make more money out
of them. I see here in Stockholm pitch
forks marked American forks. They are
made in Sweden, however, and are sold
at a less cost than we can export them. If
they break It will be a discredit to the
Americans and not to the Swedes, as they
are called American forks. The Swedes
have no law against the home use of for
eign trade marks. Their laws provide only

that foreign goods shall not be sold as
Swedish goods.
In Russia I found the merchants selling
machines marked as American which were
made. In Sweden after American models.
It is the same here as to clocks. The lit
tle nickel-plated dollar kind are to bo seen
everywhere. They came In first from Amer
ica, but are now only a cheap German im
itation, which makes Its way on the reputa
tion built up by our goods.
Stockholm has an exiort bureau devoted
to pushing Swedish trade all over the
world. In a chat with one of the officials
1 was told that the prejudice against Amer
icans wus Cant (musing away. Paid tills
man;
"There are so many Swedes In the United
Statis that we look upon it as our sister
country. When we buy of you we feel hs
though we were trading with our brothers,
und in general we sre disposed to favor
American goods. On the other hand, you
are our competitors as lo certain things,
nnd in those we have got to tight you.
"There are many branches In which
American trade might be increased." the
official went on. "One of the chief is in
the importation of the American nhoe.
There are shoes sold here nt $5 n pair,
which do not equal the American machine
made shoe which pells for 3 or $3.60. AVe
have a tariff on imported shoes, but not
withstanding thut you could sell your shoes
at u profit.
"There Is also an opening for all sorts of
Tankee notions and small machines, for
foodstuffs, and all sorts of little things.
American locks ure used here, American
lead pencils are to be obtained at the sta
tionery stores, and American desks nre in
demand, notwithstanding this Is one of the
chief wood manufacturing conntries of Eu
rope. What we should like to have Is n
reduction In the American tariff, nnd we
should not object to a reciprocity treaty."
