A DONATION Asked From State by Fair Association I I Officials of Great Northern Start the Movement—Meant SIOOO From State and County. President Nidlinger and Secretary ' Kunkle are sending out the follow ing self explanatory letter to the various fair associations of the state: Dear Sirlt seems that in the put large sums of money have been appropriated to the State Fair Association. and believing that the peopie of the state are more directly interested in the w.dfure of county associations, which are ordinarilly tun at a loss, we write yon to ascertain, if possible, your views on the feasibility of introducing and at tempting to procure the passage of a bill through the present legisla t ire appropriating aid to county org inizations and authorizing boards | of commissioners to grant aid. also; • for instance, say that an annu»l appropriation of 9500 be made to ; each county association by the state and autnhority given boards of ; commissioners to grant an add! j i tional 9500 out of county funds. We believe that if this matter is taken up by the different associations that the jiassage of a bill to that effect can be procured as we have some assnrance from members of the legislature that it can be dona.

If this meets your approval, could we not hnv» a meeting of fair assorit.ticn members nt the lmp°rial in Indianap dis on the day I of February, 1905, at 10 o'clock a. m. Please answer this at once and if ' we can get the consent or agree-! ment of ten or more associations to I have representatives there on that | dav I wiil »hen write you to that effect. Make the matter certain. Very truly yours, J. D. Nidlinger, President, C. D. Kunkle, Secretary Steele.

LAND OF FLOWERS AND SUNSHINE California Woman'i Utter of Special Interest to People in Decatur At ths season of the year a letter from the land of flowers and sunshine is of special interest to our readers. Tiie following letter from the Holden Drug 00.* of Stockton, Ual., one of the largest drng houses on the Pacific coast, is of especial interest. They write: "Enclosed is a letter from one of the most prominent residents of this city. She will not allow her name to be published in the newspapers, but we can furnish it to anvone writing us.” The letter is as follows: "For some four rears my daughter had had headaches, which seriously in terfered with her school work Until recently' we attributed the trouble to eye strain, but happening to notion your advisement of Hyomei, we were satisfied that her trouble came from catarrh. We purchased a dollar outfit, and with in twenty four hours great relief was experienced, and the loosening of mucous matter and the reduction of throat infiamation began. Sixty clay’s nse of Hyotnei made nearlv a complete recovery, which wc consider very satisfactory after nearly four years of expense and fruitless treatment by other methods. and that we feel grateful is to put it mild.” Mrs This letter shows tßat many cases of sickness and debility are simply caused by catarrh and that they can be cured by Hyomei This is nature's own method of caring catarrh, medicating the air you breathe. A complete outfit including the inhaler, costs but DI, and extra bottles are only 50 cents. Ask The Holthouse Drug Co., to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell this remarkable remedy. THE GREAT TITIAN. Ill* Ha, an 111 Kmbra«-ln* Oenlur., Courtly, Serene. Majestic. At once a genius and a favorite of fortune. Titian moved through his long life of pomp and splendor serene and self contained. He was of old and noble family, born at Pieve, in the mountain district of Cadore. By the time that he was eleven years old bis father. Gregorio di Conte V ocelli, recogniad that he was destined to be a painter ami sent him to Venice. where be became the pupil first of Bellini ami then of the great artist G tontine. From the first Indeed be enjoyed every privilege that an artist of Lis time could need. The doge and council of Venice recognized his ability, as did the dukes of Ferrara and Mantua. As the years went on kings, popes and emperors were his Mends and patrons. In his home at Biri. a suburb of Venice, from which in one direction the suowclad Alps are visible and in the other the soft luxuriance of the Venetian lagoon, be maintained a princely household, associating with the greatest and most accomplishe<l meu of Venice, working on until be had reached the age of ninety-nine years. Even tlten it was ■uo ordinary ailment, but the visitation of the plague, that carried him off, and such was the honor in which be was held that the law against the burial of the plague stricken in a church was overruled in this case, and he was la! 1 in the tomb which he had prepared for himself in the great Church of the Frnri.

No artist's life was so <x>mpletely and sustaluedly superb, and such. too. is the character of his work. He was great in portraiture, iu landscape, in the palutiug of rriiglons and .mythological subjects. Iu any one of these departments others have rivaled him. but bis glory is that he attained to the highest rank iu all. He was an artist of univers::! gifts. His was an all embracing genius, courtly, serene, majestic. He viewed the splendor of the world in a big. healthful, ample way and represented it with tfie glowing brush of a supreme master of color.— Charles H. CaSfin in St. Nicholas. Ar Odd Opinion.

HISTORY OF SHEEP. Atikoclaatrd With Mwnklnd From the Earliest Kaawa l)n>n. Os all domesticated animals the 1 sheen lias from time immemorial been moat closely associated with mankind, writes It. Henry Hew in Outing. An erudite author sixty years ago, having ( laboriously collated an assortment of i ■ allusions to sheep made by sacred and i profane writers, concluded that “the history of these animals is so Inter- , woven with the history of man that 1| they never existed in a wild state at all. Biblical history from the time of Abel is full of allusions to the docks which formed the chief possessions of the Jewish [>eople ami their neiglilwrs. The spoils of war ynd the tribute of vassal kings largely consisted of sheep. Thus we read that Mesha. king of Moab, was a sheep master and rendered unto .he king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams with the wool. Moses after his victory over the Midlanites obtained as loot no less than 675.000 sheep, and long before the Christian era sheep were cultivated in western Europe. Spain and Italy possessed them from an unknown period, although long after Rome was founded the inhabitants bad not learned to sheer the fleece, and until the time of Pliny the practice of plucking it from the skin was uot wholly abandoned, so long that the humble shepherds of Syria prei-eded in their knowledge of necessary arts the future conquerors of their country. A Tale of “Tippins.” To tip or not to tip the person who bnt docs his or her duty is a question recalling au incident set down in WaiI*ole's "Reminiscences" of how a king once unwillingly encouraged the custom. “This is a strange country," commented George I. “The first morning after my arrival at St Janies I looked out of the window and saw a park with walls. < •..al, etc., which they told me were mine. The next day Lord Chetwynd. the ranger of my park, sent me a brace of earp out of my canal, and I was told that I must give 5 guineas to Lord Vhetwynd's servant for bringing me my own carp out of my own canal In. my own park.”’ Anecdote of Lent. Carroll. Canon I.iddon wrote this in his diary roncerning an incident of a holiday tour he took with his friend. Charles L. I>otlgson. better known as Lewis Carroll: "Dodgson was overcome by the Iteauty of Cologne cathedral. I found him leaning against the rails of the choir and sobbing like a child. Then the verger came to show us over the chapels he got out of the way He said that he could not bear the harsh voice of the man in the presence of so much beauty.” Jnst Debts. "And what were the provisions of your uncle's will?" "That I should have all lie left after the payment of his just debts.” “Ah. very good of the old man. wasn't it? Whit did he leaver’ “Just debt’ ’—Chicago Recoril-He-“d‘ - _ I I
