Dan Patch at the State Fair.

Every man, woman and child in the state of Indiana has heard of Da.11 Patch, 1:5G, the world's champion pacer, that has been engaged to pace an exhibition mile at the State Pair on Wednesday, Sept. 13. It is very fitting that -this wonderful speeder should be selected as the principal attraction for an Indiana Slate Pair, as he is an Indiana horse, notwithstanding tnat I11& pi sent owner, M. Yv. S.L\d-. .e, of iumneapolis, does not reside in the Hoosier state. Mr. Savage purchased Dan Patch from Dan R. Hessner Jr., of Oxford, Indiana, who bred and raised the fast horse, but no money could purchase him from Mr. Savage. At the time the sale was made by Mr. Messner it was predicted that Dan Patch would be the world's champion pacer, and these predictions came true*in a more sensational manner than was expected.

Dan Patch was foaled in 1896 on Mr. Messner's stock farm near Oxford, Indiana. He is by Joe Patchen and his dam was Zelica by Wilkesberry and granddam Abdallah Belle, the dam of Colette, 2:19^. Dan Patch's sire, Joe Patchen was by Patchen Wilkes, dam Josephine Young, 2:0H. Dan Patch showed remarkable speed when owned by Mr. Messner and after being purchased by Mr. Savage the latter had him especially prepared for speed and on October 26, 1904, at Memphis he crowned all his efforts by pacing a mile in 1:56. A few days before that he paced a mile on the same track -in 1:56±.

This is the horse so well known in Indiana in whom the people of the Hoosier state take such a great interest and which they will have a chance to see in action at the coming State Fair.

Tin? Storthing.

Norway's

legislative body is known

as the storthing, which means the "great court" and should be pronounced to rhyme with "courting." The second part of the word is identical with the English word "thing," as the Scandanaviaii languages, in common with Anglo-Saxon, have the same word for "thing" and "council." In modern English a trace of the second sense survives in the word "hustings," which came to mean the public platform upon which a candidate appeared at election time, though originally the "busting" was the council at which the candidate was elected, the "house-thing" or house council.

How Thermometers Are Made.

A small glass tube blown into a bulb at one end is partly filled with mercury. The mercury is boiled to expel the air and fill the tube with mercury vapor and then the tube is hermetically sealed and allowed to cool. The gradations are found as follows: The instrument is immersed in ice water and the freezing point is found and is marked. Then it is placed in water, which is allowed to reach the boiling point, and so 212 degrees is found. The spans between are marked by mathematical calculations.

Monkeys and Knots.

The monkey's intelligence has never been able to arrive nt a point which enables that animal to achieve the untying of a knot. You may tie a monkey with the simplest form of common knot, and unless the beast can break the string or gnaw it in two he will never get loose. To untie the knot requires observation and reasoning power, and, though a monkey may possess both, he has neither in a sufficient degree to enable him to overcome the difficulty.

Handing Oat a Hint.

School Director (to teacher)—We were thinking of having a nice motto framed and put over your desk to encourage the children. How would "Knowledge Is Wealth" do? Teacher—That wouldn't do at all. The children know how small my salary is, and they might draw conclusions of their own.

Sullivan and Doothi.

It is a pathetic as well as a humorous remark that Laurence Hutton in his reminiscences attributes to John L. Sullivan. When the news came of the death of Edwin Booth the great fighter In sincere sorrow remarked, "Well, there are snly a few of us left!"

THE STREET SHOW

Wallace's Parade is Like His Big Circus, Supi^riorin Every Detail.

Those who are disposed to be skeptical regarding the size and merit of the Great Wallace Shows will have all doubts dispelled by seeing the tremendous spectacular street display given by that concern on the principal streets of this city on Friday Septsmber 8 in Greenfield

The pageant of the Wallace Show is a complete surprise. It is a lengthy procession array such as can only be produced by the fortunate combination of unlimited wealth, undaunted courage, original ideas, and determination to eclipse all similar displays. That Mr. Wallace has succeeded in achieving his purpose is generally conceeded. His parade is like his circus. "The highest class in the world."

Long ago the short, small cages were taken out of the Wallace parade, this show being the first to use the big dens. Instead of the wooden dens, Mr. Wallace has adopted the monster steel cages and dens, each one being almost as large and as strong as the average railroad car.

Mr. Wallace was the first showman to make a feature of fine horses. He was the first to make a feature of the ever-at-tractive Shetland ponies, and this season he has in his parade and "horse fair," more of these children's pets than are to be found with all the other circuses combined. He is the only circus manager who insists on having every chariot, wagon, cage and den built new each season, and the same is true of the costumes, trappings and harness used by the Wallace Show.

Managed under such lofty ideas, it is not strange that the length, brilliancy, attractiveness and instructivenes of the matchless Great Wallace Parade is a revelation to all who have never seen it, while the constant progressiveness of this amusement institution also astounds those who have witnessed it annually. ^f ,r

Summer Colds

Summer Colds, Hay Fever, Rose Catarrh and Influenza might be classed as Summer Grip and are most distressing and exasperating, especially for those who cannot indulge in an ocean voyage or a trip to the mountains. The suffering is keen and acute for the stay-at-homes.

Dr. Humphreys' Specific' 'Sev-enty-seven" has earned a well deserved reputation as a cure. The use of "77" stops the sneezing, relieves the asthmatic condition, soothes and heals the mucus membrane the running from the eyes and nose ceases and comfort is restored.
