HUMOROUS QUIPS

The Pursuit. [They are chasing norse thieves with motorcars in Kansas now.—News ltem.J Come, crank your swift auto ana jump to the wheel: We neea all the strength of its quivering Steel. For forty-live horses art gone in the night. And we mußt give chase to the robbers In flight. If forty-five horses are stolen and gone A motor of sixty should catch them by dawn. And we'll run down the thieves as they gallop away And string them up high, as they do In t Play. Across the “pray-rare-ree'* we buoyantly bound With wheels that seem scarcely to stay on the ground. The sparker Is working with perfect eclat. The piston is doing much better than that The— Hist! "There's a cloud In the distance,and—seel— Tne robbers are scattering tacks as they flee! Swing off from the path! Take a chance at the fence! The way that she cleared it is something Immense! And now we are close on the trail—let 'er ■. go.! ■■ They're riding their best, but their best Is too slow. You tend to your driving. I’ll shoot when 1 'must/ Bang! There is one robber who’s bitten the dust. Surrounded by autos they give up at last; The horses are saved and the robbers bound fast. And the manager says he Is sure it will go As the finest of films at a vaudeville show. —Berton Braley In Buck.

A Pedagogical Tragedy. Dorothy is in the fourth' grade, and she gets good marks iu everything except arithmetic. When her father asked her why she made such low marks in arithmetic she replied thus: “Well, it is like this: The teacher says. ‘Four plus 8 minus 3 multiplied by 2 divided by 6,’ and asks me what the answer ls. She talks so fast I can’t keep up with her. and 1 have to guess the answer. and I always guess wrong.”— Harper’s Weekly.

Why the Kitties Cried. Wallie, aged six, found four little kittens in the cellar. A visitor, being told of them, expressed a desire to have a peep at the new baby pussies. Wallie went to fetch them, and soon pitiful mewing was heard below. “Don’t hurt the kitties, Wallie,” called out bis mamma. “No, mamma,” shouted the boy. ‘Tm Bringing them up carefully. I’m carrying them by their stems.”—Scraps.

Novelty. “I thought you told me you had something original in this libretto,” said the manager scornfully. “Here at the very outset you have a lot of merry villagers singing ’We are happy and gay."’ “You don’t catch the idea at all,” replied the poet wearily. “The ‘g’ is soft It should be pronounced ‘happy and Jay.’ ’’—Washington Star. Fate of the Unfamiliar. “I understand that you have two brand new jokes in your dialogue.” „ “Yes,” replied the musical comedian. “What are they?” “You recognize them by the way the audience treats them as strangers and refuses to give them a smile.”—Boston Transcript. " A Winner. “Yes. Inkem got up a summer novel that immediately became a best seller.” “That so? Something new in the plot?” ‘ ’ - “No. But when it came to the page where he described the looks of the heroine be bad his publisher Insert a mirror.”—Life.

PEOPLE OWN THE FAIR

Hoosler Exposition Has Double Tie to the Public of Indiana. The State Fair is to be held at Indianapolis the week of Sept. 12, and people from Hoosier town and city will turn it to account as a playground while from the Hoosier farms men and women by tens of thousands will tiirn to it as a source of education and inspiration, while they also will extract from it as much pleasure as does the urban element. Nothing in Indiana year after year brings together so many thousand people as does the fair, and they assemble there in the spirit that the exposition belongs to them, as it really does, under the state Taw

which created the fair in 1851 and which from that year to this has guided its destiny. To have a fair, it must have a directing force, and the state provided it by creating the State Board of Agriculture. To make the fair in truth representative of- Indiana people and interests, the legislature has always held general control of it, the Board of Agriculture being the medium for assembling the exhibits and conducting the fair. To give the fair a double tie to the people, the membership is made up of representatives of counf' fairs and agricultural societies, and their membership is made up of people from the farms. In the organizations behind it and in the knowledge and enjoyment it gives them, the State Fair more closely comes to the people than does any other organization in the commonwealth. To keep the fair management without the pale of undue influences, the law makes the Hoard of Agriculture a non-partisan body, and the hope of gain cannot be an incentive to obtain membership, for the members receive $5 a day for only time actually in the service of the fair, amounting to about S6O a year. The members can have no personal interests in the fair or its property. Each member is elected for a term of two years, and he continues in service only as long as the agricultural district which he represents says he may. Capability means a continuation on the board for the reason that experience adds to the wprth of a member In fair management, yet the membership is constantly undergoing changes. The fair grounds Ls one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in Indiana and it belongs to the people. It ls held in trust for them by the board, which cannot sell or incumber the property without permission from the legislature. The fair is not operated for the profit of any man, not even for the board which conducts It. Its profits year after year are turned back Into the upbuilding of the exposition. Therein lies the secret of the fair’s continuous expansion and the abiding faith which the people of the state have in it as a source of education to the farmer and wholesome enjoyment to every class.

BATTLE IN THE CLOUDS

Pain’s Great Aerial Spectacle At the Indiana State Fair. The most elaborate spectacle ever offered at the Indiana State Fair will be given the week of September 12, when Pain’s new pyro-aero-military display, “Battle in the Clouds” is presented. It will be a big night attraction of the fair, given on and above the infield of the racetrack, where 25,000 people may witness it in comfort. Experience of other years has shown the fair management that the crowds cannot atl be taken care of at the night horse show in the coliseum, and “Battle in the Clouds” been provided to give pleasure to as many thousands as may go to the exposition in the evening. “Battle in the Clouds” undertakes to give a look into the mode of warfare which may prevail in the year 2,000 A. D., when airships, aeroplanes, aerial torpedoes and deadly gas ( grenades become the engines of human conflict. The spectacle will require a stage 400 feet long, behind which will be stretched sceneries reaching to sixty feet in height, showing a progressive city of the time. On its streets will be several hundred men and women in costumes to enjoy a fete day, with processions, sports and acrobatic pastimes. When the fete is at its height, wireless messages bring word of the approach of an enemy’s air fleet, and suddenly the scouting vanguard floats over the city. The forts open fire with electric shells, driving the aerial monsters into retreat, but soon the main fleet advances and opens the attack. The fort and the fleet open a terrific bombardment of fire shells, aerial torpedoes and bursting bombs, filling the heavens with fire, electric flashes and thunderous detonations. Some of the airships are disabled and leave the firing line; one explodes high in the air; another becomes disabled and dashes to the ground, its men escaping in parachutes. The airships bombard the city’s fortifications with high explosives, fire balls and grenades. Battery after battery is silenced And finally the magazine is blown up. Towers and buildings in the city fall and burn and devastation and ruin follows. The spectacle is marked by vividness and thrilling excitement, and Includes elaborate vaudeville and Artworks. \
