I'mllting hy the fairs of the past they have improved upon everthing even In the almost im possible Hrt of extracting moro money from visitors. Strnngc tales como from ..the west of tho great came, of graft which Is being worked thero. Not the most insignificant want of the public but has been anticipated, and the means of soiling or supplying that want has boon syndicated, monopolized or con ceded, and tho dear people will pay. An order has been issued that no camp stool or other piece of furniture to sit upon shall bo brought Into tho fair grounds. This is to make good tho seat graft. A follow has purchased theseat ing privilege and visitors lo this fair, getting jreary, may not sit down to rest until they havo paid for tho privilege unloss they use tho pavement. In tho refinement and greed of its schemes for getting money out of tho public this fair surpasses all. Thero was rocently erected In Surrey, England, a drinking trough for animals on which appears this Inscription : "In memorial of tho muto fidelity or tho four hundred thousand horses killed and wounded nt the call of their musters during the South African war, in a cuuso of which they knew nothing." In that brief statement lies a powerful sermon on the cruelty of war from a standpoint seldom considered. "In a causo ef which they knew nothing" hundreds of thousands of nohlo animals ordured tho the tortures of hunger und thirst inseparable from war In a desolate country, met death by exhaustion, starvation and wounds, and in many -i:.e.ances wero torn by vultures b foro they woro dead. Even now from the far East come reports that tho Russian cavalry Is In much distress, their horses dying for lack of food and tens of thousands of those animals will leave their bones on tho battlefields and tn the swamps and morassos of their Ion? and terrible marches. ".All In a cause of which they know nothing." If war is terrible for men, who receive all possible medical care and attention, what must It be for tho horses who re ceive little attention and aro abandoned when wounded to dio by inches V No more horrible fata can befall a mortal than to be burled alive. That it frequently, very frequently, occurs there 1b sad and positive evidence. Scarcely Is a graveyard encroached upon for any purposo to any great extent that skeletons are not found in positions which suggest tho most fearful of sus picions. Recently in Minnesota, in a removal of bodies from one oemetery to another, no less than fifty woro found who had turned in their cofllns or had their hands clinched in their hair. Thnre is a trance1 condition which the medical profession does not seem to un stand, in which the hoart may cease to boat, the blood to clrculato, and res piration bo suspended, and with all the appearance and rigidity of deiAh, lifo still exists. In some proven cases the Bubjoot was even distinctly conscious of all that was oocuring around, but with out power to manifest it. An instauco recently cccured at Springfield, Mass., whore a young lady was about to be burlod whon her brother arrived from tho west and begged to seo tho body. The casket was opened and her terrible condition, the toaring out of her hair, the torn shroud and the straining eyes, made itoertaln she had been placed in the casket whllo yot alive, and recover ies had suffocated. For death there is but one Infallible test decomposition Either the dead should be kept until decay commences or an operation per formed to render life Impossible Neither Is pleanant to think of, but in' finitely pro'erable to the untold agony of an awakening in the grave.

Competition is tho keynote of medcro business. It Is practiced by practically every business man In tho race for wealth, and Is perfectly legal. Hut in plain words it is nothing but tho ru'o of bruto forco. Thero is no material dillerencc between tho wealthy business man setting up in business alongside of a weaker ono and proceeding to take away that woakor one's business by money spent in selling at a loss, and for him to accomplish the same purposo by direct forco of arms. It Is not fairness. It is simply the triumph of strength over weakness, without regard to moral right or wrong. Tho Advertising Agency of W. S.
