THE CENTRE COUNTY FAIR,
Bigger and Better Than Ever—Large Par.
#08 for Horse Haces-Free Wild West
Show,
The big Centre County Fair next
week will be tbe biggest and best ever
held, if the weather man is kind
enough to give propitious weather,
Every arrangement has been practical-
ly completed and the management
is confident of all succ2es of the
twelfth annual exhibition of the Cen-
tre County Agricultural Exhibiting
Company which will be held on Tues-
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day of next week, Four days and
every day will be a big one, Liberal
premiums and increased purses are
having their effect and the indications
are that every available foot of space in
the large exhibition building and the
produce and fruit tent will be taken
and the outlook was never brighter
for a big string of race horses, And
everybody who comes to the fair will
be accorded the very best of treatment,
A county fair without races is not
much of a fair and in this respect the
Centre county fair this year will un-
doubtedly surpass that of any previous
year, Through the generosity of the
business men of Bellefonte the purses
have been increased to a figure that
makes them an ohjsot worth while to
every horse owner in the State, A
$300 purse both Wednesday and
Thursday and $400 for the big free for
all on Friday is wortn going after and
horsemen will be here to contest for
the big money. Then io addition
there will be a running race each day,
and everybody knows the excitement
of such a race. Frank Smith, of Baf-
falo, N. Y., will be the starter and
this fast not only assures horseman of
a equare deal but the general public
also that the races will be pulled off on
time.
There will be the usual large dieplay
of farm implements and machinery
and from the numerous applications
already received for concessions on
the * The Pike ”’ there will be plenty
of amusements to entertain the crowd.
No gambling dens or devices, how-
ever, will be allowed on the grounds.
Tompkins’ wild west show as the
free attraction this year will be away
above the average. One of the fea-
tures of this attraction is a basket ball
game on horseback between Cowboy
and Indian teams. A beautiful young
lady will perform marvelous tricks on
the best educated horse in the state.
There will be broncho busting and las-
go work of the most thrilling kind
snd daredevil riding sufficient to
make your hair stand. All this will
be absolut:ly free and will be shown
near the judge's stand daring the
races,
Don’t forget the fact that Wednes-
day will be Children’s Day, when all
children will be admitted free.
Bring them to the fair and let them
see what Centre county is doing along
every line that interests the farmer.
The fair is an education in itself and
the children of the county should be
given the advantage of learning all
from it they can. Therefore bring
them in on Wednesday when it won't
cost you a cent for their admission.
Don’t wait for one special day as be-
ing the big day. Every day will be
big so that you can’t afford to mise
one of them,

They Were Scid One by One, Yet the
Set Remained Intact.
An old curiosity dealer of Paris re-
cently found a new snare for the eter.
nally guileless amateur. He put in his
window five dolls dressed in vaguely
medieval clothes. Collector No. 1 came
in and asked to buy one of them. The
dealer could not divide the lots, as they
were a valuable set, representing the
five senses. After long persuasion the
amateur at last carried one off at a
very long price.
Collector No. 2 followed. Could he
have one of the dolls? “Out of the
question, sir: a most valuable set, rep
resenting the four seasons™ After
more long persuasion and at a still
longer price one of the dolls was sold.
When amateur No. 3 called the three
dolls were the three graces, a most
valuable set. which could not be di
vided. By offering an enormous sum
he carried off one of them.
Amateur No. 4 called and wanted to
buy one of the two dolls. What was
monsieur actually proposing? The two
dolls were Adam and Eve, sculptured
and dressed by some forgotten medie
val artist. The pair could not possibly
be parted. The collector eventually
carried off Adam for a gigantic sum
Amateur No. § called and asked: “How
much for that curio? Evidently an odd
one of a set.”
“An odd one of a set!” screamed the
dealer. “It 1s a unique plece. Does
not monsieur perceive that it repre
sents Agnes Sorel, the favorite of
Charles VIL? And the amateur se-
cured the unique plece for a fabulous
amount.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
