They arc types of health.) -womanhood, this mother
and daughter, and their intimacy is almost sisterly.
Almo'iK.every vrmi-m has seen once or twice the
counterpart of thesi types of healthy womanhood.
And everywoman knows how rare they are.
Why is it that such splendid womanhood is so
rare ? Theianswer takes us back to days before the
daughter's birth. No mother can have a healthy
child who is not herself healthy, Weak women do
not bear strong children. The mother must have
more thart enough strength for herself before she
has any to. give her child. The average mother
knows the weariness and nervousness of those days
before baby comes. She knows that her strength
goes out of her, her heart turns to water. She
shrinks from the agony worse than death which
crowns her with motherhood. Aud each recurring
period of such suffering leaves its mark alike on
form and! face, until she is worn and wan aud weak.
There is salvation from such suffering. There
is a way by which weak women can be made
strong'nvomen and sick women can be made well
women.
A WOMAN TELLS HOW.
I cannoUsay too much for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion," write3 Mrs. S. 13. Rose, of Big Otter, Clay Co., West
Va. " I feel it my duty to say to all women who are suffer
ing front female troubles that it is the best medicine on earth
that tliey can use. I cannot praise it too highly for tie good
it has clone me. I am the mother of five children, and have
been as Jiigh as eight days in the doctor's bands, and never
less than two days at any time uutil the last child. Then I
had used two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and was only two hours in the hands of the doctor. You
nave my nearueit tuanics tor the good your medicine has
done me."
It is claimed for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion that it makes weak women strong and sick
women well. That claim is borne out by the testi
mony of thousands of women who have given
"Favorite Prescription" a faithful trial. It gives
strength for the trial of motherhood. If it did this
alone it would be a godsend to women. A medicine

tion " does more than give a temporary strength for
a temporary trial. It gives a permanent strength;
a strength that brings with it sound sleep and quiet
nerves; a strength which has enough and to spare
for the care and nourishment of the baby.
" WE ARE" BOTH HEALTHY."
"I was pleased that Dr. Pierce answered mv letter."
writes Mrs. C. VI. Vcang, of 21 South Regent St. (Lee-J
Park), Wilkesb.irre, Ij. "I am perfectly willing for vou to I
use my name m 1 eddress, ; s I think it my duty to let the
people know wli... a wonderful medicine you have. When j
1 nati tliose mishaps I uegan to think I would never have
children, and my husbaud always said that if I would take
your medicine I would soon be all right. My back used to
almost break and I would get sick at my stomach aud have
such headaches I did not know what to do ; they used to set
me nearly crazy, and I used to dread to get up, I felt so bad ;
then I began taking your medicine. When baby was ex
pected I took it all the time I was that way. I felt fiue all
the time and I never get those dizzy spells now. I hardly
ever have a nervous headache any more. I have a perfect
romp of a boy ; he is the light of our home I am now
twenty years old and my baby is almost eight months old.
I feel well, and weigh 180 pounds, and the baby twenty
three and one-half pounds. We feel very grateful for the
good your medicine did for us. We are both healthy
thanks to Dr. Pierce's medicines."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
medicine for woman at all ages and all stages of her
life, It is a perfect regulator. It dries the drains
which weaken women. It heals inflammation and
ulceration and cures female weakness.
Sick women suffering from chronic forms of dis
ease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free.

Harford, Sept. 27. A glorious sunny
day, an attendance of over C.OOO per
sons, nn Interesting programme of
events nnd a Jolly good time by all
who attended tho second day's fair of
the Harford Agricultural society. That
is tho history, briefly- epitomized, nf
yesterday's exhibition bore. But ther
Is a great deal that deserves to be toU
In detail, for from the tlmo that tne
crowds began swa'-niiii- Into the galea
In tho early morning hours until they
commenced to swalm out again n lltt-o
nfter 4 o'clock, It was 11 gala scene of
life, activity and merriment, and all
that ha J been ndvcrtlrcd by the nfll.
ceis of the fair to entertain the throngs
was carried out to the letter.
There were over 5,000 men, women
nnd children In tho pretty park used
as a fair giounds before the time set
for tho formal opening. When It Is
realized that at lenst nine out of every
ten of these came In vehicles and com
paratively few afoot, some faint Idea
of the groat array of horses and car
riages of all kinds that lined up In 11
mammoth procession on the mile-long
steep hill may bo had. The Immense
new barn of the society, recently built
at a cost of $3,000, was crowded full of
noises nnd they were tied In endless
rows to mil fences, posts and every
where within the radius of sight, while
the empty buggies, surreys and eveiy
style of wagon weie dispelled over an
area manv acres in extent.
Inside tho fair grounds tho building
devoted to exhibition purposes were
tilled with 11 splendid collection of al
most everything that can be grown,
made or preserved. The ladles' hall
was a maze of wonderful things
knitted nnd crocheted and the thou
sand vailetles of line needlework,
drawn woik and nuibinldeiy was lirst
e lass and away abend of even the umiiiI
excellence of this portion of the ex
hibition. Floial hall was redolent of
the spicy odor of choice fruits, vege
tables, horticultural specimens and
pastry, enough to make n dyspeptic
groan because of Inability to enjoy
them.
Tlie building devoted to school ex
hibits had Its walls covered with choice
specimens of Juvenile skill In penwork,
drawing, maps, nliuis and a great deal
of credit should be given to the teiacii
ers of Susquehanna county for the bril
liant exhibit they furnished. The best
special exhibit was made by the school
children of Brooklyn and it was a good
one.
There was an open space of about an
aero staked off and roped for an arena
for the exhibition of the special fe.i
tuies provided by the management for
the entei tainment of their visitors.
Here occurred tho vaudeville features
of tho fair, if they may bo so called.
FORMAT. OPHNIXO.
At 11 o'clock the formal opening took
place. A piocesslon was formed, with
Superintendent Harding mounted on
fine black hoise leading. Behind him
came the Harfoid Comet band, seven
teen men, with a handsome uniform of
buff and gold ttlmnilngs. Behind these
marched tho bns and git Is from the
Soldiers Orphans' m hnnl, headed by
their line band, composed of little fel
lows from eight to fifteen yens and
including twenty pit -es. The Juvenile
band was dressed 1,. regular aimy
musicians' uniform, with tho two white
stripes on tho trousers, although most
of tho musicians wine knlckerjiockers.
The remainder of the boys, about
eighty, were attired in the 1'nlted
States nrmy uniforms with their olll
cers appioprlatcly attired. The gills of
the school weie neatly uniformed also,
some wealing blue nnd white and
others pink and white dresses. They
had their ollicers also. '.
After this came the judging of
horses. The equine aristocracy wcro
driven Into tho enclosure, and there
put thiough their paces for the en
lightenment of the judges und tho edi
fication of the spectators, who In im
mense numbers pressed forward on the
ropes. Tho candidates for red and blue
awards were either led, driven singly
or In pairs around a miniature ling of
about S00 feet, while they were under
tho keen eyes of tho umpire. This was
done in every case, and as eery clns
had numerous entries It took nearly
two and a. half hours to got It through.
Tho Immense dining hall on the
grounds, as well as the one outside,
were taxed to their utmost. Tho one
insldo has Its own equipment of crock
ery, spoons and table furniture of all
kinds, marked in light green letters
"Harford Fair Society." This saloon
seats nearly 200 persons nnd as It was
crowded for several hours there must
have been many hundred dlueis In It.
Tho waiters were tho best-looking
girls of tho locality, and despite tho
great rush, did their duty to their cus
tomers well. 1
HITCHING CONTEST.
After dinner, tho first event in tho
arena was n hitching contest for wo
men. The conditions were that tho
woman who could first harness, hitch
to wagon and drive a horse should re
ceive a premium of $3 and tho second
quickest, $3. There were six con
testants, one of them a miss about 13
years old, the only child. The horses
were denuded of every bit of harness
and tho fair contestants stood with
the head harness in her bands when
tho word was given. Tho winner of
the first premium, Mrs. S. A. nreese,
of Alford, did tho stipulated work nnd
cracked her whip nnd suld "Gee-dap,"
In Just one minute nnd ten seconds.
The next in readiness was Graco
Stearns, of Brooklyn, and tho third
was tho little girl, who was badly
handicapped by her inability to reach
up to the tall horso she was trying
to dress. Letlia French, of Jackson,
was her name, and It seemed as If she
was entitled to n special premium for
her ability, under the circumstances,
Tho next in order was n drill by the
boys from tho orphan school. They
were divided into two companies of
forty each, ono of amnll and ono of
large boys, nnd gave a flno drill, under
Military Instructor Bambrlck. Before
the drill, the band of boys In blue gave
n concert to tho delighted multitudes
and acquitted themselves admirably.
They wero led In this by Prof, Bauer,
of Bauer's band, of Scranton, Then
camo tho balloon ascension. It was
given oy tne jewen rjrouicrs, 01 Tren
ton, N. J., nnd the balloon soared up
to over 1,500 feet boforo tho aeronaut
cut looso his parachute nnd cnrnlo
sailing gracefully down in a field, half
a mllo away.
TI16 last feature on the programme,
nnd ono thnt excited great lntersst
among the farmers and their families
was tho pulling contest, between teams
of heavy draft horsoc. A stono boat
wns loaded full of rocks and each
team took tuffis In trying to pull It.
Additional weight was added after
each try, until the strongest tenm was
found. This proved to bo n powerful
pair of dappled grays owned by W. E.
Bennett. A. C, Salisbury's team wns
next strongest.
At 4 o'clock the bugle call enmo for
. .
tho soldiers' sons to fall In for the
homeward march for the school, nnd
then the crowds began to disperse.
Long lines of vehicles wero soon toll
ing up nnd down tho steep hills In
every direction, nnd In nn !.tr or so
tho grounds were nearly deserted.
The display of cattle was particu
larly fine nnd overflowed tho boun
daries that In years gone by had prov
ed nmple. Tho fair In every depart
ment excelled any previous ono ever
held and the officers feel very well
satisfied with the outcome of the big
gest exhibition ever lield In Susque
hanna county.

Oliver Callahan Working with Re
newed Energy A Close Race Be
tween tho Contestants in Eighth to
Twelfth Places Two Must Drop
Below Tenth at the Close.
Tho Tribune's Educational Contest Is
another day nearer the close. With but
two days Intervening before the llnal
hour tho Interest Is becoming Intense.
Nearly every contestant mnong tho
leading ten scored points yesterdny,
but there was little change In position.
Oliver Callahan has taken up the work
with renewed energy and succeeded In
passing Arthur Keminerer, leading that
young man by two points. D.ivld lilrt
ley made tho largest score of the day
and appears this morning S3 points
nearer first plnce. It will require 43
more to tic Charles Uodilgucz, who
continues to add to his score each day.
Miss Jennlo Meyers made the next
largest score and succeeded In Increas
ing her hold on third place, but wns
unable to get any nearer to second.
Miss Mary Yeager made another big
gain and Is now within 10 points of
sixth place. This young lady has made
a remarkable record. Entering tho con
test on September 13 she has climbed
rapidly nnd steadily upward, and If
she Is able to continue her pace during
tho next two days will land close to
the top on Saturday evening. Harry
Reosc succeeded In tleing Miss Fannie
K. Williams for eighth place It Is a
problem who of tho contestants occu
pying eighth to twelfth position will bo
below tenth place at tho finish. Two
of these must of necessity be last, but
which two It Is Impossible to tell. Their
own efforts must decide..
