it is one that has been taken with
profit to numerous housekeepers

once more what all community

the county fair should be to the
county. The man who lives apart
from his fellows is sure to deterio­

plete he becomes a savage. On
the other hand, the man w ho

preciates their efforts and who
profits by what "they have done,
will develop the best there is in
him^will increase his knowledge,
and will more nearly approach
the ideal of civilization.
For the county the annual fair
affords the best opportunity for
these things and teaches by object
lessons as no other institution can.

Tke Fat Dog ia tke Family.
Earl Barnes, seven years old
lived with his parents in Chicago.
Earl had a pet d o g ; it bit him in
the nose September 13th ; on the
23d rabies appeared and the child
was rushed to the Pasteur institute.
There w j y no hope of saving the
life of the little fellow.
In wild agony the lad bit himself
and snapped at the furniture; his
condition was so rabid that seve­
ral hospitals refused to admit him.
O w ing to his hopeless state he was
taken to the cdynty hospital, and
to end his agony he was chloro­
form ed, and kept under the influ­
ence of the anaesthetic until h e
