A fine display of watermelons and citrons is promised. The show ot table articles is very full in all departments and in the fine arts and domestic manufactures there is such a large offering the managers are in a quandary as to how to show them, the present building, which has been of amply sufficient capacity in past years, being entirely too small to accommodate the exhibits entered this year. Thomas Lloyd's skeleton wagon, used on Uaion Course half a century or more ago, will be shown. The large exhibit of wagons and harness will require more tent than in previous years and the show promises to be an unusually good one. The large exhibit of curios will include an exhibition of the war weapons in use by savage tribes of Africa, shown by a returned explorer.

Dr. Talmu ge is advertised in the Capital of Los Angeic.s. "A lecture by the Rev. Lr. T.

DcWtr; Tal ma ge without his smile would be like a flash of lightning with the light left out. And such a smile. It would frighten gloom from the torture of a toothache and chase joy on the wings of tho morning. It. spreads nut like an overflow at the mouth of the Mississippi and sinks in like the depths of.

the ocean. With a countenance solemn and as homely as the sphinx, the smile breaks over like the silver rift in a storm cloud or a dancing sunhe am across tho gloomy mouth of the Mammoth Cave. The whole man is transformed and the morgue like shadows disappear in the glowing brightness of the noonday sun. You can see that smile as it twinkles and wrinkles in corner of the eye. then slowly steals downward and skirmishes along the expanse of check to the twitching lips, until it charges ail aloag the line, captures the whole countenance and is lost in the mouth, which opens like a widening crevice in the earth's surface or tho bellows to a church organ.

Such a smile would sh chill and lonesome on an ordinary mouth twelve or fifteen inches wide, but on this one it gam hols like a frisky cult at piay on a new mown lawn, and with the sprightly movements of a dog firmly attached to a tail coupling to an ignited bunch of cannon crackers. It is none of your fair weather smiles, hut. one that gives a Graeeo Roman fail to dyspepsia arid plants mirth on the face of sorrow in three rounds. It is a genuine brain reaching risible wriggler, as spontaneous as a kitten's antics, lingering a.s an unpaid bill, mysterious as a woman's reason, sudden as an unpleasant fact, receptive as a baby's mouth, as infectious as smail pox, with the get there quality of a bed bug, and would tickle an Indian cigar sign into hysterics. "It scares sorrow, creates mirth and throws out the longest pole to knock off the laughter persimmons that vcr converted gloom into a side show, or turned melancholy into a circus.

"ft ebbs and flows like the ocean's tide and leaees as much space on the place it travels as the serpentine fluttering of a feather on a bald man's head. But its effect on the audience is like tho opening of spring, or cream and peaches to a hungry tramp. It fust passes over one like tho mist of a gentle rain, gradually curls tho corners of the mouth with tho suddencss of an April shower, and finaliy bursts over the countenance like a rainbow of promise, and merges into laughter that peals forth like the rumble of thunder from the gentlemen and sits enshrined in tho exquisite dimples on beauty's check like the glistening dewdrop on a shell pink rose. It is a ninth wonder, and stands upon the face of Dr. Talmago like Edmund Damps on his tiny island in mid ocean, exclaiming: 'The world is "It is a grin winner with a blue ribbon tied to its tail, and drives away slumber like a Mimietonka mosquito.

"It is a grin that would maltn a monkoy laugh and waft a breeze through a baboon's whiskers." ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION. Seventy fourth Meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge Called to Order.

It is a pleasant i walk to the village from tho soldiers' hospital and some of the convalescents try it occasionally.
