You can see any day a white horse; did you ever see a white colt? Why does a horse eat grass backward and a cow forward? Why does a hop vine wind one way and a bean vine the other? Where should a chimney be the larger, at the top or bottom, and why? Can you tell why a horse, when tethered with a rope, always unravels it, while a cow always twists it into kinky knots? How old must a grape vine be before it bears? Can you tell why leaves turn upside down before it rains? What wood will bear the greatest weight without breaking? Which is the most elastic? What is the length of a horse’s head—is it as long as a flour barrel? What animals have no upper teeth in front, and why? * * * * * Any advertised dealer is authorized to guarantee Banner Salve, for tetter, eczema, piles, sprains, cuts, scalds, burns, ulcers and any open or old sore.

Bryan issued a statement to the press last evening, in which he gives his version of the story that Aguinaldo had promised him financial aid in one of his campaigns. Bryan says in this statement that two Filipinos wanted to confer with him in New York. He refused to meet them. He sent a friend, to whom the Filipinos said that Aguinaldo was willing to surrender, in case of Bryan’s election to the presidency, and was also willing to contribute to Bryan’s campaign fund. Bryan says he refused to consider either proposition. * * * * * 60,000 Roses in One Bed. What sightseer at any exposition ever saw 60,000 roses blooming in one bed? It is a sight never before enjoyed by any visitor to any fair. Yet on the morning of July 4th William Scott showed to the thousands at the Rainbow City a single bed of roses covering an area of 1,500 square feet and having over 900 plants or bushes bearing over 60,000 roses, all in bloom. The roses in this superb special show were all of one rare and exquisite variety, crimson ramblers. This is not a loose, quick-dropping rose, but a hardy, beauteous bloom that grows in clusters and flourishes gloriously.—Buffalo Express. * * * * * The Owensboro fair will be held Aug. 13 to 17. Premiums and purses are more than double those of former years. Special attractions never before seen on a fair ground will be exhibited free of charge. The Owensboro Derby for $1,000 will be the first day. The American Band of Chicago will furnish the music during the fair. The most novel feature advertised is Neremus, the bull wrestler, who will meet and defeat the wildest of bulls every afternoon. Neremus will go into the ring without weapons of any kind, and will forfeit $10 for any bull he cannot subdue, and that without injury to the animal. * * * * * Bumps or Bruises,
