I wished I could encouraged 'em by tellin' 'em so--a word of praise sometimes duz so much good, to anybody from peasant to king. Among the statutes that I see to the Fair that stood up straight in my mind wuz Light and Darkness.
Darkness wuz in the form of two men, one on 'em crouched low with his arm over his face drawin' his mantle to hide from the light.
The other male is liftin' his head but his eyes are still shot, evidently he feels the dawn of sunthin' better and he's waking up, while standin' erect is the graceful figger of a female, beautiful and noble, full of boundin' life and light, holdin' up high over her head a star.
She wants to wake up the hull world to the light. Dakota wuz pictured as a lady with precious few clothes on; she looked old in her face, and I told Josiah it wuz a shame to see a woman that age with such a low-necked dress on.
