NICE" chimed in proud Philadel-
phian, well up in Centennial lingo.
"A vewy poah showah, spoke a
fine haired New Yorker. mot even

mooseum on Bwosdway!"
"a reglar sumner who thunk

You uns kin see everything here, u
was the critical observation of al ex-
rebel registered at Podunk House as
"Jeens SKIES tar River, Bunkum CO.,
North Carliny."
Exquisite young ladies with giltedg-
ed escorts, and superfne maids with
family notebooks, constantly perambu-
late the buildings and grounds with
the choicest of enthusiastic encomiums
upon the Worlds Fair.
80, isn't this nice ?"
"Do look at that! p
"See, here are olive wood ornaments
from Jerusalem, Bethlehem-neck
laces, toys, etc, and chairs from tim
Der grown in the Garden of Gethsem
ane, price 5000 each y
And there are rare goods from
Tunis, Egypt, Algiers, China and
Japan
Mister. what is the price Of these
beads?'
"Tree dollare and half!''
well, what do you sell them for in
your country p
Mister" shrugs himself significant
ly at this impertinsnce, but says
easily:
"Twenty-fve cent. But the dooty
make him cost so mooch !"
Elsewhere the couple wander
They halt where the Chainaman
makes many of those tricks, bought
elsewhere on account of their repre-
sented association with hallowed
scenes. He is dextrous workman,
but there are other things to see
Here are huge specimens of mineral
iron, copper, and other ores, and coal
from all the regions-except George E
Greek.

At any given point and at all points
so the tide runs. The crowd surges
over the grounds, in and out of build

twelve it sets toward the restaurants
including the Turkish Bazaar, where
green youngsters struggle with long,
tailed meerschaums at fabulous prices
for the poorest of luxuries; or, more
sensibly, to the Vienna Model Bakery

down, side and cross-wise, 'dashins

Main Building, until at evening
with tired limbs, they are glad to ge

The Maryland Building is equal il

our State by its display here, thinks
Maryland peculiarly "fshy," and, un

The building seems to be in charge o
