sufficiently to sit down, and about that
time a lady member yentured to ask II they
had sickness In the family. She was told OF
the affection which had overtaken Charley,
and she was all sympathy ut once. She
had suffered Just SO herself, and the only
way to cure the trouble was 10 make cold
applications upon the outside OF the cheek.
So she went home, and Charley's wife
made a neat little bag and filed 1t with
chopped Ice, and then tied 1t on his face
with long red stocking.
This had the effect OF changing tn Q pain,

He could feel the hair stand upright on

prepared by the hands Of q generous mother
Tor a large family. The more the Jaw en-
larged the louder the young man howled
and rolled about in his chair. His wife
was several years younger than he, and her
sole experience with the toothache had
hitherto been limited to one or two mild
attacks caused by an excessive consumption
of caramels She had usually cured her
pain with creosote, and as soon as Charley
had found time between his groans to tell
her what was the matter with him she got
the creosote bottle and told him to open his
mouth and let her see the tooth which was
troubling him. He complied, but as she
could not tell by the looks which one OF the
teeth was making the trouble, and as Char
ley could not enlighten her, she thought
she'd better pour little Of the stuff into
the neighborhood of where she thought 1t
probable that the tooth was located.
Just as she got this idea into her head
she happened to think that there was an
other toothache panacea In the house. 1t
was in small phial, which peddler had
left there for trial.
She thought that 1t would be good plan
to mix little of this stuff with the creosote
and pour the mixture upon the infected

One of the chief factors contributing
more largely than any other to the
rapid settlement in this region was
the building OF the Northern Pacific

NOTES.

Every day at the grounds looks more
spring like than ever. It is consequent
ly enjoyed by visitors from the north
more than all others, and can hardly be
realized.
There is no lack for lunch counters
and nut stands, and such refreshments
while in the grounds, and one can be ac
commodated at very reasonable rates.
1t is nice to take a ride on the river
by steamer either to or from the Fair
Grounds. Then better view of the
city, Exposition grounds and surround
ing country can be had.
The centre or strict Omitted States
department" in the Government build
ing is one of the strongest features of the
exhibit. 1t reminds one of visit to
Washington city to go through here.
The various national departments are
admirably presented to the public for in
spection.
A little girl on leaving the Main
building the other day remarked, "Oh,

OUR EXPOSITION LETTER.

Interest like the attendance increase,
with the Exposition. Ever since thu
opening of Mardi Gras, which of Itself
brought many visitors to the city, tn,
Fair has been receiving daily increase
OF patronage as, evidence by the funds
which have grown into the thousands Of
dollars every day.
The management is consequently
greatly encouraged, and everybody be-
ing better pleased with the exhibition
are Of course happy. In fact no rea,
sonably liberal person can well be other
wise. 1t is true the public were deprived
of visiting the Art gallery until last
week on account of the delayed arrival
Of the pictures, and the disappointment
likely to occur if the contents of the
gallery were not all hung and tastely
displayed before the doors were thrown
open. But while such is the case there
was enough to entertain and instruct
within the other buildings.
INDIANA.
The Hoosier State, Prof. W. f. Cha
yer, commissioner, is very attractive
and catches the eyes of the visitors as
he or she goes along its labyrinths.
The grain and vegetable displays are
frst-class, as we'll as the manufactured
articles on exhibition. Minerals re-
ceive attention as an industry of Indi-
ana and coal is the chief. Several spec
linens of native woods are shown. The
United States Encaustic Tile company's
exhibit is good.
MISSOURI.
Prof. T. f. Hilder, is one of the
youngest commissioners within the Gov
building, but makes very
pleasing display of the effects of his
state. Corn is king in Missouri and the
specimens sent along the grains compare
very favorably to any "staff of life"
states. There is handsome little pa
coda trimmed with broom corn which
shows off well. In liquors, wines and
beer, especially the latter, the state pro-
duces many fine brands. Manufacture
ing is to some extent carried on, out
side of Touring mills with which it
abounds. St. Louis however supplies
many Of the articles on exhibition in
this department both agricultural and
manufactured.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
This state so far to the northwest in
being represented c. G. Bryant, seems
TO have commissioner whose every eff
fort is in behalf of New Hampshire.
As manufacturing state of much i'm
9ortance its specimens of goods attest.
Some 200 varieties Of native woods are
IN exhibition, and some samples of fine
granite and other building stones are
sent all the way from the quaries to the
Exposition. An adjustable invalid bed,
md fine steel cutlery combine to make
display not to be excelled. A shearing
Machine for clipping sheep, horses and
mules is most useful and ingenious
instrument. An excellent profile map
# the state carved from and painted on
wood is to be seen.
