fingers and thumbs driven in, but the only
case where the hide was taken off was when

II understand there has been a meeting

replied, Ito talk over matters of impor-

THE wORLD,S FAIR,

It would be difficult to devise a
simpler or completer plan for secur-
ing the most desirable entertainment
during the Worlds Fair, than is offer
ed by the Worlds Fair Temperance
Headquarters, at Harvey, Illinois.
The place is most conveniently located
for the purpose, only twenty minutes
ride and with a probable five-cent fare.
Great Sunday meetings will be held
there throughout the Fair. Lodging
can be engaged at once, aud among
those paying in advance will be dis
tributed One-half the profits of the
undertaking. The enterprise is most
fortunate in the management 1t has
secured. 1t has the approval Of all
the religious, temperance and reform
papers in Chicago, aud the cordial
support of the Worlds Fair authorities
on public meetings. We are planning
to make onr headquarters there and
hope the readers of this paper will do
likewise.
