back In my room IN the Leland Ho-
tel but cannot sleep the sleep of in
nocence. Below me in the crowded

supreme sway. From the mouth of
the faiker and peanut man comes an
incessant yawping in a damnable
minor key pitched just high enough
to reach my window on the fourth
story.
l visited the building devoted to
mines, mining and agriculture to day
and mixed unfortunately with the
nabobs and missionaries of all nations.
Bedlam has found her second edition
in this building and the jargan of the
Frenchman mixed with the prattle of
Italy, Germany, Austria, Batavia,
Japan and other foreign countries
gives the listener the snakes and
drives him mad.
Thousands of boxes labeled with
all sorts of colored plasters are still
piled Unfortunately upon the floor
waiting to be opened for exhibition.
Occasionally Director comes upon
the scene and gives an order to have
something done. He then departs
as quickly as he appeared and almost
instantly he is followed by another
boss who makes another order in di-
rect conflict with the first man, but
someone tries to follow the advise of
both and the result is grand mixing
up of boxes, crates and original pack
ages.
The Nevada display of minerals
and agricultural products is located
in the center of the building and on
account of its size was readily placed
in position for inspection.
The Nevada headquarters are in
the Utah building where Old Ne
vadans can find familiar faces and
good poker players.
The best drawing card SO far has
been the prehistoric footprints from
Nevada, and thouaands of people in
spect them daily.
Contrary to the laws of the Fair
grounds, several amatuer photo
graphers have taken snap shot views
of the plaster casts and left the dis
play triumphant.
The afternoon Joseph Pulitzer ell
bowed his way through the crowd, set
his glasses upon his nose with 'this
is me" air and carefully inspected the
footprints. In moment he removed
his glasses cast satisfied wink at
Commissioner James A. Yerington
and remarked, Horace Greedy had
foot in that. Warren Dipple is
employed by the Nevada Commits
sioners to answer questions and lie

sciences, and has spent most of the
time since keeping away from the
health bureau located on the grounds.
1t seems that in jam about the
famous painting of "The Angalus,
by Millet the great French painter,
that young lady's arm was SO sew

gallant Dipple waited the bystanders
aside and lifted the limp form from
the floor, rubbing her brow violently, |
meanwhile calling for fresh air. Elk
cited females and inquisitive men
pushed right and left to see the
trouble. Dipple was becoming |

Idaho bent over him and yentured |
