the world contains. 1t has cooked
enough to feed 100000 persons at an
hours notice, and plates and dishes are
spread for the multitude which. alas,
will never materialiZe to partake OF III
all. From thorough canvass OF the
larger cities of the state the GLOBE has
learned that the month of June has
been set as the time when Minnesota
will pour itself into the Windy City and
into the greatest exposition of all time.
That our departing hosts may have the
benefit of a closely accounted expert
ence of GLOBE correspondent, whose
pedal-speed has become somewhat nota-
BILE, the following letter is extended to
Minnesotans generally:
The editorial assignment to the
worlds fair has been accomplished
within the five days to which it was
limited. Let no one worry about stand
ing room in Chicago. Chicago is bigger
today than ever she was. She has more
pockets to hide you in than coal mine.
There seems to be one great purpose
moving Chicago these days, and that is
to feed ZEN and skin 'em, and that for
revenue only. Outside of the homes OF
the four hundred, nearly every house is
a quasi hotel, and the obliging host and
hostess is advertising i'll every. original
way to attract patronage.
The Mushroom Hotels
are innumerable and-empty! l amsin-
cere in the belief that if million per
sons suddenly came upon Chicago, they
could be comfortably housed and fed
but not washed. School houses, arm
cries, livery stables, stores, ware
houses and all sorts of structures are
pemodeled, reftted and furnished for
the incoming crowds, which, by the
way, aren't incoming at all. In these
new hostelries. built of wind, hope,
courage and a huge smokestack, one
can get room for 81 day. Board on
the European plan-a plan being
tlal hotels on Michigan avenue-can be
had at rate no greater than the cost
in ST. Paul. An exception to this es-
innate, however, must be made
in the case of the Michigan ave-
nue. hotels which have adopted the
a la carte plan. In these hotels there is
plenty of room as yet, and the rates for
single rooms are 81 and 50 per day, But
just wait until you are hungry-an Or
binary dinner for a healthy st. Paul
man with spring appetite costs all the
way from 81 to $40, all depending upon
Just how unconscious you become be-
fore the repast is over. Ordinarily,
though. in these hotels three meals will
cost SIS. The way to serve them, though,
is tor two guests to dine off one portion,
which is quite sufficient for anybody
above cannibal or all Italian music
teacher.
No, there are acres upon acres OF I'M
carpeted hotel floors just creaking to be
stepped on. Put on

Just. not what they would exact. Brush
your own clothes and steer far away

bill and put it under tumbler when
you dine so that the waiter can see it.
The effect is electric. When you have
finished put the dollar into your pocket
