A VACATION.
Most agile he, of men is,
He will play for hours at tennis,
Then he'll walk for miles to where they say the
''speckled beauties" Turk;
Goes in swimming, then a-rowing,
Comes home putting hard and blowing.
And declares he sympathizes with man who
has 70 work.

As the President Pressed the Button

made stirring speech, the President
began his oration, which will 60 down in

AS the President was concluding the
final sentence his eyes wandered to the
table that was close at his left hand
Upon this was the button, the pressure
upon which was to start the machinery
and make the opening of the exposition
an accomplished fact.
As the last words fell from the Presi-
dents lips he pressed his finger upon the
button This was the signal for a demon
stration, in fact. difficult of imagination,
and infinitely more so of description.
At one and the same instant the
audience burst into a laundering shout,
the orchestra pealed forth the strains OF
the nalleluiah chorus, the wheels of
the great Ellis engine in machinery hall,
commenced to revolve. the electric
fountains in the lagoon threw their
torrents toward the sky, food of water
