there was a small pyramid of gifts at

with garlands of Christmas green.
The services were very interesting,
especially a solo by tiny little girl.
She was very brave to sing before so
crowded house. The minister spoke
very earnestly on the right way to
keep Christmas. We congratulate
the Lutheran people on having so

little people were made happy with
monstrous bags, containing candy,
popcorn and an orange. Truly this

A well-known American artist was last
summer sketching in the galleries Of
the Louvre in Paris. Being at work
he had, of course, something the ap-
pearance of being a habitue of the
place, and as such he was several times
addressed by the visitors
On one occasion he was approached
by couple of ladies, one of whom
asked:
"Can you tell us where to find the
statue of Cupid and"
She paused, in the evident hope that
he would help her out, but he had heard
the name Psyche pronounced in SO many
ways that he was curious to see what
would be made out of it now. The Wis
itor, finding that he would not pro-
nounce the name, turned appealingly
to her companion, and the other lady
said with much briskness:
"Why, of course you know; the ia
nous statue of Cupid-and the person
who is with him."
There was very different air about
he lady who one day haughily said to
the artist
"Will you be so kind as to direct me
to the statue of Catherine de Medici?"
"The statue of Catherine de Medici?"
he repeated in some perplexity. Il
don't remember such statue"
The smile Of the visitor was more su-
perior than ever as she replied:
''Oh, it is one of the best-known stat
ues here. / supposed that any artist
would know where it is to be found"
There was so much scorn in her ac.
cents as she pronounced the word
'artist" that the gentleman was at once
amused and annoyed.

The mining interests are also largely
represented, there being in great pro-
fusion rich specimens of gold-bearing
rock and quartz and mineral ores in
great variety.
In the Washington building, which in
itself is a great curiosity, the founda-
tion consisting of some of the largest
timbers ever seen in this part of the
world, are to be seen great many of
the new states choicest products.
In the mining department is the largest
lump of coal that was ever mined 1t is
five feet thick, twenty-six feet long and
weighs over twenty-five tons. At the
entrance of this building stands flag
staff the like of which does not exist in
this country. 1t is single tree, spliced
once in the middle, and is nearly three
hundred feet high and as straight as an
arrow.
These are but few of the many
wonders of the great fair belonging to
the state exhibits, each building pos
sessing many rare relics and curios of
its own state, and after viewing the
wonders of the greater buildings one
may find many surprises awaiting him
here.
An institution of the fair that is crea-
tive of some trouble and much amuse-
ment to the visitors is the folding chair
which has recently been introduced. IL
is diminutive affair of very frail con-
struction and about as conducive to
bodily comfort as would be an up
turned strawberry box. To witness a
two-hundred pound man trying to
perch his bulging anatomy on one of
these inauisitorial contrivances is equal
to seeing slack-wire performance by
a novice in the business. Such sight
was witnessed the other day near the
Administration building where crowd
had gathered to listen to the music of
the band. A big man had one of the
little chairs and tried TO sit on it, but
the little chair was not equal to the
task and collapsed. The chairs are let
for ten cents and are to be returned by
the user, but that little chair was not
returned. 1t got kick that reduced it
to toothpicks and scattered it over half
an acre of territory.

Other state buildings which contain
objects of rare interest are those of Cal

are exhibits of bottled fruits that are
luscious enough in appearance to keep
ones teeth in constant state of mum
dation. On every hand are pyramids of
golden globes of fruit, pagodas con-

kinds, and high up in the central por-
