THE COLUMBIAN ExPosIrIoN-
WHAT 1T TEACHES.

Imagination becomes stupid when It at
tempts to grasp the dazzling splendors Of
the Columbian Exposition. Contemplat-
ing it, one sees the genius OF civilization In
all nations; nature and art in their highest
and most perfect development; everything
to fascinate the eye and lend inspiration.
1t can be said, indeed, that the one oppor-
tunity of a life is given to see the great
gathered together in any age of the past-
visit to 1t means broader enligb.en-
ment and . knowledge of all the people Of
the earth No person, therefore, can afford
to let the opportunity pass without max
ing an honest effort to see it. Despite the
fact that extortion is practiced In some Of
the walks of Chicago the Fair can be seen
for nominal sum of money. Railroad
rates will be reduced nearly one-half sooner
or later, and 1t is possible for every person
benefits and profit by the unpar alleled ad-
vnntages for enlightenment. Higher civil
ization commands every person to make
sacrifices for the great Exposition.
Those intending to visit the Fair should
secure what is known as the Economic
Guide to the Worlds Fair" published by
Farnsworth, Cowinz & Co, 3o7 Masonic
Temple, Chicago, Ill. The price Is &l.OO.
II will save strangers much time and money
in locating and securing rooms where
prices are surprisingly low. 1t can be
said, indeed. that one can live almost as
chenply as though he were under his own
vine and fg tree. Very many citizens of
the Windy City, believe that there will bo
something to live for after the Exposition
and are acting accordingly. This class
are throwing open their doors to the per-
son of moderate means, and their hearth
stones and hospitality can be enjoyed.
Every person can save from $40 tn $40, ar
cordlng 10 the lsngtn OF tn-ir stay IN Ont
cngo. by knowing wnat TO do when reach
ing Chicago, and those who contemplate
visiting the Fair can see the wisdom or i'm
media ely sending for one of these Eco
uomic GUIDE, which is all the name i'm
plies The great Fair can be seen in all its
glory by rich and poor alike. Sons and
daughters of the farm can see the richness
OF the tropics, nature in its grandest
beauty; the world OF arts, the products OF
the easel and the shops, and with them
almost everything that has ever been con
eeived by the mind of man, and, aside from
travelling expenses, at but little more than
living cost
The Columbian Exposition is teaching
the greatest lesson OF life. For this end
nations intermingle and place their handi-
work side by side. The products of the
European farm and garden invite inspec-
ton on the same plane with the products
of the American farm and garden. So In
very other department OF the worlds
busy life The quaint dress of the Turk
can be compared with that Of those in
higher civilization, and so can the dress Of
the people of every lard and cline, with
their customs, habits, and modes OF lie
And withal. the "Old Liberty Bell hangs
within the Pennsylvania State Building,
Ginning the sweet words freedom for all.
Yet great guns and munitions of war stand
without attesting the colossal power OF the
nations, and the sad havoc that could be
wrought II they should engage in a
frn.ricidaI strife. Still, the products OF
the land and II 9 sea invite the admiration
and astorishmsnto all.
