ing a resolution of thanks - General Horace

Education and the Fair.

Speaking of one feature of the Column
bian exhibition, Boston paper says that
there are no institutions in which patri-
otto Americans take keener pride than
the schools, academies and colleges. The
great common school spstem is our coun-
try's unique glory. To make q display
of American products and progress
which ignored the schools would ba
.shortsighted and absurd. AT the ex-
press and repeated invitation of the di-
reetors of the Worlds fair the educa-
tional authorities In the several states,
aided by appropriations, set to work to
prepare suitable exhibits of the work OF
the schools and colleges. Large sums OF
money have already been expended, with
q pronise of the most satisfactory re-
suits. and the exhibition space asked for
is likely to be too small rather than too
large.

Little Johnny.was an outspoken youth,
and when a thing didn't suit him he wasn't
afraid to say so. He was spending the day
with his aunt and it happened that the
only butter she had in the house was some
what ancient.
At dinner little Johnny took one taste OF
the butter on hot biscuit, and then with
snort and sputter he promptly emptied
his mouth.
"What is the matter, Johnny?" asked hi
aunt mildly.
'sMatterl That butter amt fit for hog
to eat!' blurted out Johnny
Johnny's aunt looked at him in reprov
ing astonishment, and Johnny ate the rest
of his dinner without further remark or
butter.
In the afternoon one OF the neighbors'
boys came in to play with Johnny, and
when teatime came he was invited to stay
and keep him company at the table. Lit
tie Johnny anxiously watched the prepare
tions for supper, and when he saw that
same plate of butter brought out his coun-
tenance lighted up with joyous smile Of
anticipation, and siding up to his aunt he
whispered gleefully:

boy about the butter. Let him get fooled

is therefore but natural that this product

form an important feature of the Iowa
exhibit, although a great deal of space
will be given up to agriculture, for it is
a fact that Iowa contains less waste land
than any state in the Union. All the

exhibit and many interesting relics of

Its dimensions are 100 by 450 feet, and
it's floor area 3.2 acres. The summit of

above dome which itself reaches height
of 236 feet inches. The building has cost
about $500, 900, and its design is French
adaptation of the italian renaissance.
The southern arm extends rs feet be-
yond the walls of the main building, is
three stories high, and will be used by
the board of commissioners and governor
of the state as council and reception
rooms. All the artistic work of the re-
ception rooms and library has been done
by ladies, Miss Ida Burgess painting the
frieze which is attracting SO much atten-

taken as her model an ideal summer

phrases; the cut tells it all. The build
ing will be a news exchange and home

exhibiting products.
South Dakota was fortunate in secur-
ing one of the best and most prominent
sites on the fair grounds, her state build
ing being the first to attract attention on
the south side of the Fifty seventh street
entrance. The building Is 70 by 13O feet,

tropics
On ship just as warm as toast?
With the moderate nights full OF freside de-
lights
And the sun all day long on the roast?
Aye! what would you think of trip to the
hottest
Country e'er dreamed of-some brimstony
land
Where man feels the fire that makes him per-
spire,
And leave him-a grease spot, outlined In the
sand?
It surely were pleasant to pass from these frigid
And cold haunted nights to the Warmest Of
climes,
But, alas! we must shiver and pile on the kiver
And keep up the fire with dollars and dimes.
