reverting to his original methods. In re
ply the man ordered a girl to bring him a
sample saucerful. The girl put in some
powdered sugar and then poured the milk
over. Having concluded the test the
young man moved upon the adjoining
booth. A boy in buttons ushered him into
a little compartment and he sat on red
plush sofa.
'Wiu yon try some of the prepared

"Oh-h-h, / don't know Well you

the boy did, handing him also a leafet.
AT the end of the same aisle he had To-
Gated nest Of free places. Arriving at
the first he was given a cup of breakfast
cocoa. At the second hel carelessly ac-
cepted an invitation to a small chocolate.
This second booth had been guarded at
each corner by a ifesize statue of a god

chocolate. One of the statues had col
lapsed and lay in large fragments, the
head broken off and the lower limbs rest
ing awkwardly across the chest Some
vandal had eaten the thumb and foretin-

being stated. He walked more leisurely,

play. The attendant was a man with a
loud voice who was telling of the won
derful mills in Minneapolis how the
wheat from $500 acres of ground was
made into -four every day and the -four
was then shipped to all known countries
between the north pole and the south
pole. This man was giving away toy bar
rels, each about the size of pint cup.
The hardened free-luncher accepted one
and said, "thank you" He also stopped
and took free pony Of root beer.
While on his way out of the building he
visited the milk section over at the north
of the gallery. An exhibitor urged him
to try class of the eVapOrated cream

refused nothing until he came to the
booth where they gave away fermented
milk food, where he made the mistake of
supposing that the preparation was in

There's a vegetarian meal for your
life, - said he. It'd be better if man
could get things in some kind of order,
say the soups first and the hot drinks to-
ward the end, but the trouble is he'd have
to walk about five miles back and forth
