A "Fair" COMPANION

Takes the visitor in hand at the
gate of the Worlds Fair and leads
him along from one object of interest
to another, calling particular atten-
ton to those of most prominence,
making every step one Of pleasure
and progress, steadily forward, never
wasting a moment in fruitless search
for some exhibits mile or more away,
but always arriving at lunch stand
or some novel display at the right
time.
1t gives plans of routes for each
day of the visitors stay (from one day
to week., and he can select those
which please his fancy, whether he is
an agriculturist, mechanic or student;
and when he reaches the gate on his
way homeward, he can look back and
say: "There may be some things l
have not seen, but l am fnlIy satisfied
in the time I have devoted to this
parpose, that l have seen forty times
as much as I would had I not had A
Fair Companion as my guide. "
This book has sixty four pages, il
lustrated with fine half-ton engrav
ings of the different buildings and
is written in a most interesting and
delightful style. AS one of our
friends has said, 1T pjctares the
whole Fair for the reader.

of our fellows. 4 man bears his
troubles quietly if he thinks Provi-
dence has ordained it, but he would
be savagely embittered if told that he
is oppressed by cruel fate. A man
works against ODDS with the hope of
winning if be has future but if he
has none he fights against the odds
with destructive desperation, his only
object being to get at the front and
stay they.
Immortality, thefore, is necessary
to orderly society and to the educa
cation of the race The highest man
hood and womanhood are impossible
unless character is built on that cor
ner stone, and he who would blow
that stone from its place whuld bring
the whole structure in ruins about
our ears.

Jeems Was Let Go.

A simple argument, stated in SIM
pie language, with sincere feeling
behind it, is often more effective than
anything orators practice under the
name of eloquence. A good example
is furnished in the memoirs of Jeffer-
son Davis. A young woman wrote
to him: Dear Mr.. President want
you to let Jeems c., of company
oneth, fifth South Carolina regiment,
come home and get married. Jeems
is willin', I is willin, his nanny says
she is willin', but Jeems' captain he
amt willin'. Now when we are all
willin 'ceptin' Jeems' captain, l think
you might let up and let tJeems come.
I'll make him go straight back when
he's got married and fight just as
hard as ever" Mr.. Davis wrote on
the letter, LET Jeems 60" Jeem:
went home, married the affectionatt
correspondent of Mr.. Davis, returned
to his regiment, and did fight as hare
as ever.

of mankind doesn't know anything
about theology except in a rudimen-

is in the accomplishment or the most
