a One Walter Thomas Mills. n yearago, OF
more, got up II scheme to swindlc men,
bers of the W. G.. L. L. and others who
would buy stock in "A hotel foi the accom-
mediation of visitors to the Worlds Fair.
The shares of the stock were placed at
SO and this entitled the holders to "A ten
days lodging at this proposed magnili-
cent hotel. Subscriptions reached about
Sl50,0n0, coming from all parts of the
country. including Maine Now that the
subscribers want the value of theil
money according to the contract they
find the establishment an hour and II
half ride from the grounds and the ac-
commodation miserable when they get
there so they stay but one night in any
event. This is fair sample of the
thousand and one schemes to entrap
visitors to the great exposition, and peo-
pie will find the better way to make
their arrangements after they arrive
there. There is no apparent limit to

oxalis genus of grasses. While St. Pat
rick was preaching to the pagans of the
Emerald Isle in the year 433 he attempt
ed to explain the trinity in unity but
his hearers could not understand it. At
last he plucked a trefoil (shamrock) and
said, as it not as possible for the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost to be one as it is for
those three leaves to grow upon a single
stalk The pagan Irish were convinced
and soon afterwarl adopted the sham

have to thank President Cleveland and
