tural building for so meager a display
as is contained therein. Such COM
ments could emanate but from callous
and inexperienced persons who have no
knowledge of the infinite labor that
has been expended in this department
to bring it to the very high state of per-
lection to which it has attained.
To properly provide for such a vast
number and variety of plants as have
been exhibited in the department of
Horticulture it has necessitated the
erection of numerous and extensive
greenhouses. Immediately on the west
OF Horticultural hall stand these build
ings, forming in themselves a minia-
ture city of glass-covered houses. In
these at the present time are to be found
treasured for transportation to fields
afresh countless bulbs and plants
which have served to beautify the won
derful city of white. Here at all times
we may find strolling to and fro arm in
arm and hand in hand couples whose
sentimental air suggests the romantic
story OF loves young dream. Love and
flowers always go together.
There are other pleasant places where
signing SWANS delight to roam with
the dear creatures in whom all their
hopes of future happiness lie. Away
up north among the state buildings are
several green and cozy spots just cal
culated for the sacred avowal-quiet
verandas overlooking green lawns and
retired hooks where busy sightseers
are not likely to intrude. All! many
are the heart stories that have been
murmured soft and low within the
gates of that magic city by the lake,
and many are the fates that have been
sealed beside the still waters of the
llmpid lagoon.
An attractive spot for the searcher
after historic lore is the Washington
house, in the northeast portion of the
state building section. Tucked away
in the funny little rooms are the old
household treasures of the first presi-
dent of this glorious republic-pianos,
paintings and bric-a-brac in the last
stages of decrepitude which in their
day were considered the finest in the
land; chairs, tables, etc, which are
held as too sacred to be handled by
careless hands. The house, the grounds
and all are reproduced as nearly like

the original homestead as human skill
could make them.
Situated on the north lagoon close by
is another historic feature. 1t is the
Walton lodge, a quaint little cottage
erected to commemorate the great
deeds of the immortal Isaak, the patron
saint of fishermen.
Few visitors at the fair in passing
the quaint little cottage seem to recog-
nize the import of its mission or the his
toric interest connected with it's name.
When the members of this Chicago
fishing club determined to have an ex-
hibit which should illustrate and en-
nance the usefulness of their art thew
wisely chose for their building a model
of the fishing cottage which Isaak Wal
ton and his adopted son, Charles Cot
ton, erected on the banks of the River
Dove in 1874, and which, after all this
lapse of time. still stands as an inter
esting reminder of the great apostle of
piscatorial pleasures.
Here within the last few DAYS the
disciples of the great fisherman have
held contests of skill in the art of cast
ing the fly. and beautiful and valuable
prizes have been awarded to the victo-
rious contestants. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful if the father of fishermen ever
beheld in his day such feats of skill
with the rod and line as were performed
on these occasions

Topeka. Kas., March 9-James T.
Legate, who was charged with accepting Il
bride from p w. Kline, manager of the
Kansas City lottery syndicate, in connection
with Attorney General Little and the gov
errors private secretary, wrote Il letter for
publication in which he admitted having re-
ceived $4,000 to be used for legislative pur-
poses. but denied that the governor or any
one connected with his administration knew
anything about it. In the letter he
said:
Il received draft from T. W. Kline for
$1,000 before the legislature met and L
received 81, 800 from him since, and if any
men on earth knew of it they were good
mindrcaders. The money was spent just
as designed, and accomplished its mission,
but that any other person, high or low;
whether he be state official or lawyer, had
any part in that transaction is an absolute

concerned, | have only to say that the
