Two pairs of eyes are better than one
pair, but one can see more alone. If he
has some one with him, unless the two
are tied together, they will waste time in
keeping track of each other Your COM
panion will want to look particularly at
one thing, you at another. You will be
obliged from courtesy to assent to his
idiotic assertions that things are fine,
grand, nice or beautiful as the case may
be, and you will of course in turn demand
his assent to innumerable similar bril-
liant and original observations on your
part. You will both get out of temper,
out of sympathy with each other, will
quarrel about routes and locations. and
see much less and that less much more
poorly than if you had gone by yourself,
studied what interested you, and kept
your commonplace and inadequate ad-
jectives down in your soul.

fire works shall be exploded on the

from floats out about thousand feet in

A raging, consuming and eternal thirst
torments every visitor, and it is well that
he know where to drink most cheaply.
The Wellington lunch counters sell beer,
bnt it is presumed that no CHRONICLE
reader drinks beer. The spring water at
a-cent-in-th the-slot glass, is said to be
wholesome, but it is not cold, and does
not satisfy. Soda water is ten cents a
glass and is therefore too expensive, be-
sides being sloppy. In the horticultural
building is cider mill where sweet cider
is made and sold at ten cents small
glass. In the agricultural building is a
similar arrangement, and the cider is
five cents a glass. But in the Florida
building is drink that goes into the deep
dry places about ones soul 1t is called
orange cider, but it is nectar fit for the
gods. Save your nickels, and buy this
cider. One other place there is where
thirst may be ideally quenched. Just be-
low the Ferris wheel, on the Midway, is
a French cider mill and booth. Large
glasses of sweet, fresh, apple cider are
served by trim mattresses dressed in the
picturesque costume of the French peas

turbans, and wooden shoes that ella, K

SOME POINTS
Which May Be of Interest to Our
Readers Who Contemplate Visit
ing the Great Fair.

A trip on the Intramural railroad af-
fords an excellent opportunity for the
visitor to get general view of the build
ings and grounds. The road is 81 miles
long, and extends from the North Inlet
around to point near the Convent Ia
Ribida The road is constructed on
piles 20 feet high, after the manner of
the New York elevated roads. Each
train consists of four cars, and speed of
30 miles an hour can be attained. The
motive power is electricity. Starting at
the north end the passenger will observe
many of the State buildings and build
ings of foreign nations, as the train
moves around the north end of the
grounds. He will catch glimpse of the
Art Gallery, and Eskimo Village, and
the Midway, as he passes along. Next,
to his left he will pass the Woman's
Building, Children's Building, Horticul
tural Hall. and Transportation Building,
passing over the roof of the annex of the
latter, while farther away to his left are
the Mines and Electricity Buildings
The road then winds around among
the windmills, sawmills, past the Cliff
dwellings and many other places of in
terest, until it finally hauls up near the
Agricultural Building, having well nigh
made the circuit of the grounds. Passen-
gers may embark at any station, and
leave at any station. The fare either
way is 10 cents. The ride is delightful,
the cars being open, and the speed aug
menting any breeze that may be blowing.

The Forestry Building is like King
SOlomon's Temple in one respect-in that
not nail or other piece of metal was
used in its construction. 1t is very differ
ent, however, in that it is constructed
entirely of wood. Every State in the
Union contributes some tree to the walls
of the structure, while inside, divided so
that they are easily found, nearly every
part of the civilized and uncivilized
world has display of its woods. All
the familiar kinds are shown, Ohio hav-
ing eighty varieties. All are polished to
a wonderful smoothness and brightness.
Africa and India and Japan and South
America show remarkable and unfamiliar
specimens, while the inevitable 'big tree"
of California and Oregon is OmnipreSent.
The building is of convenient size, is
cool, and can be satisfactorily "dOne."

All Solid.

While in many sections of the country
banks are closing their doors, it is cause
for congraulation that the banks in this
section are all right, and no one feels a
fear as to their safety. Most of the
banks that have failed are those that in
dulged more or less in speculation. The
banks of this county are all managed by
men in whom the people have the utmost
confidence, and the banks move right
along in their usual channers irrespective
of the panic that is striking in other
places. Neither have there been any
private failures in this section of any i'm
pOrtance, a fact that speaks eloquently
for the solid financial standing of our
people.

NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

Travelled men often assure us that
never in their wanderings over the earth
have they beheld the face of nature fair
er than it is spread before one as he
drives along the road from say a mile
and a half east of town to the top of the
Big Hill" A majestic and glorious
landscape set just now in colors that
seem to charm every sense-not gaudy
but comforting to the eye-all the COM
binations of green and brown and golden
yellows fading away into mysterious pur-
pies and fathomless blues-and over it
hung a sky serene and steely blue-a
scene to drive from ones brain the per
plexities of work -a-day life, and give
him a breath of air from the spiritual
hilltop.
Even the Roman Catholic Church,
which is supposed to be less liberal in its
views than other denominations, and to
exact more rigid compliance with the
written gospel, seems to be feeling the
throes of modernity, and to be trimming
its sails to meet the breezes of present
day science and scholarship. 1t has long
been held that the Deluge covered
the entire earth, but science has of late
years declared that the flood was only
local. A high Catholic professor last
week declared his belief in the latter
view, stating that in his opinion the writ
ers of the deluge narrative meant that
the waters covered the whole earth
known to them. This takes issue with
long line of Biblical commentators, but
is directly in line with the science of to-
day. and is another indication that the
conditions of religious dogma are varying,
although the foundations of religious
faith remain the same, and cannot but re-
main the same. But they must be strip
ped of all needless surplusage.

Mrs. 0rpah Amos died at eleven O'Clock
Tuesday night. She had been sick with
bowel trouble for several weeks, but
within two hours of her death, was not
thought to be in immediate danger. She
was born in Hartford county, Md. in
1916, coming to this neighborhood when
shs was about twelve years old. At the
age of sixteen she was married to Joshua
Amos, and they settled at what is now
Ozark, Monroe county. In 1868 they
moved to Colerain township, this county,
and here Mr.. Amos died twenty seven
years ago. Mrs. Amos came to this place
in 1872, and has since lived here. Out of
a family of eight children, all are living
but one, who died thirty four years ago.
Mrs. Amos has been for over half a
century faithful member of the Pres
byterian church, and her death closes a
long and energetic life filed with useful
ness to her family and friends.
The funeral will be held at two o'clock
Thursday from Mrs. Amos late residence,
interment being at the Union Cemetery.
