1T is now acknowledged that when
the great show at Chicago is fully COM
pleted it will be the most complete and
stupendous exhibition in the worlds
history. But you can't see it in a day
or week. A complete tour of the halls
inside of the buildings involves walk
of $50 miles, and even a cursory glance
at everything will take months time.
The man who wants to say truly that he
has seen everything worth seeing at the
Worlds fair must commence at once
and continue his perambulations in a
leisurely way and continue until the
fair closes next November.

THE company formed in Paris by the
Duke Of Veragua for the purpose of &C
climatizing bull fights on the banks of
the Seine has recently come to grief and
a week or two ago the entire belongings
and impediments of the concern were
sold by public auction for the benefit of
the creditors. The dukes main purpose
was to find a new market for his IA
nous bulls. Perhaps he will now try
Chicago. The famous stockyards in
that city could probably dispose Of all
the animals he can raise without much
difficulty.

THIS Is the season-bhe month of May
when the country puts on its most
attractive appearanoe-the grass and
grain fields are Of the brightest green,
the cherry, peach and apple blossoms,
the lilacs and other spring flowers are
all in bloom, the birds are mating, and
the temperature, as a general thing, is
so genial, than anything more delight
full than ride on the railway, a drive
or pedestrian tour in any direction
through the rural suburbs can hardly
be conceived of. With so much to de-
light the eye and invigorate the body,
within easy and inexpensive reach,
those who will not be able to visit the
Columbian exposition have at least
some compensation.

She was a western woman and had

She had just finished one particularly
wild and woody border romance, when
a young southerner present drawled:

Married After Many Years.

James H. Dick, who mysteriously
disappeared from Gallatin, Tenn,
when young man fifteen years ago,
has returned TO claim his share of his
fathers estate and the hand of the
girl he had deserted and who had
never heard from him all this time and
had supposed him to be dead. Dick
says his father bitterly opposed the
proposed marriage and he swore he
would never look in the old mans face
again and so deserted everybody. He
went northwest, became a prosperous
business man, and has returned be-
cause his father recently died. He has
remained unmarried and finding the
girl was still a maiden he persuaded
her to forgive his desertion and marry
him The wedding will soon take
place.
