Only those ware enabled to earn 1t
Born long after he came to our clifAe,--
Born to hear that provincials, mistreated.
Overthrow Great Britain's oppression;
Born to hear that brave patriots defeated
An ignoble attempt at secession.
Little he thought of the honorable boast
His achievements were destined to give:
A place in the grand. illustrious host
OF those who die and yet ever live.
II view to his gaze had been granted
or the present imposing New World
OF the spread of the faith which he planted
When his few ragged sails had been furled.
Had he known he would gain reputation,
Immortal. sublime, universal
Be extolled with superb demonstration
The theme of unceasing rehearsal
Fen thus he had not higher motives obeye
Than are those which now honor his name;
Nor labors the more untiring displayed
Than are those which embellish his fame.
Wanting means, although not resolution,
He applied to rich monarchs for aid;
Sore distressed by extreme destitution.
And respectful attention unpaid
Opposed by all mon who learning professed
Accounted the slave of illusion
Now hope and now fear possessing his breast.
While waiting q royal conclusion.
1t was thus long years were anxio usly passed,
Till his object at last he secured;
Could aught have called forth exertions 20
vast?
Or events more adverse been endrred2
He came not for honor, wealth or applause
To many how great inspiration
But confding in true terrestrial laws,
Sought route for remote navigation.
He knew here were souls who never had
learned
The religion of peace and good will;
Within those dark hearts he ardently yearnet
The mild Gospel of Christ to instil.
He was worthy TO fill his vocation,
To come first TO our dear native shore
To discover the home of that nation
Which shall live and grow great evermore.

preparations have been made by legislative ac-
ton,and In others counties have set apart funds
for exhibits. Colorado in 1891 appropriated

by the Legislature only S3,, 900 Of this proved To
be available. Since that appropriations have

The Inception Of the Fair.

The Worlds Columbian Exposition
marks new era In the progress Of civiliza-
tion and commentaries the Columbian
discovery of America 400 years ago.
The honor of having first suggested the
idea of holding Worlds fair TO celebrate
the 400th anniversary of the discovery of
the New World by Columbus is claimed
by many, and it is not easy TO positively
assign the honor to any one. However,
about six years ago. F.. George Mason OF
Chicago sent communication to the an
nual meeting of the directors of the Chi
cago Exposition company, suggesting the
advisability cf celebrating in some proper
way the 40Oth anniversary Of the discovery
of America. After some discussion, the
matter was allowed to drop.
Subsequently, in various newspapers
Throughout the country, the question of
such a celebration was occasionally men,
toned and discussed. In 1889 the discus
sion became general. and Joseph Medill of
Chicago very
Actively Fostered the Idea.
It was Immediately taken up by the whole
country, and shortly thereafter hot
rivalry sprang up among various cities for
the honor of providing a site for a great
Worlds fair to be held in ls92-9S.

I saw such dear gown Of black
dotted white net. The skirt was full
and short; just to show the pretty
shoes. Under the net was a soft, old
fashioned sort OF silk. The sleeves were
pulled very big, and finished of with
band Of black feather trimming. Two
rows OF this marabout outlined the
round cut neck. A pert little plume
stood up on each shoulder. The rufie
az the foot Of the skirt was headed by
marabout, with a plume every now and

round waist was made by a bodice
belt OF narrow black velvet passed
three times about the figure the
top band being as high on one side as
under the arm. On the other side all
three bands were brought together by

was a brunette. aud little black perky

add that the spots Of black 10 the net
were velvet, so the crispneSs Of the

Now that purple is adopted we are
beeomidg aware OF different tones in
the color The purple in which the
blue dominates is apt to be hard and
trying. The color resulting from an
even blending of the red and blue is,
indeed. royal purple, and that where
the red dominates is warm and beauti-
full, and il blends with many colors
well and suits many compilations. This
tone Of purple is destined to be the
most liked shade OF the already popular
color. It's distinctive name is ''Dahlia."

Now, when man has catarrh he wants TO be
cured. He doesn't wont to be treated BY boys
or students, or made to sit in chair with his
teeth clinched while his nose Is burned out or
his throat cauierized. He wants a physician
of skill and experience. who knows just what Is
the matter with him. how to treat him and who
will not subject him 10 moments suffering.
1t is because Drs. Copeland, Bell and Davis

them as humane, skilled snd gentlemanly ply

among the prominent shares showing net

by an absence Of the late heavy pressure

that the Gssrs have covered their shorts
