the first sent out by the American
Guernsey Cattle club, with headquar-
tiers at Pennington, Conn. Other ship
ments are expected in few days.
Although real exhibits are still scarce
in the Agricultural building their COM
ing is foreshadowed in the rapid con-
struction of booths The settings for
the exhibits of Illinois, New York,
Wisconsin and Iowa are taking shape
already. The contribution of New
South Wales and some products from
Lincoln. Neb., are about all the ex-
hibits actually here, but adviees from
exhibitors generally indicate that ship
ments will begin shortly. Plans for
booths are sent TO Chief Buchanan for
approval daily and speedy action is
taken on them. Most exhibitors COM
mence work on the structures imme-
diately after they have passed through
the fire of criticism in the office of the
director of works. In consequence it
is believed that the work of preparae
ton is remarkably well advanced,
even if the Agricultural building is
nearly bare. 1t will be short work
when the time comes to erect the cases,
stands and booths and to fill them with
exhibits.

by the Bertillon measurement system

operation of the city and exposition

An interesting feature of the exposi-
ton is the dairy department Out in
the southeast corner OF the grounds are
the stables which already contain some

The plan upon which this branch of
the worlds fair service is operated is
very simple, yet very complete and sat
| factory. The hotel and rooming de-
-partment has registered landlords and
owners who have houses and rooms to
rent in all parts of the city. These are
listed under contract with the bureau
with full description and prices there
of, the rooms being always first sub.
;ected to inspection. In this list may
be found accommodations suited to the
purse of the person of modest means or
the more ample capital of the wealthy.
A neat and respectable room for mar
ried couple may be had for from one
to five dollars a day, or suite
of more pretentisus apartments can be
secured, and at as reasonable rates
and with far less trouble than would
be experienced were the parties to
wait until their arrival to engage
them.
This department has issued printed
circular. which may be had upon ap-
plication, giving full particulars and
containing blank form of application
for accommodations. 1t is announced
in this circular that provision will be
made within the fair grounds for sew
eral large and handsome buildings
wherein will be waiting rooms and
par]ors for the use of ladies and chill
dren, all comfortably furnished and
rooms, etc, and all in the charge of
polite and intelligent attendants.
These buildings will furnish desirable
resorts and resting places for the peo-
pie and will be free of charge TO Wis
itors.
There will also be maintained in
connection with these rooms, for the
charges, parcel rooms for the check
ing of wraps, parcels, etc, barber
shops, lunch counters, newspaper
stands, stationery, toilet articles and
other items of common everyday
need. All this and much more will be
provided by the bureau of public COM
fort and will come under the official
supervision of the board of directors
of the Worlds Columbia exposition.
The public is cautioned to beware of
fraudulent concerns which are spring
ing up to fleece the unwary stranger
from afar. A number of fake" enter
prises have already been unearthed by
the sleuths of the Chicago press, and
every effort will be made by press, po-
lice and worlds fair officials to prevent
imposition upon the people.
Complaints are becoming plentiful of
alleged fraudulent hotel schemes in
connection with the worlds fair. In
many cases money for rooms is collect
ed in advance, and persons who have
paid it are beginning to suspect there

Aresident of Chicago says that while
In Philadelphia last November he was
shown the picture and prospectus Of

an enormous hotel to be erected within
six blocks of the exposition. All rail-
way lines to the fair were to pass the
door and other advantages were
claimed. At the solicitation of the
agent the Chicago man bought two
tickets for one dollar and seventy-6ve
cents each, securing the option on two
rooms, the understanding being that
he would have to pay like amount on
registering and one dollar day for
furnished rooms thereafter.
A few days ago the Chicago man Wis
tied the local office of the hotel in one
of the skyscrapers TO inquire how the
big enterprise was progressing. He
was told that nothing had yet been
done toward erecting the building.
There was too much water on the pro-
posed site. but the projectors said they
were going to have some lumber
hauled down there soon and build some
kind of a hotel. They could not, they
said. carry out their original plans,
but they would fill their contracts.
Money advanced for tickets would not
be refunded The Chicago man left
the Office impressed with an abiding
faith in the statement of a bona fide
hotel man who told him the whole
scheme was one of the biggest fakes
that had yet been sprung on the public.
These swindling schemes, of course,
assume to be official worlds fair
branches and the most seductive in
ducements are held out to trap
the unsuspccting farming people.

however, than some of the announce

time. '.Does each of the girls bring
some?" she asked, at length, after
some moments of deep thought.
''Of course!' answered the girl, in
cool surprise. ut is the Easter gift.
Every scholar brings something"
At this moment Miss Eaton took her
place, and was instantly besieged by a
torrent of questions. Zone at a time,

stored.
Yes" she said at length, when the
girls had explained their plan. ut is a
good idea. | think there will be no
trouble in gaining permission for you
to decorate the font. But, girls. in Civ
ing these Easter flowers, 1 hope you
will remember that they are not to be
bought with money begged OF your par
ents, but are to represent some little
personal sacrifice-such, for instance,
as bon-bons, theater tickets or gloves"
as, in glancing around the circle of
eager faces. her eyes fell upon Janie's
neighbor, still absorbed in her glove
buttons. 80 shall your Easter flow
ers be true gifts upon Gods altar"
In her desir re to impress the thought
of sacrifice upon these careless girls,
whose every wish was gratified, she
forgot the single exception-poor jamie,
sitting quietly in her corner, wonder
ing if she alone in ell this great Sun
day school must fail to make gift to
her risen Lord.
Miss Eaton found her strangely mat
tentive, giving stammering, blunder-
ing answers to all questions. Perceiv-
ing that something was amiss, she
gradually devoted herself to the rest OF
the class. and succeeded in distracting
their curious scrutiny from jamie.
There is nothing l can give-noth-
ing" thought the poor little maid,
hopelessly reviewing her scanty posses
sions. At all times money was scarce
in the shabby home, and the pennies
that had fallen to Janie's lot were pitt
fully few. In little paste board box
in the bureau drawer at home lay a
thin three-cent piece, copper Cana
dian coin, and two shining yellow
cents. As regarded this small hoard, a
Bermuda lily was about as unattain-
able as the crown jewels of England.
An exceeding bitter sigh welled up
from the child's heart. and she twisted
uneasily in her chair.
The slight change in her position
brought her into a shaft of ruby light,
which fell from the stained-glass win
dow upon her slender ungloved hands.
At sight of the rudy glow she started,
and an expression Of pain fitted across
her face, 1t reminded her of the scar

ments made and scattered broadcast
throughout the country. The certifi-
Gates issued by these concerns bear
upon their face the evidence of fraud,
and it is to be wondered at that they
have succeeded in winning the conf
dence of even the most unsophisticated.
The only genuine and reliable bureau
of this kind is that issuing printed
matter bearing the name of II. n.
Higinbotham, president of the worlds
fair.
Among other provisions for the en-
tertainment Of guests, the exposition
has arranged special bureau for the
reception of visitors who make their
living by stealing and picking pockets.
The bureau IS in charge of a competent
officer, who has Z wide acquaintance
among the men he is to receive and
who knows how to make their presence
as innocuous as possible. Tbs officer
has laid his plan before the council of
administration, where it is now being
considered. In outline the plan pro-
vides for a detective force of from
three hundred to five hundred men,
taken from the police force of all cities
in the United States having more than
twenty-five thousand population. In
addition to these there will be officers
from London, Berlin, Paris and other
capitals, detailed for the service by
their governments.
To secure the advantages offered by
men from vario3s parts of the country
it is proposed to furnish them trans
portation to and from Chicago and al
low them a reasonable sum for living
expenses while here. In large num-
Der of inquiries by letter it is found
that nearly all the cities are willing to
furnish two or more men and continue
their salaries for the experience it will
give them and for the protection it will
afford visitors. The men will report
in Chicago about April for organize
ton. They will work in pairs, no two
of them from the same locality, so as
to expand their usefulness. When a
criminal is discovered in the
grounds he will be turned over to the

board and lodgings" Those who
have friends and relatives here will be
well provided for in this respect, but
the countless thousands who are en-
tire strangers without any means OF
obtaining information on this impor-
tant subject will no doubt be glad to
learn of a means of fully posting
themselves, before starting out on their
journey to this the present Mecca of
civilization.
In this, as in all other respects, the
worlds fair authorities have made pro-
vision for the enlightenment of the
public. A department, known as the
bureau of public comfort, has been es-
tablished for the express purpose of
looking after the needs of the outside
world. This bureau is reliable source
of information, and any contract made
through its agency for rooms and ac-
commodations will be lived up to, as it

lumbar exposition, having been ere
ated by the board of directors, to con-
tribute as far as possible to the com
fort and convenience of expected Wis
itors.
The chief obstacle in the way of many
who would like to come to Chicago is
the difficulty of obtaining suitable
lodgings at a reasonable figure. AS q
rule hotel prices are little too steep,
more especially at time when any at
traction of national Importance is on.
AS in the present instance there will,
of course, be r big demand for rooms,
and the large number of visitors will
undoubtedly have some effect upon no
tel prices. Furthermore those who are
unacquainted with the city will have
some trouble in locating themselves in
comfortable and convenient quarters
1t will be seen at a glance then that
any arrangement whereby intending
visitors can secure accommodations in
advance, and have place to go
right into viii be great boon.
This can be accomplished through
the worlds fair bureau of public COM

eager little hands were stretched
toward the flowers Close beside her
they laid the plant, its scarlet glory
caressing the sunken cheek. And so
the child fell into the sound sleep
whose waking would be amid the
flowers of paradise.
When the little form was carried away
from the room whose four walls had
encompassed its world, the little GER
anium stood denuded of its glory, and
two scarlet white-eyed blossoms were
fading in the still clasp4d hands. And
Miss Eaton. drawing jamie close to her
side as they took last look at the
peaceful baby face, heard for the first
time the story of the little plant that
had cheered the tedious days of the
patient sufferer-heard it with pang
at her tender heart at thought of the
lost opportunity for making glad the
heart of one OF Christ's little ones.
Il wish 1 had known BEFORE" she
sighed.
Very lonely were the days for the
sad-eyed mother and sister. Sleet and
snow gradually changed to beating
rain, and slowly but steadily the sod
den earth grew green. Again small
buds formed under the sheltering
leaves of the sturdy plant; again the
slender flower stalks shot up with their
clustered promise.

But with the thought was linked an
other Should not this precious plant
be offered instead as her Easter sacri-
fee? She turned little pale and drew
in quick breath. Could this offering
be required of her? 1t had been her
one comfort in those days of loneliness
and longing to think that soon the
sturdy plant would stand as a visible
link between herself and the baby Sis
ter in the unseen world.
Il can't rob Alice. Besides, they
wouldn't want it anyway, among their

forted herself, but not for long. ''She
loved to hear about the class" came
the second thought. ''Alice would have

the blooming geranium for her mother
to take parting look. Her lips quiv-

it?" she whispered, TREMENDOUSLY.
Eyes, dear. God bless the sacrifice

holding the lamp high to light the
stairs, watched jamie out of sight.
1t was Easter eve, and when jamie
passed from the mild darkness of the
night into the dimly-lighted church,
she found many a busy group already
absorbed in their labor of love. About
, the font the gay girls of her own class
were assembled, wreathing its marble
whiteness with garlands of white lilies
under Miss Eaton's direction.
jamie crept timidly up the broad
aisle, and stood close to the busy group
before her presence was noted. at an
exclamation of one of the girls, Miss
Eaton glanced up to see the shy face
peeping out above the brilliant bios

"Why, Janie!" she said, and went to

Into them jamie thrust her burden,
abashed by the looks of surprise and
disapproval which greeted her gift.
