Albert Trigger, of Atlanta, Ga, is as
black as a negro ever gets to be, and
has no college education, yet he is a
man who commands an almost princely
salary and works any number of hour:
he pleases. Trigger is coming to Chi
cago, where he will sit in the exhibit
of buggy company and draw one dol
lar an hour salary. That is his stock in
trade--to sit-but he must not move a
muscle and that is what he gets paid
for. When he begins his service in Chi
cago he will sit in buggy and hold the
reins over a horse made of papier
mache He must sit so perfectly still
as to attract attention and make the
people that gaze at hum doubt that he is
alive. That is all he will do, but it is a
hard job at best and very trying on the
nerves Trigger recently told an At
lanta Herald man that he was the only
man in the world who could claim to be
perfect poser. lie began seven years
ago in Athens and since then has been
practicing almost constantly. Two
years ago he was at the Piedmont ex-
position at Atlanta and attracted the
attention of every visitor who went in
the main building. An Atlanta buggy
company decided to have an exhibit at
Chicago and the management also de-
cided to have Trigger, SO he will go to
the big fair. sit in the main building

of a million lungs will be united in a
patriotic din such as the world has
never heard. 1t will begin at sunrise

shoulders at the wheel, and with the
brilliance of the dedication to- eclipse

history deserves the greatest celebration
that money and brains can devise at the
hands of the greatest enterprise the
country ever witnessed. All the men
who make such occasions a business

visiting nations may understand how
numerously and noisily loyal this free
people is. From dawn until the next
daylight there will be such a bewilder-

whole world will be convinced that this
whole people is as loyal to the old dec

Josiah" inquired Mrs. Chugwater, as
she poured the coffee, "what does it
mean when the papers talk about the
financial situation being strained and
the money market unsettled, and all
that sort of thing?"
1T means that there is an uneasy
feeling about securities" answered
Mr. Chugwater, reaching for another
biscuit
"What does that mean?"
"why, stocks and bonds, and-um-

"What makes them have an uneasy

Chugwater obviously. What is it
that makes money scarce? Does the

"No It's simply withheld from in

that?"
"Y-yes, suppose so. What does any

Josiah"
"It's all a matter of public conf

impatient when everybody has con-
fidence in his fellow men there's no
stringency. It's this ridiculous habit
some people have" he went on, warm

WHERE THE BABIES ARE KEPT.

ana 4 exas have just completed their ex-
hibits and have done the opening
honors in magnificent style. More nota-
BILE than the others is probably the Cal
ifornia building, ON account OF the
magnitude of its dimensions and the
variety and volume of its contents.
Built on the lines of the old Spanish
missions of the Pacific coast il is ex-
ceedingly picturesque. and filed as it is
with the wonderful productions of the
Golden State" il affords the visitor a
world of pleasure in the contemplation
of its beauties.
There are but few of the state build
ings now unfinished, and those states
unrepresented by buildings have ex-
hibits in the large buildings of the fair.
Among the latter is Oregon, whose fair
appropriation was made at so late a
date that it was decided impracticable
to attempt the erection of building.
The state. however. is very creditably
represented in the various department
| buildings of the exposition.
just at present the weather is very
warm and we are having foretaste OF
what we may expect during the heat OF
the midsummer days. Several cases OF
prostration have resulted from injudi-
cious exposure on the part OF too eager
sightseers. and the patrol wagons of the
police department have been called
into requisition to convey the victims
of inordinate curiosity to the hospital.
With one thing and another the
police of the fair have been kept pretty
busy since the opening day. although
the number of crimes committed in the
grounds has been surprisingly small.
Once in awhile some luckless individual
meets with a loss CT an accident and inn
mediately resorts TO the patrol, which
attends 10 his case with promptness
and dispatch. Since the cessation of
building operations there have been but
few accidents to workmen, the only
death reported for q long time occur
ring few days ago.
This was very distressing case. One

Mexico's Precious Woods.

More than two thousand Lillets Of
fine wood are on show in the Mexican
section of the Forestry building. Their
two thousand specimens represent about
four hundred varieties of native woods.
The specimen logs are arranged in a
great variety of ways. Some of them
are in the rough and some of them are
polished until you can see reflection in
them. The most precious woods on
display. those used for decorative pur-
poses, come from the states of Chaipas,
We're Cruz. Campeche and Tegir. There
are wood mosacs on display made Of
coffee wood. zorillo, narango, sangre
de toro and the like, all of exquisite
grain and polish. Some fine specimens
of maplewood and many varieties OF
mimosas are also shown. Included Ia
the display is an exhibit of Mexican
medicinal plants and banks. as well as
tan barks of several varieties. There
is also some fine basket work done by
Mexican Indians

fessional men. The replies are as such

can work long and well on hours of
sleep which would fail to restore
another. as one man can use the to-

work by hy work by night Now,
other things being equal, the value of
morning sleep is less than of sleep by
night: it is ligher and more open
to disturbances. lie who reads and
writes by night finds, at three score or

KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROxBURY, MASS.

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind OF Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down To a common Pimple.
He has tried ii in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humOr). He has row in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity IS taken.
When the lungs are affected il causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused By the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking il.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamiSh feelings at first.
