Now, Just contemplate what a wonder

Not many of US down here eaii sks n slI,
but it is a big thing for us to see a part.
II expands and broadens us to look upon
these tbiigs. Of course mean intellect

pursued their waidsntss Next we pc
ruscd the Plant system aud saw Florida
in oil her glory. His building looks like
~ Bgyptian pyramid and is covered with
pebble phosphate. Nent we visited the

By and by we got to the Costa Rica
building, Whefs bisr Florida niece is queen
of the realm, and there We got -oaee and
hot waffics and spread our lunch afa

place to rest that is upon the grounds.
Clats Nicer is IT. -four feet and the view
all around y8H IL charming. There We
heard the exquisite music OF 6iInfofefs q
band and wondered If there could be afiy
sweeter music 10 heaven. From there

ings ind bt this titiic my wife was tired
and surrendered iifot the steps. She
had seen enough for one day, diid sdid
she wished she was at home. The mind
has to have time TO digest things just
like the body. We urged her to go up
to the MIDWAY ahd shoot the chutes and
ride on the scenic railway, bat no, she
said she had shot enough and seen enough
and Would wait for some other time u
see the rest. "Woii't tcn take q boat ride
on Clara MeerY' But no, the collapse
had come. We went back to Costa Rica
and sat down and listened to more music
ana saw the electric lights turned on and
wefe happy. by hnlf-past Z o'clock we
were back to the city and l feasted them
at Durands hospital table MP the winding
stairs. What delightful effect good
oysters and bcefstcak and delicious coffee
do have upon both mind and body. We
all got back home ut 10 o'clock that night
and there were lights in the window for
us and even fhc little girl had kept
awake to see II grandma came and how
she liked the fair. She had already been
there on the children's day and wanted to
20 ssaih and show her grandma about,
but she ceuldent.
But we will eli go again before il closes
