A Mr.. Wilkinson, a clergyman.



He sowed, and hoped for reaping-
A happy man and wise;
The clouds-they did his weeping,
The wind-it sighed his signs.
He made what Fortune brought him
The limit of desire;
Thanked God for shade in summer
days.
In winter time. for fire.
When tempest, as with vengeful rod,
His earthly mansion cleft,
On the blank sod, he still thanked God
Life and the land were left!
Content, his earthly race he ran,
And died-so people say
Some ten years later than the man
Who worried his life away.

Big Crowds at Mechanics Fair.

The old Mechanics Fair in Boston is enjoy
daily attendance being from II 10 20 thou
sand; and yet the building is so capscious,
and the exhibits so conveniently arranged,
that there is plenty Of room for all these peo-
pie without uncomfortable crowding. There
is so much to see that is novel and interesting
that train time arrives all too early. The
big presses, looms, reachines, shoe-shops, hat
factories, and electrical cooking and heating
devices, interest and delight all visitors, white
men gather in great numbers at the Briggs
Elec rio Cushion tables, whare exhibitions
of expert pool and billiard playing are given
hourly. OF course, Keiths Paul Revere
Theatre is thronged from morning until
night, and is OF the most enjoyable feat
ures If he Fair. The demonstration of the
X-ray, the artificial dayi hit parlor, the mys-
teries of wireless tele graphy, by which minia-
walls, the ele c ricsl tablcaux, illustrating the
several stages of electrical development-al
offer variety of entertainment. during the
month of November music will DO furnished
by Reeves celebrated American band of
Providence, assisted by MIR. h. K. Church, the
famous cornet soloist. Inc Cambridge Man
ual Training School Band also gives con-
certs every Saturday. Great interest centers
in the Horseless Carriage or Automobile de-
partment, where are seen the most a ivanced
types of French, German, English and Anne =
lcan horseless Carriages. The Japanese Tea
Garden is source of delight, as aside from
its superb scenic aud realistic effectiveness
is peopled BY native Japanese family ,incluG-
ing beautiful girl of l6, and two tiny tots.
The family appear in frequent changes of ma
tive costume, several of them very rich aud
elegant. Life goes on here as in japan, the
adult members of the family being engaged
in household occupations, and the little ones
merriIy disnortinp themselves at childish
games The picture is one that fingers long
in memory.
1t is the universal verdict of the Boston
newspaper press that this exhibition is the
best ever given by the Mechanics Association
and when one stops to consider that % cents
admits to all it's varied and delightful attrac-
tions, it is no wonder that it is such grand
success. But short TINA now remains il
which to enjoy this delightful treat, as the ex-
hibition will positively close Defender 8.
