building. have been attended by far
larger number Of people, II is said than

Chiquita is no freak. but a dainty
well dressed and accomplished lady OF

years of age, and only 26 inches In

Visitors to the exposition are oe-
lighted with her, and her prettily ar
ranged reception parlors are crowded

Hay Fever Associntion.

The American Hay Fever association,
so far as known, is the only society in
the United States bound together by the
ties Of disease. There is no diphtheria
club or pneumonia circle, or independ-
ent order of rheumatics, or other Or
ganizations where a common malady
forms a bond of union. Only members
of the American Hay Fever association
blow their noses and wipe their eyes in
unison. The Hay Fever association was
first heard Of a good many years ago,
when Henry Ward Beeches was a lead
ing spirit and the gathering ground
of the organization was said to be The
White mountains in New Hampshire.
Later New Mexico was proclaimed the
sneezer's Mecca, and Captain Philip
Reade, U. S. A., appeared as chief
scribe. Now it is given out that Mar
quette, Mich. is the head center in
place of Petosky, originally selected,
and it is said that the fall meeting Of
the association will see a thousand
members in attendance.-Kansas City
