THE one real object In the gigantic un-

and In the most practical way to carry
out the ideas first promulgated by that
great statesman James @. Blaine. on
which his plans OF reciprocity were based.
While the exposition is to be International

regarding the products of the countries
tributary to the Pacific coast, such as
Alaska, China. Japan, Russia, the Phil

is to receive tho greater share of attcn-
ton. In taking this departure the plans
win be entirely different from the exposi-
tions held at Atlanta, Omaha. Nashville,
Buffalo and st. Louis. Instead OF devot-

from all countries in the world and par

are interested. 1t will afford an oppor-
tunity for these countries to assemble
their products at a common center and

When pa takes care Of me,

It seems that everything
Comes on me when I've got the most

But suppose I've got to get it through
NIth,so you needn't fuss one bit about
Him; I'll take charge of him while

But ma makes him repeat all she has

Aboutwhat he's to do; guess she's
afraid
To let him try his way
Of watching me, the day
When pa takes care Of me.
When pa takes care CT me.
He puts me on a rug,
Gives me a kiss and hug,
Then brings in every pillow he can find.
And piles them in front, at sides. be-

Ne. so that you can't hurt yourself" :"
he says.
And then he gets my picture books and

and toys,
And says, Now go ahead; make all the

You want TO; OOn care
And l sit there and stare,
When pa takes care OF me.

No book or toy or game

And by and by I'm through with every

And when 1 cry pa says, "Have you

There's everything you own! Why dom
you play?
Stop crying nowi You won't? Well.

starts some song
About by, Baby, ByP'
And I lie fiat and cry.
When pa takes care of me-
When pa takes care of me.
He grabs me up at last
And starts to walk real fast.
And talks to me, and pats my back. and
tries
To act as if he liked it; but he slghs.
And sighs, and keeps a-lCokin at the
clock
And out the window. up and down the
block.
For sight OF man; and when she does

She grabs me quick and says, It's a

And pa looks mad, and-I---
