THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
AND THE
Pan-American Exposition.

In none of the new Industries of the
last decade has there been greater pro-
gress than in the art of preparing and
managing great expeditions. It was
often SAID after the Worlds Fair closed
Its gates that this country would NOT
see its equal in fifty years. That pre-.
diction will be disproved In the present
year OF 1901; for in all but the space &C.
cnpied, the an-American Exposition
at Buffalo will excel the great show Of
1888. This means that more can be
seen in the same length of time at the
Pan-AmerIcan, With less of the fatigue
and WEAKNESS that was unavoidable at
the Worlds Fair. The exhibits will be
as varid. interesting and instructive as
1t Is possible to make them; and in the
matter of entertainment features. the
Buffalo show will surpass all former ex.
positions.
An artistic booklet, of sixteen pages,
beautifully illustrated, and giving q
concise description of what this great
exposition is to be, will be mailed free
on application to the undersigned.
The Illinois Central is prepared to
handle q very large business to Buffalo
this season, and is in q position to offer
unsurpassed service to the Exposition
City. The excursion rates have moi
been announced as yet, but 30 soon az
they are, all those who have sent for .
copy of the Expedition Booklet will be
promptly notified.

"An is 1t true. Loueesy, that you do

Then he passed on and went to his
own room. He picked up his gun and
examined 1t and saw that 1t was in
perfect order. He set 1t down where 1t
would be handy to him, saying to him
self:
''Thafs all I'll need. an It's all I'll
take"
Then he took some papers from lit

walked down the street until he came

tice Of the peace. In all his move

as though nothing out of common had
transpired. and there were no outward
indications Of the fire that was trying

Appearing before the squire, he
placed the papers on the desk, saying
quietly:

"Why?

"But it's jestice to Loueesy, all the

it's little enough, considerin all owe

The squire looked puzzled.
II don't understand about that" he
said. "From what I've heard, 1t amt
your fault that things are the way they
are"
''It is, though. It's all my fault"
II can't see how that is, Sim. 1

"But I have, squire. I've done her a

and turned back to his desk. A little
CURLY, 1t seemed to Sim, he said:

Instead Of replying, Sim drew nearer
to the squire and placed his hand on
