in a private house can be had for two dollars day, and the meals will be had where you happen to be.
 say room can be had for two dol lars a day; but, as the advertisements say, it is from that up, and sometimes quite way up. l will not vOuch for the absolute truth of this story; but it Buffalo, as everywhere else, human na- ture will take advantage of those that are pressed into corner. Two young men put up at the - Hotel in Buff faloover night. ,They had a good room, an excellent room, quite in keeping with the good name of the hOStelry, and expected to pay for it fair sum: "Ten dollars, please" was the hotel clerks modest answer when asked, in the morning, for the bill. On the X being given over, as the two young men were going away ratherlighter in some respects and wiser in others, the young man who had not handed out the money was asked for ten dollars more. Yes, that is what 1 mean, twenty dollars was charged these young men for remaining in an elegant hotel over night. It is needless to say that the following night was spent elsewhere. Human nature is human nature the world around, whether found in HOttentOt or man who is not working through the hot summer months at Buffalo just for fun. Hn- man nature is human nature, but when touched by grace it can become sweet as an angels. A lady told us that she had decided to put off some repairs on her Buffalo home until an- other spring, because plasterers were charging six dollars day and the pay of carpenters was prohibitive. A good many people wonder why the buildings and grounds at the Pan-American were so long unfinished and are un- finished yet. These people no doubt think that the directors of the Fair are to blame. They, fOrSOOth, imagine that there was a defect in the plan ming somewhere, and of course believe that if they had had matters in charge quite different showing would have condition of affairs can in all honesty be blamed upon that old scapegrace, the weather. It's the Weather,' we can all say in chorus; for you remem- Der what an awful spring we had. Corn could not be planted, and potatoes for an early crop were put in the ground in June; and carpenters could not work on the Exposition buildings either. But our dear old friend, the weather, cannot bear it all. The labOring men were more in fault than the weather. They saw they had the directors of the Fair at their mercy; and so when the directors wanted the work pushed and the workmen knew that the directors higher wages. I think they got the raise, but their action came back like a boomerang upon them. People every where are lOOsing much of the sym pathy that they used to have for the iabOring man. He had much justice l in his cause and still has; but too of l ten the strike is used as and engine of | tyranny by the labor union. The capitalist, because money is power and ali ability that a man has is power, can be a tyrant. He often is, but he does not wear this fools cap alone.

Itis all well enough to have in your mind an out l line of the grounds and guide book 1 in your hand; but l would not take the element of surprise and curiosity out of the trip, which furnishes the charm to all travel, by knowing be- forehand exactly what you are going to do every hour of each day. We stumbled upon our boarding place.
