and his success in this direction as
sured the success of the enterprise.
Five million dollars was subscribed
by the citizens of ST. Louis, a like
amount was given by the city, and
81 100000 by the state of Missouri
The general government gave $6,000,-
900, making a total of ST. 100000 to
install the exposition. Excepting the
amount given by the general govern
ment the donations were all in the
shape of bond subscriptions, and the
bonds will be taken up with the
funds received after the fair is
opened. unless the enterprise should
fail to pay. in which case the sub
scribers will lose their money.
President Francis is wonderful
organizer, and the work has been di-
vided and subdivided into divisions
and departments and the vast ma
chinery of the pre- paratory work is
moving like clOckwork. Capable
men have been sent into every corner
of the globe to solicit exhibits and
to explain the importance and mag
ntude of the exposition to the rulers
of the various nations. The real
secret, however, of President Francis
success is his ability as an adver-
tiser. This department has been
well organized from the start, and
through it's efforts, public interest in
the enterprise has never for a mo-
ment been allowed to Tag. Even the
dedication of the grounds by Presi-
dent Roosevelt was a clever bit of
advertising, well calculated to i'm
press not only the American people,
but foreign monarchs as well. Taken
all in all the fair promises to be a
grand success, and the $4,000 re-

FORT BLUNDER.
How 1t Was That Uncle Sam Built
1t on British Soil.

Curious indeed is an American fort
which was built on British soil. How
many can guess what fort it is and
where located? The name is Fort
Montgomery. and the location is on an
island near the foot of Lake Champlain.
about half mile northeast of Rouse's
Point n. Y.
A short time ago, when travelling in
that part of the country, saw this fort
and asked the name of it, 'WLy, that
is Fort Blunder," said my informant.
Did you never hear of it," confessed
ignorance, and he explained matters.
1t seems that after the war Of 1912
the government of the United States
became convinced that the entrance to
Lake Champlain should be guarded by
fort strong enough to engage any
British fleet which might attempt to
force an entrance to the lake, and so
Fort Montgomery was CONSTRUCTED at
a cost of nearly 100000. 1t was an
immense fertilization for those days
and was arranged for three tiers of
guns.
Just about the time it was completed
the joint surveyors fixing the line be-
tween the United States and Canada
came along and. after doing good bit
of figuring, announced that Fort Mont
gomcry was on Canadian soil The
northern boundary of New York state
was the foity-ffth parallel and this
fort was several hundred yards over
the line. Work on the fort came to an
immediate StandStill. and the matter
was made the subject of special
treaty.
1t was decided that in view of the
fact that the United States had not in
tentionally encroachcd on Canadian soil
the forty-lfth parallel should be bent a
little out of its course a this point so
as to include the fort. That is why
the fort is called Fort Blunder" 1t
was never armed and has never been
occupied by more than one or two men,

IN THE BAND WAGON.

At the ONO state convention a few
days ago. Senator Hanna gave an eX-
hibtion as political acrobat that is
seldom equaled-at a single bound
he turned complete sOmersault and
landed upon the front seat in the
Roosevelt band wagon. On Monday
he announced that he would fight
any attempt to indorse Roosevelt in
the Ohio state convention. On Tues
day, he announced that h had heard
from Mr.. Roosevelt, and that he
would no. oppose his Endorsement by
the convention, and when the con
vention met, three days later, he was
posing as the original advocate of
Nj. Booseyclt's denomination ~
senator Hanna was temporary
chairman of the convention and in
his opening speech took occasion to

THE BIG FAIR.

What can be accomplished by

well Illustrated in the progress that
is being made in thu Louisiana pur-
chase exposition to be held at St.

be purely local affair that would

which. in small way. would be
quite successful. But through the
business tact and energy of those
who have the affair in charge. its
scope has been broadened and given
an international character. until it
promises to eclipse any thing in the
way of eXpositions that the world
has ever produced. The success OF
such an undertaking depends almost
entirely upon the character of man
agement that is given to it, and in
this respect the ST. Louis enterprise
seems to have been most fortunate
The president of the exposition com
pany is David R. Francis, and to his
tireless energy and shrewdness the
progress so far made is due. Mr.
Francis is a typical American. ha:

Inc recent floods at Kansas City

derful advance made in science. and
in all branches of mechanics, floods
continue to devastate the most fer

not succeed as we'll even as did the
inhabitants of the valley of the Nile

has recently been turned to the mat
ter of controlling the floods by pre-
venting the melting of the SHOWS
through the preservation of the for

some hope of relief, but it will nee

Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in
which their bodies were to be disposed
of after death and the ceremonies to be
observed at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles Y. had
the curious idea of celebrating his own
funeral. Shortly before his death he
caused Il tomb to be made in the chapel
of the monastery of EStremadUra, to
which he had retired after his abdica-
ton, and ON its completion lac WAS car
riod TO it as though dead. Placed in Il
coffin and accompanied by Il process
sion, he was borne along, while chants
were sung, prayers said and tears shed.
After the solemn farce was over he
was left alone in the chapel. where he
remained a short time before rising
out of the coffin.

Efficiency.

In view of the fact that no less
than five officials in the post office
department have been arrested upon
serious charges, the efforts of Post
master General Payne to belittle the
gularitiCs in his department seem
somewhat out of place. The charges
placed against the accused include
bribery and other forms of corrup-
item and if the disclosures are as SEN
sational as promised, a serious state
Of affairs must exist in the post office

elan of the QuayCrocker type. and it
is doubtful if he considers the carry
