Boyhood of a Great Man.

BOyhood of a Great Man.
The old sehoolmaster looked over
the exercise the lad had written.
You have spelled that word honor
wrong" he said. There should be
u in it,
mo, there shouldn't!" hotly replied
the lad. 1--WE spelt it right"
''I'H show you, sirr' rejOined the old
schoolmaster, reaching for the rod.
After the physical exercise was over
the boy returned to his seat with tears
of rage and anguish in his eyes.
"I'll show him some day. he said,
rubbing himself.
Years afterward that boy, grown to
manhood, wrote n book, an enormous
book, in which he not only insisted on
spelling it honor" but vindictively
took all sorts of liberties with the
style of spelling taught him by the old
pedagogue.
The name of that boy was Noah
Webster.-Chicago Tribune.

One feature of kind which no west
ern worlds fair can match will be
the assembling of 10000 Buddhist
priests arrayed in gorgeous vestments
to chant hymns in commemoration of
the thirteen hundredth anniversary of
the death of Prince Shotoku. Only once
before has this great ceremony been
performed in Japan. The first time was
200 years ago. In connection with
this rite great bell 26 feet high and 10
feet in diameter will be cast in the
temple grounds, tie material for the
bell to be a medley of mirrors, swords,
kettles and all manner of other metallic
offerings of pious Buddhists.
Another feature which would be of
peculiar interest to western beholderS
will be the geisha dances. These dances
occur annually at the Osaka training
school for dancers. This year they fall
within the time of the exposition and
will be performed with unusual splen-
dor
Osaka is the second largest city Of
the Japanese empire, with Il population
of nearly a million. 1t is so old and
beautiful and quaint that foreign visit
ors have called it the Japanese Venice.
1t is SO busy, progressive and modern
that others have called it the Chicago
of Japan, while still others. looking up
on its ships and its industry and thrift,
have called it a second Glasgow. 1t is
the richest city in the empire, covering
an area of twenty-one square miles,
and manufactures everything from ar
tificial flowers to steel biIlets and from
toothpicks to railway coaches. Many
Americans have arranged to visit the
Osaka fair.

WILL BE DEDICATED.

Ex-President Cleveland TO Take
Part In the Ceremonies.
st. Louis is in the midst of prepare
ton of the details of the greatest event
in the history of the city, the dedica-
ton of the grounds of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. The ceremonies
will occupy three days and will COM
prise national. an international and
a state day. On national day, April
80, President Roosevelt will dedicate
the exposition, after a military pageant
seldom equaled in the history of the
nation.
On interna tional day, May 1, it is pro-
posed to have the greatest floral pa
rade ever seen. The evening will be
made memorable by a great diplomatic
reception within the Liberal Arts build
ing to the ambassadors and ministers
from foreign nations and the commits
sioners general from these countries to
the exposition.
State day, May >, will be the occa-
sion of the laying of the cornerstone
OF SIaIS DuliuiISS anu DTODdDIy IL uldI1-
moth civic parade. Features of each OF
these days will be displays of day fire
works on q gigantic scale.
Already orders have been issued from
the war department for the mobiliza-
ton of 1000 regulars to take part in
the military parade, which will be mar
shaled by Major General Henry G. Cor
bin. His staff will include some of the
finest soldiers in the army and, with
sailors, marines and national guard,
will make up one of the most imposing
military spectacles ever seen in this
country.
The parade will be headed by Cen
eral Corbin and brilliant staff of OFF,
GERS and the exposition band of 200
pieces. Then will follow the president
in a carriage drawn by eight white
horses, surrounded by outriders and
guard of infantrymen and bluejackets.
After the president will come the mem
bers of the cabinet, the justices of the
supreme court, senators and repre-
sentatives of congress and the diplo-
matte corps.
Then will come the engineers of the
regular army, who always enjoy the
privilege of marching at the head of
any parade in which they participate.
1t is seldom that engineers are seen
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-03-28

anywhere as an organization, so their
appearance will be peculiarly interest
ing. Back of the engineers will march
the regular infantry. One regiment of
this detail will appear in khaki uni
forms, another regiment in the new
olive drab service garb and a third in
full dress. These will be followed by
the militia of the various states that
have signifed their intention of taking
part, each states detachment being
headed by its governor. Sixteen gov
errors have already made the necessa-
ry preparations for participation.
At General Corbin's suggestion a sec
ton of Forest park, through which the
parade will pass, has been set aside as
reserve for the $4,000 school children
of St Louis, each of whom will wave
an American flag.
The state troops pledged to take part
in the parade already number 10000.
but the exposition management believe
this number will be augmented by
5000 more before the time for the dedi-
cation arrives. This will bring the
number of soldiers in line near to the
10000 mark.

will be arranged to seat 10000 persons.
That many chairs have been purchased
by the management. A chorus of 1000
trained voices will sing anthems from
tiers of seats which are arranged to
bring the singers into full view of the
vast audience.

Roosevelt will dedicate the exposition,
former President Cleveland will deliver
the grafton of the day, Cardinal Glib
bons will pronounce the invocation and
Bishop Potter the benediction will be
raised SO that view may be had of the
dignitaries from every portion of the
building. The other distinguished
guests will be seated on raised plat
form near the speakers.
With such brilliant display the
Louisiana Purchase exposition will
mark it's final work of preparation for
what every indication points will be
the grandest and most comprehensive
exposition ever held on the globe.

JAPAN's NATIONAL FAIR.

Absorbed western Ideas.

How the 'sYanEees of the East" Have
Absorbed western Ideas.
Now that Japan has just opened its
national exposition. the fifth under the
patronage of the government, the infiu-
ence of western civilization on those
Yankees of the east is more than
ever made apparent not only in the
adoption of the exposition idea, but in
the comprehensiveness of the display
and the magnitude and architecture of
the exposition buildings, which reveal
American art and American workman
ship in almost every detail.
The Osaka exposition, which was
opened the first of this month and will
continue through April, May, June and
July, is designed to eclipse all of its
predecessors. The mikado has shown
the keenest personal interest in it and
named his royal highness Prince Koto-
hito as honorary president.

You may secure the same relief as
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
as she took it. Thedford's Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.

BOY KILLED AT NEWTON.
Accident Similar to One Here on
Same CaV

Roy Dunlap, call boy employed by
the Santa Fe. was run over and fatally
injured by switch engine and train of
cars in the Santa Fe yards at Newton,
Tuesday.
The accident which caused his death
was very similar to that which caused
the death OF Frank CLANCY, in this city,
Tuesday 1t is a remarkable coincidence
that these two accidents, so much alike,
should happen in the same manner. the
same day. TO employees of the same COM
pany. and in adjoining towns. While
Dunlap lay dying in Newton. the accident
which killed CLANCY happened here.
Dunlap was Is years old and was call
boy at the Santa Fe depot at Newton.
About lIs40 Tuesday. he started to de-
liver some message in the yards. and step
ped upon the foot-board of passing
switch engine. expecting to ride 10 his
destination The foot-board was covered
with ice. and his feet slipped. causing
him to fall in front Of the engine He
fell on his back, with his lower limbs
inside the rails. When the engine struck
him he was rolled several feet, then was
passed over by the engine and seven
cars His right limb was almost severed
from the body and his abdomen was badly
injured He was taken TO his home, where
he died about 2:45 p. m.
