tics Of their natural environments in the
bravery Of spring adornment.
On May 80 President Roosevelt was the
distinguished guest of the state of Mis-
souri, and city of st. Louis. represented by
the official board of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition company, at one Of the most i'm
poTtant and imposing functions ever chron-
icled in the annals of the west. It was the
formal dedication of the fair TO be held in
commemorative Of the one hundredth
anniversary of the purchase OF the
Louisiana territory from France. This
great expanse of country equal in
area to tho entire United States at
that time, and which has since, by a
remarkable coincidence, been divided into
thirteen states, just the number OF the
original colonies, has proven to be an en-
pirc whose resources have exceeded by
many thousandfOld the most sanguine ex-
pcctations of those who advocated it's pur-
chase. Napoleon Bonaparte is alleged to
have said in defending his action in con-
GLIDING the negotiations OF the purchase
with the American representatives, ~ will
build up a power in the west that will
sweep England off the sea" II may have
been a random remark, intended to conceal
the real reason of the great emperor, but
1t has proven true in more ways than he
could have even dreamed. In the United
States senate a message was read from
President jefferson, defending his action
in negotiating the purchase, in the course
OF which he set forth that somewhere in
the midst OF the unexplored wilderness was
known to exist a mountain of pure salt. the
value Of which would ultimately exceed
that of the money involved. Just what
President Jefferson would say IL he saw the
annual product of the fields, mines, mills
and factories Of the Louisiana territory
piled in one place. may be conjectured
only. And ia years after the first presi-
dent of the United States was inaugurated
with solemn formality the twenty-sixth
president, amid the publications OF many
thousands OF his fellow citizens, formally
accepted in the name OF the nation and
dedicated to its uses the site and buildings

pains to cater TO II, says the Chicago Inter-

casting of the seine, to present one Of their
largest shad to the clergyman.
But last spring the first cast was made
on a Sunday, and the fishermen hesitated,
therefore, about making Mr.. Brady their
usual gift. Finally. though. they decided
to risk It, and one of their number called
at the Brady residence with a fine shad.

minister, and he relieved the other Of the
