Colorado Excels In These and VIII
show Them Among other Prod
ucts al the Worlds Fair.

Colorado, with 100000 to expend
in the collection and display OF her
exhibits at the Worlds Fair, and In
erecting a state pavilion, has entered
upon the work with a zeal certain TO
bring great results.
On q commanding site on the pla-
teau OF states, skirted by the intram-
ural railway, is the structure OF that
great western state, a building OF
Spanish renaissance architecture, two
stories high. yet presenting a mass
i've appearance. Broad steps in the
center OF the main facade lead to a
porch that runs nearly the entire
length Of the building, and from
which visitors may view the exposi
ton grounds by looking through nine
large archways. The porch on the
second floor is open, a low square
tower rises above the main entrance,
and that is ~surmounted by a low
dome.
on the first floor will be a recep-
ton and banquet room, and offices for
the executive star, also cloak and tot
let rooms. The second floor will col
tain bed rooms. and a hospital room
In all OF the great palaces, Colora-
dos commissioners have obtained

will reveal the states wealth In miner
ais. In the Agricultural palace a large
variety Of the products Of the soil will
be shown, In Forestry, FISH and game
will be as attractive an exhibit as put
forward by any state In the union.
Timber from mountain and lowland
win be so treated as TO show all Of
the valuable lumber interests. The
streams Of Colorado abound with fish
that make II one Of the most popular
summer resorts /, and these members
OF the finny tribe will be transferred

by everyone who has read Mark
Twain's first famous book, .Roughing
It." was the driver who was in charge
of the stage that carried Horace Gree
ley into Placerville n evening in
the latter sixties. Mr.. Greeley was
booked to deliver an address in that
mining village at Z o'clock. The trip
was tedious and the great editor be-
gan to fear that he would not reach
placerville In time to keep his en-
gagement. He leaned out of the stage
window and asked the driver, Hank
Monk. if he could not entice a little
more speed from the horses.
The i~mperturbable driver leaned
down and replied: Keep your seat,
Horace. III get You there in time
How Hank kept his word is graph.
cally recorded by Mr.. Clemens. Prob
ably no trip oyer the mountains was
ever made at such ~break-neek speed.
The distinguished passenger was
tossed around In the bounding stage
like corn in a pepper and there were
those who declared that Mr.. Greeley's
head was forced through the roof.
The trip was the topic Of the entire
coast country and some admirers OF
the celebrated driver bought him q
handsome gold watch. In side the
case appears this inscription.
Presented to Hank Monk In COM
memoration Of his celebrated drive in
landing Horace Greeley on time.
Keep your seat. Mr.. Greeley. I'll get
you there on time
At the time Of the Greeley ride
Hank Monk was In the employ OF Or.

Pineapple Preserves.

1t will soon be at its cheapest and
best for preserving, and is an exceed
ingly satisfactory fruit to do at home,
as it seldom spells. 1t should be pre-
served in quite heavy syrup, three
quarters of a pound of sugar being
used to pound of fruit, measured
after the pineapple had been peeled,
cut into little cubes or shredded with a
fork. The manner of preparation is
merely matter of individual taste.
In peeling the apple use a silver knife
or else a small keen-edge French
boning knife, which enables one to
work rapidly. The acid of the pine
is so strong that it becomes contami-
mated with the flavor OF the steel IL
one is to deliberate. Dip frequently
in cold water during the cutting pro
cess. Put the pineapple in a large
stone jar and cover with the sugar in
layers. Cover and set in the cellar
or ice box over night In the morning
the juice will have dissolved the sugar
and rich syrup will cover the fruit
Put the pine and the juice in the pre-
serving kettle, let it come slowly to the
boiling point, boil five minutes, then
can at once.
