BURNS COTTAGE AT THE FAIR
A Perfect Replica of the Home of
the Immortal scottish Bard
at 81. Icuis.

ST. Louis, May 13.--To lovers OF
Burns and his poetry, one of the most
interesting spots or the exposition
grounds will be the Burns cottage on
Administration avenue, near Skinker
road. This cottage is replica OF the
home of the immortal Scottish bard, In
AYRSHIRE. Here were composed the
greater part Of Burnes' poems; here
Tam O'Shanter came into being; be-
fore this humble frefide, and inspired
by these surroundings was written that
greatest tribute 10 the poor home
stead, "The Cotter's Saturday Might.
Though made in staff, the most mod
ern of building materials, the cottage
is given every appearance Of old age
BY a skillful mixture Of lamp-black anc
pigments. the walls show weather
stains just as the criginl does. The
thatch of the roof, made fire-proof by
the use Of asbestos, gives every appear
ance of having witnstood for years the
snow and rain of winter and the beat
ing sun Of summer. The chimney is
blackened as II by the CHEEKY fres OF
years, and even the rough flags with
which the floor is paved show the un-
even wear of the owners feet.
Within the historic building are
shown some of the most precious relics
of Burns. These will not be limitations,
but the actual possessions of the bard,
which aow for the first time may be
seen without trip across the ocean
to his home.

an electric fountain whose effect Is
magnificent by every one of the globes

to be set in the skylight to reflect light
upon the fountain.
