The Caward mentioned is A. II.

the person to whom sent. AS it was
perishable property, the station agent
was instructed to sell them for. the
freight. AIS mother had given him

had enough to buy the apples. He
employed Tommy Allen and A. Q.

Early May Fishing in New Hamp-
shire and Elaine.

Good fishing is being reported from
New England's lakes. In New Hamp-
shire last week in Lake Winnipesaukee
over thirty trout averaging four pounds
apiece were caught, and the salmon are
topping six and half pounds. New
found lake is sending forth some likely
samples, and Sunapee has her usual
crowd of callers. In Sebago down in
Maine last week some bouncers weigh
ing IA, ID, 10, s, y pounds respectively
were landed. The fishing in all lakes
where the ice has left is first-class, and,
from the present outlook, it appears that
Moosehead and Rangeley lakes will be
on the fishing list by the middle Of next
week.

st, Louis Exposition.
For the HERALD.

4 OF the HERALD.
st. Louis, April 80, 1904.
The st. Louis Exposition opened her
gates today, formally, to curious public
of 100000 strong.
A week ago six inches of snow lay on
the ground and rain upon rain has
deluged the surface, delaying seriously
the preparations. Up to a late hour
last night, trains of ears, packing boxes
and piles of debris INSTRUCTED the drive
ways, even in the ST. LoIis Plaza, where
the formal ceremonies are to occur.
Today, all this has been cleared away
and from the Lindell Avenue entrance
up to Festival Hall is a surging human
mass.
The st. Louis Plaza, with its terraces,
surmounted by Festival Hall and thanked
by the symbolic state arches, is beauti-
full. But to one who recalls the Court
of Honor at the Chicago Fair, there is
nothing to compensate for the loss OF
the vista of Lake Michigan through the
Peristyle.
Yesterday, the Idaho building was
one of the few buildings promising com
pletion Tor the opening day. And Idaho
has done what Vermont did at the
Chicago Fair-built a house a credit to
a pretty fancy of an able architect, but
in. no way distinctive of the state.
California, on the other hand, has re-
produced the the Santa Barbara mission.
On the door was placarded the follow
ing legend This building will not be
opened until we are assured that
we shall be blessed with California
weather." So it is up to the weather
man to provide the favorable conditions.
The Pike, with its midway promises,
has not bloomed yet into its glory; it
is all too crude, too rude and skeleton
like to tempt one over the rough clay
paths.
With the usual delay of public cere,
monies it was l.30, instead of II when
President Roosevelt touched the button
in Washington that started the machin
cry, unfured the flags and let loose the
water flood over the cascade into the
basin beneath. The weather was per
feet, bright sunshine, little breeze and
just comfortably warm for light dress,
ing.
Quite as interesting as the fair is st
Louis, whether out in the parks, in the
reservoir district of beautiful residences
or down by tie river at the Greek Mis-
, sion where, established in the old Ben
ton House, that used to entertain Henri,
, Clay and his friends, two mission
minded good souls keep lodging hous,
for hundred Greeks and meanwhile
teach them the English language by wa,
! of the new testament. Or YOU ma

That Labor will still continue to think
that an eight-hour day, aud increased

vantage ground when taking views.
That the editor who expressed the
opinion that President Elliot's thoughts
upon the subject are 'veritable pearls,
yet likely to be "no better appreciated"
by Labor ethan those of the parable" is
unaware that his own idea is not a gem
of the first water.

OF order and the sobrlety OF men. 1t is
wiser to be lover of the Lords Day and
obedient to the laws of God, than to
bow before the shrine of pleasure OF
ride with avarice. Give us the curfew
bell for both old and young; build de.
fensive battlements about the home
advocate technical obedience to law and
maintain personal dignity and cleanli.
ness, and then, with no beam in our
own eyes, we can help to remove the
notes from the eyes of others. Law
abiding citizens should unite to see
those punished who recognize no re-
straint to their own personal wishes
when their actions become a menace to
the well ordering of the community.
This talk may be called sermon by
some. Well we are inclined to think
we all need it more or less. We live
too much on the surface, and 60 too sell
dom TO the root of the matter. There
will be no lessening of crime until we
admit its true source and cleanse the
fountains there. The conditions of the
day of which we are all fraction, catch
the youth of the land in their unrelent-
ing grasp, and monster like, drag them
on toward the den of misery and the
gateway of crime. The press of the
state must come to the front, and unite
hand and voice with the pulpit and the
platform in crusade against evils of
all kinds in the community, if we
would save our boys and girls and put a
stop to the increase of crime.
