Exhibit at the Exposition.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, MAY II, 1904.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Man when |
brought face to face with his God Is |
forced to bow his head in silent rev.
ereIce. And nowhere else is his own
insignifcance so Impressed upon him
as when he sees the mountains tow
ering thousands OF feet above with
precipice below at the foot of which in
some places 2 thousand feet distant
the beautifully river runs on its course
to the sea. 1t is grand beyond des-
cription-th;s trip through the noun
tainS.
We arrived in st. Louis at 4:3O
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, May 10th,
two days and one night on the road.
| was too tired to start out sight
seeing so went to bed early and slept
all night determined to take a good
start Wednesday morning. And
s O'Clock found me in the Exposition
grounds-and such a panorama as
spread out before our vision is
wonderful to behold. There are
miles and miles of the prettiest and
most imposing buildings filled with
all kinds of things the eye can see or
| the mind OF can conceive. 1t is indeed
| and in truth a congress Of nations
a collection of everything that is OF
note since the time civilization began
from the finest collection Of grass
hoppers and the smallest locomotive
in the world-a perfect machine with
all of it's attachments that could
stand on a silver quarter and have
room to spare-to the greatest and
grandest creation of mans skill and
genius.
| was greatly disappointed in the
art exhibit. But as | am not an art
critic | may not be competent to
Judge. The art building was the
first place [ visited and l must say
it did not appeal to me as | expected
it would A good deal of it is vulgar
sccording to any way of thinking.
But if it was intended to be a true
copy why then it was all right, for
they were true to nature in every de
, tail. l did not go through the en-
tire exhibit. 1t might have been bet
ter but I got Disguised and quit.
The finest exhibit ! have seen to
day is that of Japan. Its collection
