The ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 3-One Of the
questions asked by prospective visitors to
the big fair Is, How long win it take to
see it,"
Not less than six days, and as much
longer as you care to put in at it. The
six.day visitor can see things on the run.
He VIII have little time to spare, and If he
wastes any he viii leave much unseen.
Few people realize the immense size OF
the exposition proper, until they reach the
grounds. Then il appalls them, it is so g.
gantic.
The enclosure includes 1910 acres, larger
than the largest farm. except in the Far
West. II is twice the size of the Chicago
fair, four times that Of Paris and Buffalo
and i've times larger than the Centennial
There are six square miles in this 1910
acres, and some Of the buildings are three
quarters of a mile long It's nearly half a
days walk from the administration build
ing TO the main entrance The grounds
are in beautiful Forest park, two miles
west Of the center OF the city.
What is called the main picture of the
exposition is in the northeastern portion of
the grounds. Festival hall. Cascade gar
dens and the Colonnade of States are the
key TO this picture. The great exhibit pal
aces are assembled along the radiating av-
enues laid out in the form Of an open fan.
AT the southeast corner Of the grounds
stand the government building, filled
with the government display of war, navy
and everything usually seen in this build
ing. II Is upon an elevation-this is one Of
the pretty features Of the exposition One
sees the entire picture rising in terraces he
fore one, on entering the grounds.
Next to the government building are the
palaces Of liberal arts and mines and metal
lurey. Then comes the Plaza Orleans and
the palaces OF manufactures and education
The broad boulevard that divides the main
group into two parts is called the Plaza St
Louis. in the center of which is the beauti-
fu Louisiana Purchase monument.
Festival hall rises above the Cascades
and the Colonnade of States swings around

phin, which arrived yesterday morning.
No freight interior bound is moving
beyond White Horse. At that point there
Is already a large accumulation awaiting
shipment down the river, a. soon as the ice
goes out.
White Horse also has material increase
in population, through the assembling of
operators and others bound for Klondike,
Tanana and down river districts. They are
awaiting the resumption OF steamer navi-
cation.
The first vessels up the river from Klon-
dixie will bring large crowds of passengers.
AT Skagway and White Horse there is
much speculation as to the opening of
the river. Many predict an early break
up, while some OF the pioneer Yukoners
say the river will not clear of ice until
well towards the end of the month

Double Train Service Between Bel
zoni and Yazoo City.

On Tuesday last double daily train
service was established on the Bel
zoni branch of the Yazoo Delta Rail
way between Yazoo City and Clarks-
dale. Speaking of this additional pas
senior train the Yazoo City News
says: 1T is with great pleasure that
the News announces to its readers
that we are to have a double train
service on the Belzoni Branch. We
have always believed that the Hi
nois Central management would
treat our city fairly, and they were
interested in building it up. We
were satisfied that the present sched-
ule was only temporary, and that as
soon as they got the Belzoni road in
good working order they would give
us the double daily service. Hurrah
fob the railroad. "-Yazoo News.

My Boy, Don't Prevaricate.

Absalom, my boy, be careful of an
enlargement of your preventative
powers. They may lead you into
politics and become your everlast-
ing destruction. Recollect, my boy,
you never feel safe in the presence
of a liar. You can't tell, to save
your life, what is passing through
the things head. You can't tell what
malicious skeleton of fancy ismop-
ing around in his mental censorium
turning out rubbish out of which to
formulate some diabolical SANDER, or
to create an influence that will cause
your down fall. Little demons are
playing with their brains mighty
near half the time, and the scram-
bling is great. Therefore, my boy,
we would urge you not only to keep
your own tongue free from pre-
varication, but would urge you to
avoid the liar. When he lies to you
about others, he will lie to others
about you, and you will be the vic
tim sooner or later. Now, don't get
it in your head that all men are liars,
for that would be a false presumption,
and might lead you into that old
doctrine that you will be forced to
fight the devil with fire." All men
are not liars, Absalom, and be care
full how you assert such thing. A
presumptive assumption is a very ia
tai thing sometimes. But few BUSH
ness men care to employ boy who
is dominated by such an idea. They
are afraid of such boys, and justly
