other sculpture, most. of it of perma-
nent character.
An illustration of the way In which
sculpture is used in the decoration OF
the palaces of the Exposition is the
work, of Augustus Lukeman for the
Electricity building. Mr.. Lukeman
has executed for this building four
seated figures, %portraying Heat, Power,
Speed and Light. They are placed on
the main facade Of the building, and
each figure typifies in a poetic manner
the idea to be presented. Light, for
INSTANCE, is A female figure holding In
her hands the carbon wire typical of
the electric spark. Speed is repre-
sented by the god Mercury wearing
the traditional horned cap and hold
ing in one hand a winged wheel, the
treatment s%ymbolizing the telegraph
and telephone as among most notable
examples of the speed of electricity.
Again, take the sculpture of the Edu-
cation building, which is the work of
a st. Louis artist, Robert P. Bring
hurst, On the Palace of Education
there are twelve separate models. OF
each Of these models from four to four
teen replicas are used, SO that the
sculptural decoration of the building
is composed Of "a separate pieces.
Notable among these are Music, His
tory, Golden Rod, The Flight of Time.
Industry, The Thread Of Fate and the
Louisiana Quadriga. The latter COM
position is a striking one. A two
wheeled Roman chariot is drawn by
four powerful, prancing horses har-
messed abreast. They have the short
cropped name Of the Roman steed,
The center horses are thrown back on
their launches and two female figures
guide and restrain the outer horses
by grasping their brides. In her free
hand the figure at the left carries an
olive branch, that at the right a palm
branch, these being symbolical respec-
lively Of Peace and Victory. The CEN
ter figure in the chariot is a symbolical
conception OF the Louisiana territory.
It is a w~ell-draped, erect female fig
ure holding in her appraised right hand
an American flag that drops in light
folds about her, and in her appraised
left hand a blazing torch symbolical Of

Nearly 100 American sculptors were

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
is p%rofusely adorned with statuary.
The historic character of the EXPOSE
ton affords opportunity for use in the
avenues and courts, and at the entrance
of buildings, of portraying statues and
other figures and groups having his
toric significance in connection with
the Louisiana Purchase.
Besides this there is also ar album
dance of purely decorative sculpture,
that is sculpture which is architectural
and monumental, intended to express
various poetic ideas and afford beauti-
full and inspiring effects. Much Of the
latter class of sculpture is used in the
adornment of the central architectural
feature of the Exposition-the Festival
Hall, Colonnade of States and Cascade
Gardens. The statuary for the Col
onnade of States, however, has his
toric significance in that the various
figures typify the IA states and terri
tories formed out Of the original
Louisiana territory. The Exposition
palaces are adorned with quadrigas,
spandrels, pediment figures, car
touches and other architectural sculp-
ture, and some of the buildings have
appropriate figures at the entrance,
such as the Missouri building, where
on either side of the main entrance are
seated figures of Napoleon and Jeffer-
son, and the Art Palace, where at the

TO BACHELORS

There are some hundreds of
thousands more men than women
in the Central and Western
States of America and in Canada.
AS a result thousands of trust
worthy men-Farmers, Miners
and others-living in certain dis
tricts there cannot possibly get
wivesin their own neighborhoods.
But in England, Scotland, Ire
land and Wales there are a mill
ion more women than men and,
in these Countries, thousands OF
good, intelligent and attractive
girls-many of them daughters
of farmers and all of them quail
fed to make excellent wives-see
nothing before them while they
stay here but thetprospect of liv-
ing and dying as old maids and
this, to them, is a decidedly I'M
pleasant prospect. They would
willingly emigrate to America,
could they be assured that they
were going to meet worthy men
there as husbands, and that they
could look forward to happy, if
humble, homes on the other side
of the Atlantic.
We may say that all of them
could afford to emigrate at their
own expense.
We are prepared to give good
men introductions to these girls.
If you wish to get an introduc-
ton please write us with snch
particulars of yourself (age, ma
tionality, occupation and circum-
stances) as a sensible girl would
expect to get and we shall write
you in reply, with a view to
bringing about a suitable intro
duction without undue delay.
Tell us what kind Of a wife,
(age, nationality, appearance and
Disposition you wish to get.
If you have preference for any
particular Christian Sect please
name it. s.
You will also enclose our Fee
of 5 Dollars. A further Fee of
As Dollars will be due to us with
in one month after marriage,
thus making so Dollars altogeth-
er. We do not confine ourselves
to one introduction. We give as
many as will be necessary until
marriage. But we make no
charge for any introduction after
the payment of our said Fee of 5
Dollars for the first.
It is not at all necessary that
you should be a wealthy man.
But it is necessary that you
be a man who would make a kind
and good husband to a good wife.
If you are not such a man
please do not write us.
