Inside Inn Advantages.

There is one large hotel on the
grounds of the Worlds Fair at st.
Louis called "The Inside Inn" 1t
has a capacity of accommodating with
comfort and safety, 5000 guests. 1t
is located near the southeastern cor
ner of the grounds and convenient to
two of the entrances. In its immed-
late vicinity are many of the beautl-
full buildings erected by the states
and territories.
The Inside Inn is uncovered In
natural forest trees. 1t is in fact
bit-a big bit-of suburban enterprise
set in the edge of great city. From
the doors and windows of the INSIDE
Inn one is not compelled to look upon
sun-baked stone streets, swelterlng
alleys and dead walls. On the con-
trary, the guest has an outlook upon
primeval forest in which appear
here and there the inviting outlines
Of new houses built without qualms
as to cost and embellished in all the
artistic adornments that architecture
can supply. Looking farther, the
guest may behold the graceful towers
and the stately domes OF the most
wonderful city on earth-the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition.
In short, the guest at the Inside
Inn will be practically summer re-
sorter. away from the din and clamor
and dust and heat of the busy city,
and vet near enough to the Worio
Eair glories to behold some OF them
from his window and to reach any oil
them in a few minutes. If per
chance he shall become a-weary OF the
wonderous wealth of things to see ano
hear. for the time being, he may hit
himself back to the Inside Inn, wner'
in his own apartments or in the COZ,
lounging rooms or parlors of the lnr
he NAV enjoy a delightful rest, nj
ting him for return to the heart o
} the Worlds Fair, refreshed and re
yived. ~
The guests at the Inside Inn VII
be the only visitors who can see Tn
worlds Fair from their own iron
door. SO to speak for at the Inn the
viii be at home, and while yiewinI

will have the satisfaction OF Known
that a short walk or brief ride o.

JOAQUIN MiIler's Yarn,

Capt John Healy, the millionaire
mining and railroad promoter Of Alas
ka, tells the following on joaquin
Miller, the Poet of the Sierras;"
Miller had been in Alaska for some
time when he concluded to come down
into civilization again and make some
money lecturing. One afternoon I
met him in one of the big cities, and
after exchanging frontier gree Jugs
the poet said Captain, you must
bring your daughters to hear my leg
ture on Alaska
81 promised, and when we reached
the theatre we found box awaiting
Us. Well, joaquin came on, long hair,
lJlg beard high boots, flannel shirt,
true Western stlye. OF course he got
big hand on his appearance alone.
Then he started in to portray Alaska
as only poet could. He held his is
teners SpellbOuld as he descr lel the
progress and future of the great
northwest. Finally to vary his then,e,
joaquin started to tell some pretty
good mining stories, but &c rea he'd q
thrilling climax with the following:
lone night | was invited to a
dance in miners cabin, and while
Bill Dalton scraped away on his fd.
die we just hoed it down. But the
miners tramped in and out SO much
between dances that before midnight
1a hn
slippery they couldn't dance another
step unless something was done.
Then, continued joaquin, aft n an
eloquent pause, something was dono
that never was possible in mining
days in California. Each miner gal
lantly opened his buckskin powder
pouch and sprinkled gold dust on the
floor. And this WAS repeated through
out The night
joaquin certainly had the audience
or he would never have dared to con-
tinue as he did:
And in the morning, ladies and
gentlemen, those miners never trou-
bled themselves about sweeping Up
that gold dust. They just htcnel up
their dog sleds and rode away
There was a slight agitation in tho
audience, which Joaquin must have
recognized as ominous of incredulity,
but he was equal to 1t. With wave
of his hand toward my box he said:
And my old friend up there in the
box, Capt. Healy from Alaska, will
substantiate what | say
1T was a master stroke of the poet,
for Che house burst into applause, and
joaquin Miller bowed himself of. -

Is that, the submerged section of n

The Balloon Plant.

One of tie curious devices Of nature
for scattering seeds is seen in the bal
loon plant of California. The fruit
is yellow and is a little larger than an
egg. 1t has the appearance Of an emp
ty bag, but it contains watery sub
stance, which evaporates or dries up
when the fruit natures, n sort of gas
taking its place This gas is lighter
than air, and the fruit flips back and
forth in the wind until it finally breaks
loose from its slender stem, rises into
the air to height of from seventy-fve
to a hundred feet, and sails away to
fall in some distant spot and thus eX-
tend the growth of its kind.

Kilkenny Cats,

During the rebellion which occurred
in Ireland in 1T0S. or II may be in
1903. Kilkenny was garrisoned by a
troop of Hessian soldiers who anus
ed themselves in barracks by tying
two cats together by their tails and
throwing them across n clothesline TO
fight. The officer, hearing of the cruel
practice, resolved to stop it. AS he
entered the room one of the troopers,
scizing sword. cut the tails in two
as the animals hung across the line.
The two cats escaped, minus their tails
through the open window, and when
the officer inquired the meaning of the
two bleeding tails being left in the
room he was coolly told that two cats
had been fighting and had devoured
each other. all but the tails.
