To mention the big things of the
Worlds Fair of 1904 would be to give
a catalogue of the greatest achieve
ments of man in many lines of en-.
deavor. For example: We shall see
the largest locomotive ever built,
weighing ninety-fve tons and having
twelve driving wheels. We shall hear
the largest organ in the world in the
most beautiful festival hall ever built.
We shall see some of the greatest sea-
coast defense guns manufactured for
the United States government. In the
Government Building, which is the
largest exhibit building ever erected
by federal authority at an Exposition,
there will be a model of a half of
battleship for the Navy display. The
United States Government has also
erected bird cage so large that tall
trees grow within the Enclosure, in
which will be held captive during the

HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND.
Amusing Error Of Frenchman That
Cost Him SIS.

A French visitor to New York, an
enthusiastic automobilist, has learned
a lesson as to how things are done
in America. On several occasions
when speeding machine through
Central park he has seen policemen
hold up a hand The result was an
increase of speed and wave of the
hand in return. The police have been
in the hopes of catching him, and
finally one of them did so by placing
his horse in the autos track, compell-
ing 1t to come to a standstill. In court
the Frenchman was amazed at the
cause of his arrest. He took the sig
mails of the officers as commentators
and congratulations ind turned on
more power to show them what he
could do. The lesson cost him So.

Brain Growth.

Brain development is found by Prof
Seggei of Munich to have two periods
of acceleration-from 10 to II and
from II to Is in girls, and from II to
13 and 10 to 20 in boys, At the period
of most rapid increase in height--from
u to ii years-the growth of the
brain is less than one.hundredth that
of the body, but at II to 10 it grows
one.thirtieth as fast, and at 20 reaches
one.seventh of the body growth.

This was the meeting he had an
ticipated so long. The presence of
others brought out in him irresistibly
the repression of public display which
was so strong an element Of his ca
reer.
A little chilled, Helen turned to in
troduce him to her friends He took
a place on the steps and sat without
saying w0rd all the evening. There
was nothing for him to say. These
young people talked thoughtlessly, as
young people do, of the affairs belong
ing to their own little circle. He had
thought pine and forest and the trail
so long that he found these square ell
bowed subjects refusing to be jostled
aside by any trivialities.
He took Helen back to Mrs. Rem
wick's about 10 O'Clock. They walked
slowly beneath the broad leaved ma
Piles, whose shadows danced under the
tall electric lights, and talked.
How have you done, Harry?" she
inquired anxiously. Your letters have
been so vague"

Her heart contracted suddenly. 1t
was all she could do to keep from
bursting into tears The indefniteness
of his answer exasperated her and fill
ed her with sullen despair. She said
nothing for twenty steps. Then:
Harry" she said quietly, "can you
take me away from Mrs. Renwick's?"
Il don't know, Helen. can't tell
yet. Not just now, at any rate"
Harry" she cried, ''you don't know

also that the struggle in the courts
might need every cent the new COM

better were he to wait until after the
verdict. liz favorable there would be no
difficulty about sparing the money. If
adverse, there would be no money to
spare. And so until the thing was abb
solutely certain he hesitated to explain
the situation to Helen for fear Of dis
appointing her.

At the mouth of the river bo0ms Of

drive was fioated and stopped. Then a
raft was formed by passing new ma
Mia ropes, over the. logs, to each one
of which the line was fastened by a
hardwood forked pin driven astride of
it. A tug dragged the raft to Mar
quette.
Now Thorpe was summoned legally
on two. counts. First. Judge Sherman
cited him for contempt Of court; Sec

drive for holding open the dam sluice

bitterness of their parting. Now he
found himself SO impatient that he
could hardly wait to get there.
He learned on his arrival that she
was not at home. Mrs Renwick proved
not nearly so cordial as the year be-
fore. but Thorpe, absorbed in his ca
gerness, did not. notice it, Mrs. Rem
wick thought Helen had gone over tc
the Hugheses.
Thorpe found the Hughes residence
without difficulty and turned up the
straight walk to the veranda. On the
steps of the latter a rug had been
spread. A dozen youths and maidens
lounged on its soft surface. Thorpe,
as he approached the light from tall
lamp just inside the hall, hesitated,
vainly trying to make out the figures
before him.
So it was that Helen Thorpe saw
him first and came futtering to meet
him.
"Oh, Harry! What a surprisem she
cried, and flung her arms about his
neck to kiss him.
How do you do, Helen2' he replied
sedately.

hurrying from church or visit to
some Of his friends. He looks like a
man walking for wager, but there is
no mistaking the identity of that ath-
letic figure, eyeglasses and glowing face.
The other Sunday Mr. Roosevelt was
walking rapidly home from church and
as he crossed Lafayette square and
swung INTO the white house grounds a
stranger, evidently country man,
gazed at him in open-mouthed wonder.
The visitor, poking his face between
the iron ratings of the fence that sur.
rounds the white house grounds, shout
ed with lusty tones: "Well, Teddy, If
you can run as well as you can walk,
Parker will not be in 1t for q minute, !"
The president turned around with a
broad smile on his face, bowed his &C.
acknowledgement and continued up the
walk to the mansion, his shoulders
shaking with merriment at the remark.
It delights the president to test the
endurance Of the secret service men
who are ordered to follow him when
he goes out for walk and they have to
frequently break into dogtret to keep
within their distance of the chief ex.
ecutiye. It was long time before
Mr.. Roosevelt could accustom himself
to the guardianship of these secret DO
lice and he only yielded to it at the
earnest solicitation Of his wife and
friends.
