PERT AND PERSONAL.

Edward Gould is director in 40 COR
porations.
Three or four members of the federal
house of representatives are fond OF
munching the old-fashioned stick candy
so popular among small children. Con
gresham Grosyenor, of Ohio, keeps a
box OF these dainties in corner of his
desk, getting his supplies from Col.
French, the file clerk.
Recorder Golf, of New York, is telling
of wordy battle between two neWsboys
TO which he was an interested listener
in the city hall park the other day. "Ah,
gwan; amt in your class at all, at all, -
said one little fellow, impressively. Il
needn't sell papers for Twin. Why,
me fader is a milkmanW 'Iknow he is"
retorted the other "An' the milk he
sells is SO watery that if you spilled ii
on black dog it wouldn't change his
color!"
Curious reunions of old-time friends
and acquaintances of frequent occur
renee at Washington. The latest pub
lished instance is that Of Senator Pat
terson, of Colorado, and Representative
Humphrey, of Washington state, who
were formerly fellow toWnsmen in Craw-
louisville, Ind. Mr. Humphrey was only
a small boy however, when Mr.. Pat
terson, II years his senior, departed from
that college town to earn fame and for
tune in the further west.
DR.. Abbott, of the English department
at Columbia college, recently remarked
that chronological conference in ideas
is much to be desired, but there are times
when lack of it becomes too suggestive.
For instance" he added, Il once heard a
minister make his usual Sunday morn
ing announcements as follows: The fun
eral of the late and much lamented sex
ton takes place on Wednesday afternoon
at three o'clock. Thanksgiving services
will be held in this chapel on Thursday
morning at H."
A unique reunion of ex-secretaries Of
war was observed in a corner of the SEN
ate chamber in Washington one after
noon recently. Senator Alger, Senator
Proctor and Senator Elkins held long
confab, and were in the middle of their
talk when Secretary Taft, the huge
Ohioan, who now holds down the war
fscretary's war chair, came in and joined
the group Senator Proctor is tall and
rather heavy set among ordinary men,
but Secretary Taft, by tiptOeing slightly,

that one may practice for several years
to see the Worlds Fair of 1904 at St
Louis Money saved, earned or bor-
rowed cannot be better spent than in
getting acquainted with the worlds
progress as revealed at this latest and
greatest of expositions. All of us can
not travel around the world to take
note of what the nations are doing,
but the nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
their best works to st. Louis to be
placed on display.
Therefore. by all means or any
means, see the Worlds Fair 1t means
everything to your future growth of
mind, to your present pleasure and life
long satisfaction. Who that saw the
Centennial exposition Or the Column
bian exposition that does not revert to
it with recollections Of keen pleasure?
Within the two square miles of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at ST.
Louis there is more to be seen than
ever was brought together in ten times
the space before. 1t is great collec-
ton of expositions massed into one. 1t
is nearly twice as large as the Colum-
bian exposition at Chicago, nearly ten
times larger than the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Every exhibit
palace offers the equivalent of splen-
did exposition, each covering many
acres of space.
The largest of these Is the Palace of
Agriculture, with it's % acres under
roof and filled to the doors with the
most wonderful agricultural collection
ever assembled upon any occasion.
The important states and nations of

display of ordnance is not the least in

The Palace of Art at the Worlds Fair
contains 135 galleries Each gallery
is large room, lighted from above
and filled with the choicest works.
All countries of the world in which art
has made noteworthy progress are rep
resented. The group of buildings
which house this magnificent display
represents an expenditure of more than
$1,000 900. The group is situated upon
high ground south of Festival hall.
The Festival hall is the center piece of
a rich architectural work browning the
hill which rises above the Grand Basin
and upon whose slopes are the Cascades
and gardens. Here another million
dollars has been expended to produce
decoration that will distinguish this
exposition from all Others

Economy In Threshing.

The fact that there is more grain put into
the straw stack than there should be, is
something that merits the earnest attention
of the up to-date farmer.
Is it not possible to save the wastage of
grain and time which attends the use of old
style machinery2 This is something that
should command the careful consideration
of every farmer.
In line with the thought we call attention
to the ad. of Nichols 81 Shepard Company

when this great channel of wastage on the
farm should be eliminated.

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of

and by some means every one has touch
of them in some form at some time.

risk is that they will grow to something
greater; and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there.

VACATIONS.

Russell Sage has affirmed vehemently that
employees who ask for vacations are not sutfi-
ciently considerable Of the interests of their en-
ployers. He would do away with vacations
Of any and ali sorts entirely, although he does
not go so far as to assert that the vacation
habit among his clerks has driven him as yet
TO the direst depths Of poverty.
Mr.. Sage by his unexpected deliverance on
the subject Of rest from toll has gained place
in the front rank of men who will be written
about and talked about for many q week Ger
tainly he has the courage Of his convictions;
and he always had. He never feared unpopu-
larity and he never dreaded criticism. lie has
always been a hard worker and never hest
tated to express his opinion freely. Neverthe-
less, it can hardly be doubted that centuries
after Mr.. Sage has gone to his rest the vacation
custom win still be honored in the observance
rather than in the breach.
In his time Mr.. Sage has played many parts
in the ownership Of shares in dividend paying
railroad and steamship corporations. Suppose
vacations were abolished, as Mr.. Sage appar-
entity desires they should be, how many trans
portation companies on water or land would
find their passenger business profitable in the
summer months? 1t is singular that so shrewd
a capitalist as Mr.. Sage should forget to con-
slider that branch of his subject.

WALKING.
points.

THE best simplest universal exercise is that
of walking writes Mr.. Frederic Harrison in
1.-THE London News" Mr.. Harrison goes on to
say that he can walk with enjoyment for hours
along fiat country, or even in the parks ana
On the embellishments of London but he attrib-
utes his health and activity in his seventy-thlrd
year to the steady pursuit of climbing hills,
mountains glaciers and moors. He has done
nearly all the we'll known peaks, passes and
glaciers of the Alps, from Nice to the IyrOl
He has explored the Pyrenees, the Apennlnes
and the mountains of Greece and Sicily, ana ne
knows the hills and plains Of Great Britain Ike
a book He has also played many games from
boyhood up, but has found them all far inferior
to walking. Indeed, in his opinion, IAN Alpine
'glacier-eyen British cragside-is worth all
''the stupid forms Of sport put together
Mr. Harrisons testimony is not without In
terest but it should not be taken for more than
it is worth. Moreover, its interest lies chiefly
in the suggestions which it conveys adverse TO
what we may suppose to have been his purpose
Physicians are far from being universally
agreed that walking suits almost everybody, Dut
let us concede that 1t is a wholesome exercise
except, perhaps, to the not inconsiderable num-
Der Of persons who regard 1t with aversion
The trouble is that a vast majority of those for
whom Mr.. Harrison writes cannot so regulate
their lives as to be able to do much walking
under agreeable and sanitary conditions. 1t is
exceedingly doubtful If anybody is benefited by
walking for q half hour or so through the
microbes suspended above city sidewalk Mr.
Harrison has been peculiarly fortunate 1t may
well make a differently situated sigh TO
think of the opportunities which he has en-
joyed-how he has made STEADY pursuit of
climbing hills, mountains, glaciers and moors,'
constantly worked all round the Alps and
formed an intimate acquaintance with the
Apennlnes and PyreneeS. Having such chances,
with such a constitution and temperament, he
has been wise to improve them, and it is not at
all wonderful that he is healthy and active at
the age Of seventy-three.
Nor when we consider how much time Mr.
Harrison has expended in the qualification of a
propensity and the development OF a physical
aptitude, does 1t seem strange that he should
think Alpine glacier, or even British crag
side, worth all the stupid" forms of sport put
together; but we hope that nobody who has
been in the habit Of clearing the cobwebs out
Of his mind and the kinks out of his muscles by
putting in a few minutes at tennis or rackets
when he has had the chance will begin to sus
poet that those games are stupid because Mr.
Harrison calls them So or embrace the deluslon
that he spend the same amount of time TO
better advantage in walking about town. 1t
would be rash TO say
little walking is dangerous thing.
Walk far or shun the Harrisonian spring
But some of the deductions which Mr.. Harri
sons readers are invited to make are mani
festly unsafe and ought TO be avoided
