The Worlds Fair.

DeGrow, the eastern press re-
preventative of the ST. Louis Fair,
writes as follows:
"The Worlds Fair is a reality.
The years of intelligent planning
and unremitting effort have been
rewarded. The accomplished thing
is immeasurably superior and more
glorious than the most vivid mag
ination can picture. The world
has never produced anything to
compare with it. The Exposition
is so large that as yet no man will
say he has seen it all. When the
visitor enters the main gate and
sees the great Exposition in full
swing, the feeling that he was pre-
pared for such glories is dissipat.

A travelling man recently had most
peculiar experience In a Western town.
He describes it In the Milwaukee Sen
t1nel. AS he alighted from the train
he saw d street-car with a mule attach
ment standing near by, and rs it APP
peared to be the only conveyance to
take him to the business district he
boarded the car and took a seat. Then
n man in blue jeans and straw hat of
ancient aspect poked his head in at the
door and inquired:
want to go uptown, strangers!
"That is just what l want replied
the traveller.
"Well, take the whip and hit the old
mule crack and you'll get there all
right. The track ends right in the cen
ter of the business part, and the
critter'll stop when he comes to the end
Of the line
Don't they have any drivers on this
line?"
Nope. That is to say, they don't al
ways have driver when he gets sick. y
How do they get their money out
of IT."
"Most folks is honest enough to drop
nickel in the box. Them as amt gets
their ride for nothing
The passenger dropped a nickel In

the whip. and arrived in the business
district of the city in due time.

Romance and Tragedy Arc Ever at

Romance and Tragedy Arc Ever at
Hand to Please or Pain.
Eight years ago pretty Miss Laura
Hensen left her home in Brooklyn and
went west to teach school. There she
met John Fl. Eglinton. of Chicago and
heart spake unto heart Part of the
wedding arrangements had been com.
pleted when some simple question
arose, words followed in heated dis
cussion and in a fit Of desperation the
unhappy lover enlisted In the marines
and was sent to the Philippines.
Eglinton made few friends among
his comrades. for his mind was ever on
his far away sweetheart though he
was too proud to write At last one of
his few friends, who had discovered
the cause of his morose and unsocial
ways, wrote to the girl, taking the
chance of the vaguely addressed letters
reaching the right person. In due time
Eglinton received letter. He sobered
up, answered it, and thereafter let wine
drinking alone, for every mail brought
him a letter from the pretty school
teacher. Eglinton was now heard
hummlng bits of old love songs and
whistling lively airs.
Then there came change He no
longer whistled or sang and his face
wore a look of anxiety. One sultry af-
ternoon black-bordged letter was
delivered Mt barracks addressed to
him. 1t never reached him, for
friendly marine, in his rough way of
doing a kindness, stole it. AS gently as
possible they told Eglinton that his
sweetheart had died of consumption in
her Brooklyn home.
Eglinton took again to wine drink
ing. Every one tried to befriend the
stricken man. One morning his name
was called in vain. He was entered on
the roll book as dcserter. The ma
rines, however, say he went insane be-
cause of his great sorrow and is still
to be seen among the natives, living
as one of them, his mind a blank as
regards the bitter past.

They Should Take Time for Enjoy.
ment and Recreation.
A mother and wife should not for
get that she owes some duty to herself.
In the stress of family life, in the cares
of bringing up children, many women
do forget this. They fancy that they
must shield the poor, Woodworking,
bread-earninS husbands from all the
troubles and annoyanceS of the home.
For him there should be slippers at the
fire and a cushion on the chair.
And the children? OF course, they
must be clothed Just as well as the
neighbors' youngsters, even though the
mother goes without new winter
coat. And the daughter must go to
as many dances in the week as she
likes, else where will be her place in
the young society? And so the mother
stays at home to wash the dishes and
mend the stockings. 1t Is all very fine
for the husbands and the children; and
the mother, bless her! enjoys it. But
isn't she little unfair to herself, and
isn't It her own fault? She takes it for
granted that she should sacrifice her
self, and the others take it for granted,
too
But everybody has some right to a
certain amount of living for his own
ends. Everybody has a right to a slice
Of his own life to spend as he or she
chooses. And the mother should take
it. Not only she herself, but the whole
family, would be bettered If they were
not allowed forever and eternally to
lean ON the mother. 1t is not because
they are closehearted that they do it,;
It is because they do not think and in
the mothers love she does not think,
either, but cheerfully gives herself
when 1t would be better to require Il
little of the others.-Woman's Home

give Pretty Much Made Up My Mind
to Get Married.
Susan and Mrs. Lathrop were great
friends, although there was some eight
or ten years difference in their ages
Susan was 40, but Mrs Lathrop had
MANUFACTURING and this fact caused her
to feel ever youthful, and thus to be
companionable to her girl friend over
the fence. Then, too, ever since the
death of Mrs. Clegg, some twelve years
before. Mrs. Lathrop's advice had been
Indispensable to the others ignorance

smile lust here and consider that at
30 Miss Clegg should not have needed
much motherly counsel; but until one
has really arrived at the age Of so it
is impossible to convince one how real
w immature said age is, and can per-
sonally vouch for the fact that
mother is just as handy to have about
then as she is at any earlier period.
Mrs. Lathrop had always had good
deal of time to devote to her friends
affairs, because her family consisted
of but one son, and she was not given
to that species Of housekeeping which
sweeps under the beds too often. Miss
Clegg had somewhat less time, because
her father (wavering between 20 and
800 was bedridden paralytic, and had
been so for over twenty years. TIE
was of necessity a great care, and she
did her duty by him both vigorously
and conscientiously; but the years in
bed had led her to confound the bed
with the father and to refer to them
both as one united factor in her domes-
tic economy. Friday morning she al
ways tore herself away from the fence
with the remark, "Well, must be get
tin buck to beat father up an put him
on his clean Sheets" and such phrases
as "Tye got father into new pillow
Slips" or Next spring l mean to have
fathers hair picked over an get him
new tick" were ever rife on her lips.
She was generally very cheerful and
quite resigned to her lot, but occasion
ally she had q spell of feeling that the
world had more to offer than she was
getting.
