merry, who constitute the paying
side"
There Is one continual round Of So
cial functions going on at the worlds
fair grounds.
THE INNER CIRCLE.
The inne. circle numbers nearly 800
people, with their families. They are
the fair officials, directors chiefs OF
departments, superintendent Of diyl-
sions, the foreign, national, and state
commissioners, and board OF lady man
ayers. In addition distinguished peo-
pie, who happen to be IN the city and
personal friends Of those giving the
entertainments.
1t is not unreasonable that there Is
a universal objection to exclusive func-
lions being given in buildings, which
IL was supposed, were erected for pub
lie use.
People come here thinking that, even
II seeing the fair IL expensive, that
everyone Inside the grounds win have
the same chance, If they are willing
TO pay the price,
Every time one OF the hundreds of
exhibitions are installed invitations are
sent out, Jefferson guards are station
ed around and the common herd are
ing held. Not a day but reception
can be run across to interfere with
systematic sight seeing
ABOUT THE STATE BUILDINGS,
The receptions given in the state
buildings cause the greatest inconVenl-
epCe The taxpayers OF the states
thought they We're erecting their build
Igs IN order that they could have a
resting place that would open It's doors
To them at any time when they were
weary and footsore. from sight seeing,
and where they could feel at home. II
was not generally understood that they
were intended as private houses for the
use Of certain people In entertaining.
Many horny handed son OF the soil

imposing structure that bears the name
of his dearly beloved state over the
front door, proudly saying, I'VE Will

You know Mrs So and So is hostess
and they said she would make every
body welcome and feel at home
They are met at the front door by
Jefferson guard, who says curly;

live In that state. We want TO come
in, and rest, and see our own building

SOME MARVELLOUS ILLUSIONS,
There are some OF the most wonderful
exhibitions and Illusions on the PIKE,
which mentality and money can pro-
duce. There are also some OF the most
AFFECT fakes that were ever palmd OH
on n longsuffering public.
To distinguish between them. Inn
possible until the price of admission
has been paid There is a sort OF word

peryades the Pike, that makes II safe

crowds that actually enter
There is great deal OF dlssatisfac-
ton over the social tendency OF this

fair life, those who are In the inner
circle and who are invited and admitted

the pass side and those who pay
their way, and for the privilege Of

MR. AND MRS. BUTT-IN.
The ST. Louis papers are waxing To-.

are devoted TO the subject, They are
described as the new specie, the unique
product Of the worlds fair an evil

There can be no such thing as but-Ins
at the fair that is for the whole world,
but there can be. and unfortunately are,
altogether too many butt-outs.

AROUND THE CLOSED DOOR
Humanity IS so apt to overlook the
hundreds OF things they can see and
Fatima like, hang around the closed
door.
In the maelstrom Of exclusiyencss
that threatens 10 wreck the real object
of the exposition the personality Of one
woman stands out like a saving light.
The writer has not met this woman, nor
even seen her, 10 know her. II must be
remembered that the worlds fair Is a
city, peopled by thousands and thou
sands,
She is Mrs. o. T. Holt, Of Houston,
Texas, hostess Of the Texas building,
who has taken a decided stand on
worlds fair exclusiyeness. Mrs Holt

leader in breaking up n pernicous GUS

A reception was given at the Texas
, building In honor OF certain officials.

would be stationed around the doors
and those dreadful "Butt-lns' kept out.
Mrs. Holt saw IN a morning daily that
no one would be admitted without
cards. She FASTENED to declare herself
on the subject

tended to keep people away from the
fair.
one Of the peculiar demonstrations
Of the fair IL the stronghold that Dixie
has gained on the American public as
national afr.
There are so many national airs, and
Of such diversified character. that none
can be accepted as The Air. Where
one expresses dignity, another eXulta-
ton and one JOY patriotism Is the mo-
az for another and reckless abandon
is the sole appeal OF the rolliClng NTH
Tho public appears TO find in the at
traCtlyc strains Of Dixie the embodi-
mcnt OF all of these qualities IN man
ner that appeals directly to the heart.
The tune has long since lost its local
Significance. Few know, or care, as
10 the words that once accompanied Il.
The worlds fair public seems TO find
In its pure musical sentiments the quail
tiles that appeal 10 patriotism,
THE NATIONAL AIRS.
The national airs are all played con-
tinually on the grounds and never fall
90 meet with the heartiest response and
appreciation, but when Dixie IL played
the grounds fairly resound with the
widest enthusiasm.
II has become apparent that this is
not due 20 any partisan feeling. but Is
n natural tribute to the Characteristic
musical qualities Of the tune that make
II singularly appropriate for a national
air.
II Is doubtful II another exposition
viii ever be built on so spreading
a scale as this one The distances are
enormous. Miles and miles have to be
walkd IN a days sightseeing.
The landscape gardening IS beautiful
beyond description, The laRoons, with
their curved bridges, are the perfec-
ton Of art but the long spaces between
bridges and the winding walks that
double and treble the distances be-
tween given points, while a feast for
the eyes are terror to the feet.
The magnificent stalrways add much
60 the picture, but are very fatigueing.
The wheeled chair, at fifty cents an
hour, is the only escape. The Intram-
ural railway, that promised so much in
the way Of transportation has been
proven a deluson. The track only CIR
cles the outside Of the grounds, FAR from
the central buildings. The stations are
so far apart, and so inconveniently To-
Gated, that Il Is usually quicker and less
distance TO walk to the desired point
than to find a station, and walk from
the allghting station 10 where the visit
or wishes to go.
Worlds Fair feet have become
common complaint, the feet swelling
until the shoes cannot be borne, Shoes
that seem loose and comfortable at
home become instruments Of torture af-
ter a few days at the fair
This exposition is a great and glorl-
Gus affair, but to walk in the neigh
borhood of ten miles a day, with your
head turned I'm every direction at once,
and your eyes popping out OF their SOCK
cts, while your mouth seems to think
n II produces sufficient cavity. II can
take IN what your eyes and ears and
tangled brain have missed, ia no easy
job.
The only thing 20 do at this fair Il
TO allow plenty Of time and money to
see 1t properly The time and money
| will never be regretted.

Search for Oil or Gas.
A movement to sink prospect wells
for oil and gas has just been started in
Barton county. In fact most of the
counties over Kansas are taking active
steps In this direction. Ford county,
which has vastly superior prospects,
ought to be leading this movement,
Plans were almost completed here last
year for making thorough test, hut
were postponed on account of the diff.
Guilty encountered when the promoters
attempted to lease large tracts Of land.
The rlan for drilling for oil here has not
been abandoned but there has been a
years delay and may be another year of
inactivity. 1t is one of the great questions
before the people of this district. A little
cheap fuel would mean much for this
country. 1t is too bad that some plan
can not be made to make thorough test
during the coming summer. 1t may be
done at this time by the original pro-
