It will be worth all the self-denial
that one may practice for several years
to see the Worlds Fair of 1904 at St.
Louis. Money saved, earned or Dor
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. ...---.
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. It is great collec-
ton of expeditions massed into one. 1t
is nearly twice as large as the Column
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. H.
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
he world are all here alongside great
numbers of individual exhibitors. Five
great staples have been chosen for ex-
traordinary display. Corn. cotton,
sugar, rice and tobacco are here ar
rayed as they have never been before
and undreamed possibilities are re-
vealed to inquiring minds. Such dairy
display was never attempted and such
a collection of farm machinery and
tools was never placed on exhibition.

TWO VERY SMART PARROTS
One, Called Polly, Chews Tobacco ant
the Other Is Afraid Of Old Glory
When It Waves.

Within a birdseye view of the Eagle
Office at Brooklyn, N. Y, are two as
remarkable parrots as could be found
in years of wandering. One chews to-
baccO, but does not swear. She Is
owned by Henry Eberhardt, who runs
q hair dressing establishment in the
savings bank block at the corner of At
lantic avenue and Clinton street. She
rejoices in the simple name Of Polly"
and never occupies cage, except at
night. All day long Polly can be seen
on an open perch through the big plate
glass window on Clinton street. In
the summer time Polly flies just out
side the window when thunder storm
comes up and greatly enjoys shower
bath. Polly, although nine years old,
has never made an attempt to escape,
and probably never will. Whenever
she sees a man in the shop eating she
follows him around and leases him to
the best of her ability. She likes can
dy, is fond of coffee and will pick a
meat bone clean. If she sees man
take chew of tobacco, she wants a
little, too, turning bit of plug around
in her bill as she would nut.
Polly" is a pugnacious bird If an
animal seeks close acquaintance. Mr..
Eberhardt once owned a bull terrier
who attempted too great familiarity
one day. Polly made rush and slit
the dogs nose from top to bottom with
her beak. His dogship never ventured
near her again. This parrot whistles
and talks and sings little in Span
ish. She initiates the crying and laugh
ing of children. In addition she has a
stable vocabulary, saying Hello Hen
ry!" Cher owners name) and Hello
Doctor" with startling distinctness.
She rolls on her back and does such
odd stunts as picking among the hairs
of Mr.. Eberhardt's head, as If they
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1904-05-26

we're her own feathers. Polly has new
er seen a sick day.
Another parrot, equally remarkable
in it's way is Hopkins" owned by Mr..
Williams, who keeps furnishing
goods store at 100 Court street. He is
called "Hoppy" for short and is II
years old. He eats potatoes, bread and
butter and sunflower seeds regularly
and has walnuts and cranberries for
delicacies. He does not like the water
except to drink, and bathes only under
compulsion. Some years ago he was
Ill. but was brought around with a
mixture of whisky and paragoric. The
whisky, by the way, made him so tip
sy that he kept falling OFF his perch.
Hopkins does not like small boys
and If he sees them coming will hustle
into his cage as if it was a cyclone
cellar While liking his wire prison
he looks forward to the hour when
the gas is lighted, for then he is al
lowed to walk along one of the glass
showcases. If the clerks delay in tax
ing him out he will ys.. "Hurry up, be
quick" "Peek-a-boo,'' PUSSY cat"
and ,"Good-bye' are among the plain
est words he repeats. Whenever he
hears the fire engines tearing by he
will cock up his head and inquire.
whats that?" He also repeats the
words dad, naughty boy" occasional
ly, particularly when he has done some
piece of mischief. A knocking or any
strange noise causes him to screech
pussy cat" 1t takes him about a year
to learn a new word. He does not
hesitate to attack cat or dog coming
near his cage, but is rather afraid of
United States flag. if waved in close
proximity, although there is red silk
on the screen around his cage.-Brook.

FUN IN THE GARRET.

We're having a lovely time to-day! .g.i
We're all of us up in the garnet at play!
We have three houses under the caves
Not real you know, but make-be!ieves.
Two we live in, and one is a store,
Where a little old screen makes truly
door.
Warren keeps store, and Joe is his clerk.
And Betty and lstay at nome and work.
Joe comes around and' knocks or rings, y
And we order potatoes and steak ar6
things;
And sometimes We go to the store and buy,
Or send the children for ribbons or pie. {.
It's lots of fun-just try it some day
When it rains too hard to go out and play.

WHEN Y0V GOTO THE WORLDS FAIR
Suggestions That Should BE Helpful to the Stranger
in ST. Louis--No Trouble When You Get Your Bear
ac ines-The Greatest of Worlds Expositions.

The United States Government
building is on broad terrace half way
up the hill in the extreme eastern part
of the grounds. Uncle Sam never had
such large exhibit building at an ex-
position before. It is nearly 800 feet
long and $50 feet wide. Another build
ing devoted to fisheries built in tho
style Of an old Roman house stands
upon lower ground directly southwest
from the larger building. The outdoor
display of ordnance is not the least in
teresting of the government exhibits. "
The Palace of Art at the Worlds Fair
contains 1875 galleries Each gallery
is a 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
100000. 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
a decoration that will distinguish this
exposition from all others.
In a short article such as this one
can only refer to such great features as
the Philippine exhibit, covering 40
acres and containing more than 1000
natives from those far-off Pacific is
lands: the United States government
Indian exhibit, covering many acres
and occupying large building; the ex-
hibit of the United States bureau OF
plant industry, consisting of an out
door map of the United States, cover
ing four acres; the great athletic field
where the Olympian games of 1904 will
