Verdict of New York Writer Who Spent Week the
s Exposition a in July

The Worlds Fair at St. Louis is
now in the midst of its splendid sea
son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli-
tan. 1t commands the attention of the
world as no other enterprise Of the
present year. From all nations there
are pilgrims coming to this shrine,
and from all our states and territories
there is constantly growing throng
OF visitors. United States Senators,
Governors of States, men eminent in
science, art and letters-all express
unqualified admiration for the Exposi-
lion and free acquescence In the oft
repeated statement that this Is by far
the greatest and best universal expo.
stion ever held.
During July a well-known magazine
and newspaper writer from New York,
Mr.. Addison Steele, spent a week at
the Worlds Fair. inspecting the
grounds, buildings and various attrac-
tions as thoroughly as was possible in
that limited period. Returning home,
Mr.. Steele published in Brooklyn
Life the following appreciative com.
ments on the Exposition:

expected much of the Louisiana Pur-

touch with the making of it from its
very inception, five years ago; but

through this new wonderland | must
confess that in every essential par

MORAL OF A STORY LOST.
Only One Part of the Narrative At
tracted Youth.


]. II. Garfield. librarian of Colum-
bia, tells the following story of an at
tempt "to point a moral" etc. He
was in the country for a few days
and was directing the work of new
hand" boy of about seventeen.
Like all boys of that age, he was for
getful, careless and heedless-though
good-natured and willing. Working
with him one morning, the librarian
thought he would indirectly give the
lad something to think about, and
so said:
Il did my first days work when I
was twenty-one, just out of college.

than you are getting. But l was

was soon getting hundred dollars a
month. | am not sure, but | always
thought got on because | took an in
terest in my work, remembered my
instructions. kept tools picked up, and

At the close OF the lesson" the lad
looked up with an interest which was
encouraging and said:
Say! Want you darned lucky not
to have to do lick of work till you

grounds are to be found, the table

and three dollars. respectively. There
is also a la carte service. Everything

sive, and at least one meal should be
taken there for the experience. An
other should be taken at the Tyrolean
Alps, either outdoors or in the gor-
geous dining-room in the mountain
side. The best French restaurant is
at Paris, on the Pike. Lower in prices
ard in every way admirable are the
two restaurants conducted by Mrs.
Rorer in the pavilions Of Cascade
Gardens. The east one has wait

walters and beer. For a bit of lunch
Germany, France and England all
offer delicious pastry in the Agricul-

Admirinq the Mower.

I love the swish of the cleaning blade,
The thump of the lusty tread,
Where the timothy stalk is lowly laid
And the daisy bends its head.
There's freedom here in the mighty sweep
Dlstillng the bays perfume:
There's freedom here in the hands that
reap
And conquer the clover bloom.
Here toll is king. and the beaded brow
Seems never a-wrink with care:
Here work is play-or 1t seems somehow
To me 1t is-but there,
But there where the lusty mower goes
with strenuous stride along
Perhaps he'd sing. If he could. who
knows.
A different sort of song?
For here l loll in the shade immense.
With my old muse on the run;
! loll this side Of the zigzag fence
lie broils there in the sun.
