to morning edition without consult
ing anybody. Not being newspaper
man, it never occurred to him that there
would be any dificulty about the press
franchise for Geographic news There
was. He changed the Sunday edition into
Saturday afternoon edition, and when
that was worked changed it back again,
confusing the few remaining readers
who dropped away rapidly.
So presently the strange spectacle was
seen of paper which had been greatly
improved, which published excellent
matter excellently written, clearly
printed and we'll illustrated, with cir
culation of one-tenth what it had been
when the paper was not so good, but
was at least consistently managed. In
a single year, Mr.. Munsey is supposed
to have spent nearly million dollars,
including the purchase price, upon the
News, up to the time when he publicly
announced that he was ready practically
to throw it away to suspend publication
without day or date.
That is the other side of the newspa-
per story, good to tell when one speaks
of the wonders Mr.. Hearst has wrought
with practically unlimited money and
nerve. Even these qualities do not al
ways win Mrs. Brown, it is sad to say,
did not come through the year much bet
ter than the purchaser other paper. She
was one of the unfortunates who pur-
chased considerable quantities of the
busted" shipbuilding trust.

two, and only two, houses, the down
town branch on Beaver street and the
one which, on the corner of Fifth ave-
nue. and Fortyfourth street, faces it's
newer rival, Sherry's, in the fight for
smart patronage.
In no way that l could name has the
effect in New York on the growth of
great wealth and the habit of ostentation
been more manifest than in the matter
of costly places of dining. Where Del
monicos had not SO very long ago al
most monopoly of expensive banquets,
it has seen the industry divided among
20 places, while it's own share has not
decreased. The Holland house, Sherry's,
the Savoy, the New Netherland, the
Majestic, are but types of score of ho-
tells where it is impossible to dine from
the card at moderate price, The table
d'hote dinner, costing $1.5O, is almost
contemptuously regarded in such places
as Cheap" The Cafe Martin, on the site
of the old Delmonico's, relegates its
table d'hote diners at that price to in
ferior quarters on the third floor, far
from the music and gayety, and taxes rs
cents per person extra, those who do
not order wine. This, indeed, is a COM
mon practice.
In the race for distinction, the ccmpe-
tition seems to be not to cut prices I'M
der other competitors, but to get them
higher. Delmorico rates are slow to
change; and the famous old house
still enables two persons, who order with
care and judgment, to get something to
eat for about three dollars. Delmonico
has no fixed-price dinner, and, of course,
no absurd tax upon those who do not or.
der wine. 1t is not now, as once it was
the highest priced restaurant in New
York, bit it is still an institution, after
having esriched three generations of
the original family.

surpasses all others in beauty, so, also,
does it in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forly acres, literally covered
with the treasures, the productions, the
curiosities Of &c world, tell the story
OF the fair in a sentence. No one Wis
itor will ever see it all, though he
spent the full time the exposition is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $50,000,OO0 before it's gates were
opened to the public; an exposition
to which So nations from all cor
ners of the world have sent their
best for the people of the world
to look upon; an exposition two miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited; an eX-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American eXpositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which st. Louis celebrates the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase.
But the men responsible for the eX-
position do not wish that it should at
tract by it's size alone. They have
builded for beauty, as well as for big
ness, and who can stand in the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? 1t is
the beauty, rather than the size of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-
try, is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. 1t is sentiment that is
fully exemplified in the imposing he
roic statues of the states that stand on
either side of Festival hall. These
statues typify not the states of the
east, but these of the west, the states
carved out of the Louisiana territory
the states that stretch from the gulf
to the Canadian border, from the Mis-
sissippi to Puget sound; states that
have within century Of time been
builded out of the wilderness. 1t is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; it is these again that have made
the exposition possible. The lesson
they teach is written deep in the his
tory of the nation.
To attempt an itemized description
CT the wonders this expos. ZION has

space of a newspaper article. Twelve

space within the great palaces. 1t is
almost impossible to realize what such

FRANKS OF A MONKEY PET.
Acted as Laundress and Performed
the Duties of Assistant to
the Family Cook.

Monkeys are the most initiative of all
the lower animals, and sometimes this
propensity for initiating the doings OF
their betters gets them into rare mis-
chief, as the following experience of a
London lad with pet monkey, whose
lnquisitive and initiative nature made
him the pest of the neighborhood. bears
amusing testimony.
One day this monkey observed the
maid washing the lace of her mistress.
He very obligingly offered to help her,
but was angrily repulsed by the maid
The monkey stopped for few minutes,
at safe distance, to give the maid a
we'll deserved scolding for her rudeness,
and then started out evidently intent on
finding other laundry work to do. The
result of his sudden intrusion into the
field of John Chinaman's labors can best
be told in the lady's own words:
Unfortunately" she says, "the win
doWs OF my room We're inyitingly open,
and he entered with the idea of the
washing still fresh in his head. He soon
discovered two small drawers contain
Ing lace, ribbons and handkerchiefs All,
here was the washing all ready to his
hands! In moment all of these ar
ticles were out of the drawers and into
foot pan, together with all the soap
and water that happened to be in my
room, and the laundering began. He
must have washed away with great
vigor, for when returned to my room
after an absence of an hour or so, found
him busily spreading out to dry the torn
and disfigured remnants of my lace, rib
bons and handkerchiefs He was we'll
aware that he had done wrong. Without
my speaking to him he made off the mo-
ment he saw me, going very quickly and
hiding himself in the case of the kitchen
clock in his own home"
Another time this same monkey saw
the cook at work preparing cartridges
for dinner. This looked like an amusing
and interesting operation, and he deter
mined forthwith to put it to the test
There were no more partridges; but ah,
yes, his mistress had some pet bantam
fowls! Doubtless one of them would do
equally we'll. At the first opportunity
he hurried out in the yard, seized one
of the hens, quickly returned to the
kitchen and then coolly began pulling
out the feathers, just as he had seen the
cook do, utterly regardless of the
squawking protests of the poor bantam
