Why Folk is Famous.

1t is easy to find plenty of men
willing to face the enemy's guns
on a bloody battlefield, or to un-
dertake the perlous adventures of
Funston or a Hobson; but it is
rarely that an official can be found
who has the heroism to attack,
single. handed, II citadel of corrupt
power, intrenched by beneficiaries
of misgovernment in both parties.
1t is because of the rarity and no.
bility of such men that Mr.. Folk of
Missouri has national reputation
to. day, and is popularly recognized
as an invincible and incorruptible
statesman, whose supreme aim is
to serve a misued and plundered
public.

had the promised ride. Then we

The morning came aud we were
again on the way. On entering
the grounds we at once took the
automobile, and on the second
round we stopped at the sunken
garden, admiring the beautiful
flowers; and then up the many
steps of the Government building.
Just a glance in passing, and here
Bright Eyes discovered the battle
ships he had seen the day before
at the Naval Show and recognized
the Columbia, the Admiral's ship.
We went into the fisheries and
were just in time to see the seals
fed, and then made the rounds of
the glass cases to the delight of
even the smaller boy. who had
joined us for the morning trip.

just in time to get good seat and
see the entrance of the little ships.
This is a delight to the little folks.
especially boys, and for older
children the historical feature
could be fully impressed on them.
Our next regular plan was to take
he intramural to go to the agri-
cultural building to see the Colo

floral clock, but the miniature
railway was so fascinating that we
added that Mt once, and then took
the iDtramural.

for the boy was ended. Back to
the hotel, then to Union Station
and the homeward journey com
menced.

We went to the Agricultural
building. The chauffeur announces
on his rounds that this building
contains thirteen miles of aisles,
and as we could find no Jefferson
guard who seemed able to locate
the Colorado exhibit, we decided
not to attempt the rest of the thir.
teen miles in the search. BY this
time, it was wise TO consider that
smalllboy was apt to be hungry
after so much walking, and I
looked for nice place to eat our
lunch. 1t is always well when
