that trunk taken to tho hotel with the rest
Of our baggage. I demonstrated. Its

that to one who has never heard the ex-

so with 'Joe.", joe had only recentlG
landed from England and was travelling
on the Wabash railroad bound for British
Columbia. when the conductor handed
him a telegram which " d:.How Is every
thing going. Answer d~eadhead.' 1t was
all plain enough except the last word
adeadhead. He made up his mind to
follow orders and about midnight Harry,
a telegraph operator in q newspaper

irrigation Exposition at Chicago
from Nov 2oth TO Dec. 4th.

A debt of gratitude and vote Of
thanks will be due the Chicago Trib
une from the American people when
the United States Land and Irrigation
Exposition is over The inception 0t
this great undertaking was entirely
due to the Tribune The idea orig.
mated with the Tribune, and the en-.
tire responsibility. financial and other.
wise. was assumed by the Tribune
So timely did this enterprise seem
to be that all the great irrigation and
other land interests were quickly won
and promised their participation and
support The United States govern
lnent has thought SO well of the Trib
une's idea that it will be the largest
exhibitor.
All the exhibits of the exposition
will deal with the idea of establish
ing American homes upon small farms
All the features of this unique and
wonderful show will be piyoted around
the idea that the best place for an
American family is in a home of lis
own, and that home tract of land
large enough to maintain the family III
any emergency. With our better
knowledge of plants and soils and cul
tural practices few acres have an as
tonishing capacity for production
Valuable instruction along these lines
Will be found by the visitor at the
coming exposition. Nov 70 to Dec. d
at Chicago's great Coliseum
Besides the features specially pre-
pared and brought from Washing.

ments exhibit at Seattle will be in

manner worthy OF the government b,

The value OF the government ex. |
hibits to the visitor will lie in the fact
that they are new and represent the \
latest thought and development in the
various lines which they represent Il
