A RECEIPT.


There's plenty to be glad about
Amid life's many rues.
Sometimes when l must CAD about
In tight and squeaky shoes,
I'm glad I'm not ccntipede
With fifty pairs OF feet
Who has to walk his daily need
Upon the busy street
indeed whatever clouds may loom,
No matter what my plant,
| always ease a present gloom
By thinking of what amt"
What is no doubt is bad enow,
But still l keep serene
By dwelling in my mind on how
Much worse they might have been.

Then, too. an exposition is somewhat like a
pipe 1t has to be seasoned. In every exposition
there are exhibitors who seemingly from delbcr-
ate purpose make themselves late. They are like
those people who always arrive late for engage
mcnts. They expect nothing to be on time and
they arc sure that nothing important will happen
till they get there.

The exposition authorities have been more or
less criticised for the way they advertised the
fair throughout the world. They have relied
tratons which they have scattered broadcast for
free publication. In this way they have secured
a tremendous amount OF publicity at minimum
of cost. II they had gone directly into advertising
they would have been obliged to spend vast sums
of money and, in spite OF their great resources.
they continually subjected to heavy strain

BOYD ALLEGES FRAUD
IN CLAY CONTRACTS
Architect Says Cement Was
Used for Granite in Fire
house Operation.

Omissions of granite columns and other
costly work that had been called for in
the first contract for the police station
and frehouse at Sd and Race streets were
described today by d. Knickerbacker
Boyd, an architect, at the trial of Henry
Clay, former Director of Public Safety;
John r. Virgins and Willard II. Walls,
contractors, accused of conspiracy to de-
fraud the city by contract jugglery.
Boyd was on the witness stand most
of yesterday and probably will not finish
his testimony before adjournment today.
He concluded his testimony on the truck
house at 18th and Catharine streets this
morning, and Assistant District Attorney
Joseph A. Taulane then referred him to
the various contracts for the Sd and
Race streets project.
Among the substitutions of cheaper ma
terial testified to by Boyd were cement
wheel guards at the fire house entrance,
instead of grantee a Stag roof for tin,
galvanized iron in place of copper and
wood for marble in the wainscotng. He
testified the plans for the second con-
tract were generally followed in the con-
struction of this building The defense
contends Virgins G. Co. got paid for both
contracts.
1t is the contention of the Common
wealth that the city was defrauded TO
the extent of $4,000 by reason of the al
ltbtu DtlWtcU lHe lllTee ue-
PENDANTS to alter the plans under which
the work was done. Virgins bid on the
first advertised plans for the Sd and
Race streets job was S107676. Under this
contract the three buildings were to be
erected along elaborate lines. After Wig
gins & Co. secured the first contract.
second contract was awarded to the COM
pany for the same work.
The specifications attached to the sec
ond contract eliminated much of the
work provided for in the original con-
tract, but Virgins was paid s13,S9O addI-
tional under tho second contract not
withstanding the fact that under the re-
vsed plans and specifications attached
thereto, it cost the contractor less money
TO erect the buildings. A third contract
was subsequently awarded to Virgins at
an additional cost to the city OF s4635, and
called for the completion OF certain work
In the interior OF the police station and
other incldentals toward the completion
of the three buildings as per the second
contract.
