WORLD’S FAIR NEARLY READY

Plans For installing Exhibits Complete, and Work la Being Rapidly Pushed—Transportation Companies Have Solved the Problem of Caring For increased Freight Traffic.

WITH the opening days of 1904 work on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition passed into the last stage, that of installation of exhibits and beautifying. Yet progress on these final touches has kept pace with the work of construction for a major portion of the last twelve months, so that the line of demarkatlon between actual building operations and final endeavor Is difficult to indicate. Thus, even while roofers were employed on the Palace of Machinery, the great steel crane. Itself an exhibit, was swinging parts of engines that might well be called mammoth into position, so that the dawn of 1904

shows nearly all of these modern -creators of force In position; And so it is on Agriculture hill. Nine months ago thousands of rosebushes were planted in order that they might gain strength from long tenure of the soil, and in like manner other exhibits of nurserymen were in place long before snow commenced to fall. Tracks are laid In the huge Palace of Transportation, and turntables have been placed on solid concrete foundations. These are being burdened with locomotives of the latest construction and with modernly equipped coaches. In other palaces floor space that has been marked off is being decorated

with handsome Interior homes where various exhibitors will display their wares, and In many instances the wares themselves are being placed in position. On Government hill several companies of soldiers are preparing for the mounting of the great rifled cannon that will make such a formidable display, and under supervision of men from the United States navy the deck of a modern warship is assuming interesting proportions. Art hill shows the palace of stone and the two annexes ready to receive the paintings and works of bronse and marble. No less forward are conditions on that interesting adjunct to this Universal Exposition, the Pike. All the laffce amusement buildings are practically complete, and within the walls now are stage carpenters, creators of illusions

and other wizards, transferring bare walls into places of enchantment By an arrangement recently made between a transportation company and the railroads it is believed there will be no delay in delivering the many train loads of exhibits within the gates of the Exposition. Extensive preparations have been perfected to handle all freight that comes into the city, and, in addition to service by a system of big drays—some propelled by steam, others drawn by horses—which is designed for the smaller shipments, ear load lots will enter direct over the several switch lines that wind in and out between the buildings. In order that no delay might be caused by severity of the weather the Exposition management looked especially to the construction of the roadbeds during the late fall of 1903, and now there is no danger that heavy drays will be stalled in soft, muddy places, but all can proceed on a smooth, hard surface to the place of destination. Acting in accord with the general spirit of facilitating rapid installation, the Terminal Railroad Association, which controls all shipments of freight delivered by roads from the east, has doubled its capacity for handling freight in both the St. Louis and East St. Louis yards, and it is now believed that during the busiest weeks, which will undoubtedly be those of March and April, there will be no congestion across the two big bridges that span the Mississippi. Should there be, however, resort can be had to the ferry service, which also has been increased in order to care for any emergency.

Shippers all agree that freight is arriving in SL Louis better today than ever before, and this notwithstanding the fact that the terminal facilities are not quite completed and that a number of tracks cannot be operated because of laborers being engaged in their reconstruction. A recent test proved that a consignment of freight from Boston was delivered in a building on the Fair grounds seven cfays after its shipment from a warehouse in that eastern city, and all persons who have any knowledge of such matters must admit that this is very fair time. As for the western roads, they all have spurs leading direct to the Exposition, and in many instances cars can be switched direct into the grounds without even a day’s detention in the yards. Those who have the work of delivering exhibits in charge say that they can keep pace with the men who do the installing, and that, unless the unforeseen occurs, there should be no delay In filling the palaces with the wares that will comprise the wonderful display. The situation is very satisfactory to all concerned, and the general belief Is that St. Louis will not only have the greatest Exposition ever held, but will also give to the world the only Fair to be ready on time. As for the beautifying of the Exposition, It is only a question of putting the men at work. Every plan has been made; all the preliminaries are com-

pleted. The landscape gardeners have laid out the grounds to meet the approval of the most exacting critic, and It needs only the warm rains of spring to coax Into bloom the seeds, bulbs and plants that within a week can be placed in the soil. In like manner the color scheme for the palaces has been definitely arranged, so that painters have but to follow instructions, and almost within a fortnight the beautiful buildings will shine resplendent in the holiday coats that they will wear for seven months, beginning April 30. Long ago electric wire cables were laid throughout the site, and now It is but a matter of attaching the hundreds of thousands of globes which will Illuminate both the water and the air so that at night the World’s Pair City Shall shine even more resplendent than during the day. CLAUDE H. WETMORE.

A BEAUTY.

Nay. bus you, who do not love her. Is she not pure gold, my mistress? —Browning. There had never been any doubt as to Polly Pemberton’s beauty. She had bees a young tyrant from babyhood! It had never been of the slightest use trying to keep her under. Her mother made conscientious attempts not to have her In evidence when guests were about, and her father feebly seconded her efforts by trying to keep out of Polly’s way. The undertaking was nevertheless hopeless. Polly, standing wistfully at the nursery window, made prudent resolutions vanish like chaff. Polly as “Cherry Ripe” going to church was the enchanting thing of the day. When newcomers first caught glimpses of her wheeling her doll carriage or playing with the pup, they were useless for further purposes of entertainment until the first novelty of intercourse with Polly wore off. “Her conversation alone is worth the price of admission;” condescended a cousin of Polly’s, second year at Yale. When Polly grew, horribly spoiled, of course, petulant, exacting, fairly generous, warm hearted, openly truthful, she was so beautiful that evei.. thing was permitted to her. She was clever enough to keep even men whose approbation was worth something devoted to her. The time naturally came when two oat of the crowd of worshipers were distancing all competitors. Polly knew her world and foresaw the inevitable decision she would presently be called upon to make. She intended to marry for love, being much too clever to be willing to miss that happiness. She was determined to get out of life all that was lu it. “What a comfort it is to be pretty!” she thought contentedly. “Then really nice men fall In love with one. How dreadful to have to choose from impossible creature^!” One of the men was an artist. He loved Polly’s beauty. Iler soul was of no moment. But Polly did not know this. It did not occur to her that any one would dare to separate the two. The other man loved the inner Polly. He reverenced her beauty, as he did all beauty and truth and the other things worthy men worship. And Polly did not know r the difference between the two loves. There was a tender poetry in the artist’s w’ooing which was very sweet to her. He had a way of gently touching her hair and quoting: Holds earth aught—speak truth—above her? Above this trees, and this I touch. But cannot praise, I love so much! which went to Polly’s heart. Yet the constant referring to a strong, serious nature, which the other man unquestionably attributed to her, kept her in a rarer atmosphere than, but for the stimulus of his personality, she could have breathed in. She felt this always, but naturally more keenly when the other man was with her. The futures the two men offered her were vastly different. The artist drew winning pictures of a beautiful dreamy old world life, drifting In Venice, driving through the Wordsworth land, going from German villages to the boulevard fetes, from the enchantment of Swiss lakes to the Land of the Midnight Sun and everywhere living a lover existence of “love and beauty and delight.” But the other man spoke of a working day world, of a place where men and women and pitiful children needed help and success. He drew her into the life of the worse half of the world and showed her Its need. He made her hear the cry of children wanting bread, made her see girls like herself ground into awful fates, and through it all she felt his love about her protecting, comforting, infinitely tender and believing. Meantime the summer was passing. The cooling breezes of early September brought fresh Joys. The artist took Polly canoeing, and the other man, who was very boyish and enthusiastic, rowed off his feelings in a single scull. After all, it was a little thing which decided Polly. One afternoon Polly was making tea on the lawn while the rival contestants were playing tennis. She looked unusually beautiful, and when the set was over rae artist made several sketches of her. One of them he called “Over the Teacups” in playful love for the dear waiter. He afterward painted it in and in a few days showed It to Polly.

Lite Renewed. Left Side Badly Affected. Liable to Paralytic Stroke. Dr. Miles* Nervine Gave Me New Life. “Thi* is to certify that I have used Dr. Miles’ Remedies quite extensively, especially the Restorative Nervine, which has done wonders for me. Six years ago I had nervous prostration and again three years ago, at which time I began taking Dr. Miles'Restorative Nervine. I kept taking it for six months and have taken an occasional dose during the last two years. I am practically a new man and feel that I have been given n new lease of life. I used to have very bad attacks of stomach trouble but since using the Nervine I can eat most anything I want with impunity. I was examined m Omaha by a noted German doctor three years ago. He told me I was liable to a paralytic stroke any moment; that my whole left side was badly affected. That was just before I began taking Dr. Milca’ Restorative Nervine. My work for two years and a half has been very trying on my nerves. lam a presiding elder, traveling my districts at the rate of ten thousand miles a year, preaching on an average of five times a week, besides many business meetings, and the multitudinous cares of my work in general. Thanks to Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine 1 have been gaining in flesh despite this hard work until now I weigh a hundred and ninety-six pounds, nearly twenty pounds more than in all my life. I preach Nervine wherever I go to those afflicted with nerve, heart or stomach trouble.” —Rev. M. D. Myers, Presiding Elder, Free Methodist Church, Correctionville, la.

“I don’t like It at all,” she objected. “It Is the portrait of a heartless girl.” The artist laughed. “What does it matter?” he said. “With such holy beauty as yours you could he nnything you liked. No one expects you to be anything but beautiful.” Miss roily Pemberton was not slow. A great many things came hack to her as she looked at him for a moment. Then she smiled vaguely. “One man does,” she said sweetly. “The man I am going to marry, not you, you know. He thinks me true and good, but it does not matter to you, does it?” “Is it Ferris?” asked the artist. “Yes,” said Polly, and so she was irrevocably committed. Ferris’ one coherent remark was that it was better to win her by a fluke than not at all.— Madge Robertson in New York Press.

Poor Alcott.

Senator Hoar in his autobiography says of A. Bronson Aleott: “I am ashamed to say that we thought Mr. Aleott rather stupid. Emerson once told him: ‘I got together some people a little while ago to meet Aleott and to hear him converse. I wanted them to know what a rare fellow he was. But we did not get along very well. Poor ’ Aleott had a hard time. Theodore Parker came all stuck full of knives. He wound himself around Aleott like an anaconda. You could hear poor Alcott’s bones crunch.’ ”

Learn Practical Work.

Eacb farm is a local problem, and each farmer must be more or less of an experimenter. Farm boys of Illinois are always very much interested In corn. There are over 5,000 boys and girls In the state who raise corn to compete in the corn growing contests at their county farmers’ institutes, and this competition has led them to think of something besides the prizes they hope to win. Every one of them has learned something as to why and how plants grow and why some plants, like some men, thrive and prosper better than others. Careful attention to every detail in the growing and harvesting of a plat of corn is suggestive and enables a boy. to discover much for himself.—Farmers’ Advocate.
