high moral tone It has always had a superior reputation for its local news and able corps of local correspondents With the third part the work of the rench astronomer lam marrion which appears in The Cosmo politan for July the reader is able to grasp something of the great purpose of the author is declared by those who have read the entire work to be one of the most remarkable writings of the century While pretending to be a novel it Is a work having a deeply philosophical purpose as Is more fully developed in later chapters It is some thing that no fairly intelligent person can afford not to read and is surely destined to become a classic In a recent number of The Cosmopolitan a story was published entitled House of the which re ceived wide criticism because of the Importance of the life problems In volved A daughter of Bishop Potter who was for some time connected with important mission work among the working girls of New York has un dertaken to reply and discusses an other side

extraordinary 1 attractions at the fair The dedication of the Massachusetts build ing will take place and the meeting of the Sons and Daughters of the Ameji can Revolution will be held At 2 there will be an international parade of all the different people ani mals and vehicles of the Midway Plaisance They will proceed about the grounds and be a grand display of Interest to all There will also lie the usual illumination of the grounds at night McWilliams Block Up stalrs 3 Doors Northeast of the Post office Cleaning and repairing a specialty air rom Prime's Crop Bulletin No one need stay home any longer because the exhibits at the i World's air are not in order All that is wanted now is for the Railroads to come forward and give us once or twice a week They have made every preparation in the way of motive power cars and putting their tracks in fine order for moving the people but to this date the people have not come as they were expected to I have been asked agreatmany questions with regard to how you can see the most of the air in the shortest time very few people are so situ ated that they can give at the out side more than a week to the air It has occured to me in my own experience that it is a very good way to do the air to first before you go into any building take one of the electric floats and sail up and down the lagoons for two or three hours In no other way can you form any conception of the greatness grand eur and extent of the air than in this way It has another very pleasant feature and that is you see so much without getting tired as everyone knows there is noth ing so exhausting as sightseeing After you have done this get onto the Intra Mural Elevated Railway This railroad goes all around the air grounds on the inside and gives you another and entirely different view and aspect of the great exhibit This ought to take you about half a day with the sail upon the water after that you are in good condition to single out whatever exhibit you are mostly interested in and you can keep that up all summer if you like Yet alter you have done the Pair you will come away and say that you have not seen one half of it 1 ought not to forget to say a word about the Mid wav Plaisance This has attractions for everybody and it does not make any difference where you go you will be sure not only to be entertained but wonder fully instructed There wild and untutored tribes and Danus oi people from all parts of the world This part of the exhibition I en joyed more than anything else for there are people here that we can never see again under the favor able circ*mstances which exist where they are to day the streets of Cairo are particularly instruc tive The Javanese people are very interesting and the Dahomas are I think the greatest show on the grounds Hagendack trained animals are the most wonderful exhibition of their kind we have had in this country The is not yet completed but I do not think you will stumble over it when you are in the Plais ance I forgot to say that no one ought to fail in spending at least half a dav in the wonderful im pressive and massive exhibit of The engines of war are mighty So ponderous that it does seem incredible that they could ever be moved across the ocean and put up with so little trouble for our gratification In conclusion all I have to say is do not fail to see the World's air and come before the weather gets very hot We hope everyone who owns a aorse will the advertisem*nt of the Elkhart Harness Manufacturing Eixu: Indiana appearing in this pauer Examinations Candidates for
