Tbeman on whom the chief responsi bility for the conduct of the World’s Fair" will tost is Col. George R. Da vis, of Chicago, upon whom the Local Board of Directors and the National Commission agreed for the post of Di rector General. Ths local directory chose Col Davis fr m among the many men recommended for the place, and submitted his name to the commission, wh>cb body formally elected Col. Davis to the high office. There wss one oth er candidate, General Hastings, of Pennsylvania, but Col. Davis was cho sen upon the first ballot and his elec tion was then made unanimous. There is that in the character of the man thus honored which speaks for tbe wisdom of the action by the cominis-- sion. Col.

PUT UP AND PUT DOWN. I want a word to rhyme with ills. I have it uow: I’ll pat down pills. Excuse me, though—than put down "pills, I’d rather suffer some big ills. To put down the old-fashioned, huge, bitter pills, that griped so and made suoh disturbance internally is more than a wise man will do. He will not nut up with such unnecessary suffering. He uses Dr. Pierce’s Fleasant Pellets. As a Liver Pill, they are unequaled. Smallest, cheapest, easiest to take.
