Ora brother pilgrim hero,
Let him know.
Show him you appreciate
What he does; and do not wait
Till the heavy hand of Fate
Lays him low.
If your heart contains a thought
That will brighter make his lot,
Then, in mercy, hide it not :
Tell him so.
Waif not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said ;
For the spirit that has tied,

The Exposition Ferris Wheel.
The problem or moving tho Ker
ris wheel trout Chicago to St.
Louis was stupendous—I.20O tons
of material, including the 70-ton
axle, besides engines, boilers and
derricks and false work, had to be
transported. One hundred and
severity-live freight cars were re
quired to move this material.
A brief resume of the dimen
sions and description of the Ker
ris wheel may he interesting. Tho
wheel is 250 feet in diameter and
stands 201 feet high. In reality
it is two wheels braced together.
Between the outer rims of the I
wheels tho eleven-ton ears are sus- j
''pended. on six and a half-inch |
pins, six feet long. These cars j
are thirteen feet wide, twenty six
leet long, nine feet high and will
carry sixty persons each. There
are thirty six of them, so the total
capacity of the wheel is 2,lti0 per
sons. At several times in ils
history the wheel litis been Tilled
to its capacity. The axle of the
wheel is a solid steel forging,
thirty-two inches in diameter and
| forty-five feet long.
The solid bronze bearing upon
which it rest3 are each six feet
long and contain nearly two tons
of metal. The weight of the wheel
is carried upon two four-post tow- ;
eis, six feet square on the top and
40 by 59 feet at the base. These
in turn rest upon solid concrete I
1 and steel beam pillars, which tire
carried down to solid rock, twenty-
six feet below the surface of the ,
ground. 'The towers are anahord 1
to the bottom of this mass by bars,
so that the wheel is perfectly safe,
even in the most violent storms.
I The side vibration of the wheel
: in an eighly-mile-an-hour wind
’> is less than one-half inch. The
wheel is run by a double reversing
! engine with cylinders 80 by 48 |
inches, capable of developing i
)n 2,000 horse-power. The power is
poor NPpli'-d through a series,of cogs to ,
Blue a sprocket chain which engages 1
wide cogs on the outside of each i
rim.
Two revolutions are given each 1
passenger, and the time required 1
is from twenty to thirty minutes. J
The view during this half hour
ride is most interesting and in- j
structive. Gradually, as the ma
jestic and mighty wheel rolls one
ti[> higher and higher, a grand
panorama unfolds itself to view. I
A$00,000,000 exposition in all its j
grandeur is before you. The lo- ;
cation of the wheel in the center of
the fair grounds gives one an op
portunity to thoroughly familiar- j
ize themselves with the grounds
gives tin opportunity to tlioreral
idea of the fair than they could
by days of traveling.
The Cascades, the plateau of ,
states, all the big buildings, the
Hike, Festival Hall, the Art
Building, Foreign Building, Phil
ippine Reservation, the Airship
(j e „ \ inclosure, in fact every point of
interest in the ground can l>o
seen from the big wheel. In ad- '
dilion, one gets a view of St.
Louis the .Mis-issippi river, and
the beautiful forests, hills and
dales for fifty miles around. At
night the view of the illumination
of lha buildings and grounds is j
simply magnificent.—Ex.

A Gigantic Exposition.
Some idea of the magnitude of
the World’s Fair may bo gained
when it is known that the exhibits
at St. Bonis arc given at, 70,ODD in
the catalogue, and that as tin
elect t ie plant of 40,000 horse-pow
er built at a cost $4.00,000, is re
quired to operate the machinery,
of which there is a great deal more
moving than at tho Chicago,
World’s Fair. There lias been 1
more money spent than in any
other tsvo great exhibits ever
made in this country or Europe.
The grounds at Chicago measured
058 acres; at Philadelphia, 536
a res; at, Paris in 1000, 336 acres;
at Buffalo, BOO acres. The expo
sition fence at St. 1,outs is nine
miles lung and incloses 1,200
acres. In a single building one
might waMc nine miles in thouisles
between the exhibits. Within the
rounds are 1,570 separate build
ings. The largest, the agricultur
al building, covers more than
twenty-one acres, and the trans
portation building more than six
teen, while the Philippine exhibit,

Any man can take a newspaper.
It is the cheapest thing he can
buy; it costs no more than a post
age stamp, and it instructs you
and your wife and teaches vour
children, .-avs an exchange. It
conus through rain, calm or
storm, bringing you the host news
of the neighborhood. No matter
what happens, it enters your door
as a welcome friend full of sun
shine, cheer and interest. It
shortens the long summer days
and enlivens the long winter
nights. It is your advisor, and
friend. No man is just to his
wife and children who does not
give them the home paper to read.
— Walton Tribune.
While holding a term of the Su
preme court at Augusta, .Judge
Walton sentenced a man to soven
years in prison for a grave crime,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Thu
prisoner’s counsel asked for a mit
igation of the sentence ou tho
ground that tho prisoner’s health
was very poor.
“Your honor,” said be, “1 am
'sti-!i 4 that my client cannot livu
out half that term, and I beg of
you to change the sentence.”
“Well, under these circumstan
ces,” said tho judge. “I will
change lhe sentence. I w.U make
it for iife it,staid of seven years.”
