Stirling Calder. This heroic sculpture stands in the center lagoon of the three lagoons of the South Gardens and
faces the main entrance gates. The waters were first released on opening day, February 20, coincidently with the
opening of the portals of tho exhibit palaces and by the same means: the electric spaik transmitted across the con

A word from Beecher, one of the
world’s leading pulpiteers: “The nec
essity of amusement is admitted on
all hands. God is himself passion
ately found of beauty, and the earth
is his garden, as an acre is man’s.
God has made us like himself to be
pleased by the beauty of the world.
He has made provision in nature, in
society, and in the family for amuse
ment, and exhilaration enough to fill
the heart with the perpetual sunshine
of delight. Upon this broad path pur
fled with flowers, scented with odors,
brilliant in colors, vocal with echoing
and re-echoing melody, I take my
stand against all demoralizing pleas
ure. Is it not enough that our Fath
er’s house is so full of dear delights,
that we must wander prodigal, to
the swineheard for husks, and to
the slough for drink. When the trees
of God’s heritage bend over our
head and solicit our hands to pluck
the golden fruitage, must we still go
in search of the apples of Sodom, out
side fair and inside ashes. Men
shall crowd to the circus to hear
the clowns, and see rare feats of
horsemanship; but a bird may pose
beneath the very sun, or, flying
downward, swoop from the high heav
en, then flit with graceful ease, hith
er and thither, pouring liquid song
as if it were perennial fountain of
sound, —no man cares for that. Upon
the stage of life the vastest trage
dies are performing in every act, —
nations pitching headlong to their
final catastrophe, others raising their
youthful forms to begin the drama
of their existence. The great dra
matic throng of life is hustling along.
The wise, the fool, the clown, the
miser, the bereaved and the broken
hearted. To this vast theater which
God hath builded, where stranger
plays are seen than ever author writ,
man seldom cares to come. It is my
object not to withdraw the young
man from pleasure, but from un
worthy pleasures; not to lessen their
enjoyments, but to increase them,
by rejecting the counterfeit and the
vile. Amusements and missions. Mis
sions and amusements,

Pretty Easter Party.
Hoschton, Ga.. April 7. —A pretty
event of Inst week was an Faster
party Saturday night when Mr. and
Mrs. .Mac 0. Hill entertained about
twenty-five of their friends.
The parlor was pretty in its deco
rations of jonquils and hyacinths and
soft lights from candles marked the,
event as one o* the prettiest ever
given. Games were played during
the entire evening, then all entered
some very interesting contests.
One, an Faster contest, whs enjoy
ed and the prize—a liand-painted pic
ture, suggestive of Foster—was pre
sented to Mr. Albert Parker and
Miss Eddie Tambraugh Another
thrilling contest was to feed a huge
rabbit with mouth open which was
placed in touch of all. Standing at
a given distance each guest was pro
vided corn with which to feed the
rabbit. Miss Viola Wiley was the
lucky one and was awarded the prize
—a white rabbit.
A big nest, surrounded by rabbits
held egg-shaped fortunes which were
hand-painted in violets and chickens
carrying out the Faster suggestion.
Miss Lula Mae Hill assisted her
sister in entertaining and read the
fortunes.
At a late hour delicious cakes and
hot chocolate with whipped cream,
were served.
On departing tin* guests were pre
sented boquets of hyacinths, Every
one declaring it to be a most enjoy
able affair.
When Eager to Criticise.
When you are eager to criticise,
just stop a moment and put your
self soberly in the place of the man
you wish to criticise, reflect on his
difficulties, and especially on what
you aie sure must be bis good in
tentions. Reflect also on your own
vast ignorance of the facts he has
to deal with. You will be surprised
to find how much tamer your tongue
grows.—Youth’s Companion.
Przemysl’s final surrender goes a
long way toward restoring our faith
in the impregnability of vowels.

“HONOR THY FATHER
AND THY MOTHER.”
A great thought and a great ser
mon couched in a few words by W.
1‘ Faust in an article headed “What
About the Aged,” reminds me of
an Indian story by George Catlin. H
said lie was traveling among the
Ponca Indians and one day they be
gan making preparations for moving
farther west in pursuit of buffaloes
to dry for meat for the winter’s use.
They took dow'n their wigwams of
skins and everything packed ready
for the journey. My attention was
directed by tlie Indian agent to on
of the most miserable and helpless
looking objects that I had ever seen
in all my life. Avery aged and
emancipated man of the tribe, who,
t Id me he was to be exiled. The
tribe was going away to where dire
necessity compelled them to go and
this pitable object, who had once
been a chief, and a man of distinc
tion in his tribe, who was now too
old to travel, being reduced to mere
skin and bones, was to be left to
starve or meet such death as would
fall to his lot and liis bones licked
by the wolves 1 lingered around this
poor old forsakened patriarch for
hours before we left, to indulge the
tears of sympathy which were flow
ing for the poor benighted and de
crepit old man, whose limbs, worn
out were no longer able to support
him, their kind and faithful office
having long since been performed
and his body and mind doomed to
linger into the withering agonies of
decay and gradual solitary death. I
wept and it was a pleasure to weep,
for the painful look and dreary pros
pects of this old veteran, whose eyes
were dimmed, whose venerable locks
were whitened by an hundred years
whose limbs almost naked and tremb
ling as he sat by a small fire, w hich
his friends had left for him. They
had left but a few sticks of wood
within his reach and a buffalo’s skin
stretched over his head as a tent.
This was to be his only dwelling and
such the chance for life with only
a few halt-picked bones and a dish
of water. He had no weapons for
defense and needed them not, for
he was not able to use them. His
friends and children had all left him
thus. He told them to go, that he
was old and too feeble to march.
That they were poor and it was nec
essary for them to go where meat
is plentiful. ‘My eyes are dim, my
strength no more, my days are

The Freak Legislator.
Every year sees the introduction
of freak bills into the legisaltures of
one or more states, bat the spring of
191.} seems to have capped the cli
max. The freak legislators have run
mad. Hardly a state has ecsaped. it
is the fashion of the press to poke
fun at Kansas, which may be depend
ed upon to come to the front with
something foolish in the way of leg
islation. And although the Sunflow
er state has lived up to her glowing
reputation in the present session,
her companions in the sorority of
states have not fallen, far behind.
Yost of the new laws have been in
troduced for purposes of prohibiting
something or other. Here are a few,
culled from one day’s exchanges.

Keep your hearts stout and think
not of me. I am no good for any

How cruel, the reader must say.
Think for a moment please, will you,
if you are indebted to an aged father
or mother You may not be so hard
but are there not little things you
have done or left undone that would
make a glad day for a sad one to
some aged person.
You are young and gay, stout and
happy and very thoughtless. Moth
er has spent hours doing for you
and it was no burden. Blit if you
lose an hour’s time from your sport,
how you complain.
Where there is love a burden loses
its weight. Now', boys and girls, if
you love your parents as you should
your first thought will be how' can
I act so as to give them the great
est pleasure.
