BEAUTIES OF
Charleston’s Great Exposi
tion Is Now In Full Bloom
of Its Beauty.
A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
Relying Absolutely Upon Their Own
Resources, the People of the "City
by the 8ea* Have Created the Most
Complete, Symmetrical and Beautiful
•how Our Country Has Ever Known
Except World's Fair at Chicago.
Some good and thoughtful people
think that we are having too many ex*
positions; that the subject Is exhaust
ed, their usefulness at an end. Hut
these good people are in the minority,
and the great majority of our citizens,
considering the wealth of our favored
nation, our 80.00o,000 inhabitants, the
f' Infinite variety of our products and
the diversity of our Interests, think
that we may well afford an exposition
In somo section of our country at least
once a year. In no other way can
the people of one part of the land tie-
come acquainted with the progress,
peculiarities and necessities of the oth
er. So at least think tne good citizens
of Charleston and South Carolina, and
they have proved their faith by mighty
works. Relying absolutely upon their
own resources, without the fed&ral aid
so freely granted to other communi
ties no whit more deserving, they
have created the most complete, sym
metrical and beautiful show that our
country has yet known, saving only
the World's Fair at Chicago. It marks

of tha landscape gardener and the arch)

soft green grass, gleaming statuary,

monious delicately tinted colors of the
stately buildings, to make a picture
ever pleasing and never to ho forgot

modem adaptation of old Spanish
architecture and on every hand may b,
found suggestions of old Madrid, Sev
ille and Barcelona. The central tea
turn, the Court of Palaces, contains 1.
(150,000 square feet of floor space.
Built In horseshoe shape about the
lovely Sunken Garden, with Its lake,
bridges and fountains, this Court Is aa
audacious and singularly successful
conception of the architect. The Pal
aces are three In number—the Cotton
Palace, tha hugest of the three
Palace of Agriculture and the Palace
at Commerce. The visitor whs enters
at one end of the shoe, and traversing
the three great bulldlnis, with their
attendant colonadea and exaedrae,
passes out at the other end, will have
walked an honent mile and have seen.
In panoramic view, the products ot

such state exhibits as those of Louisi

A Lovely Prospect
Standing In the kjosk in front of the
Auditorium, where tho band plays
these sunny afternoons, one may look
far across to tho gleaming waters of
the Ashley and see through tho trees
the shlnglng facade of the Woman’s
building, an ancient residence, but In
perfect repair, which was once the
home of tho William Lowndes of Rev
olutionary fame. As the eye follows
the course of the river It rests In suc
cession upon the shining porch of the
Illinois building, the red roof over the
home of Cincinnati!, the Negro build
ing, so full of suggestion and cbmfort
for the philanthropist and tho states
man; the handsome house built by the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
pany, and then rests with Infinite sat
isfaction upon the stately facade of
the Art Palace, with Its priceless con
tents; then on to the spangled dome,
the graceful columns and long white
porch of Philadelphia's building and
the charming liispanoGreclan nrchl-
have all contributed to Its stores. For
tbe historian, here are priceless vol
umes, ancient documents, rare por
traits. For the .antiquarian, a very
mine of relics that can be found no
where else. For the patriot here Is
abundant food for pride In a land
which can produce so much and prom,
lae so much more. For tho young
there Is Inspiration and Infu,umlion.
For the old. Infinite satisfaction,
man, least of all a southern man, in
justice to himself, can afford to mist
this greatest of southern Expositions.

clinched lips he kept back the cry
of pain. The King Gustavue
Adolphus, who saw the boy fall,
prophesied that the boy would
make a man for an emergency
He did, for he became the famous
General Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers
to get their color, and painted the
white side of his father’s cottage
in the Tyrol with all sorts of pic
tures, which tbe mountaineers
gazed at as wonderful. He was

An old painter watched a little
fellow who amused himself mak
ing drawings of his pot and brash-
easel aud stool, and said;
-'That boy will beat me one day ”
He did, for be was Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a
blood-and-thunder novel. Right
in the midst of it he said to him

here it goes I” And he flung the
book out iuto the river. He was
