grounds, under the shadow of the gilt
dome of the Invalided. Von have stood
on the steps of t.u* Tro* itb ro and g /• t
on the bewildering vista a little of *v* 1
thing in your vision: towering Bu-slan

more weird designs than ever j* ople.l in
inebriate's dream; the Ferris wheel dis
organizing. the distant skyline, and th**
mighty Eiffel tower, only 1 few hundr* •
yards away, looking as if i were only
by accident that its summit is not curled
in clouds. Just he low you rin see speci

Yes. von may have seen ill this in your

some notion cf what the big exfwsltion is

tourist's fancy, from wlna-ever he may
come. Divested <>f th 1 aieh-penny char
acteristics of the Trocadero section, it

barbaric chants, no torturing tintinna
bulations of oriental cymbals or drums;
neither are you cajoled by greasy-hued
men to step inside .and gaze upon the gy
ration* of veiled dan **rs. nnd you no long

lost in on archipelago of side-shows. All
these things belong elsewhet* .
From whichever side you look at it. the
colony of he countries makes- a brilliant
picture. Viewed from the river it i- cap

"I hate to get mad on a fishing trip,”
gays my friend, who has just comet down
from Cobliosre?. “When a fellow gets
mad on a flshir.g nip he fe 1* that he
isn’t carrying out tlie principles of Uncle

“Three Boston men hove been occupying

been over once, and they seemed to he the
right sort. Had a 'first-rate commissaiy

“One pietty windy day vve were fishing
across about two miles from them. Ev
erything was quiet on the Cobbossee. Sud
denly from the direction of their boat
there come one of th** most terrible how a
I ever heard. As 1 looked I could see lo h
men sp’ashing in the water.
” ‘Great heaven!* said my guile, ‘them
two Boston fellows have gone overboard.’
“We could see the third man dan ‘in r
up and down on the piazza of Ihe hod
and waving h's arms. We could h :ir even
his howis. But in the direction of the
boat oil was still. The guide an 1 Is ii
never a word, bur we cut avvoy lie* •1 v

we grabbed our paddles and st.u k away
for the s?ene of disaster.
“I never paddled so hard in a;l my life.
I paddled till my tpeth grated in my
mouth. I paddled till my arms *iackel.
till my eyeballs hung out lik* 1 lobster’s.
I paddled till my 1 cih grated and tny
lungs felt as though 1 had swal.ovvel a
nutmeg groter.
“One—-of the men,’ gasped the guide,
‘has—swum—off -toward the- eftntp.’
“ 'Cnn you—see —the other?’ 1 gulped
between strokes.
“ ’No,’ said the guide. ‘He must have
gone down.’
“And then we paddle*! all the harder.
Oh, how we did hang to the ash. It seem
ed as though my lingers denied the wood.
The sweat ran down into my eyes until I
could hardly see. The guide was just a ;
bad off as 1.
“So i> happen'd that we got onto the
canoe before we saw the o li* r man. He
was on the side opposite from a .
“As we came foaming up he bobbed hi*
head out. and then, tread’ng Wiiar. he
raised himself up. and easily threw a leg
over ihe bottom of the canoe.
“ ‘He’D, fitends,’ said he. ‘M ini'd if
