One summer morning a piggy-wee-wee Chose to be as naughty as naughty could Slipped through a crevice and ran far away Out on the lawn where the roses bloom ed gay, Meaning to have the best kind of time Munching the grasses and clover so fine, Just os he pleased, without any to say What he should play with or where he should play. Ah, but alas for this same piggy-wig! Bpying a tempting green sweetbrier •prig Laden with bloom, he determined to * smell. Never considering if it were well, Till a cross honey bee, seeking repose, Gave him a sharp little sting on the noeo. Oh how he squealed as to mother ho fled! "Bees never come here!" was all that she said. Out of our place, at work qr at play. Oiees we may meet on each roso by the way. Which, if we rouse and persistently fret.

Either by letter or through the columns of The Constitution on the Junior page, and as 1 scarcely ever see a letter from a cousin from t is dear old state, West Vii ginia, or the Switzerland of America, I will try to interest, you tor a while, if 1 can find space lu the column lor a letter like this. 1 will try to tell you southern girls and boys 'something about this little town. It is right in the famous Flattop mountains v/liere tower the lofty moun tain peaks, hi inio k, spruce, pine and all other kinds of forest giants, and the principal products of this country are coal, coke, iron and lumber. Mining is the chief industry. I will try to interest you cousins more in my next letter if this one meets with favorable results. Correspondence soliei ted. Mary Wright, Moorefield.

Leslie L. Stilwell, Griffin, Ga.—Dear Junior: I will try and compose a piece on “Our Great Fair Next Year.” April 30 will be the one hundredth anniversary of the Louisiana purchase, and it will be celebrated by the president of the United States at the dedicatory exercises of the world's fair at St. Louis, which ; will be opened next year. The fair Itself is in commemoration of tlie purchase whereby the vast territory of Louisiana became a part of the United States. It included what are now the states and territories of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, lowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Louisiana. It was the most impor tant peaceful transfer of land perhaps that was ever made. It contains the great garden granary of the world. This vast empire cost us $15,000,000, a sum that will not pay for tho grounds and buildings of the great fair that will cele brate its purchase. The fair Is planned on a bigger scale than any of its predecessors. It will cover a space a mile wide and two miles long; there are now going up fifteen great exhibit liuililings, besides which there will be hundreds of subsidiary buildings of foreign countries and of states of the union. The great buildings are arrange .1 in fan shape and eight of them are so grouped as to be seen at once. Their construction is now going on at a cost of half a million a month. The fund with which the fair started consisted of 55.0C0.000 from private sub scriptions, $5,000,000 from the city of St. Louis and 35,000,000 from the United States government. Including the build ing expenditures that will be made by thirty or more, states and by foreign governments and great corporations, the cost wiil be so great as to dwarf the cost of any preceding fair. The United States government exhibit will cost $!,- 500.000. Japan will spent! $1,000,000, 'and China, will for the first time take part in a world's fair. So large a. space will permit what every great fair has wTshed for, but none has achieved—an exhibition of processes. Hitherto wo have had exhibitions of products. But at St. I,onis th.-re will be room nnd power enough for machinery, great and small, to bo in operation. Thousands of the most ingenious machines which will make delicate and beautiful tilings will be in operation. The instruction of such a fair will be "alive." not "dead.” It will boa groat object lesson in industry and evervbody who can should attend ft. The "show” features, such as electri cal displays on land and on water: a groat contest of flying machines; land scape, flowers, forest, architecture—all these, nre included in the generous plan; but the possessor of skill and precision . i-fl r o'-isl whert ny we have won the in <’u.--tri:il supremacy of the world, will make the fair, in d’greo to which this plan shall ho carried out, the most in structive exhibition ever seen. What a hundred venrs of tinman history have ncoomnlish"! v-m bo thus told on tho banks of tho river that Jefferson bought for a pittance nnd that many great statesmen of the time thought a useless ;i: 1 foolish bargain.
