Upon these 1,240 acres has been built an as semblage of edifices surpassing in archi tectural splendors "the grandeur that was tlreece ami the glory flint was Home." Within these buildings is being installed a universal collection of tlie products of nature and mnn, more com prehensive, more diversified, more inter e.;ting to the average human than ever was attempted before in tlie history of the ince. The World's Fair at St. Louis is far greater than was contemplated by its creators. It has been estimated that at j least thirty per cent of the extent of this exposition has hern added to the original conception, the promoters of tlie enter prise merely prnmising at the outset that they would build an exposition larger and more universally inclusive than any predecessor. The enterprise has grown by involuntary accretion. Like a snow ball bet rolling, it has gathered size and solidity, until It now is crystallized into a thing of such immensity that even the men who set the hall a-roliing marvel at its magnitude.

The Intramural Hallway, op- erated by electricity, which lias just been completed, has fourteen miles of track; It runs around the exposition as a belt line, with loops to take passengers into the midst of tlio magnificence here nml there, .and there are seventeen stations at which tlie sightseer may get aboard or alight. !

Features of l'.nor 0101m Mnunltude. Another feature of enormous magni tude which no other exposition has known, even on a small scale, is the Philippine Islands Exposition aptly termed an exposition within on exposi tion. This occupies forty acres and in cludes a group of buildings having names familiar to those of the main exposition Education, Agriculture, Ethnology, Government and the like. One thousand natives of the islands will live in this Filipino reservation during the World's Fair, carrying on the occupations in which they engage at home, so that the general visitor may observe here iu St. Louis a considerable hit of the life and enterprise of tho far-off archipelago. A leproduction of a part of the walled city of Manila is one of the interesting fea tures of this enterprise, and there are hula anil shacks and large buildings con structed by the natives themselves, of native bamboo ami nipa, and outfitted with native household utensils and fur niture.

The United States government is rep resented as never before. There is a main Government building iu which all the administrative and executive depart ments ot tho government will show ex hibits, and the Smithsonian Institution ami other governmental enterprises of general interest will have space. There is a separate building devoted to fisheries. in which the United States Fisli Com mission is to make au exhibit of living lislies nnd other water foods and com mercial products, from the minnow to the whale. There is an Indian exhibit with a separate building, wherein will be . . . r f - -A I'aLAI Ub 1,11.1.11. .1, Alllk. (Corner entrance.

Tho Alas ka exhibit will astonish the world, in tliowiug the marvelous agricultural re sources of Uncle Sam's "farthest north" territory. The government also has ex tensive exhibits of the life-saving ser vice, the army nnd navy armament and vessels, tho Bureau of Plant Industry, t!e Agricultural College, forestry and oilier branches of Industry and enter prise. A ground map of the United States, covering several acres and show ing each State growing its most distinc tiie crops, is one special feature. Forty-seven States and territories of the United States are participating In the fair. All but thres or four of theso have separate buildings. Some of ths State buildings are as large and elegant as exhibit palaces at an ordinary exposi tion. More than fu.000.000 is the aggre gate of appropriation for State and terri tory participation. Filty foreign gorernmenta are taking pint in this World's Fair. Most of them will have buildings of their own. Many of these foreign buildings are completed and others are going up rapidly. Ger many, Urest Britain, France, Japan, Hussia, Brazil, Belgium and other ua tluns hnve erected buildings larger and mora ornate than any foreign govern ment structures ever seen at an exposi tion ALL OVER THE WORLD.

The Veterans of tbe Rebellion Tell of Wblatltnic Hulleta, IirlKht Bayonets, Bursting Bombs, Bloody Battles, Camp Fire, Kestire Bna-, Etc., Ktc In the days of the Civil War. espe cially after the beginning of '02. there were stirring time In the "north coun try," or those portions lmrdeiinj: upon Canada. Weat Ktewnrtstown, N, II.; Boccher Falls, Vt., nnd the township of Here ford, I. Q.. are those most freciuently mentioned In the tales of the sixties as having been the scenes of bloody encounters nnd such wholesale smug gling as to render them more closely patroled by the government than al most any other points uiioti the border. When tho boys In blue were lighting for their country the recruiting wr gennts found It necessary to "draft" soldiers to enter the struggle between the north nnd the south, nnd they scoured the country for able-bodied men who had not come to the front voluntarily. Those men. who were to be forced Into fight ngalnst their will, rebelled, and largo numbers of them mado their escape "over the line" Into Canada. At that time, when good mads were not ns frequently seen ns now, the main arteries of travel in the north country were the roads to Canada on lwth sides of the Connecticut river In Vermont and New Hampshire. It was a common occurrence for a man who had lioen drafted to make his escape from home during the night nnd drive nt a mad pace up river to Canada, where, once over the border, he could not be touched by Uncle Sam's officers. Some of these men Journeyed nil the way from Massachu setts and Connecticut, taking roads off the main line, slinking through the woods by day, sleeping in barns or haystacks at night and begging or buying here and there, at wayside farms, food and drink for their suste nance. Over 100 of the men who held their own safety dearer than their coun try's honor went to Hereford nnd Te quettsville alone, and were dubbed by the residents of Canada, who had small sympathy for them, by the sug gestive epithet of "skedaddlers." Here, once safely over the line, they "squatted," and built for themselves from logs, fence rails or a few dollars' worth of lumber, quaint little huts, barely large enough to accommodate them and their belongings.' In pasture nnd forest they built up their settle ment, and even now nn occasional "skodaddler's hut" may be seen, slow ly rotting away. Some of the men who had surlicient money clubbed together and built log houses, which are still standing in Pcquettsville, a part of Hereford. The huts were built In curious shapes, some being octagonal, other triangular, still others hexagonal. Square ones and round ones were frequently seen, and some of the" men exercised great in genuity In the building of their tem porary abodes. Once In a while a wigwam-shaped but may be seen, built around the trunk of a large spruce or pine tree, the branches of which served to keep off the wind and rain. Very often one might have seen a couveyance loaded with blankets and provisions, driven by the wife of one of tlie "skedaddlers," drive up to the Hue. The husband would be In wait ing, quickly snatch the supplies and dart to the other side of the little granite sign-post that divided the Uni ted States from the Queen's dominions. Here, once past tho post, all the detec tives In the States were powerless to touch htm, nnd be might visit all the afternoon with his wife, who generally kept her side of tlie line with im punity. Boston Herald. Stories of Loiiirstrect and Gordon. "General Gordon," said the Major, "told a story well, and lie bad many good stories to tell. Long liefore he took the lecture field I heard him tell a story In Washington which went the rounds of the newspapers ut thnt time nnd brought bliu closer to the men who wore the blue In the Civil Wnr. "Gordon wns speaking of the depres sion of tbe men In tho ranks of Lee's army between the fall of Richmond and the surrender at Appomattox. The men did not lose courage, but were not as they had been. One day, riding along the road, the General came upon a regimental prayer meet ing, which was very impressive. The men were kneeling or standing with bowed heads about the chaplain, who was praying in a voice of wonderful compass. "The General checked bis horse and removed his hat nnd waited for the end of the prayer. The chaplain asked tne Ixird to give the men of Lee's army supreme courage to meet the great crisis that had come upon them, fortitude to bear new privations and troubles, strength to fight against the pursuing enemy. Just then a tall pri vate rose from his knees and shouted to the chaplain: 'Pray for bread, chnp laln, pray for bread. We have cour age to burn, but to fight we must have something to eat. Pray for bread.' This broke up the prayer meeting. ' "General Longstreet used to tell a good many stories to show that the men of his command always treated captured Union soldiers with as much consideration and kindness as was pos sible under tho circumstances. He said that bis orders on this point were very strict, and he never knew nny of his men to disobey. As be went on to explain how proud he was of the record of bis meu on this point a lis tener employed In one of the depart ments at Washington Interrupted him. " 'Undoubtedly your orders were strict. General." he said, "but I bap pen to know that they were evaded. For example, In East Tennessee you ordered your men to respect the be ' longings of prisoners, and this Is the way some of them did It. I wore a good pair of army shoes, nearly new. One day a good-natured fellow in gray with no shoes to speak of walked along our line looking Intently at the shoes of tbe captured Unionists. He put his foot by tbe side of mlue, and, remark lag that I was just bis size, added, "Old Pete (Longstreett says he will have every man shot who steals nuy ; thing from n prisoner. To s.ivo my ; life, won't you trade shoes with me. . for I must have Ihem shoes." Of j course . traded, ns did oilier prlson I ers.

Gordon Sit. tiers' Idol, All Incident of the mustering out of volunteers at Savannah, Gn., after the Spanish-American war shows how the rank and lile of the army felt toward General John B. Gordon. He had been In command of a brigade, but had been discharged anil was ngaln a citizen of the republic. One of his regiments, the Sixth Missouri, wns in camp at Savannah waiting to be mustered out of the service. While the men were ready to Inflict any insult on the olli cers of their own regiment, they loved General Gordon. In their desire to show admiration for him they collected a filed and money was not plentiful nt that time to purchase a jeweled sword for the old Confederate who had won the nf fectlens of Northern boys while a gen eral in commaud. The weapon was bought'. It was a fine piece of work manship and wuvild have appealed to any soldier. When time came for the presentation, the rank and file of the regiment met, elected a private as col onel, and placed privates in every other place commonly occupied by commis sioned oflicers. The private, who had never been able to win even a corporal's stripes, sat his horse with tho grace of a West Pointer iind commanded the com panies and battalions with tbe case of a regular army officer. In this style the boys marched five miles to town, and halting In front of General Gor don's old home, asked him to come out on bis veranda. As he stood there, looking the fine citizen he was, the soldiers broke Into cheers. After the sword had been placed In his hands he Invited the sol ders Into his house, and every man found some refreshment there, such was the general's preparation to en tertain any who happened to cross Ills threshold. General Gordon's place In the af fections of the private soldiers was not won by nny sacrlfl.-e of official dignity, but simply because all hnnds recog nized In blm the goodness of heart and the character that cannot be hid by a soldier's uniform or developed by any other garb.
