Every thing . went off without a single break. No one asked the slick-looking attendants for a strawberry sundae, the skeleton was only given ,re chew of tobacco, and the for tuneteller told only pleasant things. . ""But" seriously, anyone who missed peeing the displays has lost an edu cational opportunity. The mechan ical apparatus was explained to the visitors and the making of various medicines was shown.

There was the man who ex plained everything in great detail to his meek subdued wife and the fat lady who embarrased her meek and subdued husbaurl by breaking the lung power tester. In all it was a great thing and anyone who missed it had better getyeacfy Jto made p mends next year. Men Going to Camp Meet at Grand Hotel A dinner for nil the men who will attend the It. O. T.
