THE LAKE SHOtt OTCWS. WttPAV, APRIL It, Ita SEEING THE PANAMA-PACIHC EXPOSITION 1 â-  'ft UTILE JAUNT WITH Wll "Uncle Sam" in Manila Hemp, all. My own regret by the fact that I met very attractive figures la this Of the furrow. They ware Un- it, dressed in a nit or manli* uch as la uaed in making bind- las twine, an Indian maid dad la a dresa made of ears of corn (she was la the Illinola aecUon) and Misses Martlnes and Maria i. Mar The first two. Uncle wars was, bat the ladies with the Spanish names rery much alive aad were In of the coffee plantation exhibit from Porto Rico. Girls aad Coffee. I was looking for the United States weather exhibit when I beard a soft voice asking If 1 would not have a cup of coffee. I turned to Had my self confronted by a charming young lady. I Immediately said I would have the coffee. I found myself In the Porto' Rico exhibit. Miss Margarida brought aw a dainty cup of the golden beverage while Miss Martinez sup- plied some wafers. I Immediately de- cided the exposition was a success. You see these young ladles were as modest as Aswan and at the same time as eager to convince you that Porto Rico and Porto Rico coffee were the two choice things of the that you could not help but be- ^very part of the country Js^havlng; lieve them. I became vary much Interested In the Porto Rico exhibit and Miss Mar- tinez was good enough to show ma the interesting features very care- fully. I never knew before that Porto Rico was one hundred miles longsnd thirty-eight miles wide; that It has a population of a million and an eighth; that It baa sixty-seven cities; that Ita chief city has a population of 60,000; and that the per capita pur- chases of .Porto Rico of American goods is over twelve times larger then those of the twenty-one repub- Ilea of Latin America. ! There was an excellent relief map of«*orto Rico and Miss Martlnes said this was made by the grammar school pupils of San Juan of the seventh and eighth grades. I was Interested to know about American rule in this Inland of the Antilles. Miss Martlnes ft ^=s wanted either to be or latit- at the United States. I that the Porto Rlcana ware all hut the hair of the young lady decidedly blonde I ventured to bar about It- She explained that father came from northern Spain. did many of the early emlgjraata tb# island, aad that the people from that part of the land of the Castil- lans were of light hair though true blondes, for their eyes ware erally brown. it Was Proa. When I tried to pay for the com I found It, was free, and I have e pbaslsed this exhibit because I hope when that flood of BvaJtatoniaai reaches here which la expected in the summer months, they will see this Il- lustration of what we gained whan wo annexed Porto Rico, enjoy a cup of coffee and meet these two young American women, who speak Span- ish, live far from the mainland of our country and are a new type of American girlhood, which withal re* tains the daintiness and refinement which we like to believe all our American girls possess. I eventually discovered the weather department bureau, which Is under the direction of the United States De partment of Agriculture., It would take a week to carefully see all it baa to show, but 1 was taken with the large colored map which shows each day exactly what kind of weather C.

The weather flags sdd color to this exhibit end a thorough study or everything here which the govern- ment 1s doing for the people Is a lib- eral education In itself. Among the numerous displays of the agricultural interests, the Holt Manufacturing Company, the Arm which makes the caterpillar farm machinery, has presented one which is giving Immense pleasure to visit- ors to the fsir. For their offices in the agricultural palace, they have erected an exact replica of a quaint English cottage which Is on the river Avon near the home of Shakespeare. There Is nothing lovelier at the fair.

A man in New York city spoke to me and I heard him as plainly as if he bad been in tbe same room with me. He was 3,400 miles away. He was on the Atlantic seaboard and I on the Pacific coast. Yet when he told me the time of day In New York and de- scribed the weather and read me tbe headlines in the afternoon papers ot that city, his voice was as natural and unstrained as If he Were the man sitting next to me. This privilege was extended to me by the American Telephone and Telegraph company, as It is extended to every visitor to the exposition. Cost Twice the Csnsl.

As we pass through the spacious doors of tbo Wasiiington state build- ;, we know at dnce that the people that northwest Pacific coast state spared no effort to Interest their uests with the products of the st ate. An unusual feature are two stuffed oxen mounted together with a prairie schooner wagon. They are Dave and Dandy, with whom Ezra Meeker made a trip across the continent some years ago in an effort to interest the coun- try in the historical preservation of the Oregon trail, the path by which the early settlers came to the western coast. In the cosy Montana building I found the custodian giving away Mackintosh reds. This is a in the morning.â€"Tlnr charm or tasty apple. The Kansas building is full of easy comfort and also the campaign literature ot Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey, who is a candi- date tor president-general of the Daughters or the American Revolu- tion. Mrs. Guernsey's picture Is on the wall and her printed matter ex- tensively on tbe tables. Evidently Kansas Is with tbe good lady in her ambitions. Of all the state buildings, tew have SB many With Whom it Ir favorite as the Maryland building, and deserved- ly so. Both without and within, It is a thing ot beauty and a joy forever. It is a replica of the, Carroll mansion, which was built by* Charles Carroll, the mat of the signers, for his eon. aad the original building la still stand- ing la Baltimore. The want room Is known aa the Colonial room and is furnished with ylacoheaa furniture, which la typical ot that shipped from England la the daya of Charles Stuart Tbo east room is arranged to represent taw revolutionary period aad la furnished in Chippendale fur- niture. It la ao wonder that tbo offi- cial commissioners on the grounds live in the building. One for Rapt If the California slate building, which naturally takes aa the propor- tions of one of tbe main buildings of the fan*, is first, then I suppose the Arkansas building must be dubbed the tall-ender. Not because the building representing that state Is not of high- class mien. It ia all that But it is empty and it la said U is to remain so. One or the men connected with an adjoining state building said that he had heard it was for sale. This, if so, is too bad. tor the building being completed and presumably paid for, it would seem aa if the state of Arkansas could muster the funds somewhere to pay for modest fur- nishings. I do not believe a guess that penny politics baa something to do with It would come far abort of tbe mark. The territorial buildings ot the United Statesâ€"Hawaii and the Phil- ippinesâ€"are popular, and both have characteristic exhibitions.

Everybody wsnta to see the Hawaiian Ash. They are living rain- bows. Think of fish of crimson with narrow white stripes or of blue with a purple collar about their necks. It Is useless to tell of them. No one would believe you unless they should see them for themselves.
