Every nation in the world will be represented, and a trip here will be a liberal education in itself. I certainly hope that every reader of "The Union" will take my advice and go to the Fair, even if they can spend but a few days there. It will be the event of a lifetime, and no one should deny themselves this much of the pleasures of the world, even if they have to deny themselves in some other direction. By all means make up your minds right now that you are going to the St. Louis World's Fair, and begin saving for that purpose right now, if necessary.

And don't fail to give the boys and girls an opportunity to go. They will learn more here in a week than they will in school in a year, I wish I could make this strong enough so that every reader of this paper would make up his mind to see the World's Fair, for I am sure every one who comes will agree with WESTERN CANADA HAS AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE. The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly Favored. An Interesting feature of Western Canada is its climate. Those who have made a study of it speak highly of it.

The Canadian Government Agents are sending out an Atlas, and at the same time giving valuable information concerning railway rates, to those interested In the country. As has been said, the climate is ex-cellent. The elevation of this part of Canada is about 1,800 feet above the sea, about twice that of the average for Minnesota. It is a very desirable altitude. The country has a very equable climate taking the seasons through.

The winters are bright and the summers are pleasantly warm. F. Stupart, director of the meteorological service for Canada, says: "The salient features of the climate of the Canadian northwest territories are a clear, bracing atmosphere during the greater part of the year, and a medium rainfall and snowfall. The mean temperature for July at Winnipeg la 66, and Prince Albert 62. The former temperature is higher than at any part of England, and the latter is very similar to that found in many parts of the southern countries." At Prince Albert "the average daily maximum in July is 76 and the minimum 48.

Owing to this high day temperature with much sunshine, the crops come to maturity quickly. Moisture is ample in the Saskatchewan valley, being about 18 inches annually. It is notable that about 75 per cent of the moisture falls during the crop months. Thus, Western Canada gets as much moisture when it is needed and with several hours more sunshine dally than land further south gets during the growing season, it is not difficult to understand why crops mature quickly and yield bountifully. Winter ends quickly, sowing is done during April and sometimes in March.

Harvest comes in August, about the middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and 6and storms are unknown. fx I i itfL J-f-XA 1 hit r4 Lv fT if- Mr. E. E.

Stevens, editor of the Minneapolis Union, visited the World's Fair at St. Louis a few days ago, and the following letter in the Union describes in part what his impressions were: To Readers of "The I have been through the World's Fair grounds again to-day for the third time since coming to St. Louis last week, and every day the wonder within me grows. I had Imagined from the descriptions that the management intended to eclipse anything ever before attempted, but I had no idea of the tremendous size, the magnificent designs, the splendid settings, and the artistic beauty of the buildings. I was somewhat prepared to see something of the ordinary, but my mind had by no means grasped the splendors which will be open to the visitors to the World's Fair this summer.

Of course the grounds and the 'buildings at this time are in a chaotic state, and the weather was unpropitious for pleasant visiting, but even with these drawbacks, and with nothing but the bare and in many cases but partially finished buildings to be seen, the Copyright, 1004, by Louisiana Purchase grounds are well worth traveling hun dreds of miles to see, even as they are. This being the case, what will be when everything is completed and when nature has, combined with art to make this the fairest vision ever seen by mortal eyes. It would be presumptuous on my part to attempt to give a description of the grounds or of the buildings, and when I attempt a description I am at a loss for words and can only repeat, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." The grounds are a natural beauty spot, and with the addition of the buildings, the statues, fountains, the lagoon, the cascades, and all the cunning contrivances of art, the will be one which will never be forgotten, even If one should not go inside the buildings at all. And then the inside of the buildings- buildings covering acres and acres of ground, and stretching out for what seems to be interminable distances when these are filled with the works of nature, of art, of science and of skill from every portion of the known world, who would be so foolish, as to miss it? I would make it compulsory upon every parent who can afford to do so, AMUSED MEN OF MONEY. Conductor Forgot His Audience In His Earnestness.

Some of these unique statues are colossal in size and large sums of money were expended in their making. Birmingham, has built statue of Vulcan.

Congressman the boyish-looking man from Georgia, has had the experience that has befallen other youthful statesmen. He was standing close to the speake'r's desk one day when one of the reading clerks, mis taking him for a page, said: "Run and bring me that paper that la lying on Gen.

West Pembroke, March 21 "Mrs. A. L. Smith of this place, says that Dodd's Kidney Pills jire the best remedy for growing girls. Mrs.

Smith emphasizes her recommendation by the following experience: "My daughter was thirteen years eld last November and it is now two years since she was first taken with Crazy Spells that would last a week and would then4ass off.

"The doctors gave us no encouragement, they all said they could not help her. After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad SDell.

Of course, we contin ued the treatment until she had used in all about a dozen boxes, and we Btlll give them to her occasionally, when she Is not feeling well.

It was nothing less than a well-preserved and thoroughly authenticated tailor's bill nearly 5,000 years old.
