Mr James reports tbat tbe St Louis Exposition ia tbe greatest show on earth, and tbat there are no restric tion! on grafter.

Among other interesting aud emue- inn incidents, Mr James tells of a tisit be and bia wife made, while at the Fair, to see tbe sknll of John tbe Baptist, for whiob tbe paid the sum of twenty Ave cents per capita. While they were listening spellbound to she wouderful story of tbe "speller" oon- oerning tbe skull; tbe Immense amount of money it cost to put it on exhibition at tbe Bt Louis Fair; bow and when it was taken from the tomb by relatives and retained in their poe- eesion tor ages; bow it would be an exhibit at this fair only, and at no other in lime to oome while all Ibis waa going on, an old lady pushed ber way through the crowd and told tbe tbe fakir that she did not believe that it was tbe skull of John tbe Baptist, The speiler assured ber tbat she waa mistaken, for tbe skull he bad on ex. bibition was surely tbe skull of John tbe Baptist. Tbe old lady then told . him tbat be was not celling the triitb, for there was another man at the other end of the gronnda who had Just show, ed ber tbe skull of John the Baptist The ready wit of the grafter was exhi bited when be replied "Ob, tbe skull exhibited at tbe otber end of tbe grounds is the skull of Joan tbe Bap. tut when he was a boy."
