EX Came from Kentucky and Ran the Business of the Town "Some time ago," remarked a lawyer to a Louisville Courier-Journal writer, "I had occasion to visit Texas. I stopped at a little town one Saturday, about noon, intending' to remain there until Monday morning'. "The proprietor of the hotel was a gTay-haired fellow, well preserved, and apparently full of energy. I was con sequently not very greatly surprised when he informed me that he was also a lawyer. He had a big, stout wife, and it struck me that he could very well leave the hostelry to her while lie practiced law. He disappeared shortly after noon. "1 started out to see something of the little town, and, needing a collar, stopped in one or two dry goods stores to buy one. I must confess that I was somewhat staggered when I found that the hotelkeeper, besides being a law yer, was a clerk in a dry-goods store for it was he who smiled blandly at me over the counter. I extended my walk until night was falling', and as I ap proached the hotel who did I see light ing the oil lamps in the main street but the hotel proprietor! The next morn ing, which was Sunday, I inquired of him the way to church. 'Come on,' said he, 'I'll show you.' lie took me into the church and showed me a seat, after which he disappeared, saying he must go and ring the bell. In a few min utes it was pealing forth its pleading: 'Come, O, come, and soon the congre jgation had gathered. "I was prepared for anything al most, after what I had seen of mine host's versatility, and was not much surprised when he ascended the stairs of the pulpit and opened services. Then he came down again and manipu lated the keys of the wheezy little or--gan while the congregation sang. He "then took up the collection, after which he again resumed the pulpit "and preached as fine a gospel sermon as I ver heard. When services were over and the flock had been dismissed with a fervent prayer, the pastor closed up the church. " 'What sort of a man is Mr. So-and-so, anyhow?' I asked a lawyer. " 'Oh,' ho answered, 'he runs the town generally. He's killed a dozen men, more or less, and he is the best shot with the revolver in this part of the country. He's the best poker play er, too, I ever saw. He is from Ken tucky, too, " .-.. - -- - --. . HOPE FOR MANITOBA. A Winnipeg Man Thinks It Will Tet Be the Granary of the World. "If the horse could stand it," said a well-known resident of Winnipeg, Man itoba, to a reporter for the Washington Star, "a man could leave Winnipeg and ride one thousand miles west and north west over a level prairie before he would Xe obstructed by the mountains. This gives an idea of the great territory ly ing west of Winnipeg, which, to the eastern man, seems way out of the world. The soil of this prairie produces the finest spring wheat grown any where, and the enormous plain I've just mentioned will in a few years be the great granary of the world. Eastern people have a misty idea of our expan sive territory. We are just commenc ing to grow wheat compared to a de cade hence, though our crop two years ago was thirty million bushels. We have but little snow, and in the many years I resided in Manitoba I never saw the tops of the bright prairie grass covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat, and we are becoming a great cattle country. . While most of our settlors are from across the water, yet the number from the western states is yearly increasing. We have no wild west frontier scenes. There are no settlers killed over dis puted claims, as has been an everyday story in the west for years. Our home stead laws require a three years' resi--dence of six months each. Land may be preempted, too. Gold has been dis covered in wonderfully rich quartz de posits a few miles east of Winnipeg, and paying mills have just been erected by Minneapolis capitalists. I predict a "rush' to the Lake of the Woods district mext year. Winnipeg has thirty-five thousand inhabitants and is a thriving city. Our winters are cold, but we do not mind them. The atmosphere is dry and the days are clear, murky weather being almost unknown." Persons of sedentary habits often suffer with kidney affections. Sufferers from this weakening and dangerous disease, by a persistent use of Simmons' Liver Regulator, will restore the kidneys to their wonted health and vigor. A. Leader.

The work of preparation for the Ex position has now reached a point where the aesthetic ideas of the management are beginning to bear fruit. All the main buildings are practically finished, bo far as the details of construction are concerned, and now comes the matter of decoration. Charles Graham, the Well-known artist better known, per haps, in the East than in California on account of his extensive experience with the Harpers, and more recently with the Columbian Exposition has been ap pointed as director of color for the Mid winter Exposition, and to him falls the duty of superintending the decoration of the Exposition buildings. There has been made no effort in this connection to pattern after the Columbian Exposi tion. The term "White City" will never be appropriately applied to this Exposition. Mr. Graham's idea has been to let delicate tints predominate, and to so distribute and arrange these that the peculiar atmospheric effects of the California climate shall be utilized to enhance their harmony and increase their beauty. Warm tones are not par ticularly necessary in the decoration of any group of buildings in this glorious climate of California, and the darkness of background afforded by the almost black foliage is a magnificent setting for the delicate tints which are to pre vail. Some excellent effects have already been partially produced on the main buildings, although none of them are yet to be seen in the f ullnes3 of perfec tion. There will be a great deal of gold in the scheme of color, although not enough of it to give the architectural group the name of the " Golden City. The domes of the Administration build ing will be heavily gilded, and the west ern sun, striking full upon them, will undoubtedly play a very important part in the picturesqneness of the pano rama.. Mr. Graham says that several of the buildings of this Exposition sur pass in perfection of detail and architec tural development the buildings of the Columbian Exposition, and that in the line of opportunity offered for pictur esque and landscape effects, 4he like has never been seen in any exposition. The ornamentation of the grand central court is also receiving a great deal of attention just now. The elec trical fountain is being installed in one end, the basin for the allegorical fount ain is in place at the other, and the sculpture will soon be ready to be put in position. The electric tower has reached a third of its height, and two more weeks will see it completed. Eight or ten inches of rich loam has been spread over the entire surface of the grand plaza, and on it will be sown the seed of the flowers and foliage which are to make this the meet beau tiful spot in all the beautiful Golden Gate Park. There has already been transplanted to this grand parallelo gram a large number of bamboo plants and date palms that have been artisti cally distributed, and have made a favorable impression on the public, which warrants the assertion that the picture to be presented within the lines of the court, around which the main buildings are situated, will be one of surpassing loveliness. The Venetian masts, several hundred in number, which are to stand like a line of sol diery around this court, are already in position. These are to bear the flags of all nations by day, and electric arc lights at night; and between them the sun will shius upon long lines of parti-colored streamers, while the darkness of each succeeding night will be relieved by long lines of incandescent lights and fancy lanterns in the development of the carnival effects which have been contemplated in this connection. The work on the concessional build ings is proceeding satisfactorily. The exposition will be nearer ready on open ing day than has been the case 1 of any large exposition in the history of the world. The management of the Expo sition are to te particularly congratu lated on the fact that in the erection of the 70 odd structures within the Expo sition grounds, on which there has been an aggregate expenditure of nearly $1,000,000, there has, thus far, occurred no labor trouble, no accidents, and not even an alarm of fire. The programme for opening day has not yet been completed, but the cere monies wiU be of a character to war rant the unbottling of all the enthusi asm which San Francisco and the ad joining cities and towns have been get ing up for this occasion. It took the business men of San Francisco a long while to wake up to the importance of this Exposition, but there is no longer any room 'for criticism on this score, and it is safe to say that when opening day shall arrive the city will be more gaily decorated and its inhabitants will turn out more universally than on any other occasion that has marked the his tory of California. . A feature of the Exposition which has now been fully developed is that which is to include the display of citrus fruit from different parts of the state. There are in the state two citrus fair associa tions that of Southern California and that of 'the Northern citrus counties. Both these fairs will be held this yezx in connection with the Midwinter Ex position, and it will be interesting to Eastern people to know that these grand displays - of oranges and - lemons are made in the months of January and February. The management of the state citrus fair northern district has just announced its dates to be from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15, and that of Southern California will be on at the same time. In addition to . these . citrus displays Fresno county has completed arrange-, ments to erect a model of her court house to be constructed of oranges and raisins, so that Eastern visitors will see more wonderful displays of the golden fruit than has ever been made else where.
