Today has been children's day at the fair. And all the fair children of Zion have been there. Childish laughter echoed through the building build-ing all day. The little tots swarmed the avenues dividing divid-ing the exhibits and flooded the art galleries. They passed the art display with a furtive glance and nearly exploded with admiration while they watched the boy drummer of the Logan band. i The little legs which carried the impatient bodies from place to place were never still. They climbed up stairs. Then they climbed down again. Across the building they went to look at the candy display; then they trooped over to see the lightning artist; ar-tist; his adept fingers held them for a moment, mo-ment, then, as a current of air, they swept up the stairs. By and by, down they came and started for the kennel department. That's where the boys were at boms. My! How they longed to own a few of the dogs it wouldn't do, no boy would do that, long to own them all but if they could have, say half of them, wouldn't it be jolly? Tbe girls fancied the English pugs.
