Memories of the World's Fair. 



While governments and races have become extinct, man 

 has moved steadily upward, constantly improving physically, 

 morally and intellectually. In all that makes life worth living, 

 the intelligent wage-earner of today gets more out of life than 

 the rulers of kingdoms at the time of the signing of the Louisi- 

 ana Purchase treaty. To the innumerable visitors, gathered 

 from all quarters of the globe these buildings have given an 

 indelible object lesson that will increase in value every year 

 of their lives. Art, architecture and sculpture will disappear 

 with the summer flowers, but their lineaments and proportions 

 will survive as long as life lasts in the memories of the mil- 

 lions who have studied and admired them. 



Coming after so many others, this exposition has had many 

 advantages over all others, and no one can wander around 

 among those palaces, reared with Aladdin-like magic, without 

 admitting that it is the greatest of them all.
