DUN A NTS, General Passenger Agent, 10 Market Street ? ?v?004MMiiM ti AGTS FOR WINE AND LIQUOR MERCHANTS Olympia Brewing Company Fair Will be Held in 1909. Owing to a slight rumor that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is going to be postponed caused by the recent financial lluny, the executive ' committee of the 1000 fair has passed the following resolution: "It is the unanimous sense of the members of^ the executive committee that the Ala^- ' ka-Yukon-PaciHc Exposition be held at the place and time hitherto planned ?Seattle, U. S. A., from June 1 to October 13, 1000. ' The contract for another large ex hibit palace, tho Agriculture building, has been let for ?81,830. Six of tho main buildings will soon be well under way. The manufactures building is progressing rapidly. t The executive committee announces I bat there is plenty of money on hand with which to carry on the work and that money for stock is coming in all the time. Word received from Washington, D. C., from Vice President John II. Mc GravsT, Director of Exploitation Henry E. Eeed, indicates that Congress is looking with favor on the exposition. The appropriation hill will soon come r\ up for consideration. The government has asked for more ground space than was originally alloted to it. The management of the Exposition has secured the services of Col. Ilenry E. Dosch, of Portland, Oregon, as director of the division of exhibits. The exhibits department is being organized and prospective exhibitors can now receive information in regard to space by applying to Col. Dosch. Already many large firms throughout the country have applied for space. Col. Dosch represented the State of Oregon as commissioner at New Orleans, Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo, Charlestown and at the Fifth Inter national Exhibition held at Osaka, Japan, in 10u.">, he was commissioner from tho State of Oregon and Lewis and Clark Exposition. The directors of the Japanese exposition recognized Col. DOsch's ability as an "exposition ist," and placed him in charge of all foreign exhibits. His services were recognized by tho emperor of Japan, who decorated him with the medal of the chevalier of the sacred treasure. Col. Dosch was also given a diploma of merit for bis services at tlj? Osaka Exposition. It bears the signature of the Mikado aud the royal seal. Col. Dosch was also commissioner general to the Louisaua Purchase Exposition for the Lewis and Clark fair. Both Dutch. ?;< Faulenzer Fritz, with his mouth wide open, stood looking at the animals iu a meuagerie. "Want a job?" said the manager to Fritz, "l*a,M answered Fritz. "All riyht, our tiger died a month ago and we want you to fix ufjj ^ iu his skin and take his place." The trouble begun when tho attendant wanted to put Fritz in the cage with1* the lion. "Dormer and Blitzen" said Fritz, mein arme frau uud der kleine Fritz!" "Get iu there Bismark," yelled the keeper in a loud Irish brogue "or I thrust this spear through you." So> poor Fritz was hustled iuto the cage with the lion and when he saw the lion's big ferocious eyes fixed upon him Fritz uttered a pitiful wail and begun to pray iu regular Dutch, "Got mit-uns, etc." "Iloch dcr Kaiser," zwei mal, whispered the king of beasts. There was ouce a mule in a large field that refused to bo caught by its owner. Round and round the field the mule galloped. The owner tore along behind, red and angry, swinging a halfer in his hand and swearing pas sionately. The mule would let him draw near enough to throw the halter over his head; then it would kick up its legs merrily and run away like the wind. A boy, his face wreathed in smiles, watched the unequal chase for an hour or so. Then he entered the field and said: "I'll tell you how to catch that mule, mister, if you give me a nickel." "All right," panted the man; "here's '< your nickefl. Now tell me." "Get behind that thick hedge over there,' said the boy, 'and make a noise like a carrott." Lilly. ? "Oh, I wish to goodness the Lord had made me a man." Milly.? "Maybe He has, but you haven't found hini yet." Hosey.? "What did you say when he asked your age?" Posey._-"l told him the truth." Rosey. ? "What was that?" Posey .?"That it was none of his business." She (showing him a photo of herself as a baby on her mother's arm) ? Look, this is me, eighteen years ago.
