Little Lassie Charges Purchases to Santa Claus-Death of Mis. Robert C. Davey. New Orleans, La., Nov. 14, 1906. Staff Correspondence of The Chief. "Coming events cast their shadows before," and if you have any doubt of the truth of that saying, you want to take a-peep into the Canal street stores and guess how near Christmas is. Toys, toys, toys, and still more toys, silver knick-knacks and all the other signs which never fail to blossom out at this particular season of the year are making their appearance in win dows and upon center counters, and even this early in the game the holi day spirit begins to manifest itself right merrily. The other day I went out shopping with a friend of mine who was accompanied by her mite of a daughter, and this little lassie, hear ing her mother's oft repeated instruc tions to various clerks to "charge that, please," wanted to know what was meant by that particular phrase. Her mother explained it to her, and after a while the diminutive damsel wandered off to the toy department of the store we happened to be in, while her mother and I proceeded to buy out the rest of the establishment. That evening at dinner she made the an nourcement to her Papa that she had "buyed a whole lot of fings at Holmes' store to-day." Papa said, "Indeed!" and wanted to know what they were. "Oh," said she, "a bu'ful wed auto mobile, a drate big dollie, a luv'ly lit tle parlor set, a weal stove what you kin cook on, a wocking horse, a piano, a-" "Here, here, here!" exelaimed her highly amused parent, "Who paid for all that?" "Oh, I had 'em charged," announced Miss Precocious, airily. That's where Mother sat up and took notice. "Charged!" she re peated in horrified amazement, "and to whom?" "Why, to Santa Claus!" replied the youngster, and she is won daring yet why everybody laughed. Dr. L. L.

ANOTHER WORLD'S FAIR. Alaska-Yadcon-Pacific Exposition to be Held at Seattle, Washington-Will Exploit Alaska and Promote Oriental Trade. An international exposition is to be held at Seattle, Wasjiington, in the summer of 1909. It will be known as the Alask a-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and will aim primarily to exploit the resources of the little-known north land. The enormous sum of $10,000,000 will be invested in the enterprise. The United States bought Alaska in 1867 for 87,200,000, the purchase being made principally for the sake of doing a good turn to Russia, which country had been faithful to the United States during the civil war. Since that time, the government's revenues from Alaska have aggregated more than $10,000,000, and the country is just $1,500,000 ahead on the Alaska deal, according to figures supplied by Sec retary Taft. Alaska has produced more than $100,000,000 worth of gold, and the fur output since 1870 represents a total value of 880,348,762. There are mil lions of acres of land available for set tlement, and farming will be the prin cipal industry as soon as better trans portation facilities bre secured. It has been demonstrated that all sorts of vegetables and the hardier grains will grow in the northland, while the in land valleys are excellently adapted to stock raising. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific E-posi tion will bring together in trade the shores of the Pacific. Nine hundred million people-more than half the pop ulation of the globe-live in the Orient. Yet the trade between the Orient and the United States is not large, and that with the tropical Orient is not inureas ing. Through the medium of exhibits, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition will teach buyer and seller what each needs. Seattle citizens have already taken up $650,000 worth of stock in the enter prise. This subscription was' secured in one day, and amounted to more than $3 for every man, woman and child in the ty. No city ever .before raised so large an amount for any pur pose in so short a time. The state of Washington will appro priate 81,000,000 for the fair, and the federal government will be asked to contribute a like amount. State par ticipation will be on a large sc le, and the displays made by the western com monwealths will be elaborate and in teresting. Manufacturers from every part of America and from abroad will show their wares. Participation by foreign countries will be confined to those which border on the Pacific ocean or have dependencies there. It is assured that the representation which these nations will make will ex cel the showings made at all earlier world's fairs. Seattle, the New York of the Pacific coast, is located on the shore of Puget Sound. The greatest ships of the world ride at anchor beside her miles of wharves, and skyscrapers crowd one another on her business thorough fares. The city Is growing so fast that census takers fail to keep pace. The population now exceeds 200,000, having more than doubled Since the census of 1900. The exposition site has been chosen and laid out by John C. Olmstead, the famous landscape architect. It em braces 250 acres of the University of Washington campus, and is pictu resquely situated on the shore of Lake Washington, within the city- limits, and distant 20 minutes by Street gar from the business center.
