portrait done in craNon. II was after
n photograph II years old. 1t had
been done by the Office boy in Mr..
Rowscr's Office. He was an Office boy
without lazy hair in his head. When
he wasn't going to the postoffice or
sweeping ont. he was making portraits
or hunting around secondhand stores
to find frames which could be cut
down to fit them. His industry had
given Mr.. Bowser an idea, and Mrs.
Bowser's crayon was the result 1t
had all come in for So per week except
the frame.
"Why-why, who is itY' asked Mrs.
Bowser, as she stood before the pic
ture. Being from her oldest photo
graph and the style being so ancient,
she could not recognize herself.
"Who is it?" echoed Mr.. Bowser, as
he slipped his arm around her and
gave her n kiss. "Well it's the pic
ture of the best little wife on top of
this earth, and she's standing right be-
side me at this moment. What have

tried to hide her feelings and took a
closer look at the picture.

RESULT OF CASsIAR ELECTION

From the result of the election on the
other side of the line 1t would seem that
Clifford and Irving, the anti-Maltin candi'
dates from Cassiar, will be returned with
a handsome majority. Atlin has placed
herself on record for the exclusion act by
giving majority for Godfrey and Stables
Martinites, but as Atlin was their home. 1t
was but natural consequence that manV
voters would favor local men.
Southern Cassiar will undoubtedly give
large majority for Clifford and irving
Bennett, Atln and Pine are the only pre-
oincts yet heard from.
The fact that the vote is in favor Of the
exclusion act is not to be accepted as ex'
pressive of the opinion of the entire camp
on the act for the reason that only the
Britishers of course, had voice in the
election. The vote was as follows:

SOME FEATURES OF
 THE STREET FAIR Animated Pictures of the British
 Boer War. MANY OTHER ATTRACTIONS Committee on Booths and Privileges is Meeting With Much Success Among the Merchants
 Crowds Are Expected
MANY OTHER ATTRACTIONS

Among the many features of the street fair and the midway to be held in this city during the week beginning Monday. May
 If, under the auspices of Birmingham
 Lodge No. 70, Benevolent and Protective
 pictures of the South African war. The bloody struggle that is now taking
 place in the dark continent is attracting
 universal attention and through the won derful genius of man, the thrilling inci-
 dents can be vividly depicted on canvass
 presenting in almost perfect detail the ter
 rble struggles and stratgic movements
 of the contending forces. The manage
 ment of the fair and midway have arranged l for these pictures.
 The Subjects
 These will show the beginning of the
 war and it's continuation to date. The
 bloody repulses of the British stand out in such life like presentation on the can vass that spectators can almost hear the
 roar of shot and shell, the shrieks of the
 wounded and the farewells of the dying. The arrival Of Lord Roberts on the field and the carrying out of his clever plans of strategy form pictures that in mo-
 mont tell more than a hundred pages of re- corded history The retreat of Cronje and his shrewdness in playing for time; the mercy of Lord Roberts extended at this trying moment to the women of the enemy and finally Cronje's surrender, are se-
 ries of pictures that vividly tell of the
 dep1rs md finer feelings of humanity.
 Every prominent struggle will be faithful
 ly given making this particular show worthy of the patronage of all true lovers of courage and military tactics.
 Committees at Work
 pr. Ed Drennen, together with Simon Klotz, Thomas Shields, Ed Cornwell, A. J. | Hall J. J. Lochran, II. A. Adams, Erwin Schillinger, s. Solomon, John Leedy, J. J. Altman and A. " Jannette, who are on the booth and privilege committee, are calling on the merchants and manufac- turers relative to renting them booths on exhibit street to exhibit their wares during
 the week the street fair will be open in
 this city, thereby giving them the oppor- tunity to advertise themselves to the
 thousands of persons who will visit the | fair, and at the same time help the Elks make their fair a great success.
 1 The fair was gotten up by Birmingham lodge No. 70, for the purpose of raising l fund to buy a lotin hopes that they may
 later arrange to build themselves home. The exhibition will draw great crowds to
 this city. The gates to the fair are not
 to be opened until 1 o'clock in the after
 noon, thereby giving all visitors an oppor-
 tunity to transact their business and go to
 the fair in the afternoon or at night, as it
 will be open from 1 p. m. to 6 ?. m. and from ' p. m. to Il D. m. It is to be hoped the merchants and manufacturers will re- ceive the committee on booths and prvi- leges and at once sign up contracts for space, as has already been done by some.
