they are not only buying here but
they are taking their propositions

Handsomely Bound Volume Distrib-
uted at st. Louis Is Welcomed
In All Corners Of the
Earth

Members of the chamber Of COM
merce book committee received the
crowning token of the appreciation felt
for their efforts I'm putting forth a
souvenir OF Los Angeles which would
excel anything exhibited at the st.
Louis exposition at a luncheon ten
dered to them by Mrs. Frank Virgins
at the Lankershim hotel Thursday
afternoon.
The committee is composed of prom
inent Los Angeles women who over a
year and a half ago began work with
the intention of carrying out an idea,
originated by Mrs. Virgins for pub
fishing a souvenir book to be placed in
the hands of prominent people at the
St Louis exposition. Los Angeles and
Vicinity was the title of the book, a.
leather-bouud silk-lined volume con-
tanning a collection of over 100 ex-
quisite half tones depicting the beauties
of California.
An art cover was designed by Mrs
Anna Loring Bancroft and every de-
tail in publishing was carried out to
make the volume a perfect souvenir.
Mrs. Virgins, the chief hostess from
California at the exposition, was I'M
charge of the dist ribution of 1000 copies
at the fair and they were delivered by
small messenger boy in brown uni
form and cap bearing the name Los
Angeles"
During her absence the work in Los
Angeles was taken in charge by Mrs.
George A. Barry assisted by the other
members of the committee, and it was
in compliment to them that the
luncheon was given in the red room of
the Lankershm.
The guests were presented with let
ters from the chamber of commerce
thanking them for their efforts. The
letters were written according to Il
resolution of thanks passed at the last
meeting of the chamber and were
signed by Secretary Frank Virgins.
During the afternoon letters were
read from prominent persons all over
the world expressing their appreciation
of the gift book and showing that
there is hardly a corner of the globe
into which one of the volumes has not
gone.
Among the collection are missive3
from members of the foreign legations,
the president of the United States
Helen Gould and many others of like
interest. The following one expresses
the sentiment of the majority:
lone thing we are always sure of,

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Experience Spoke For Him When the
Time Came to Do So.

When Horace started to school he
had a cold. 1t had been with him
most all winter; consequently he had
come to regard his nose as the very
keystone of his existence. He was
still doing some pretty tall shifting
when called up for his first recita-
ton.
The lesson with which he was in
troduced to the life studious dealt
with that complex and incompre-
hensible subject, Boy" The teach
er, being woman possessed of an
analytical mind, believed in getting
right down to first principles. She
not only taught the component parts
of the word boy" but bewildered
Horace with sundry questions con
corning the boy himself. She tweak-
ed Horace's ears, gouged his ewes
and made sportiye jabs at his lips
and mouth, inquiring the while what
the various organs indicated were
caIleu ana what were their func-
tions.
Horace, in spite of his nervous
ness, acquitted himself creditably,
and he would probably have got off
with "a plus" if the teacher had let
his nose alone. Unfortunately she
attacked the offending proboscis and
asked:
"And what is this called ?"
"By DOSE" gasped Horace thickly.
"And what is it for?" she persist
ed.
And Horace, imbued with an hon
esty born of innocence and long suf-
fering, straightway responded:

The Turks Reply.

According to President Francis,
the brightest thing said on the
grounds during the St. Louis fair
was uttered by one of the attendants
at the Turkish mosque on the Pike
when an elderly spinster fell into
conversation with him and, showing
the customary interest in his spirit
ual welfare, remarked, 81 hope you
go to church every Sunday like
Christian" ''No, madam" he re-
piled. II 60 every day, like a Turk"
This calls to mind the story of
the traveller in Mohammedan coun-

safe to leave certain baggage exposed
without guard "Why, of course"
replied the guide .wonderingly.
