TELLING ARGUMENTS FUR THE
BIO FAIR.
Mr.. c. =. Randall. Who Is Well
Qualified to Speak on this Ques-
tion. Writes to The Tribune on
the Great Benefits to Come from
the Advertising and other Ad-
vantages on ! semi-centennial
Fair IN 1908.

EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE,
Morris, Mimi.
Dear Sir:-H you can spare short
space in your paper should like to
set out one of the many advantages
that would accrue to this state and
this county in particular in having q
Semi Centennial Exposition in 1908
at the state fair grounds.
This question has been sufficiently
discussed in the newspapers SO that
everyone knows what questions are
involved. The fair management claim
that they will need 81 ,OOO, 900 to place
this exposition and further claim that
all of this sum can be repaid to the
state in cash within at least 25 years.
The history OF the fair for the past
few years has well borne out the fact
that $4,000 is q small profit to
make and with this turned into the
state treasury, it would not be long
comparatively before the sum could
be repaid.
Such an exposition as this would
have many advantages, among which
are:
1. An equipment Of buildings and
grounds SO as to provide for success
full fairs for years to come.
2. It would bring exhibits from other
states and of our national government
giving the people of this state an op-
portunity to see that which the great
er portion of them would never other
wise see.
8. It would fittingly commemorate
the semi centennial of this state of
ours.
Aside from this there are many
other advantages but the greatest of
all these is the enormous amount
of advertising it would give the state.
Even at our state fairs as now given
people come from all over the United

,tion would Be beneficial

an appropriation wouldb beneficial
to the state to write to their repre-
sentatives in the House and Senate,
asking them to support this bill. Il il
only in this way that they can be 49,
sured that they are voting for what
the people want. Yours truly,

Sad Mistake OF an Actor.

An actor without fund managed In
some way to get Il second-class ticket.
Oil line of steamers running between
Seattle and San Francisco. The vOy-
age between these two points consumed
the better part of three days and in
view Of the fact that his finances were
at low ebb he solved the question in
this way:
The first day out he slept all day to
keep from eating. and remained up all
night to keep from sleeping. The Sec
ond day he took physical culture exer-
cises. On the third day he could not
stand the strain any longer and went
down in the dining room and ordered
the best meal on board the boat.
While eating this meal he could see
in his minds eye a picture~Of cell in
the baStile in San Francisco. After
finishing his meal he said to the wait
er: How much do l owe you?"
Nothing" replied the waiter, your
meals We're included in your ticket" II

What Charles Dickens Said.

Henry {. Robinson, a witty lawyer
who used to live in Hartford COnn.,l
once told the following aneCdote one
evening. when he was introducing AM
English author to Hartford audience.
The first famous Englishman whom
I ever saw was Charles Dickens. who
lectured here in Hartford when l was
young boy.
Il haG read some OF the stories of,
this great writer, and l was most NnX-s
ious to catch a glimpse Of the man him1
self. SO on the afternoon when he wasH
expected to arrive l walked up andF
down the street in front Of the hotel
where l knew he was to stay.
The hotel was built close to the side
walk, and the long windows Of the par
lor were so low that the paSser-by could
easily see into the room.
Il soon realized that a gentleman
was sitting within, reading a paper. I
stepped close up under the window and
pressed my face against the glass, Gag
er to get good look at the stranger.
Yes, it was he. 1t really was! had
seen his picture often, and couldn't be
mistaken. ! stared and stared, anxious
to impress every feature upon my mem
ory. After few moments he turned
and saw ne there, the little eager Yam
kee boy, gazing up at his race; and
then the famous man, laying aside his
raper, actually spoke. so that l really
heard the voice of the great Charles
Dickens himself, and he was really
talking to me-"
Here Mr.. Robinson paused impress
sively. and some one on the platform
inquliAl, "What did he say, Mr.. Rob
inson?"
ale said" replied Mr.. Robinson, in
subdued tones, "Go away, little boy
20 away"
