Faulenzer Fritz, with his mouth wide open, stood looking at the animals in a meuagerie. "Want job?" said the manager to Fritz. "Ya," answered Fritz. "All right, our tiger died a month ago and we want you to fix up in his skin and take his place." The trouble begun when th1 attendanb wanted to put Fritz in the cage with the lion. "Donner and BlitZen" said Fritz, mein arme frau und der kleine Fritzr "Get in there Bismark," yelled the keeper in loud Irish brogue "or thrust this spear through you." So poor Fritz was hustled into the cage with the lion and when he saw the lions big ferocious eyes fixed upon him Fritz uttered a pitiful vail and begun to pray in regular Dutch, "Got mit-uns, etc." "Hoch der Kaiser" zwei nal, whispered the king of beasts.

Fair Will be Held in 1909.

Owing to a slight rumor that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc Exposition is going to be postponed caused by the recent financial furry, the executive committee of the 1909 fair has passed the following resolution: "It is the unanimous sense of the members or the executive committee that the Alas ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition be held at the place and time hitherto planned Seattle, U. s. A., from June l to October 15, 1909.
 The contract for another large eX- hibit palace, the Agriculture building, has been let for S81, $50. Six of the main buildings will soon be well under way. The manufactures building IS progressing rapidly.
 The executive committee announces that 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 H. Me- Graw, Director of Exploitation Henry E. Reed, indicates that Congress is looking with favor on the exposition. The appropriation bill will soon come up for consideration. The government has asked for more ground space than was originally allotted to it.
 The management of the Exposition has secured the services of Col. Henry E. Dosch, of Portland, Oregon, as director of the division of exhibits. The exhibits department is being organized aud 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 1903, he was commissioner from the State of Oregon and Lewis and Clark Exposition. The directors of the Japanese exposition recognized Col Dosch's ability as aa exposition ist," aud placed him in charge of all foreign exhibits His services were recognized by the emperor of Japan, who decorated him with the medal of the chevalier of the sacred treasure. . Col Dosch was also given diploma of merit for his services at the Osaka Exposition. It bears the signature of i the Mikado and the royal seal. Col. Dosch was also commissioner general to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition for the Lewis and Clark fair.

There was once mule in large field that refused to be caught by it's owner. Round and round the field the mule gaIloped. The owner tore along behind, red and angry, swinging a halter in his hand and swearing pas sionateIy. The mule would let him draw near enough to throw the halter over his head; then it would kick up it's 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 nickel"
 "All right" panted the man; "here's your nickel Now tell me-"
 "Get behind that thick hedge over there,' said the boy, and make a noise like a carrott."

Another individual interviewed was
Mr.. j. H. Brooks, living at SGT Walnut
street, who had the following to say:
For the past eighteen months l have
been a constant sufferer from catarrh
of the head and stomach. My nasal
passages would become inflamed and
sore. would have severe headaches,
which affected my eyes, and great
crusts of matter would drop into the
throat, causing an irritation of the
bronchial passages, until the stomach
finally became poisoned. When l would
lay down at night a phlegm would
gather in my throat until it almost
choked me, and would cause an an
noying cough. Half a bottle Of
Cooper's New Discovery gave me re-
lief, and when the first bottle was fin
ished I felt like new man. am
now completely cured and consider
Cooper's New Discovery the greatest
catarfh, blood and stomach remedy in
the world"
The Cooper preparations have been
wonderfully successful throughout the
United States. We consider them re-
markable medicines and would be-
pleased to explain the nature of them.

An adequate idea of the intense in.
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr.. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The article
says: "The beginning of Mr.. Cooper's
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
''From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
lily increased, until now it has reached
q point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has an
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor
rect. ..........
"A number OF Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faith
in Cooper's preparations, were secured.
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic Of
them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson of $50

stipation for year or so. When I

Caught a IS 1-2-Pound Bass.

A magnificent spotted bass weighing
thirty-five and one-half pounds was
caught by w. r. Hillen of the Carolina
Savings bank off Sullivan's island
beach, opposite Station 20, says the
Charleston Evening Post. The big fish
was landed at about 6 o'clock, after
only couple of minutes play. He bit
a piece of mullet on an ordinary bass
hook, at the end of a whiting hand
line. This bass is probably the larg-
est that has been caught in Sullivan's
island surf for several years. In fact
well known fishermen aver that they
do not know of a fish as heavy by
many pounds as the one caught by Mr..
Hillen that has been pulled out of the
part of the Atlantic ocean which
washes the beach of Sullivan's island.
There is no doubt as to the weight
OF this fish. His weight was taken on
two scales, each registering it as thir-
ty-five and one-half pounds.

small and have foxy expression, with
bright eyes and sharp noses. The
prices vary from e3 to 94O or more,

dogs would bring a good price. The
probability is they will not have pref

Samuel Sim0nton, Formerly of Sank
Centre, Has jolly Time On His
Seventeen Birthday.

The Wenatchee, Wash, Republic OF
recent date, publishes an account OF
the celebration of the SEVENTEEN
birthday of Samuel SimOntOn at Oron-
do, Wash, recently. Mr.. Simonton
is a brother of w. H. SimontOn, ri
Sank Centre, and lived here for a
good many years He held the office
of postmaster here for fourteen years,
having first been appointed by Presi-
dent U. S. Grant. Following is the
account as published in the Republic:
Last Friday evening a large COM
pany of the friends of Mr.. Samuel
SimOntOn, of OrondO, gathered at that
gentleman's residence to honor his
10th birthday. The event was ar
ranged in such a way that it was a
complete surprise to Mr.. Simonton.
Many people were in attendance, some
coming from as far as Watervil!e
Mr.. and Mrs. Simonton came to Wash
ington from Sank Centre, Mimi, ten
years ago and settled at Orondo,
where Mr.. Simonton became agent
for the Columbia & Okanogan Steam
boat company, while Mrs. Simonton
filled a public want by conducting one
of the most popular dinner stations
known to travelling men in central
Washington. Besides attending t.
these matters the couple have been
foremost in developing tracts of fruit
land at Orondo and further up the
river. The Republic wishes to JOIN
the hosts of friends of Mr.. Simonton
in wishing him many happy future
anniversaries-a promise which seems
fair, for he is yet as husky and lively
as many men of but half his years.
