One of the cleverest exhibits de-
vised in some time to advertise the
products of the Northwest has just
been added to the exhibit car of the
Northern Pacific Railway, which will
tour the eastern states this winter.
The new exhibit is made of grain seeds
and consists of the we'll known trade
mark of the Northern Pacific, done in
regulation colors, and six feet square.
The emblem was constructed by one
man, working three weeks at the task,
and it is a decided novelty. 1t re

The Uncle Remus Memorial.

The address of Theodore Roosevelt
in the Atlanta Auditorium is in the in
terest of a memorial to Joel Chandler
Harris. The association having the
matter in charge proposes to buy Mr..
Harris old home. THE Sign of the

public. Mrs. Harris. who loves to call
herself "Aunty Remus," rather pathet-
ically says that if she were going to
live always she would not consent to
sell the home: but, as she is not. she
wants it preserved as it was in her
husbands day. To purchase the cot

the money come from popular sub

Joel Chandler Harris was an edito-
rial writer on the Atlanta Constitution
and started his immortal "Uncle Re-
mus tales to ill temporarily column
usually written by Sam Small. They
instantly became popular and shortly
were published in all English speak

seven languages. Mr.. Harris was an
abnormally shy man, who moderated
his own fame, refused to read from
his own works and scarcely ever ap-
peared in public. He regarded the
writing Of his many books not as a
task, butS7a recreation. He worked
with his children about him and
scarcely ever erased a line. He de-
