HE LIVING DOLL is
A FEATURE AT THE
WASHBURN SHOWS

No doubt some of you have heard
about this little lady, Elizabeth, the
living doll. To those she needs no
introduction. For the benefit of those
who have only heard of Elizabeth in a
vague manner, it is stated that this
charming little personality has arriv-
ed RECT from San Francisco, whers
she was the strongest attraction on the
joy zone. During the ten months dur
alton of the fair, Elizabeth played 70
over two million people and in that
time thousands visited her several
times during her stay. Elizabeth in the
three years she has been in this coun-
she has been in this country has play
ed to more people and made herself
more popular with the people in that
time than any person of similar ma
tire ever did. She has played to over
ten millions of people in the United
States in this short period of time she
has been here. She has been ban
quoted and large receptions have been
held for her by numerous prominent
people, such as Governor Johnson, of
California; Mayor Rolf, of San Fran
cisco; Hon. William ]. Bryan, DR.. Con
izales, of Chicago, famous lecturer
and divine, upon leaving San Diego,
she was entertained by Admiral Full
Ian, officers and crew of the United
States battleship Maryland. This
charming atom of femininity is the
smallest perfectly formed woman on
earth today, and she is a little beauty
with it all. A beautiful blue-eyeu,
solden-haired living doll, and an en-
tertainer of no mean ability. In fact,
she is in class by herself. Is an
accomplished linguist, speaking flu
emily six languages; English, Italian,
French, Spanish, German and her ma
tive tongue, Hungarian. Elizabeth is
such a little wonder one cannot keep
from talking about her. Imagine
little woman % years old, so small
one may hold her on the palm of the
hand, as perfectly formed, and Is
strong mentally as any normal sized
person, and handsome as a picture. She
weighs q pounds. Do not fail to see
her during her stay in your city. It
will be a great treat.

PLENTY OF LEISURE ALLOWED
PRISONERS IN ATLANTA "PEN.'

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 28.-If man
is looking for leisure in which to in.
dulge a literary bent, the best place to
find it is in the federal prison in At
lanta, according to Logan P. Martin,
prison poet who has just been re-
leased from that institution after serv-
ing eight years, and who has attracted
widespread attention with a recountal
of his experiences.
In addition to developing into poet
while in prison, Martin wrote novel
aid innumerable paragraphs. In cul-
tivating his prison leisure for literary
pursuits he followed the example of
more than one ;llustrious predecessor.
including the late o. Henry, who serv-
ed three years in the Ohio state prison
and wrote dozen of the best shor
stories of his career during that time.
There are so many prisoners in the
federal prison, and so little work to
be done that every man enjoys great
deal of leisure" declares Logan +.
Martin MY work consisted in sup
erintending a gang of stone cutters,
and my duties were principally to walk
around and look wise. At the end Of
short working day, l found myself
with a long period of leisure, and it
was not long before / began to employ
this time in writing"

The rejuvination Of skagway is one of the topics that is being dis cussed everywhere in Alaska, and 1t is 6 Pleasant thing to talk about. There are many people throughout Alaska whose first Northern expsri- ence was gained in the historic city at the head of Lynn Canal, situated on commodiousA and safe barbor in one of the most picturesque and fertile of Alaskan coast valleys. Thousands tGrried there to live a few weeks, months or years before proceeding into the heart of the great coast country, and they all retain interesting and most of them pleasant memories of their days there. Those who remained until the last in the city that, next to Dawson, is most indelibly con nected with the Klondike rush, one of tha greatest of all incidents of Pacific coast settlement and devel- opmeEt, number but few hundreds, but these who have stayed there and lived their lives have never lost faith in the strategic position of tncir town, aad they have never ceased to enjoy life in their beau tiful little community with it's sum- mer sunshine, flowers and gardens.
 The hope that the new activieies at Ssegway might be based upon solid foundation, and that the fond est hopes of. all those there might bl more than realized is one that ex- tends to every section of Alaska Empire. .s
