which the soldiers could shoot. OF

Outside the exhibition building, in
another part of the trench lot, was a
display of wire entanglements. They
were made by a firm In Berlin, and l
am sure 1t would take some cutting to
get past them. The most interesting
part of the whole show was the exhibit
ton of war posters from all Germany's
enemies. They had posters from
France, Italy and Russia, but the ones
from England were the most read.
They were all urging the men to arms.
Besides the poster show they had

We had our dinner in the Paulaner-

before Christmas. 1t is a very nice
restaurant, and the things to eat are
very reasonable. Among other things
had two pork chops and potatoes and
they just cost 80 cents. You can't do
any better than that in America.
Bathing Is "verboten."
After dinner we went to Grunewald
to little inn we know there. 1t was
such day, such beautiful day! The
sun shone through the trees. To get
to the inn you must first walk through
a bit of forest, and after a little you
come to little lake. It Is a very pref

APPLAUSE is OF MANY KINDS
But There's No Mistaking the Genuine
Article, When 1t 10 Heard, Says
Victor Murdoch.

With nearly every successful adj
dress applause plays q leading part,
writes Victor Murdoch in Golfers
Weekly. There are several varieties
of applause. The common variety Is
the perfunctory handclap-a poor,
weak contribution which makes but
terfiy look long lived In comparison.
A second variety Is the charity offer
ing of an audience to the oratorical
beggar.
The speaker ends a profound decla-
ration with pause which is next door
to an open declaration of war II the
audience doesn't come across. Or he
works himself up in series of mental
paroxysms which impel the auditors
to rush to his rescue before 1t Is too
late. All spellbinders pocket this va
riety of applause as real coin. OF
course 1t is nothing of the kind.
The genuine issue in laudation Is
spontaneous and volcanic eruption of
approval and delight. 1t blows out
violently from the subterranean fires
of folk, and when 1t has reached its
climax there comes, suddenly and gor-
geously from the midst Of 1t second
and more terrible explosion, and as
this is reaching its highest point, a
third and seismic spasm rockets up
through bedlam and overwhelms ev-
erything and everybody. This Is the
real thing. 1t cannot be made to or
der and 1t cannot be counterfeited.
The prearranged outbursts at national
political conventions following the
nominations are pitiable attempts to
manufacture It, Claques and coteries
of devotees try occasionally to pro-
duce 1t mechanically. They never do
successfully.
All veteran speakers know 1t, and
having experienced 1t, live on in the
bright expectancy of the golfer who
has accidentally driven 275 yards and
believes that any minute 1t is liable
to be done again. There are many
communities which have never wit.
messed such scene. They never will.
For there are some communities that
are strangers to all manner of re.

ever, to the man who first drove a
boat with a steam engine of his own
invention, we come to Denis Papin,
who In 1907 drove model boat with
a steam engine which he had invent

the inventor, to drive the paddle
wheels of boats.

USE QUAINT PHRASES
INDIAN BOYS WRITE HUMOROUS
YET PATHETIC LETTERS.
One Complained That Mules "lnJured

Life of Another.

The struggles of Indian boys In the
different schools with the English Ian
guage are revealed in batch of let
tiers in the possession of A. 8. WHY,
superintendent Of Indian schools in
Oklahoma.
An Indian boy on a farm wrote: i

as to the wages he received.

WHY, now / am going to write you
this day and inform you how I like my

earnestly I don't like it. I think the

cause he told me right before my face,
he said he rather have a small boy, so
he can give him Sc or 81 a month for
his labor. This was when first came
to this place and ever since he has
had same opinion.
Another thing he can't give me
higher wages, he wouldn't do 1t for
any man, and yet the tight-wad wants
me to work on two farms and yet he
only give me $40 month, gracious

month keeping house. would rather
be housekeeper than work on two
farms at $40 month"
An Indian boy from the Snake set
Element tries to tell the superinten-
dent he is tired of school and would
rather go back to the tepee. He Is
not the first boy who has played sick
to get away from school, but no school
boy ever voiced it in such quaint Ian
guage.

N wonderful days here In
W Berlin. Beautiful sunshiny
days like spring. The day
when the rumor came that old Kink
Nicholas wanted peace was glorious

they are the finest, cleverest men in
all this glorious, young Germany. They

After we left the cafe we went to
see the exhibition of war things that is
being held at Geological gardens. They
have everything here that belongs to
war and soldier. They have num-
Der Of captured cannon, British,
French and Russian. They have two
English aeroplanes and a number of
motorboats. They have uniforms of all
the warning nations. Some of the cos
tunes were very beautiful. The Bull
garian were especially. so, but they
were almost too gay to be very practi-

forms were very funny. They have

Just Like a Real Trench.
Outside the main exhibition build

cloth and was furnished with an old
couch and some chairs. Iron lanterns

 Anna Karenina" is heart grip
 ping story of love-starved woman's struggle for happiness. The hero inc is the wife of a Russian diplo
 mat high in the councils of his coun' try. This man, cold, reserved and wholly wrapped up in his duties,
 gives neither time nor attention
 to his young and beautiful wife. Anna, though she respects her
 husband and adores her little son, yet craves the love which she feels
 is the right of every woman, and
 when Count Wronsky, a handosme young cavalry officer, enters her life and offers her the admiration and devotion which are denied her in her home, she eagerly grasps her chance for happiness.
 The inevitable result follows. Rich and beautiful though she be, and of exalted social position, Anna finds that she cannot defy the cOnven- | tions She is cast off by her hus- band and denied a sight of her son, Her former friends desert her; she is an outcast from society where she formerly was a queen. At last she even begins to distrust her lover, the man for whom she gave up
 everything. Wearied by her un- equal struggle, and without position
 or reputation Anna finds this last blow too much to bear, and she | seeks in death release from world ly sorrows.

TANANA VALLEY
 FAIR PLANS ARE
 BEING ARRANGED
FAIR WILL BE HELD THIS YEAR ON SEPTEMBER 4 AND B.
 PLANS STARTED.

That the annual Panama Valley fair will be held this year. as usu- al, was the decision arrived at by the executive board of the Fairbanks Commercial club in session last Tues day afternoon. Therefore. plans for the holding of the fair have been | completion as rapidly as possible. The fair will be held on September and ,, or Labor Day and the day following. at the roller rink, which has been the scene of all of the an nual fairs. It will close on the evening of the fifth with grand harvest ball.
 No cash prizes for exhibits of any kind vii. be awarded this year according to the statement issued after the board meeting Instead pretty ribbons will be given for first, second and third prizes And the Commercial club feels that the farmers of the vicinity of Fairbanks should be just as keen to eompet" for the ribbons as for cash prizes and bring in their best produce
 The ribbons too, will be some thing to be proud of For they will be emblematic of the efforts OI th. early day farmers of the Panama Valley to show what the country can and will produce, and the pos terity of the present day agricul- turist will be proud to show them as heirlooms handed down through generations from their pioneer an CestOrs.
 It is not customary to gi.D cash prizes at fairs on the Outside but it makes no difference to the legion with their best produce. Con sequently, the Commercial club feel that in giving cash prizes, as it has done during the past two years, it has overstepped it's bounds There fore the new plan has been inau- gurated
 The annual Panama Valley fair has no other purpose than giving the farmers chance to exhibit their products, and it is therefore up to the ranchers to benefit by their opportunities All that the farmers are asked to do is to get their produce ready for exhibition The Commercial club agrees to do the rest And the expense involved in getting the exhibits to the place of exhibition and In arranging them in their respective booths, is an other reason given for discontinu ing the custom of awarding cash prizes.
 All of the plans for the fair have not yet been made, as they are too multitudinous to be handled by the executive board alone. It is there fore probable that in the near flu ture committees will be named to attend to the details
