Another very interesting feature is the stump house, which has the exact size and shape of the original tree, one of the finest ever located in this county. Beside the stump house and connected with it is another long section of the tree from which the stump house is made. The interior of both the stump and tree are finished in redwood burl+curly :md plain. In the center of the house is a round redwood burl table seven feet in diameter. There are also a number of paintings by Humboldt artists as well as exhibits of burl, and a great many photographs of scenes in this county. There is a miniature bungalow built carefully to scale on the best of plans. It is entirely of redwood shingles, with windows of plate glass, lighted from within, and surrounded by a miniature lawn. In every way Humboldt's exhibit is considered one of the most beautiful and unique in the state building. -'iWy Qbning bums Kinnison S. Boynton, ,I5. Come on, all you farmers, Le-t's go to this sideshow, Let's go to the fair. We'll visit concessions And everything there. A ride on the railroad, Or over the sea: Next morning at Trisco The sights we will see. A half of a dollar Your fare for the day, At the Baker street entrance You willingly pay. You green horns the fakers Soon spot with a vim, Put hands in your pockets, And hang to your tin. A nickel for this thing, And ten cents for that! A solid gold stickpin, A souvenir cat. Now over to that. A ride on the railroad, And lose your best hat. At the tower of jewels You stare and you stareg While the aeroplanes circle About in the air. Around on the racecourse The speed demons fly 3 While the whirr of their drive Throws dust in your eye. The mechanics building, A sight to behold, The whirring of Hywheels Scares even the bold. And as night rushes onward T The searchlights will play, wheels And you wend your way homeward- Thus ends the first day. T9

On either side of the entrance arch are beautiful panels which are done in oil and are of actual scenes in Humboldt's redwoods. One of the most unique and instructive portions of the Humboldt exhibit is the great relief map of this county. lt is seven and a half by fourteen and a half feet and is accurate to the minutest detail. The map is mounted on a base which in itself is a masterpiece of Workmanship-laurel and oak have been com- bined in the base and beautifully carved, making it the most perfect piece of carving in the exposition. The relief map shows the topography of the entire county and at the same time gives the stranger a comprehensive idea of the character of Humboldt. just back of the map is a miniature reproduction of the Cape Mendonico lighthouse built entirely of glasses of jelly made from Miattole Valley fruit. Within the lighthouse is a revolving flashlight, a reproduction in every detail, of the beacon which stands guard over the most western portion of the United States. The flashing 'feye of the lighthouse shows the clear, opalescent pinks and reds of the jellies and guides the visitors to the Humbolde exhibit much as the beacon after which it is patterned guides the fleets of commerce to Humboldt Bay. Much consideration has been given the butter making industry of Humboldt -every phase of which has been covered. The butter designs in vari-colored rose which are displayed in refrigerated cases attract a great deal of attention. Two more cases containing cheese, butter, canned products, etc., show the perfect products of Humboldt in this line. E To the right are revolving trays displaying several varieties of Humboldt apples. SCENE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING EXHIBIT I8

El! :Fairy Gale Zoe Kelsey, ' I 7. XQQLyAQl4yf ITTLE RUTH awoke with a start! Oh! Such beautiful music, Qi -'mmig who was playing in the garden! She slipped from her bed Qi! and stole softly to the window. The big round moon was high, sending silver light down E!-mu-0-gli on the lovely garden. The little brook that ran through it and JWWKWSWHWQ under the wall was singing softly, seeming to still the sobs and sighings of the wind. But where was the player of that wonderful music? It seemed to come nearer and nearer-then around a bend of the brook a fairy barge came floating. In the helm stood the queen with a crown like a tiny rain- bow on her head and about her was wrapped a soft, filmy gauze set with many pearls. Her wand was a slender white lily. Her many fairy attendants guided the tiny shallop along with green rushes. At a miniature harbor they stopped and springing lightly out, laid a carpet of gold from the boat to the shore. Ruth seemed to grow lighter and lighter as she watched until she floated away like the down of a dandelion. Then she was down among them dancing on the soft green grass to the music of wind harps. . When they had tired of dancing, the queen, with a wave of her hand, pro- duced a table all laid, and little toadstool chairs. The queen sat upon a throne made of a white wake-robin. Each plate was a pink roseleaf and by it stood a bluebell full of dewdrops. Columbine honey filled little lily-of-the-valley cups. Tiny sugar cakes sparkled with frost. As they sipped the honey and ate of the crystal cakes they chatted gaily about the wood Flowers and birds. f'Oh!', cried one bright fairy, have you heard the news ?,' 'fNo,H they exclaimed excitedly gathering about her in eager anticipation. Then I will tell you. You all know the little girl that lives in the big house, well something dreadful has happened to her. She was naughtyyesterday and when her nurse wished her to wash her hands she was very impudent. I cannot tell you what she said, but it was quite terriblef' Little Ruth's cheeks burned as she thought how' saucy she had been to her nurse and knew it was herself of whom they spoke. But her Hushed cheeks turned pale when she heard the fairy say, And oh, girls, she was turned into a horrid little caterpillar! just imagine! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! the fairies cried in a chorus. Their eyes were round and their little red lips puckered into a round O. T hensuddenly Ruth awoke and rubbing her two big, sleepy eyes with two little round lists, she remembered. Scrambling out of bed she ran eagerly to the window. Yes, there was the queen's gauzy veil hanging on the pink rose- bush. But the pearls of last night had turned to brilliant diamonds in the bright morning sun, and there were rose petal plates scattered about by the wind- but that was all. 20
