Watch the ads in The Star carefully this week. Each

and every Seattle store has its best foot forward this

week. They are in gala attire and many of them have '

planned special events for your profit, pleasure and

service.

Remember, Seattle's best stores are liberal users of

advertising space in The Star, and their ads each day

will be very interesting to you. Seattle has some of

the finest stores in the country and this is an oppor

tunity tn get acquainted with them which you should

not overlook.

The port warden miner!s manu

vented from doing so by the fact

that owner* of factory sites hold

their property at exorbitant price#.

"Let tha elty own thla land,"

Abou Ben Adhem—may his tribe increase!

Awoke this morn from a sweet dream o' peace

To tind a Pullman porter standing by his bed.

And to Abou the Pullman Porter said:

" 'Scuse me, sah, but dis yere am Seattle'"

The long train stopped with grunt and jar and rattle.

The Noble sprang from bed and wailed: "Too late!

Too late to greet the Imperial Potentate!"

But, lo! the Imperial Caravan was later still—

Impatient with the City's Key awaited Hiram Gill!

With the arrival, at 10 o'clock—an hour and a half later than

schedule —at the King st. station of the special train In perial

Potentate Frederick R. Smith, aovereign of the Shrine, of Rochester,

N. Y.. and his suite. Shrine week was ushsred In Monday morning.

In the surging crowd which jammed the approaches to the atation

waa loat an obscure-looking individual and a aalt-and-pepper auit, a

side cost pocket of which contained a corncob pipe and a aack of plug

cut tobacco.

Nobody noticed the obscure-looking man—there wae too much ele«

to notice, bands and bands and banda, and drill patrols in gorgeous

uniforms of Arabic designs, and Important psrsonagea In automobiles,

with badges on their chests.

The obecure person wormed hla way thru the crowd and thru the

gate to the train ehed. He apologized meekly to excited Shrine re who

stepped on his toes. A policeman rescued him and thrust him forward

to where the welcoming committee waited. He actually stood beside

J. E. Chilberg, chairman of the Nile temple executive committee.

Aa It turned out. the obscure-looking one was none other than

Hiram C. Gill, mayor of the city of Seattle, come to extend to the impe

rial potentate the key to the convention city.

Hiram seemed overcome with embararsament amid all that pomp

and splendor. But the imperial potentate—whose name, as haa been

mentioned. Is plain Smith—turned out to be a Jovial sovereign and a

regular fellow, who grasped Hiram'a hand and pumped It, and listened

to Hiram'a mumbled amenities, and pumped hla hand tome more. And

everybody yelled and the bands played "Ta-ra-tiddle-tuml Boom,

boom!"

it will be tha biggest, finest and beat convention Seattle ever had.

It started off with a bang.
