GIRL'S DIBS
NEENAH, Wis., July 3? How
would you like a hug like this, girls?
A hug that busted two ribs. Miss
Pearl Osborne, the daughter of a
wealthy farmer, has no complaint, be
cpusc she got what she asked for ? a
real, manly, hug.
John Bousfield, a young farmer,
had been courting the neighbor's
daughter for many months, but he
I was a bashful swain, and when he
had the good fortune to escape a
rebuke as he passed his arms about
the girl's waist he had what he
thought was the good sense not to
press his advantage too hard.
Rut Pearl taunted him, saying
tl.at he did not hug her hard enough
?? i d wondered if he was man enough
to give a woman a real hug. She
got the manly hug all right and
Bousfield proved he was not so
much bashful as careful.

PREDICTS FUTURE TOR SHEW
John H. Bunch, general passenger
and freight agent of the Alaska Steal
ship company, who has been In town
for several days will go south tonight
on the Dolphin. Mr. Bunch stated to
day that the tourist traffic to Alaska
this season gave promise of continu
ing until late in the fall.
"We have received requests for res
ervations as late as September. This
is something that has never happened
before. I think that our boats will be
crowded unti' the close of the
A.-Y.P"
That Skagway has a future as a
summer resort town is the firm be
lief of Mr. Bunch. He thinks three
things are necessary to Insure this.
Advertising, hotel accomodations and
the general knowledge among the tra '
elllng public (hat the steamship com
panies will grant stop over privileges.
"Someday," continued Mr. Bunch,
"there will be big tourist hotels at
Skagway and they will be filled dur
ing the summer month#. There is no
doubt about the beauty and climate
of the country. The eastern tourists
rave about the trip. Many of them
would be willing to spend anywhere
from three days to a month in Skag
way if they could get the hotel ac
commodations and knew what you
have here. The heavy tourist traffic
this summer will be of great benefit
In advertising the trip north and I ex
pect a constantly increasing summer
travel from now on. It's merely a
question of letting the people know
what. Is here."
