A TIMELY Si (.liKTSlON
From present indications athlet
ics iu Skagway during the coming
winter will hold the tenter of the
stage in so far as local entertain
ment is concerned.
Already bajiet ball teams are
feeing lined up. and the Klks are be
ginning to think of bowling.
The North Star Athletic associa
tion at Whitehorse h:;s opened its
bowling alleys, and several hotly
contested games have been rolled.
It has been suggested that an
international tpurnameut of basket
tall and bowling be held this Win
ter, the tournament being held in
Skag way, teams participating from
Dawson and Whitehorse and Juneau
Treadwell, Thane, Fort Seward and
Skagway.
Teams could me<t here from the
North and South with the lea^t
fexjjeuse, aud a grand carnival of
•ports be the result.

Some Crownless
Kings Are Now |
Living Easy
Nicholas, of Russia, and Con
otantiiie, of,Greece, have received
more titan their shore of atten
tion.; as monarchs deposed by the
forutnes of war iu the great con
flict now j being waged in Europe.
There are others, and the New
York Times tells of |them as fol
lows:
Nicholas Petrovich, the old king
of Monteuegro^is another ruler who
lately lost his crown, att least tem
porarily. He has leased ;a villa
just outside of Paris, where he is
living with his daughter, Princess
Xenia. Because j Nicholas was sus
pected of treaeheiy tp his allies
the anteute powers, he is guarded
by tlu> Paris police, altkfiugh he en
joys comparative freedom. His cab
inet minister, who jwent with liim
when h 1ft his ^country, when the
army was starving and bagged by
the forces of the central powers,
has deserted him. But Nicholas
is not alone, for h.e took with him
his entire family, excepting Prince
.Mirko, who was left behind with,
the army, and Ua« been mentioned
«s the Austro-Huugarian candidate
for the throne of a uuited Serbo
Croatian state under AUotro-Oerman.
protection.
King Nicholas Petrovich is pas
sionately fond ot- poker. When he)
is not reading the war news, ac
cording to reports from Paris, J he
gathers his old cronies about him
tor a game. He is the father ot
the! Queen of Italy. Another of his
daughters is Princess Francis Jo
seph of Battenberg, and -still an
other is a Russian grand duchess.
Little has been heard recently of
King Ferdinand of Rumania, who
sacrificed his vast holdings In Aus
tria by allying himself with the en
tente powers. His brother, j William,
15 months older, who was himself
crown prince of Rumania until he
resigned all his, rights in 1SS6, not
only has expelled Ferdinand from
the family, but now has begun J to
call himself king, it is certain,
that Ferdinands finances »re *
vt:y l-ad condition, and it is not
likely that he will ever regain his
lost property in Austria. |The old
er brother, William, has two sons,
both of whom are generals in the
German army, and his daughter by
his first marriage was wedded to
Manuel U, then King of Portugal.
Peter, King of Serbia, had the
distinction of being the second
king to lose his crown because of
the present war. His grief was
probably greater than that of any
other ruler who met with a'similar
misfortune; for Peter had spent a
lifetime trying to gain the throne.
His early crime—the murder of
Prince Obrenovitch that ft"e might
take the throne—was never quite
forgot'en. Then, too, Peter was not
accepted into the graces of the oth
er European royalty on his accession
to the throne in 1903, following
the murder of King Alexander and
Queen Draga—his la^t step to the
crown, j
This sad little old man once re
marked in a fit of temper: "I must
be very ill today; it does not even
OXE WAR CLAIM
Germany will have a lot of bills
to pay when the war is over, and
one of the most important of them
is a Dili for a basket of fish and
eggs- There is today "at anj Eng
lish. pt it," as the censor makes us
»ay, a fisherman who is mighty
anxious for,the war to come to an
end. He is a poor man, and there
fore the bill he holds against the
Kaiser is all the more important to
liim. This certificate of indebt
edness will be handed to the Ger
man emperor personally, if the
fisherman has his way.
It so happened that one peace
ful afternoon in the early days of
the war, while alone in his boat
within rifle shot of the harbor, a
submarine suddenly emerged along
side. Before the man had *ime to
fall overboard'from fright an offic
er thru»t his head out of the con
ning tower and in English asked if
he could have some fish.
"Sure," said the excited fisher
man as he turned over a basketful.
"Caji you get us some eggs?" asked
the German. ("Sure," said the man
in the boat, and promptly pulled
for the shore, disappeared into his
hut and reappeared with several dos
en eggs, which he brought out to
the hundry submarine crew. Then,
instead of offering to pay, the
crew said "Thanks," and, closing
down the hatch, disappeared from
view. The fisberman explains that
he thought they were English, oth
erwise he would not have supplied
them. _ _
please me to be king." Wheu they
drove him fiHJmi jSerbia he went tQ
Athens. He has now found an asy
lum on the [Greek isle of Euboea
in the Aegean sea. At 72 he
spends much of his time walking,,
uerhaps trying to imagine that his
valor jearly in the war when ho
marched at the head of his plucky
army, makes up for his earlier acts.
The|"King of Hedjaz," formerly
sheriff of Mecca, is another re
cently deprived,of office. But he
seems to have come out on top,
the English, French and Italian
governments have recognized the
government of Hedjaz, jvhich he
founded. In it are the holy cities
of Medina and Mecca.

No other remedy more highly
endorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's'convincing testimony.
Mrs. S. E. Ellsworth, 527 Rex
Ave., Portland, Ore., sayy: "I was
all run down because of kidney
trouble and I can j hardly describe
the pains in my back. Many times
I was so dizzy and nervous I could
hardly k®ep going. My sight was
often blurred and big bl^k specks
came before my eyes. My sleep I
didn't seem to rest me and I al- |
ways felt tired and listless. My
kidneys were weak and my feet and
ankles became swollen. I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and was soon
completely cured."
Price 60c, fat all dealers. Dont
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
