The Christmas work in the first

when the reporter bagged for light
on the subject, she was (figurattve

At Monday morning assembly the
principal gave an Interesting] talk

ing morto was given the school:'
"Habit Is a cable; you weave a
♦>r^ad of it every day, until at last
it cannot be broWem." After Miss
Eenthien's talk several songs were
sung.
Last Friday the Eighth! Kiradet Do
mes'ic Science class and the Ninth
an.l Tenth Grade Domestic! Science
class, worked together and tnad^ a
variety of home made candy, which
was daintily arranged in boxTs amd
sold to repay them for the amount
of sugar they have used during the

wit the childrens favorite good
morning song.
Then came a shor* play of Big

leen Lynch as the farmer and Phil
ip Olsen, Stewart Larson and Al
len Whitfield as the engines.1.
Then a scene from tfteir reader,
"The Three Wishes," by Eileen

Then Johmny Smoker, a funny

finished with th$ childrens, "Silent

The Daily Alaskan of Dec. 1 was

es, *ha* is, the general knowledge
questions published on' Dec. 12, were
g'ven to the eighth grade and the
first and second grades of high
schtol. Thfc same questions were
given to a normal school In Minne
sota. The lowest marks in > the
Minnesota school were 16 pi?r cent,
and the general average was very
low. The highest marks in the
Skngway public Bchool was'81 per
cen* and the lowest 34 per cent.
The general average was 54 per
cent. Most pupils did very well, but
learned from one that "David play
ed before saw," and from another
tha4 "The angelp played the harps
before Saal," and from anot^ r that
"Petrcgrad was in Bpaln."
A Twice Told Wo
The new steamea: sailed into the
harbor for the first time, making
a grand sight, as her proud captain
thought, with all her fresh paint,
Hag flying and the bandi playing.
"Few war cruisers," said fa 9 to hjmt
self, "eurpass this one. Sh'g is the,

water and' three above, i hi"ve jny
own private suite, likewise others
of the officers. I do"not know of
anyone who has greater reason to
be proud than 1 have."
Way, way down in the fourth^
deck under watgr, obscured in an
out of the way plaae, were hidden
thoughts running in an entirely dif
ferent way. A boy in hla late
teens had run away from ho-me, de
cided that he would de for himself.
"Why did he determine to go on
this dingy ship? How long before
ho would be off duty and allowed to
go up the ladders, ux» to the fourth,
deck fpr a breath of air? Would
tw> years ever be upf? This: boat
was horrible. Thos§ ladders never
end»d. The air was foul. 'Those
hammocks he had to pleep i!n wejre
not nearly so comfortable- as a bed
w>u!d have been. The captain was
so uppish."
Both minds wicre working,'at the
same time and yet, what a contrast;
the captain plnoud and masterful,
aud the boy. taking a solemn vow
never to work again on a ship.

C'ty of Seattle on February 22,
1S99, the Arctic Brotherhood lodgey

the chief ideas of the 'lodge was a

the community and should make
sure that every child, h.o:5N'ev(:ir( poor
got at least one gift on Christmas
day.
The first one was held in 'Skag

Of course the plan was not work

now and although, the^'uaually suc

child of fifteen or usndex a present,
once in a while Santa made some
quetr mistakes, such' as giving a
oair of little red baby shots to a
boy of fifteen. Now, however, eVe.^
