BASKET BALL
! The basketball game on Saturday
I night was much appreciated by all
those who went to see It. For the
flrst half it looked I'M an easy
Skagway victory, but in the last
half when the natives got to giving
their pass balls and instructions in
the native tongue th-j boys lost time
and the game, evidently on their in
ability to catch the meaning of the
pass signals. At the close of the
game the score stood at 24-22.1
The crowd turned out in big
numbers and everybody enjoyed the
game from start to finish. At the
close of the game u dance was an

PLATED A JOKE
One day. years ago, when the fam
ous actor, K. H. Sothern was play
ing in Birmingham, he approached
an ironmonger's shop and decided to
have a little (un. He went up to
the couuler and said: "I want some
'Macaulay's History of England.' "
"Well, I'm not particular," said
Sothern, pretending to be deaf. "1
don't care whethei it is bound in
calf or Russia."
"But this is not a bookseller's!"
shouted the assistant.
"All right," said Sothern. "Wrap
it up neatly. Want to have It sent
down to the hotel. It's for a pres
ent I wish to make to a relative.
Put it up nicely."
"We don't keep_ it!" shouted the
assistant, getting red in the face.
"Do it up as if It were for your
own mother. 1 don't want anything
better than that." said Sothern. "I
would like to write my name on the
fly-leaf."
"Sir " bawled the assistant at the
top of his voice, "we do not keep
books."
"Very well." said the actor, quite
undisturbed at the commotion he
was creating. "I will wait for it."
Under the impression that his cus
tomer was either stone deaf or a
lunatic, the assistait bounced olT to
the lower end of the shop and asked
his master to come, saying: "I can
do nothing with this* man. 1 think he
must be off his heud." Whereupon
the principal marched up to the
spot where Sothern was standing
and asked very louoly: "What is it.
sir? What do you desire?"
"I want to buy a file," returned
Sothern quietly, "a plain tile about
four or five inches in length."
"Certainly," said the principal,
with a withering Icok at his assist
ant, und producing at once the ar
ticle which had been asked for.
WRITER I'RAISES
AMERICAN" WOMEN
An articli' recently appeared in the
London Times devoted to American
women, who were especially praised
for their ability to cultivate friend
ships among themselves that last
from schooldays on. The writer
stated that he had often noticed
groups of mature American women,
friends ot long standing, traveling
through Kurope with great pleasure.
Another characteristic pointed out
is that American women enjoy
luncheon parties aud other such
meetings where no men are 011 hand,
finding pleasure in the society of one
another. The New England woman
is especially lauded for her steadi
ness of virtue, simplicity of life a:id
great serenity, due to Puritan tradi
tions.
CAULK AGAIN IX OPERATION

the dance.
Messrs. Tanner. Gault, Smith,
and Feero furnished the music dur
ing the fore part of the evening Bnd

mor furnished the music during the
latter part. Mrs. Van de Wall also
played a few numbers on the piano.
1 he dance was a decided success
and the committee Is to be congrat
ulated on the work done and the
results achieved.
PHKMATl'RE PAYMENT
An automobile dashed along the
country roail. Turning a curve. It
came suddenly upon a man with a
gun on his shoulder and a weak,
s.ck-looklng dog (reside him. The
dog was directly in the path of the
motor-car. The chauffeur sounded
his horn, but the dog did not move
until lie was struck. After that he
did not move.
The Automobile stopped and one
of the men stepped out and came
forward. He had once paid a farm
er $10 for killing a calf that belong
.•d to another faroier. This time
he was wary. "Was that your dog?"
"Yes."
"Looks as if we'd killed him."
"Certainly looks so."
"Very valuable dog?"
Well, not so very."
"Will $5 satisfy you?"
"Yes."
"Well. then, here you are." He
handed a $5 bill to the man with
the gun. and added, pleasantly, "I
am sorry to have broken up your
hunt."
"I wasn't going hunting." replied
the other, as he pocketed the bill.
"Not going hunting? Then what
were you doing with the dog and the
gun?"
"Going down to the woods to
shoot the dog."—Youth's Compan
ion.
EVOLI'TION OF A NAME
"I thought your wife's name was
Elizabeth?"
"So it is."
"Then why do you call her Peg
gy ?"
"Short for Pegasa."
"What has that got to do with
It?"
"Why, Pegasa Is feminine for
Pegasus."
"Well?"
"Well, Pagasus is an immortal
steed."
"What of that?"
"Sli! Not so louJ. She's in the
next room. You see, an immortal
steed is an everlasting nag. and
there you are."—Vancouver Prov

VIOl.IV TKST PROVES
A SI R PRISE
In order to decide without preju
dice from the sound alone whether
the famed Stradivarius and other
"old master" violins are superior to
modern makes, as generally claimed
the Paris Conservatoire arranged for
a striking but fair competition. In
a hall pitch dark Prof. Burn played
successively a Stradivarius, two vio
lins by Guadagnini, and four of mod
ern makes. The auditors, who
could see nothing, were asked to
vote on which violin seemed to have
the superior tone, and a violin turn
ed out the week before by a little
factory on the Loire was selected to
first honors. Another modern make
was voted second and the Stradi
varius came third. A similar con
test some years ago had a like re
sult.

Many people have a ■weak spot
Too often It's the back.
Twinges follow every sudden

Dull aching keeps on. day and

Backache is often from weak kid

In such cases a kidney medicine
is needed.
Doan's Kidney Tills are for weak
kidneys.
For backache and urinary His.
Good proof of merit in the follow
ing statement.
W. D. Barnett, 397 W. 4th St..
San Pedro. Calif., says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills are an old standby with
me. They have done me a lo- of
good. 1 used them off and on Tor
years and have never found thWr
equal for kidney trouble. At tlm> s
1 had attacks of backache that il
wavs put me out of commission. I
could hardly stoop or straighten up.
and my kidneys didn't act right.
Doan's Kidney Pills have never fail
ed to straighten me up in good
shape."
