THE STORLLEIt
I To the Clerk of the School Board,
Skagway, Alaska.
Dear Sir;—
Your invitation to the stroller,
requesting that he prepare and de
liver an address to, your school of
whales was duly received and is
now under consideration, but there
is a possibility that your request
can not be granted for the reason
that the Stroller's time during
the long, dark niehts of fall and
winter „ s usually occupied with his
Heart t«> Heart Talks with Mothe.-s.
On a latf; trip to and through the
States, the stroller addressed a
number of schools—a school of
journalism in Seattle, an agricul
tural school in Missouri, where the/
wanted to be shown; a theological
school in Ohio where they turn out
ministers like a certain manufactur
ing industry at South Bend, Indi
ana, turns out Oliver Chilled
Plows; a schoo] of mines in West
Virginia, and the Ladies Auxiliary of
the Muleshoers Union at Little
Rock, Arkansas. At various other
points in the South ho spoke be
fore Y. M. C. A. bodies on Pistol
Totin' in Connection with curch
Work, besides delivering a number
of talks to boy scouts in the same
portions of the country on Winging
Niggers on the Fly. So you will
see that addressing schools and
like organizations is not new
experience to the Stroller, although
he has never yet addressed a
school of whales He made a few
remarks once when attacked jjy a
shark while bathing off the Fiorida
coast, but he has never repeated
them before an audience. In fac'..
he has ever since been somewhat
ashamed of what he said on that oc
casion.
However, if the local association
of Amalgamated Mothers feels that
the Stroller can be spared for a
night or two, he may see his way
clear to accede to your request. In
the event that the Stroller can not
accomodate you and if your whales
are still yearning to be addressed,
you might prevail on som© one of
the Stroller's old Juneau frleada.
Governor Strong, Judge Jennings or
Judge Winn, to appease that yearit
ing. You can probably palm oft
any- ordinary speaker on the ^hales
—that is, until after they are ad
dressed by the stroller.—E. J,
While. •
