2 SANDWICHES
ONE-SIX-GITS
After spending almost one month
In various Puget Sound cities, Tony
D^nero the popular Broadway mer
chant returned to his home in. this
city on thq steamer Humboldt last
Sunday, and la busily engaged in
picking up the threads o£ his busi
cess, and preparing his store for
the Drover display of the soteks of
goods which he purchased while
away.
Astoria, Portland, Spokane and
Seattle were all visited (by Mr.
Dortero, but the latter city came
in for the greater amount of his
time, as he says in Seattle one can I
find every person ,who has ever
baeu iu <he north who I? not here!
now.
Tony tells of inviting a visitor
to have a sandwich, with him, and
when he asked for his slip, the
wai?er handed him a tab for $1.75.'
Mr. Dortero, admits that the sand
wich was excellent, but he said
tnat he told the waiter that they
had not ordered a chicken dinner.
Mr, Eortero stated that the ros
taurauteurs would look you straight
'u tfce eye and band you a tab
which looked as though you had
jus* paid for the noon day meal of
a ccmpauy of thq National Guard
jus' after its return from a ten
mile hike.

BOY AND HAfiRY
11 FRONT LI
Whili there Is little being said
about Suagway giving her youth to
the Nation, during the past few
days word hag been received here
that two boys, who, although they
were net born iu Skugway are
looked upon as being Skagwaj" boys,
having lived here since they were
wee kiddies, have joined the front
rank, by answering the call to
arms made by their President and
thus Skagway is honored.
W. Hoy Mulvihill, sou of J. W.
Mulvibili, chief train dispatcher of
the White Pass enlisted in the
Coast Artillery of the National
Guard, and he is aiow training so as
to he i he better able to fight for
his country and his flag..
Ilarry Wurbzacher, son of Prank
Wurbzacher, general freight agent
for the White Pass, hag also ans
wered tne call for men, and he is en
listed iu the National Guard, and
is now undergoing the rigid train
ing which is to fit him tp protect
•lie honor of his country, and fight
for the cause of humanity.
Tnese two young men entered the
pubisc schools iu Skagway when
they Nvddled to school with their
orimero under their arms, and both
of them attended until they had
passed through the higher grades.
Tht*y have been looked upon as
mere boys, and now that they
have entered the first line, we know
that they are men, and Skagway is
•proud of them, and proud of having
such men as these boy's fathers as
residents of ti e north.

GOOD FORM IN TENNIS.
Don't Copy a Bad Stylo Because Soma
Star Player Uses It.
Good form In tennis Is hard to de
scribe. It Is not necessarily the ability
to win matches, nor Is It always the
most graceful way of hitting the ball
It Is rather the method of playing
(hose strokes that huve been shown by
long experience to produce the best re
mit* with the majority of players.
One too often hears nn ambitious
young player declare that any stroke
that wins is good enough for him. Be
cause McLoughlln won luternationa'
matches In spite of using a cram .km I
backhand swing they are willing to
copy his style In the h<>iv of equaling
his skill.
But success dues not justify bad
form. What a McLouchlin <>r a Brookes
might do with a bad style of play Is
Dot always the be*t for others to at
tempt. Ten would fail with such meth
ods where one would succeed, while
with good form ten would succeed
while one would fail.
A young player with a generous fu
ture before him might much hotter
select as a model of good form strokes
such as Johnston uses or those shown
by Lamed. With such a model auy
healthy, active boy should be able to
play tennis well after steady practice.
lie game does not require height or
weight or any unusual physical qualifi
cation.—J. Parmly Paret In St Nich

Soapstone.
In the production of soapstone the
United States ranks first among all
countries, and Virginia produce.-; about
twenty times as much as the four oilier
producing states—Maryland. North Car
olina, Rhode Island and Vermont. The
waste from breakage in quarrying,
sawing into slabs, manufacturing and
final transportation is so great as to
render success in the industry a matter
of skillful manipulation. The value of
the stone Is in large measure propor
tionate to the work done upon It. In
the rough it is valued at $2 or !e-s a
ton, but when sawed into slabs its
value is increased to about $ir>, and
when made into laundry tubs it may
attain a value of about Soil a ton.
Government by the People.
The first attempt of government by
the people begun in Aium-ira was in
1G19, when Sir George Y'canlley was
sent from England as governor of the
Jamestown colony. [lis charter pro
vided that he should call a few chosen
men, two from each of the eleven bor
oughs that constituted the colony. The
meeting, which was known as the as
sembly, was held at the church, with
the governor and his council presiding.
Those who came from the boroughs
were called burgesses, and the- assem
bly, which met every year, was styled
the house of burgeisea. At this period
this was the only English colony in
America.—Spokane Review.
PATRIOTISM.
Let our object be our country,
our whole country and nothing
but our country. And, by tha
blessing of God, may that coun
try itself become a vast and
splendid monument, not of op
pression and terror, but of wis
dom, of peace and of liberty,
upon which the world may gaze
with admiration forever.—Daniel
Webater.

SOME PRACTICAL SCHOOL
PROBLEMS
On Friday evening, April 13th,
at the school wag held the last
regular meeting for the year of
'he Parent Teacher Association.
There were about thirty five in at
tendance.
The Horticultural Committee re
por'ed that a box of bulbs and
ulants had been received as a
■?!f* from tho Seattle P. T. A. A
•notion was passed that a letter of
'hanks be sent to that organiza
ticn.
At the February meeting a
committee had been appointed to in
vestigate the possibilities of the
location of a Divisional High. School
in Stag way, Judge E. A. Rasmu
son reporting far the committee,
stated that thru its efforts, mem
orial to the legislature now con
vening in Juneau, had been sent
from the leading organizations of
the city—the Ellcs, the A. B.'s, the
Council, W. C. T. U. and the Com
mercial club—asking that if such
a school were to be established that
i* should be established inj Skagway.
The program of the evening,
"Some Practical School, Problems,"
consisted of discussions on. various
fOD-'cs led by Judge E. A. Rasmuson.
Mr. Bianchard, Miss Benthien and
Mr. Pedersen.
Judge Rasmuson discussed the ad*
vantages to Skagway of having a
divisional High School located here.
He told of the financial aid that it
would mean to the town to have
more homes. If a high school
could be established now, an Alas
ka University in Skagway might be
"ne of the possibilities of the fu
•ure.. 1
Mrs. Blanchard In a short talk
told something of the school gar
den movement in the United States,
emphasizing the fact that school
gardens had proved successful and
uractical. After much discussion
as fo how a beginning might be
made for a school garden, in Skag
way, a committee was appointed to
I ma'-e some plan by which tha school
j children hqrre might have a garden
| plot »o work in .
| Mr. Pedersen very briefly spoke
, on "What a boy or girl should know
about the woods." Some of his
ideas were similar to those used
in Boy Scout Training1.
During the spring Mr. Pedersen
plans to do some practical outdoor
work with the school boys.
Miss Benthien read a letter from
Department of Labor at Washing
ton inquiring what had been done
aud what should be done for
Skagway in the way of night school,
not only for the teaching of Eng
lish tc foreigners but for teach
ing the principles of American citi
zenship to those who wished to
learn. A committee was appointed
to investigate the need for a
night school and, if such a need
wer° found, to make plans for it..
From the interest and enthusisam
of U'e members who have attend
ed this year, and from the associa
tion it is evident that the P. T. A.
Is taking itg place up one of the
permanent working organizatons of
the town. , s ) j
