STROLLER SHEDS
TEARS FOR IIAHN
Indicted Superintendent Was All
Right But With Bad
Crowd
II was with profound sorrow
tliat the Stroller hoard of Iiis
pood friend, V. I. Hahn, superin
tendent of the White Pass Rail
way, being '"run in" on the
charge of violating Ihe Sherman
anti-trust law. The Stroller does
not. believe Mr. Hahn ever know
ingly violated a law in his life,
hut. that he was "harvested" on
account of his associates. The
predicament of Mr. Hahn recalls
to the Stroller's mind the story
of a certain pet sheep which was
unknown, unhonored and unsung
until the death of a stockman
who pastured his herds either on
the plains of Jericho or Montana,
the Stroller has forgotten which.
The herder had two sons, the
older of whom was a keen shrewd
youth with an eye to business,
while the younger was little bet
ter than an idiot.
When it came time for the old
,inan to quit he called his two
sous to the bedside and said:
"Roys, the jig is up with your
pop. 'lie is al| in. What I have,
I leave to be divided equally be
tween you 1 \v«». My assets are
2,000 head of sheep. And you,
my eldest son. see to il. that your
simple brother gels his half of
the sheep. The division I leave
to you."
After tin* old mail had boon
buried the elder son rounded up
the Hheep and earefully divided
them, putting all the scallawags
in one corral, and all the good
sheep, with one exception, in an
other. The exception was a hig
pet wether called Billy, the idol
of the simple hoy. This pet
wether the older and foxy hoy
placed with the scallawag sheep.
He then called to his younger
brother- and said:
"Dear Johnnie, the. .sheep have
been equally divided and I am
giving you tlrst choice. Gome
out to the corrals and take your
pick of tlie flocks."
. lie thought, of course, John
nie would have no eye for any
of the sheep except Hilly, and
would certainly choose the »flock
of which the favorite wether was
a number.
The hoys first visited the good
sheep, at which Johnnie scarce
ly glanced. They then passed to
the other corral which Johnnie
immediately entered and went
straight to Hilly. On bended
knees and with arms around Bil
ly's neck the silly boy said:
"Billy, we have been (hoo)
like brothers. Billy, we have
(boo) drank milk from the .same
pati. Billy, we have played and
romped together and (boo) when
tired, we lay down and slept to
gether. Bnl (boo), Billy, we
must (boo-hoo) part. Billy, you
are in a damned bad crowd.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWER8
WHICH CHANGE COLOR8
The principal uses of cobalt in
the United Slates am in making
glass anil pottery. A beautiful
bine is given to glass by the ox
ide of coball. Sympathelic inks,
according to n report of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, are
made from, cobalt acetate, chlo
ride, and nitrato that aro enlor
ed when heated or colorless when
cold. This interesting pht»nomo
non is due to the change in rolor
of the salts on the absorption of
wator. When dry they are blue
and easily seen on paper; and
when dilute, colorless. A puz
zling application of this principle
may bo in a doll whoso dress is
blue in dry weather but changes
to pink when subjected to damp
ness, as in wot weather or when
the ooll is held in the steam of a
tea kettle. Artificial flowers are
made to show the same effect.—

Why Is It? and the Answer.
The question has boon asked
all over: Why is it the Biff Place
has taken 1 lie lead and is forging
further and further ahead. The
answer, although a long one, will
he answered as follows: The Big
Place at the present time gives
their patrons more for the money
than any other place. Anheuser
beer on draught, served with
merchant's lunch. TJiis is the
first time that Eastern beer has
been on draught in Alaska, and
I he lunch can't bo duplicated any
whoro. The Big Place is most
complete in its line of amuse
ments, cigars and bar accommo
dations. l| is always boosting for
Yaldoz, and through doing so is
helping itself. Everyone who is
a resident of Valdez realizes thai
even so it's helping their homo
and Valdez is now forging to the
front and leaving other places be
hind.
Til.! American Press service
installed in the Rip Place every
day has treated quite a few sub
scribers. who come in and look at
the pictures of notable events re
produced by photograph. The
Big Place was tlrst and still is the
only one trying to make business
conditions look better by putting
on 8-hour shifts. Everybody is
welcome to make it their head
quarters and lounging place and
the public is heartily welcome to
do likewise, with no restrictions
don't have to spend your money
if you don't want to. All we ask
is your presence—that alone
makes us alive. Deliver the
goods lo the Valdez people and
they will he your patrons and
boost for them and Ihey will boost
for you.
