FOi: I'HK COMING Sl'MMKlt
Outdoor athletics, from present
ii.t'.tcal'ons, will be Hi greater evi
dence iu Skagway this summer
tu.in for several years past.
The first organization to toss
■>. b'.U into the air for the 1!>13
lie'ison was the \V hite PafS Tenuis
club, aud for several days p;wt, de
votees of the racket, bail and net
have beeu at the court early and
lat* and it is safe to say that by
the tiiue the weather is settled and
teams can post challenges with
• ouie degree of certainty that con
ditions will be such as to permit
i; their playing upon scheduled
tine, the courts will be in use dur
ing the entire period of daylight.
Probably the enthusiasm manifest
td is due largely to Messrs. Fred
I.owle, Herman Miller and Hal
J oh asm, who have during the past
several summers never faltered in
their love for the game, and this
loyalty has awakened the latent
love for the exhilarating sport
in the hearts el' such experts as
.Messrs. Hannaii, Frost, Teller.
Honehrake, Lediard, .V. C. Blanchard
an' others among the men. while
Mesdames Weber, G. H. Miller.
iJauty, Lediard, I,owle, G. it. Mil
i Kirmse, and Misses Cook. Ma

it is the intention ot' the To.t
uis club to be in ship" to defend
ti e cup at the annual tournaments
wfeich will be played when Skag
.v;»y is the gue~ of Whiteliorse
're latter part of May, and early
in Jtly when the players of the

The Rapuzzi brothers are always
available, while there are n good'.y
number of others, among whom
•;e Hitlie Bledsoe. Happy Dortero.
Mickey McBrieu. Van Hook air!
Murk Phelps, who. with a lit'le
practice, would make the best of
l>'.e Southeastern Alaska teams, as
well as the Stroller's Native Sons
t°ani play "profesh" ball in ordir
to carry off the honors.
'■ his would round out the sum
mer so far as athletic sports are
concerned, but for the fall shooting
it will be necessary to get in trip,
an l it is up to the lovers of the
gun to organize, see that traps ire
soi and either semi-weekly or week
ly shoots arranged lor. It might
be well to consider a little tourna
ment with our Canadian cousins
when we go over the line to help
them celebrate iu May, and when
thfcy of the Painted Glacier towa
come ov.«r to get a smell of salt
air. Down the canal a few mib.s
a»e some boys who are experts with
tho rifle, but whom we very muun
doubt are capable of firing a shot
sun without flinching. They might,
however, be induced ti> come up
aid try for some little trophy
wbich would make it worth their
while.
T.he rod and camera will bo la
evidence this season more than
ever before, and with several new
gas boats iu commission, and somo
of the eld ones under
going repairs :uid getting
ready for use, it is slTv to predict
thai Skagway will havo a better
t'me outdoors during the coming
summer than for many years past.
! SYMBOLS AS SHOP SIGMS.
| A Legacy From the Old Days When
but Few Persons Could Read.
The uuiti on the street, and especially
the man on the street iu Manhattan,
dous not realize that he is every day
perpetuating in the signs that he uses
the customs i.f n people who could not
read. In the old days it was useless to
put up the si-n "apothecary." because
few could read it. So the apothecary
decorated his shop frout with a mortar
and pestle as a sign of Ills trade.
We can read now. most of us. hut we
cltiivr iO sisns of this suit still. The
symbol lingers.
Here and there a barber tries to
throw off its yoke by painting a sign
that reads "tonsorial parlor." but the
uortnnl barber shop proudly sets up it->
totem pole, which retains as a tradi
tion the silent but eloquent testimon*
of the former practice 011 the part of
the barber of blood letting.
Similarly the pawnbroker hangs up
his trinity of golden balls because the
original pawnbroking business was
started by n Medici, whose coat of
arms was charged with three golden
balls on a field of silver.
The wooden Indian sicnlfles n to
bacco store because it was from the
Indians that (he idea of smoking orig
inally came. The uoble red man has
thus been debased and doomed to bold
forth In ei!> ;y a bnncb of cigars to both
the willing *vd the unwilling.
A boot th«;t swings as a sign says
plainly to every man, "This Is a shoe
shop." The shoes within will wear
themselves out in the service of those
who buy them. A large wooden watch
can mean ouly one thing, and that Is
that the sign owner is a horologist.
