tXH'RT BUNCH ENJOYING
VICISSITUDES TO WESTWARD
When that bunch of jolly good fel
lows who are holding court to the
westward return in the near future
; they are expected to relate to their
j wives and such of their friends as
| they can buttonhole of the hard life
| they have been experiencing aim of
! how "tired” they are. and glad to
[get home,and so on ad infinitum. We
have no desire to spill the beans,
and give the I oys away, but on ac
count of the "tribulations” experienc
ed by the hunch would probably read
as follows: Rennet and Marshal Bren
!neman have piled up a record for
j Valdez as tennis players. While it is
true they have been unable to bring
home any scalps as yet their size and
height precludes any joshing. Judge
• Brown has become an enthusiastic
| bowler, and spends rdj)ch of his time
[making strikes and spares. Clerk of
: the court Lang goes to lodge and
sucks his beloved brier; Ike Ham
burger and son Lewis have taken a
contract to furnish the town with fish
and burn up the joy juice hunting
good spots to tempt the finny tribe;
John Bouse is very popular with the
fair sex and is working overtime to
prevent any of them from becoming
lonesome; Tony Dimond talks poli
tics and plays a little pan; while
Jonh Miller tries to inveigle some
listener into hearing about how he
won the basketball games for the
Moose team last winter. It's going to
be hard on our good friends when
they get back to the humdrum life of
Valdez, if they spring any of that
overworked stuff on their better
halves and friends

SCHOONER JA’CY WAS
CLOSELY WATCHED
Vessel Seized by Federal Officials Yes
terday Had Been Under Surveil
lance for Days
The Schooner Lucy, which was
seized at Anchorage this week for
violation of the federal lawB in re
gard to illegal labeling of liquors and
assignment of fictitious names was
seized by our old friend Joe Bourke
of this city, together with U. S. De
puty Marshal Harry Schultz of An
chorage. The position of the vessel
had been closely watched from the
time she left San Francisco her car
go having been tipped off to the fed
eral authorities at Anchorage and
other Alaskan points. Marshal Moss
man armed with a search warrant
boarded the schooner and despite
strenuous opposition on the part of
her officials, ferreted out the con
cealed liquors.
A barge has been placed alongside
the Lucy and the goods not under the
ban will be forwarded to their pro
per destination.
Awaiting action of the district
court the goods will be held at the
marshal’s office in Anchorage and
will probably be either destroyed or
sold (but not at Anchorage) to the
highest bidder.
According to the report gathered
by the Times in regard to the matter
it seems that the Lucy cleared San
Francisco but the manifest at this end
did not show the 30 cases above re
ferred to. George W. Palmer, who
owns and operates the Lucy, claims
that the custom house officials at San
Francisco are in error and the matter
will be settled satisfactorily as soon
as he can get advice from that end.
Capt. Nelson of the Lucy was ar
rested by the federal authorities for
contempt of court yesterday and was
fined $25 and cost by Judge Conroy.
ESKIMO ICE CREAM.
It’s a Fin* Diah, No Doubt, but Y*ur
Ouasta Might Net Lik* It.
Tbe main food of tbe Alaskan Indian
la meat and fish. In the winter many
people do not cook the fish at all; aim- i
ply leave them in the house for two or
three days and then eat them raw. j
Women always serve the food and al
ways see that others are satisfied tie
fore beginning their own meal. They
hare to l»e very careful not to spill
anything, for that would bring bad
luck to the one whom 1’iey are serving.
When a person is invited to eat in
the village it is considered bad man
ners to eat all that is ite.'ore him. lie
must leave enough to take home to ,
the lnemliers of tiie family who did
not come. The host generally givetc
his guest a piece of dried fish tc hold
the food which he is to take hdine.
Tbe fish Is broad and flnt. about one
half Inch thick, and the bundle is
carried away openly without any at- j
tempt at hiding it. In the summer i
berries, fruit and roots are added to ]
tbe diet, and berries are frozen iu the
fail to last through the winter.
Since white people came flour and !
canned goods bare changed the food j
very much. It is easy to have Ice '
cream for dessert any time. There Is |
no cream alK>ut it, but tallow and her
rice are mixed with snow, sometimes i
fish is added to it, and when it is fro
zeu It makes a fine dish.—Southern
Workman.
WHY NOT BE CHEERFUL?
It Will Help You t* I nor**** Your
Mental and Physical Power.
Good cheer is a great lubricant. It j
oil* all of life's machinery.
Good cheer is a great producer. It
adds wonderfully to ODe’s active ability
and increases mental and physical pow
er. It makes hosts of friends and helps
us to be interesting and agreeable.
Good cheer will attract more custom 1
era, sell more goods, do more business,
with less wear and tear than almost
any other quality.
Optimism is the greatest business get
ter, biggest trader, truest achiever, In
the world.
Pessimism has never done anything
but tear down and destroy what oidl
inlsm has built up.
In the business office, in society, iu
politics, in workshops, everywhere, tbe
favorite is always the cheerful fellow 1
with tbe bright smile and blight ;
thoughts.
Good natured, cheerful ones do not
waste their vital energies as rapidly as
the grumblers or tbe too sober, too sour
ones do. They work and live with
much less friction.
Good cheer is a simile habit. It is 1
one of tbe best in all tbe list.—Chris 1
tlun Herald.
Averting * Defeat.
A certain political boss always con
trolled bis delegations to tbe conven
tions, and tlie delegates voted the way
be told them to—and not until he did
| tell them.
At one convention a delegate pre
sented a resolution that tbe boss fa
vored, but bad not beard about soon
enough to post bis delegates as to bow
they should vote on it.
The chairman of the convention put 1
tbe question, "All iu favor of this res
j elution say aye.”
There were a few ayes, and the boss'
delegates looked at him inquiringly.
Seeing that he would not have time to
pass tbe word auil wanting tbe resolu
tion passed, be dashed down the aisle
toward the chairman, waving his
bauds and shouting;
"Don’t put the negative! Don't put i
the negative! I did that once and got j
in a deuce of a fix.”—Saturday Evening j
Post.
Mangrove Forest* In the Bahamas.
Mangrove trees are to me the most
fascinating of all the vegetable growths
of our strange planet. When young
(we must first come upon tbem at the
opening of the creek) there la some
thing tender and idyllic about them,
with the fresh, childlike laureline
leaves and dangling rods of emerald
that were really the suckers of their
barren-like roots; but as we proceeded
inland they grew into an obscene and
bizarre maturity, like nightmares strid
ing out in every direction, with pranc
ing skeleton feet planted in noisome,
festering swamps and stretching out
horned, clawing hands that seemed to
take root as one looked and threw out
other roots of horror like a dream.
Kichard Le Gallienne in Harper's Mag

Vocational Education.
Cue day Morton came borne from
school much discouraged. It seems the
teacher had been explaining the dif
ference between pints and quarts, but
Morton failed to understand lb To
make it plain bis mother showed him
the actual milk bottles of two sizes,
when be impatiently declared:
“There Is no use bothering about this
any more. 1 am not going to be a
milkman.”—New York American.
The Way of lb
“The man they picked up on the
street and carried to the hospital was
suffering from knockout drops.”
“Knockout drops given him on the
public street? Impossible!’’
"Two bricks fell on his head from a
building he passed.”—Baltimore Amer
lean.
Too Honest.
“lie’s too frank to be a good politi
clan.”
"Why?”
"When he has said something that
the people don't like he doesn’t deny
that he said it”—Detroit Free Press.

held.—Danish Proverb.
