BULGARIAN AVIATORS
HAVE EXCITING TIME
London, February 10. — In a recent
message to the London Daily Tele
graph, Bennett Burleigh, the famous
war correspondent, wrote:
“A couple, of Bulgarian aviators late
yesterday afternoon had a thrilling ex
perience in a biplane over Adrianople.
They could see the city and the move
ments of the Turks and in the forts
quite clearly, and that the Bulgarian
batteries were shelling the. enemy.
“The Turks tired upon the aviators,
but the shells burst at least 350 to 450
yards below the machine. For half an
hour the aviators flew about, taking
note of everything. They saw that
the Selim Mosque was intact and that
most of the other important buildings
were undamaged.
“But a startling surprise was in
store for the aviators. The Turks had
sunken a gun in a pit and fired as they
passed overhead. The airmen heard
the loud, hurtling roar of a shell fly
ing directly toward them, and their
ears were filled with screeching, which
drowned the noise of the engine and j
the humming wires. Fortunately this
bomb also fell short, but the intrepid
aviators thought it time to move, and
reached the Bulgarian lines in safety.”
Mrs. Geo. Phillips, who arrived from
tlie Outside with Mr. Phillips last

OUNG WAX. who worked in Jimpson’s store, is out of
luck; his joD he’s lost. “We do not need you any more,”
said Jimpson, “you are such a frost. You’re diligent,
that I admit; you try to earn your wage, I know, but many
patrons throw a fit when they behold your air of woe. You
always look as though your dad had burned a church or robbed
a train; your bearing is so glum and sad that people think you
have a pain. The clanging mart is not the place, in these glad
optimistic years, for any man with longdrawn face, whose eyes
are full of unshed tears. A dame comes in to buy a rug, or
blow herself for silk or fur; she wants a guy with beaming mug
and cheerful mien to wait on her A g«nt comes here to buy a
shoe, a walking stick or fancy vest, and when he sees a clerk
like you, he thinks he’s at a crowner’s quest. I’ve often waited
on my trade when colic harrowed my inside, and wore a smile
that would not fade—a smile at least six inches wide. I’ve
stood behind the counter here, with wreathed smile and bow
and beck, when I'd an abscess on my ear, and three carbuncles
on my neck. And you, who have no grief or care, just circu
late around this store the living image of despait—so I won’t
need you any more.”—Walt Mason.

The Arctic Brotherhood grows apace
in st length and importance. The lat
est camp to be established is Camp
Petersburg No. 30. Says the Peters
burg Progressive of February 15 in
this conneclion:
"Word has been received to the ef
fect that the charter for Camp Peters
burg No. 30 of the Arctic Brotherhood
had been granted by Grand Arctic Chief
H. J. Landahl. The message states
that the necessary documents ; nd sup
plies would be expressed on ttie first
boat to Dr. Nborick, of Wrangell, who
will immediately proceed to Petersburg
for the purpose of organizing tiie camp
and thereby add another star to the
Arctic Brotherhood banner.'’
It will lie noted that the charter was
issued by Grand Arctic Chief Landahl
before the re-organization of the order,
but there can be no doubt but that the
camp is now affiliated with the sister
lodges of tiie North.
