Two of our citizens were argueing
this morning about the gender of the
Aurora Borealis. One of them said it
was a He, the other a She. The one
who insisted that the Aurora was a
male compared it with the pea-cock,
! .he Chinese pheasant and other birds
f gorgeous plumage, pointing out
that it was only the male birds of
%
| these species that sported the bright
feathers. The other citizen who in
sisted that the Aurora was of the
#
female specie,' claimed that it must be
so because only wJhnen , would and*
could wear such bright, dazzling cloth
es. No matter what tfie Aurora is; He,
She, or It, the fact j-emains tl^at the
exhibition given in the sky above
Seward last night by the Aurora was
a gorgeous and magnificent affair.

and Minneapolis don’t have even if
we are shy on some others.

Fellow blew into Seward not long :
ago with a whole trunk full of mark
'd cards, loaded dice and other crook
'd paraphanalia which he unpacked !
and proceeded to use.to such good ad
vantage to himself that he copped
about seven thousand simoleons at the
rate of about $100,OOQ per day.
After this crooked hyena had ;
'cleaned up” he beat it out on the
boat with the entire outfit notwith
standing the fact that he was known
to have possessed it. Think of it. Came
to this little old berg and deliberately
swiped jpven thousand iron men by
the crookedest method known and then
•vent and bought a ticket on the next
)<>at and packed all the tools he hdd
used when committing the burglary
nto a trunk and sailed for another*

town where he will undoubtedly try to
repeat the performance. And the re
port is that an officer of the law paw

searching for contrabrand fur and
either because he was ignorant of just
what it was or because it did not re
semble a martin hide, he carefully re
stored it to the trunk. Can you blame
