then a dull, sickening thud, a mo

was the ozone rent with brimstomcal
vituperations.
Customs from Palezoic times
have demanded that the beasts of
the jungle b" stalked, slain, dragged
to the rocks by the tusked cave man
and laid before his hairy mate. In
the absence of Dinosaurs, Saurolo
phus and Pterodactyls the “Dook"
TeluctanMy chose ptarmigan. En
countering a flock of these birds
picking sustenance from the willow
tens he sava^e’v attacked them and
secured a number.
Elated by the success of his sor
tie the “Dook” has‘ily repaired to
his abode ard choosing four of the
p’umpest from his white-shrouded
victims he forthwith prenared them.
As he plunged bis hand into the
cold, clammv interiors and removed
the gory viscera his heart pulsed
tenderly with love and exoectation

Now it so happened that in the
fair city of Nome there dwelt two
beauteous damsels, fairest of all the
fair, whose grace and charm had

“social leader.” To these creatures
he conveyed his fleshy offerings on
a platter and awaited with drooling
saliva the outcome.

WAS ALL. A* our Lochinvar

sought to console by visions of what
th<- morrow would bring forth.
But the next day the mail box
brought no cheer. The telephone
darkened the portals.
At a long past his. usual hour of

L'ENVOI:—Thus from Nome has
departed one gay. dashing blade who
bid fair to become a social leader
and in his stead there remains a
cynical, unfeeling misogynist, who
speaking of the above matter, said,

tive Committee.
Henry Burgh, J. J. Keenan, O. S.
WeaveT, J. S. Stangroom and Thos.
A. Ross, the personnel of the com

duced a constitution embodying the j
finest of principles and on the high
est plane of true sportsmanship. i
Each of the 14 articles making up
the constitution was read by Com
mitteeman J. S. Stangroom. A dis
cussion of each article's individual
merits was had before'passing on to
the next. Below is reproduced two
of the salient articles:

any meeting, and the payment of

this Association.
Charter members at this meeting
swelled the roll to over 50, with
every prospect of a Nome member
ship of 150 and a total membership
of close to 500. The price of mem
bership was placed at $1.00 but the
annual dues will not be fixed until
the first of the year. It is felt, tho,
that the dues will be very nominal as
a large membership of alert, live
members is desired rather than a
large treasury. Accomplishment—
not money is the aim of the Associa
