that the "flu” came along and
spread Its bark pall of death over
the Northland.
Whole Villages were wiped out.
Others, by some miracle of God. un-j
touched. The grim reaper stalked :
silently among us and whereever its
icy hand reached out and clutched j
death and desolution blighted the;
land. The erratic. fearful course
of th<> "flu" spotted the country with
terrible wounds that Time has not
yet entirely healed.
It was the Eskimo with his ignor
ance of medical laws who suffered
most. Volunteer relief parties came
upon family after family of stark,
fiozen corpses. Often a baby was
found swathed and wrapped in furs j
sleeping snugly and calmly amidst
this death. Tots of three or four
years clung to the breast of a dead
parent in nameless terror. Misery
Tt is a long story of how devoted

Tonieht we are offered an oppor
tunity of helping take care of the
survivors of the saddest epoch in
the history of Alaska. The Nome
Players have worked zealously for

the sacred cause of charity. They
have succeeded beyond .their fondest
wishes as yon who go will see.
From the standpoint of entertain
ment alone your dollar will give
double value. When you realise
also that 100 cents of every dollar
taken in is to be divided equally be
tween our two orphanages, of whidh
we are justly proud, it takes a man
mighty poor in the pocket hook or
mighty poor in sentiment to r>*fuse
to buy a ticket.

laughter and good care into the
lives of these ‘‘Flu'’ children.

I didn't say they were fine, I

HIS PARTY.
A matron of determined charac
ter was encountered by a yOung
woman reporter on a country paper,
who was sent out to interview lead
ing citizens as to their politics.
“May I see Mr.-?" «he
asked of a stern looking woman
who opened the door at one house
"No, you can't.’' answered the
matron, decisively.
“But I want to know What party
he belongs to," pleaded the girh
The woman drew up her tall flg.

she said. “I’m the party he belongs

car the way he can!"
"What has happened?"
“We took a ride yesterday and

“You were running without ma

“Yea. We had gone at least 11
miles before Charlie discovered that

WOMEN !
Women are queer things, no doubt
about that;
They hate to be thin and they hate
to be fat.
One moment its laughter.' and the
next It is cry.
And you can’t understand them
however you try
But there’s one thing about them,
that everyone knows:
A woman’s not dressed till she |
powders her nose.
I’ve studied the sex for a number
of years.
I’ve watched them in laughter and
I’ve seen them in tears;
On her ways and her whims I havs
pondered a lot.
To learn what will please her and
just what will not.
But all I have learned from the start
to the dose
Is, sooner or later she’ll powder
her nose.
At ohuTch or at ball game, at dance
There’s one thing about them I
know that I kno#:
At weddings or funerals or dinner*
You’ll find that her hand will dive
into her waist,
And every few minutes she’ll strike
up a pose,
And the whole world will wait till
she powedrs her nose.
