THAT BILLY GOAT AGAIN.
Sir William, The Notorious Goat,
 Makes Fun for OnlOokers.
RETAINS HIS PERFUME

Sir William. the notorious goat in this city. had quite au experience on Froup's wharf short time ago Every body knows Sir William but those af tieted with nasal disease or through any other cause lose the sense of smell are his best friends Two boys were leading his highuess off the wharf and each had rope fastened to his horns, one walking in front and the other to the rear. Considerable activity pro. vailed on the wharf at the time, for boats from the south were di,eharging cargoes and river boats were loading for their runs up the Stikeen, and a great many people were on the wharf to observe the departure of the vessels \ man was walking otf of the dock with a sack of flour on his shoulder. Where he was going we never found out and what he was thinking of was also un- known to Us. but surely he was not thinking of goats or he would have been
 
 goat near the man with the flour they gave the ropes d few jerks and let them go. They knew what Sir William would do He gave one bound toward the man and made a center shot on the seat of his trousers. The blow knocked the man down and the sack of flour fell back and clear over Sir William. But this wasn't the best of it. Sir William had thus far done nobly but he was des tined to outdo all former efforts. After the first attack he strengthened himself up, shook his head and gave his tail a few tlips and, just as the prostrate man got orte his hands and knees ill all ell deayor to rise, he bucked him second time, the blow taking effect at the same place as the first and it knocked the man some fifteen feet end over end. The mans hitherto deliberate movements were greatly accelerated by this second attack and he got upand ran to Il place of safety, which he found on top pof the railing on the side of the approach to the dock. Such a laugh never was heard in Fort Wrangel before nor since. It is said that one good laugh extends mans life by number of days and if that is true MT. Duncan Mckinnon, MT Robert Reid and MT. J. F. Collins have surely added one month each to their days on this earth. The boys picked up the ends of the rope and Sir William was led away. his pensiye look and superb fragrancy having at no time during the episode deserted him.

Oh, You Rascal.

The ordinarily steady, staid citizen worrying herself to death and not half enjoying her visit for fear Hubby is pining for the comforts of home and family association, will find himself brought up with a sharp turn and made to know that life is not contin- uous round of pleasure when Wifey arrives at home and learns where the aforesaid steady, staid citizen has been spending his lonely and desolate hours. a Dutch uncle in beer garden. l saw him eating ice-cream at the church so- cial with Miss Soprano and promena- ding the deck with Miss Eppy League on the last steamboat excursion.
