Caused a Sensation
 At the Grand Ball

We recently heard of man who attended a grand ball with his wife, and had grand time. While dancing a quadrille he noticed that his pants were ripping and hur- riedly retired to dressing room " ith his wife, who procured needle and thread aud began sewing up the rip. While the man was stand ing there without any pants on he heard rustling of skirts and it oc- cured to him that he had taken refuge in the ladies dressing room. He appealed to his wife, and she showed him to a door which she thought opened into closet. Opening the door quickly, she showed him through and locked the door. Mary" he screamed, "I am in the ball room The door, instead of opening into a closet, opened into ,hc ball room sure enough" Skagway Guide

A Possible Clue.

Up to 1901, and possibly after that time, a man lived in Dawson who answered the description given by Mir. Crompton. His name is not remembered: he was generally called "Doctor' by his acquaint- anceS. Near the western end of Third street, south. just across from Capt. lack Crawford old stand, he kept a little office" and on the outside hung a plain little sign containing the word "Phreno!ogy.' Those who entered the modest place found i's proprietor pleasant of manner and interesting of speech. He said he had studied phrenology all his life. not as a money making proposition, but as an interesting pas,ime. He had an electric bat tery, i'll which he firmly believed as a Cr1a'ive agent. He had q small, dark mcti me case, which he kept stocked with medi, ines of his own compounding. especially liuiment and salve. He lecture" and sold medicines on the street for awhile, .iving away large numbers of yencils in order to hold the crowd He had been i'll nearly every mining camp in the west; was an American. and was anxious {, return to the American side

 Of course it is mere chance, but that may have been the man who met his late on the Novikakat.
