SKAGWAY BOY
 GETS FAME

Sammy Stein, former Skagway boy, has become famous at Fairbanks. He made hit at that place in an amateur minstrel performance and the Fairbanks News uses flaring headlines to com pare him to "Billy Van"
 Among other things, the Fairbanks News says of the former Skaway school boy:
 "Ridiculous Sammy Stein, supported by an excellent company, gave the best show that has yet been seen in Fair banks. The thing is put in this way, for, though the various other members of the Fairbanks minstrels carried out their parts in a creditable manner. Sammy so enlarged upon and builded up his business that he was the star of the performance, and was one con tinual laugh. He was recalled time after time, and all were sorry when he at last made his farewell bow.
 "Any Rags Stein's first chance to lay siege to the audiences attention, was sung by soloist and choiu with strength that insured the encore. By impossible facial contortions and count less other bits of good business sam my worked into favor in this piece, and he never lost his grip the remainder ot the evening. After he had returned to bis end chairihe never rested, turning everything into a merry joke. Any time the show dragged little, interest could be revived by one look at the lett end of the line on the stagN.'

Dear Sir: We know what the paints

to. In Wilson. N G. are two dealers.
One CT 'em thinks he can't sell paint
for more than 81 a. gallon; the other
won't have such stuff in his store
sells Devce lead-and-zinc, of course.
The 81 paint is adulterated 76 per
cont; Devoe is all lead and zinc and
linseed oil with as little good dryer
as possible. A gallon Deyoe has in II.
a little more neint than four gallons
of the other. A gallon Deyoe will cover
as much as four of the other. Who
wants to pay wages for painting four
gallons for one?
How much is Devoe lead-and.zinc
worth in that town? Yours truly
