The foregoing is a very new specimen of English music hall humor. MT. Peasley thinks 1t is the best thing he has heard since he struck London, and he has seen a play by Henry Arthur Jones and attended services at St. Paurs. After going to the music hall three times he succeeded in getting the words. and he is now working on the air.
 We did not expect to have Mr. Peas ley with us in London He planned to hurry on to Paris. but he has been waiting here for his trunk to catch up with him. The story of the trun< will come later.
 As we steamed into Plymouth Harbor on . damp and overcast Sabbath morn ing. Mir Peasley stood on the topmost deck and gave encouraging informa- ton to a man from Central Illinois who was on his first trip abroad MT. Peas ley had been over for six weeks in 1895. and that gave him license to do the "old traveller speciality.
 In beginning story he would say, T remember once I was crossing on the Umbria." or possibly, That reminds me of a funny thing I once saw in Munich He did not practise to de- cefve. and yet he gave strangers the impression that he had crossed on the Umbria possible twelve or fourteen times and had spent years in Munich.
 The Illinois man looked up to MT. Peasley as a modern Marco Polo. and Mr. Peasley proceeded to unbend to him

The Alaska Yukon-P Exposition appropriation bill has been introduced. It provides for S1 ,250,0O0 from the fed eral government, S500,000 for the Alas ka exhibit and S175,0OO for the Hawaiian islands and Philippines.

 Knock and the world knocks with you, Boost and you boost alone.

 Will see you first,
 If you don't proceed to cough. Be rich, and the push will praise you, Be poor, and they'll pass the ice, You're warm young guy
 When you start to buy,
 You're slob if you haven't the price. Be flush and your friends are many Go broke, and they say "Ta-Ta." While your bank account burns You will get returns, When it's out you will get the "Ha-Ha." Be gay and the mob will cheer you, They'll shout while your wealth
 endures.
 Show a fearful lamp
 And you'll see them tramp,
 And it's back to the woods for yours. There's always bunch to boost you, While at your money they glance, But you'll find them all gone On the cold grey dawn, When the fringe shows up on your pants.-Lowery's Claim.

Home of the North Wind

During the last cold spell the "Stroll- CT" of the Whitehorse Star visited Skagway, and this is what he wrote when he got home:
 A colored child once propounded the following question to his ebony-hued teacher
 "Pofessah, whar do all de watah go when de tide done run out"
 And the teacher, to conceal his own ignorance, replied. "Mah chile, to understan' de collossalness ob dat pro- penditicn yo' mus fus' mastah de La tin languidge. B. Pluribus onions sic semper horrendum infandum maginnis pnegissimo. Does yo' understan' an submasticate dat?"
 And the stroller came to the same conclusion while studying the habits of the north wind (pronounced winde) last week at Skagway where he was storm bound for several days. He did not worry over where the wind was going but he had desire to know where it all came from and recourse to knowledge "ob de Latin languidge" brought no information.
 The Indian meaning of the word Skagwayi is Home of the North Wind. This is mistake. Skagway is not the home of the north wind. The north wind does not like Skagway, otherwise it would not pass over and through the town in such haste as it invariably does, only pausing sufficiently long to examine the texture of undercloth- ing worn.
 AS a class the people of Skagway have the warmest hearts and the cold est houses the stroller has ever seen. As rule lumb Der enters largely into the make up of all houses but at Skag- way the houses appear to consist prin- cipally of cracks between lumber. This is probably to enable the wind to pass on unobstructed and without the necessity of changing it's course.
 The only way to obtain hot toddy effect in Skagway last week was to chip off a chunk of booze, soak it in alcohol, set fire to it (if the match did not blow out and gulp it down blue blaze and all.
 Speaking of matches blowing out the business man of Skagway at this sea- son of the year always stick their heads in safes to light their pipes.
 If person could travel sufficiently fast to catch sample of Skagway wind and then have it assayed, the Stroller is of the opinion it would be found to be pure and fresh. The word "fresh" is used without fear of contradiction.
 If Yukon could borrow Skagways wind next July there would not be a mosquito this side of the Yukon flats "A hours after hostilities begun.
 The Stroller hopes sometime to re- turn to Florida where camp-meetings are held in the virgin forest in Decem- Der and January and attended by bare- footed negroes, and where the deep- toned bazoo of the allegator in near by lagoon serves as sort of amen re- joiner. But Florida camp-meetings and alligator bazoos never seemed so far away from the stroller as during his enforced residence at Skagway last week when Old Bory had the exclusive right of way on the White Pass rail- road.

The "Alaska Churchman" is the latest Alaskan paper to make it's ap- pearance. It is published at Fairbanks in the interest of the Episcopal church. The Rev. Charles E. Betticher is the editor.
 Dawson Charley the only Indian in the Yukon who was "citizenized" and had the privilege of buying drink a la white man, has been relegated back to his pristine condition, he having been legally interdicted.
 The department of justice is prepar- ing tc send ali agent to Alaska to in- vestigate the charges made by an Alas kan grand jury at Juneau against the steamships operating in Alaskan wa ters. The grand jury charged that the steamship companies are in combina- tion in restraint of trade.
 Waskey introduced his placer min ing bill before the adjournment of con- gress for the holiday recess. His bill does away with proxies entirely. It proposes that all filings on mining claims hereafter shall be in person. The bill also provides for the election of three road commissioners at the same time as the delegates are elected and for the same length of term.
 Athletics is attracting great deal of attention at Fairbanks this winter. They have organized curling teams and hockey teams and other outdoor amusements are proposed. There are many bowling tournaments under way, and the Eagles Club will have good deal of boxing, wrestling and other in- door amusement.
 The Whitehorse Star says: pr. Thompson, Tom O'Brien and others who arrived on the stage Sunday night are authority for the statement that in coming down the long hill between Wounded Moose and Stewart crossing Driver Billy McAdams took off his gloves and rolled cigarette when the thermometer registered 69 degrees be. low zero.
 The Haines sawmill has been sold by Woods and Dennerline to two brothers named Coombes, who recently came north from Puget sound. The mill will be greatly improved and shingle mill and box factory will be added to it. The Coombes brothers recently sold mill on Puget sound receiving S100,O00 for their property, and have decided to come to Alaska. The loca- ton on Lynn canal looked good to them and they will locate at Haines. The Haines mill has a acapacity of about 10000 day.
 It has been held at Fairbanks that four members of a city council in Alaska constitute a quorum. This is in the face of statute which provides that five memb bers are quorum. It is held that the statutory provision is directory and not mandatory. A quar- rel among the councilmen had develop ed at Nome, and those members of the body who did not agree with the ma jority remained away from it's sessions, leaving only four men at them. It was decided that congress never intended that a minority should control the council or prevent the city from doing business-hence the decision that four men could meet and transact the city's business.

Cockney's Troubles.

Judge Martin Ryan called the roll
in the police court this morning and
there were only two responses. One was
Frank Sheperd. a az year old who was
born in Moorhead and brought up IN
Fargo. The other was Henry Robbins.
Both were charged: with vagrancy. Co.,. =,
The manner in which Sheperd has
gained an existence has long been a
subject of considerable speculation on
the part of the police, SO when a shack
near the river. was broken into and
robbed last night, he was gathered in
on suspicion. After an investigation
it was found that the young man could
not be held on the serious. charge and
the minor charge of vagraiicy was then
preferred. '...

who drove one of the delivery wagons,
