DO you REMEMBER


An anticipated calamity that actual
iy came?
A sycophant who turned out to be a
real friend?
A bad man who was really as bad as
he was reputed?
An actor that wasn't thoroughly de-
lighted with himself
An absconding cashier who wasn't
"a trusted employer"
A man who went wrong who wasn't
"a highly-respected citizen?"
A woman criminal who was not
beautiful and apparently refined?"
A horse that could trot as fast as the
man who sold him to you said he
could?
Anybody who achieved sinlessness
before starting fusillade of stones at
others?
A successful man who used up nine
tenths of his time telling what he vas
going to do next
A prize fighter that went through the
throes of the championship without
becoming demoralied?

Unalaska, in the Alaskan Islands,
Desolate spot-Where White
Men May Not Land.

Unalaska resembles other northern
stations, having warehouses, docks,
the inevitable Greek church and
score of wooden cabins. Whalers leave
here for the Arctic regions.
Dutch Harbor is a station for our
revenue feet. There is much coming
and going of ships of all nations;
there are quite formidable feet, and
only two ships out of twelve carry
colors of the same country.
Just before entering the harbor one
notices a detached rock high against
the side of the cliff. 1t bears strik-
ing resemblance to a Russien prize
in full robes Touched by the sunset
light, he seemed to stand blessing the
harbor.
Sailing north out into Behrlng sea,
one looks back at the desolatc silent,

miles west they run toward Vladi-

Two hundred and forty miles north
of Unalaska are the Pribilof islands;
not large, but the greatest seal islands
in the world. There are many fur
seals around the Shores of Behring

great mass of them are bred on the

There Is good reason for the belief thai
M,dshIpmen Worth w Foster OF New AL

Pensacola. Fla, have been found guilty OF
hazing The record in each of these cases
was forwarded by the court more than
twenty-four hours ago. and 1t is officially
stated that they are awaiting the action
of the Secretary of the Navy. This Is con-
sidered to be equivalent to saying That a
verdict Of guilty was rendered. IL this mao
not been the case. 1t is thought, the men
would have been released from arrest within
an hour or two of the receipt OF the rec
ords by Admiral Sands.
Both of the midshipmen belong to the
first class, and would have graduated on
February II. They are regarded as gooo

TALLY alleged in the first case against De-

that he has been twice in jeopardy for the
