Last Wednesday evening Hose Com pany No l, at the fremen's headquar- ters, was in the midst of an interesting business session" when there was an alarm at the door and without further ceremony twenty-six women and girls came laughing and talking into the room, and each one was armed with huge bundles which afterwards proved to be delicious eatsbles. The side room, which the fire boys have been begging for for some time, was pressed into service, temporary tables were put mp, and such eating! The ladies in- sisted that the boys eat first, but there was plenty for all and something like twelve baskets full left over. After wards Jack Mcdonald got out bis fiddle and good old.fashioned dance made things merry until after mid, night. It puts new life in the fire de, partment to know that the ladies ap, preeiate the efforts of its members. Or as one of the fire boys expressed it "Here's to the ladies, God bless them Our arms their defense; their grub our recompense."

A plan is on for the complete re- organization of the Treadwell fire de- partment. A committee of five mem- bers has been appointed for that pur- pose. The new plan makes the maxi mum membership of each company 25. As soon as the new foundry is complete the present pattern shop is to be fitted up for the exclusive use of the fire de- partment. In home of their own the boys will be better able to care for the apparatus, and they will also be able to enforce a certain degree of discipline always necessary in organizations of that kind.

After the Money

An action has been begun in the su-
 perior court of the state of Washington in and for the county of King, in which F. D. Moritz is the plaintiff and Sam Gius is the defendant. The plaintiff in bis complaint alleges in substance that on the second day of May, 1905, the de- fendant, Sam Gius, was running and managing a saloon annd dance hall in the town of Douglas, Alaska, and that on that day he was induced to enter the place and partske of drinks, which said drinks defendant had previously
 mixed and adulterated with powerful poisons, drugs and opiates, calculated and intended to produce, and which did produce upon plaintiff a state of coma, stupefaction and unconscious ness; that while he was under the in- fluence of the dope, the defendant went through his pockets and relieved him of S1,75O. Plaintiff also alleges that the poison administered to him by the defendant has converted him from a strong and able bodied man into a physical wreck. He asks for the 8, ,15O for the first cause of action and S4O,OOO for the injury to bis health.
 The old time friends of Sam Gius in Douglas are. surprised and indignant that he should be made the victim of such an action. Sam lived in Douglas for many years and was always known as an honest man. Douglas people are inclined to believe that no such thing ever happened in Sam's place, either with or without bis knowledge. If the man Moritz ever lost such an amount of money he was very still about it, for neither the city marshal nor the police judge ever heard of it. And then again, in 1905, on April 4, the people of Douglas thought enough of Sam Gius to elect him member ot the city conn- cil. At the meeting of the council held on April I7th Mir. Gius asked for leave of absence for ninety days, which was granted, and he left for Tacoma the day following and did not return to Douglas until the latter part of August.

Little Things

The story goes that one of the teach CTS at the Douglas school is rather given to scolding., The pupils have mo- ticed it. One day recently the class in physiology was reciting and the teacher asked the question, "What muscles in my body are most in use?" The smart boy of the class immediately shouted out, "YoGr tongue!"
 #x#
 Another story comes from the Tread well school. The teacher said, "Let all the boys who would like to be pFesi- dent of the United States hold up their hands," Every boy in the school held up his hand, except one little skinny fellow who sat over in the corner. "Johnny," said the teacher, wouldn't you like to be president" "Yes," said the boy, "but it's no use. Our folks are all democrats"
 
 Down at the mines an Irish shift boss was busily engaged in putting handles in pile of broken sledges, when the superintendent came along. "You must have some strong men in the mine," he said to Pat. "Yis," said Pat, stopping in his work but second. "SOme of thim you can smell mile"
