LIVED CRUsOE LIFE
ON ANTIPODES ISLANDS

A strange story reached Queenstown,
recently from Lyttelton, New Zealand,
of the adventures of Captain Noel and
twenty-one members of the crew Of the
French barque President Felix Faure,
which was driven on the Antipodes Is,
lands, south of New Zealand.
The men landed on one of the islands,
with no clothes save those they ha / on,
and after enduring great privations afor
seven weeks they were rescued by the
British warship Pegasus.
Captain Noel, relating the story of
the castaways said that fortunately for
them the New Zealand government keep
quantity of provisions on the island
in case of emergency. AS week sue.
eeeded week, however, the rations had
to be reduced to such an extent that
the men became ravenous for food.
Out of the wreckage washed ashore
nails were obtained, and these were
made into fsh-hooks to catch fish.
Blades of pen-knives were fashioned
into needles, hair-combs were made
from bushthorns, and altogether the
men led regular Crusoe life. On sew
eral occasions messages written in PEN
ell were fastened to the neck Of an
albatross in the hope that the birds
might be captured and thus secure as.
for the castaways.
One of these messages was being writ
ten, in which the men said all hope was
abandoned, when the Pegasus was
sighted and took off the crew, who were
almost mad with hunger.

are poor by decree. Hardly a nickel
is permitted them to carry about on
their persons. Whatever money is due
them, as allowance from friends or rela-
tives, never touches their hands, but
is kept for them by the prison authori-
ties. Occasionally a trifie of money
comes to them through their industry
in fashioning watch fobs from kukui
nuts, or making fancy watch chains
from horse hair, or making trinkets out
of bone, etc.
So the determination of these men
to add to the fund being raised for the
nuns is worthy of more than passing
comment. 1t is a real sacrifice on their
part But they ask for a chance and
cigar box with the lid nailed down
and a slit cut in the cover will be the
mitch and into this the prisoners
deposited their share of the fund.
Maybe the largest coin put in that
rough box might not have been more
than a quarter, but the majority of
coins were nickels. The amount raised
by the prisoners was $40.

FINE SERENADE

A couple of wandering musicians treated the Wrangsll citizens to fine serenade last Saturday afternoon and evening. The instruments upon which they performed were blow accordeon and an harmonica, and the tune which they played was slightly frayed out on the edges before they got around. The music was really begter than that made by a hand-organ, and in the absence of a monkey to take up a collection, both performers acted in that capacity. The musicians visited almost every house and store in town and accumulated a good load of cigars and other refresh ments, only being refused at one store, whose proprietor is compelled to prac- tice strict economy. If you don't be- lieve this story ask Oscar Carlson or Fred stackpole.

AFRAID OF ALASKA

The Juneau Record says that accord ing to the Pacific Fisherman the success sion of wreck this year, in which many of the Chinese laborers who came north to work in the canneries, lost their lives, has had the effect of making the remain ing Chinamen superstitious, and it is said that it may be even more difficult to secure full crews of Oriental labor for the cannerles than it has besn in the past few years.
 The awful wreck of the Star of Bengal carried to death scores of Chinese labor- CTS, and it ie statsd that an impression prevails among the laborers that it was the work of fate, and that they are likely to meet with a similar destiny if they continue in this work. If it comes to point where cannerymen must em- ploy white help it will mean higher cost in the production of red salmon and of the other grades packed in Alaska, and consequent increase in the selling price is bound to result.
 The Chinese companies who furnished the men lost on the Star of Bengal are airanging to send an expedition north to recover all the bodies possible, that they may be properly returned to their own country for burial.

FAILED. TO CONNECT

An intellectual attempt to kill or int jure Deputy Marshal Bert Faulkner of Juneau was recently made by some par ty or parties, the identity of whom is unknown. Mir. Falkner is occupying the residence of Governor Hoggatt dur ing that gentlsman's absence, and upon opening the gate one night about weed ago, found string across the gate. He investigated and found that the string was attached to a revolver fastened to the fence in such manner as to be discharged Ly the opening of the gate. The death trap was set by the Western Federation of Miners-at least that is the deduction of the Juneau Record.

FINISHED AT PETERSBURG

Mrs. Mary E. Hart completed her organization work for Southeastern AL aska at Petersburg, Monday of this week, when she organized the enthusi- astic ladies of that thriving little town into an auxiliary and instructed them in the work of the A. Y. P. E. The ladies of Peterburg take up the work with the characteristic energy and public spirit edness of the people of that town. and the ladies of the other Alaskan towns will have to hustle lest the Petersburg auxiliary carries off the doughnuts when the big fair comes off. Remember, the people of Petersburg talk little, but at the same time they keep the wood saw in oderation,
 The officers chosen for the Petersburg organization are as follows: Mrs. Ray, president; Mrs. Henrickson, 1st vice president; Mrs. Sommers, 2nd vice president; Mrs. Nudge, secretary; Mrs Runstad, assistant secretary; Miss Lindsey, Treasurer. The committees will be published later. being omitted now on account of lack of space.
 After completing this organization Mrs. Hart returned to Juneau, expect. ing to soon be sent into the interior to pursue the work among river camps and towns. Mrs. Hart is highly pleased with the progress of the work already done by the auxiliaries of southeastern Alaska, and says she is sure that the exhibits in all the branches in this sec tion will be credita5ls ones.

 The repairs which have been going ot
 at the Wrangell wharf are almost com.
 pleted, the approach having been partly
 repaired last winter. The main wharf
 has been almost wholly replied.
 The past week at Wrangell has been a Sort of mixture as tancerns the weather. There have been ice, fain, snow, hail,
 wind and sunshine, but at no time has fnefcuty dropped lower than 2S aboze zero. Think of that, you people of the states where blizzatds are the order and Jack Frost is king.
 It will only cost you $2 to have us write ono letter each week for year to your friends and relatives "baci there, " and we pay the postage. Writing letters is right in our line, and if you want your people in the states to know what is going on about Wrangell, just hand Us $2 and we will attend to the letters for d whole year. January is a good time to begin.

Some men imagine they are great and try to tear up, Jack, but each one meets the same old fate and trots the same old track. Great Caesars dead and turned to clay, and 80 is Cicero; Alexander has gone the way the rest of us must go the sages, poets, heroes, and all the men of worth, into the open grave must fall and crumble back to earth, Then let's not join the mad affray to struggle like the deuce, and agonize our. lives away, for really what's the useY Let's live and love and sing the while, and work some now and then, and give to every- one smile that cheers the hearts of men; and whether we are crowned with flowers or chilled with winter snows, With happiness let's fill, the hours, 'ers ws turn up our toes. ."-Ex.
