Because Bro. Pattangall left the Re-

Democrats, is no good reason why others
should do likewise. 1t reminds us of the
story of the fox that got caught in a trap
and had its tail cut off. Later the tail
less fox called a meeting Of the other
foxes and in addressing the meeting ad-
vised all the foxes to have their tails cut
off, claiming that it was so much more
convenient to get around without that

day, in a small cabin. there is engen- dered much familiarity, with heated discussion and possibly acute differ ences of opinion, which, however, are healed with magic swiftness as soon as terra firma, their Mecca. is reached. As a humorous illustration of these conditions, writer on the pilots life once said
 There is more loud talking and less fighting on board pilot boat than in any place outside of France"
 But dangers come to them as test of true manhood, for lying in the path of shipping, there are sometimes col lisions and other mishaps with which the general public never becomes ac- ouainted Many bitter experiences come to them, while occasionally one of their boats is cut down or never heard from again. The James Hurley, of Philadelphia, during a northeast gale, some years ago, dropped out of sight a half dozen pilots and her entire crew being lost.
 Many rescues are effected by the pilots off their ports. Much property is saved by their service, it being esti- mated that in the single state of Vir- ginia, the steam pilot boat Relief has saved not far short of a million dollars during 15 years. This saving of life and property, aside from the specific duty of piloting, goes ceaselessly on at all the ports of this nation.

 Alaska moose,' said Brown yesterday at the Rainier Grand Hotel, lis the best game food to be had in Alaska and those who subsist for a large part of the time on the game of the country are careful when they kill a big moose or any other kifd of big game. to have means at hand to take care of the carcass and save it.
 q remember not many months ago, in the White River county, when our food ran short and we killed big bull moose and made away in the next few days with the most of his good points. We were travelling over rolling, partly open coun- try in the direction of the Tanana valley, and every particle of fresh meat counted, When the carcass was all butchered ur and packed away I boiled the big, bristly, fat nose of this moose about 24 hours

Spectacular magnificence, dramatic spirit and religious ecstasy are the dis tinctive concomitants of Klaw and Err hangers production of Ben Hur," which begins an engagement limited to three evenings and one matinee performance, at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night. The children will be especially interested in the special matinee to be given on Wednesday afternoon, as it is an offer ing which particularly appeals to young people and one which all parents desire their children to see, because it is inter esting and wholesome. both for the love tale it relates and for the historical infor- nation 1t imparts.
 Theatre-goers are cautioned that the curtain during the "Ben-Hur" engage ment is raised promptly at o'clock in the evening and at o'clock at the mat inee. The drama opens with prelude, 'The Star of Bethlehem," accompanied by orchestral and vocal music, and late corners will not be seated until its con clusion, in order not mar it's beauty and mystic charm.
 The cast this season includes Thurs ton Hall as Ben-Hur. Wilmer L. Walter, Henry Weaver, William Leyden, Charles M. Harris, Alfred Hollingsworth, Charles Garfield. Helen Singer. Josephine Morse. Gertrude Dalton, Stella B. Weaver @and Meta Green.

At the Gayety.

The attraction which will usher in the week at the Gayety theatre will be the Fred Irwin's big show.
 Six big vaudeville acts are promised in the olio, consisting of the following head liners: Campbell and Kenney,l parody and sidewalk conversationalists; Ward, Lynch & Co., rural comedy artists; Brady and Mahoney as the Hebrew fireman and the foreman, and the Watson sisters, clogpedalists.
 Two new burlesques will be the feature of the opening burletta, 'The Great White Way" and closing with the extremely funny slSit, 'Ladis' Day at the Actors Club" both in which the entire strength of the company will take part. surrounded by a chorus of 30 trained voices of quail ity seldom heard outside of more pre- tentious companies. The musical numbers are original. light and catchy, and every encouragement is given the soloist to do her best. The principal parts in the bur- lesque are intrusted to Margaret Bennett. Hazel Saenger and Lillian Carter, while the comedy falls to the fate of Murry Livingston, Harry Campbell, Billy Walsh, Joe Brady, Louis Bates Frank Lynch, William Kenney and others. During the action of the burlesque the three Ben nett sisters will give an exhibition in physical culture.
 The management desires to state that as the Fred Irwins other show, known at the New Majestics, that appears at this theatre in two weeks, is a separate and distinct company.
 Matinees will be given daily at the Gayety.
