For ins .ance when the big excursion boats were in port Mon day, we noticed quite a bunch of tourists of the feminine persuasion standing in front of the St. Mich aels, over we went to see what the cause of the commoion was, and discovered one of the efficient oper- ating force of that concern, (we don't intend to mention any names but it wasn't the Hon. Mayor, nor Leo, nor Johnnie Schuler) handing out such winning smiles with the moccasins he was selling, that the

ladies simply had to stop. The next day we made the discovery Mrs. Milligan was a passenger Oh the City of Seattle, making the round trip to Sitka.
 It is whispered that Mike" (of course that isn't his name, but it'll do as a disguise) is planning all kinds of fancy stunts in the near future-his wife is leaving for the south on an early boat. It does beat all how when the cats away the mice will play" :" or words to that effect.
 Fortunately for The Sentinel's editor, he is the editor, and so can keep his eye on the copy, and thus see to it that nobody ''smouches' into the paper any account of bis actions during this stage of his grass widowerhood." You see there's some mighty good features in being the whole squeeze" on the paper after all. By the way, our rate for printing any old kind of a notice in this paper is five cents per line, while the price for keeping anything out can be dis covered upon application at the business office. How's that for gentle hint?
