WILL LIE AsoUr THE WEATHER.
Something About Which Honesty
Seems to Cut Little Figure.

The thing most lied about In the
world is the weather The weather
can't sue for libel, so 1t is safe thing
to lie about, although II does strike
back now and then.
Most people see no harm In stretch
ing meteorological truth: in fact. they
look with mistrust on the person who
insists upon handing the weather
square deal. If your neighbor says
his Thermometer registered 20 below
and you tell him that yours only
showed ten below, he despises you
for a person without imagination. In
the summer, likewise, when your mer-
curry stands at Sc In the shade and he
says his stands at 9S. you are the
one on whom popular doubt will rest.
Honesty is not the best policy when
the weather is under discussion, UNI
less you like to appear at disadvan-
tage.
There is large and flourishiug class
OF liars who everlastingly pretend to
know what the weather is going to do,
setting themselves up as intimate
friends of the weather, when, as every
one knows, their acquaintance is bare
ly a speaking one. Once in awhile a
born liar, meaning to lie, will tell the
truth in spite of himself and 1t is thus
with the weather professors; they
cant miss the right guess always. be-
cause there are so few things for the
weather man to do.
Call on half a dozen Of your weather
wise friends and ask them what It is
going to be tomorrow, and they will
disagree as widely as the alienists in
a murder trial. without any apparent
harm to their professional regulations.

IS WELL
 WORTH SEEING

The entertainment which was given at Elks hall last night by the Dante DurwOOd company was about the best of It's kind ever given In skagwoy and deserved a far larger audience than was present. Patrons of the play house in skagway have been "stung" SO many times that they are chary about putting on their glad rags and going to the show" But the Dante DurwOOd troupe furnish an excellent entertainment and It is tc he hoped that large house views the perform ance tonight.
 Frank Dante is an exceptionally clever cOn5urer, He has pleasing stage presence and his illusionistlc feats keep the audience mystlfied at all stages Of che game. His simla se- ance was a marvellous bit of work an funny expressions of surprise wreath ed the faces of Messrs; Kern, Pntten and Friedenthal, who examined the cabinet and apparatus used and tied Dante in the chair. While so con fined he rang bells, blew horn, un- tied knotted handkerchiefs and did ether mysterious tricks, while he was always seen bound hand and foot when the curtains were pulled away
 Pearl ATdyne proved a graceful and clever dancer. She is an artist in her line and her buck and wing dancing and clog steps were the best seen in skagtOwn for 10, these many moons.
 Baby pansy, the child actress, won the hearts of the audience She is dainty little miss, and as clever as she Is pretty, Her oriental imper- sonations and songs are remarkable for a child of her years,
 The moving pictures were very clear and interesting. Some very in- teresting films will be run off tonight
 Everybody last night was we'll plefs ed with the show and there should be a big crowd tonight. A number who saw the performance last night will be on hand again this evening. The curtain will go up at 8:SO. Tickets are on sale at Brltt's.
