Treble Clef.
One Of the most deligh

One of the most delightful
sessions in the history Of the
Treble Clef occurred yesterday
afternoon when Mrs. F. A.
Sims and Mrs. Ed Madsen were
hostessess at the home of the
former on Sixth street. After
a splendid musical programme
had been enjoyed, each lady,
having previously brought sew
eral old pieces of music, began
diligently to mend the same.and
when they were all completed
it was hard to tell most of the
old music from the new. At
fivethirty when the guests were
invited into the dining room
a pretty picture greeted them.
The color scheme of yellow and
white was carried throughout
the decorations and refresh
ments. A large bouquet of
yellow roses occupied the pro-
minent place of center piece.
The place favors were miniature
flower pots containing little
flowers. The name cards were
hand painted Easter lilies exc
cuted by Mrs. Earl Edgecomb
of Omaha. A splendid supper
in two courses was served by
Mesdames Sims and Madsep.
Places were laid for twelve
guests.

Just the Thing for
 the BaldheadS

New York, Nov. 1.-The latest hirsute makeup for women consists of turban frame covered with sleeky, smooth or softly waved hair and long switches or thick plaits to be coiied round the frame so as to practically cover the head. FL aborate artificial curls help out things, bobbing up and down when the wearer walks fast or dances. Women look too top-heavy with this new coiffure, but it's the fashion and that's sufficient.

KN0CKER IS
 LAID TO REST
His Name, However, Wili'GO Thun-
 derine Down the Ages.

The "Post Knocker" is dead! The last sad rites were held over his remains Saturday night.
 A hay vote of the post was taken, and by unanimous vote it was decided the Knocker must go where knockers belong. Brinke stuffed the ballot box in most shameless manner, and 300 votes were thrown out as result. Still there were enough left to carry the day for the in- surgents.
 All agreed that reorganization under the anti-trusting law was necessary. So the knocker was led out behind the post barn and shot.
 A detail ot 65 men were supplied with blank cartridges-all except one.
 The poor Knocker, tethered to a fence post, was shaking in his shoes. He beg ged for mercy, but in vain.
 With a long, reverberating sound the 65 guns belched forth their deadly mis- sles of powder and wads.
 The lone bullet shattered the post and struck the Knocker speechless. With a triumphant yell the army broke ranks and fled for the canteen-all except 40, who bravely stood by their guns.
 Their bravery was rewarded by a won- derful sight: for, To! and behold! a quick-eyed, handsome youth was seen to emerge from the brush heap where the Knocker lay. He had the graceful figure of sergt. Woofter and the winning smile of the "Bum." He was dressed in emaculate white duck, and apparent ly had just had a close shave at the hands of the company L barber.
 The Knocker had done the Ponce de Leon act, and the Jekyll-Hyde transfor- nation was complete. He passed down the long line of awe-inspired men, who saluted, bowed and scraped in humble submission.
 As he passed through the gate of the post he quickened his step. He was seen to enter the Yukon Valley News office, and presently he appeared at the typewriter keys and began pounding out

THE ANVIL CHORUS

Woofter and MacCloud, of the wireless, think they are fire fighters. Recently they saw smoke towards town. Each grabbed an armful of fire extinguishers and waddled across lots as best they could. Woofter declared Woodsawyer Ole's gasoline was exploding. He knew it by the color of the smoke. They found Wm. Davis burning some old copies of the News, but they emptied the contents of all the extinguishers on the burning papers just the same-so no one would laugh When they returned home, Mac assumed that old-woman attitude of II told you so," saying he knew all the time it was not gasoline by the color of the smoke!
 MacCloud has been limiting for free copy of the paper, claiming he is an old newspaper man. From an old carpet bag he dragged forth bundle of busi- ness cards, neatly tied with a yellow cigar box ribbon. He selected the clean est one with great deliberation, and passed it to the Anvil Chorister." It read: "Joseph Angelieus MacCloud,

ONLY PAY TUB
 IN TANANA
Jack Cavanaush Taking the Place
 of the Gold Dust Twins.
(By "The Chorister."

Jack Cavanaugh, Tanana's health of ficer, is winning fame by having the only pay-a-dollar bath tub in town.
 When Williams left for the Iditarod with his tub, Jack came to the rescue. He wired to Dawson for tub but failed to get one. He finally secured one at Fairbanks.
 It is now situated in the rear of the Gibbon barber shop. Two beer taps of the old Floradora dance hall in Fair banks which Cavanaugh ran, belch forth hot water when coaxed sufficiently A powerful sluicehead is provided by an old beer keg hanging from the ceiling.
 The tub is perched up high like throne. You ascend to it by an old cracker box, pairof stairs and ladder.
 The bathroom is enclosed by screen. A cheery effect is produced by the deli cately "hewed" paper of oriental de- sign, furnished by Lee X Wing. Drag ons, teacups and whirligig designs are pasted on the paper in great profusion. Taken, all in all, its an art gallery in itself.
 LIFE PREsERvERs.
 The tub is provided with one of those detachable seats so you can hang on if the water gets too deep. You bring your own scrub-brush, but Jack keeps on hand piece of soap and one or two tow els, however, to be used if needed Rockwell drums up trade. Every morning he climbs up the ladder into the tub. Whenever the door creaks he cranes his neck over the framework, and if its man who looks as if he needed bath, Rock. splashes around and sings out, ''come on in, boys, the waters fine"
 The invitation has the desired effect, and every day 40 or 50 (more or less) climb the ladder and climb down again, murmuring cleanliness is next to-the ceiling"
 Rockwell keeps stock of cigars and candy on hand for his own use. Noone denies him this luxury. He's doing great work. Peace be with him.
