POST KNOCKER

An event of great import was over- looked last week. Word was flashed over the wire from Parsons, Kan, that an 9-pound bouncing baby boy had been born to Mrs. Barksdale. Mother and child are doing nicely. The sergeant passed around two or three Owl cigars (noW cents) among his many friends.
 Knowlton's Scotch terrier has been busted from under the pool table, SO the sergeant decided to make a leader of him. He can be seen daily on his hands and knees disentangling the dogs harness. Capt. Robson, mail packer, advised him to get moccasins for the an- imal. Thoroughly brushing the dogs teeth daily was essential. Dr. McGinnis was consulted and said the terriers bi- cuspids needed enamel filling (natural color. Some bridge work would do no harm. Although Doc. said he had 14 bridges to get out before payday, a TO- span bridge would be just the thing The sergeant must, however, deposit the cost of material, f. o. b. New York.
 Pieper's owl has turned up in Go. L. Priv. Bill Perley saw him perched on a stump, meditating, near the skating rink. He landed him with skate and then he and Sergt. Brinkley carried him home. The bird is now roasting in a box the size of six potato crates. They have named him MarkO. His surname is Korine. They think the bird has heart trouble.

DEPUTY WRICHT'S
 BOAT WRECKED

His boat caught in an ice jam 12 miles above Mouse Point, Deputy Wright, Nulato, was rescued by natives who came to the rescue. The boat was filling fast and the situat tion was serious, says Capt. Robson, who returned to Panama last week with 30 pounds of lower river mail. The deputy reached Nulato in safety.
 He was returning from Fairbanks, where he appeared against H. Sheppard, accused of giving liquor to a native known as Mike. Sheppard was bound over by Judge Strangman, Nulato The grand jury returned "no true bill" The witnesses who returned to Nulato with the deputy were Mike, Louie, Julius and Chief Andrew
 J.O. Stevens, of Panama, was indicted by the grand jury on the charge of giv- ing liquor to Maria Oats, a native, who had also been bound over. Maria was exonerated by the grand jury and is now back in Tanana

NEW ROADHOUSE
 AT nIELOzI PORTAGE

The announcement that a roadhouse has been built on the Melozi portage will be learned with great deal of sat isfaction. The hostlery is located be- tween Corning and Melozi, 26 miles below Kokrines.
 Mushers have often felt the need of roadhouse at that point and it remained for Ed Vent to fill this want. He has built frst-class roadhouse with every convenience. He owns fine stable and dog kennels. There is heavy traffic across the portage in winter and Vent is bound to make good.

OUR BASEBALL
 FINAL COURT
Micky Woods Has Lifelong Lease
 on Bench.

Micky Woods, of the Panama, is the Alaskan baseball authority. Everyone is proud of Micky, for he can rattle off the history of every ball player ever heard of, what teams he played with, his fielding, batting and base-stealing record of any period.
 Whenever there is dispute on base ball, Micky Woods is the final court of appeal, Micky's word goes. His decis- ions are accepted without mulmur. A player of the old Spokane team l5 years ago, Micky always knows what he is talking about.
 A crowd of excited men come into Micky's place.
 'Micky," says the spokesman, "did Hughey Jennings ever lose a game for Boston?'
 'He did," replies Micky, without wincing. "In 1894, July 17, the third game of the series with the Giants he made two costly errors. A hot grounder caught him in the jaw in the second and he muffed an easy fly in the first part of the eighth"
 q thought so, 1 thought so,' tri umphantly cries the spokesman.
 "Micky," chimes in another, "when did Papa Anson take his first chew''--
 Make Hurried Exit.
 ''Get out, you muts!" and the crowd hurriedly adjourns to ''Scotty" Rays to find out whether the Leah, Capt. Bled soc, reached Panama at 8 A. NJ. or at S:3O, Aug. II, 1905.
 Panama boasts of number of old baseball fans and players. Supt Jules Marion was star first baseman when at St. Boniface college. "One summer we wiped the whole earth," he proudly says.
 w. B. Rodn.an admits that he is fan, but won't tell whether he ever played or not.
 Oscar Lundin admits he can't play ball, but says he would like'to.
 J. Russell Walle doesn't care about baseball. He prefers a game they call locust or cricket, a cross between bowling match and golf. They use 6-inch board for bat.

Tn. Air atak..

To forget the inventions of the hour
is an impossibility. They are before
one at every turn, and many Of them
contain potentialltfes vast and much
discussed For that very reason it is
well occasionally to contemplate some
invention of the past which works un-
remittingIy and inconspicuousy for
the welfare of mankind. Consider the
air brake. How many when they take
a journey by rail ever take thought OF
the device which stands ready to In
sure safety from possible accidentsf
All are so used to sibilant noise below
the cars that they never consider its
portentousness. Yet by this appica-
ton of the power Of compressed air
tens Of thousands of lives have been
preserved and railroad travel has been
made more expeditions. All this Is
arrant truism; not a word Of 1t but
what has been said scores Of times be-
fore. But we like to dwell upon the
air brake as one Of those typical IN
ventions which are doing their work
faithfully and humbly while recent
creations get the glory and applause

pleasing to all who witnessed it.
The Dalles officers and uniformed

In Praisn of the Eskimns.

Commander Peary In the narrative
describing his discovery Of the north
pole devotes very long chapter to
the Eskimos. with whom be has had
intimate dealings for eighteen years.
He tells us that though they are saw
ages they are not savage; that though
they are without government they are
not lawless; that though they are un
educated they exhibit a remarkable
degree of intelligence. He assures us
that they have no religion, yet he
describes them as destitute of vice and
ready to share their last meal with the
hungry. He thinks 1t would be impos-
sible to Christianize them, but they al.
ready possess the cardinal graces Of
faith. hope and charity, for without
them they could never survive the six
months night and the other rigors Of
their home"

"Thon" is the word which has been
suggested for use as an English pro
noun of common gender, luxury
which the English language has thus
far had the fortitude to forego 1t was
considered suitable for English be-
cause 1t came from the Greek Its use
may be illustrated as follows:
If parent desires to spank thon's
(his or her. as the case may bel child
thon (he or she, should take thOn (him,
her or it, across thon's knee. Then
thon should remove thon's slipper, and
after explaining to the child the repre-
hensibility of thOn's conduct thon
should apply the slipper to that por'
ton of thon's anatomy which from
time immemorial has been dedicated to
that purpose.
1t may easily be seen from the above
how "thon" effects great clarihcation.-

BY common consent the greatest of
all historians in Thucydides, the Greek
contemporary of PerIcles and author
of the history Of the Peloponnesian
war. One Of the greatest tributes that
can be paid to him is that, according
TO the estimate of very able critic,
we have more exact account Of
long and eventful period by Thucyd
ides than we have Of any period in
modern history, equally long and event
full. and yet all this is compressed into
a single volume. For concise, vigor
