SKAGWAY A. B.'s XMAS

For several years the Arctic Brother hood at Skagway have entertained the town in Christmas eve. Every child in town receives a present. In Skagway Christmas belongs to the Arctic Broth erhood and the A. B. Christmas enter tainment to the town. The twenty fifth of December is nearly a month away, but preparations are already go- ing forward there. The Alaskan says:
 At an early hour yesterday after noon, after first looking we'll to their arms, and girding up their Joins, be- lieving that they were taking their lives in their hands, four courageous men went forth to gather in funds for the A B. Annual Christmas festivities.
 They were not long, however, in find ing that they had nothing to fear, for from the very first man to the last one called upon, they met with only words of good fellowship and encouragement.
 Each one of the merchants called upon responded with that spirit which has always been manifest by the busi- ness men of Skagway when asked to contribute to worthy cause, and the salaried men were no less generous. Some times a cloud passed over the person called upon, but when the mis- sion of the callers was made known, IL &l1 brow, and cheerful smile stole over his countenance, while at the same time the pocket book came to light and the committee were wished success in the undertaking.
 Just what the plans are this year is not yet known, but all the friends of the Arctic Brotherhood may rest assured that this years preparation for old Santa Claus will be up to the usual standard established in the old sourdough days.
 Several fine monarchs of the forest have been marked, but the committee having the 'Etree' in hand, doesn t know which is the strongest, largest and most symmetrical, so that it will be several days before they will be able to decide but then we know at will be there, and that is encouraging.
 It has been hinted by several of the merchants that in making their selec- tion of holiday stocks, they kept this occasion in mind, and the kiddies can look forward to some new ideas which old Santa will spring.
 Secretary Dortero is growing gray over the thought that "Soma kida mighta be forget so it might be we'll if the parents of children who are not attending school would just drop postal card to MT. Santa Claus, care of Tony, and advise him of the fact that there is {" a baby in the house.

Met saAsmall amount of fun has been
hada during the past few days with
a clerk in one of the stores on Water
street because of the way in which
he had been taken in. The clerk has
been there for about a year. and on
beginning his duties in the store he
noticed the presence of a very hand
some palm, Taking the plant under
his especial care the first day he en-
tered the store he carefully watered
ii and then followed up the practice
three times each week. Finally, when
the palm was placed on a shelf so as
20 be out of the way he still continued
TO water it, although he had to mount
a step ladder to get at ii, in blissful
ignorance all the while that there was
a joke in connection with the palm and
that he was the only one in the store
who was not wise to it. The truth
came out the other day when one of
the firm suggested that the palm be
| taken down and busted. and while this
act was in progress the pot holding
| the palm was dropped and broken, re-
vealing to the eyes of the astonished
young man that the palm was an
artificial one and that what lie had
been so carefully watering for almost
a year was nothing but a stick,

Daniel Rice of this city. who is with
his wife occupying cottage on Her
seys Island, Cobbosseecontee, fer the
season, is without doubt high line
among Augusta fishermen at the lake
when Il comes to the number of fish
taken. Dan does not claim to have
landed more trout CT salmon this
spring than any of the boys, but when
it comes to catching horned pouts
that is his long suit. He is q past
master in that particular line of pisc1-
toriai sport and has no dangerous
rivals. The horned pout will bite al
most any time but particularly well
at night, and it is said of Dan that
after the sun has gore down behind
the East Winthrop hills and the stars
come twinkling out, he takes a Ian
tern and fishing tackle and goes down
to the shore where his skiff is noored,
seats himself in the stern seat and
begins to fish. 1t is further said that
he catches dead loads of pouts,
enough to supply his own table ond
also those of his neighbors. Fishing
for horned pauts possesses none OF
the excitement that gives the charm
to trout salmon and bass fishing, as
the pout only gives IL lazy sag on the
line and allows himself to be pulled
in without struggle. but tile sport
| though OF the passive type, posses fas-
eination for those who follow it.
