LARK or BRITISH DUCHESS
Her Grace of Sutherland Danced at
London Masked Ball In Male
Attire.

A carefully concealed sensation OF
the brilliant Arabian Nights Ball.
given at Covent Garden, came to light
in London when it was learned that
among the glittering throng OF orien-
tai dancers was her grace the duchess
OF Sutherland in male attire-that OF
a maharajah. The incident was
deemed so serious that family con-
clave was called at Stafford house. the
magnificent Sutherland residence, in
st. James street.
But 1t was not the duke who caused
the trouble, but the earl OF Rosslyn,
the countess brother, who ordered his
sister to give an account OF herself"
The duchess took umbrage at this
style of censor and citing his some
what lurid career babe him defiance.
Il would like to KNOW" she is re-
ported to have said, who appointed
you as censor OF this famiIy's NOR
ais; so don't talk rot"
A cross-examination ELECTED from
the duchess the fact that while she
did wear mans clothes at the ball
and also painted her face to a swarthy
hue to resemble the eastern poten-
tate, her trousers were very baggy
and cloak enveloped her figure.
So at the conclusion of the inquisi-
ton the duchess figured that the earl
of Rosslyn owed her an apology.
"You see it was all perfectly inno-
cent" she said, "and done just for a
lark. You really should get down on
your knees to me for stirring up such
fuss"

YEARLY PAPER or ALASKA
Publication Of the Eskimo Bulletin 10
Evidence of Progress of Twenty
Years.

In the bad old days the masters Of
the whaling vessels sailing from San
Francisco to the far north used to
give the Alaskan Eskimos raw fire
water" in order to secure the valuable
furs they had obtained during the long
arctic winter. Little they dreamed
that these fierce children Of the north
would one day be so advanced as to
print their own newspaper, writer In
the Wide World exclaims. After the
terrible slaughter by the whalers of
the alcohol frenzied natives of Cape
Prince of Wales, in Boring strait, it
was rather ticklish job for a white
man to start Bible class. Still, Fl.
A. Thornton attempted 1t, but he was
shot dead by boy Of fourteen, who
was killed in his turn by his own
kinsman. This affair happened in
1890. Two years after w. r. Lopp APP
peared on the scene with his wife.
They settled at Cape Prince of Wales,
and year after year, until 1903, they
taught humanity to the Eskimos. The
reindeer was introduced from Siberia,
and Mr.. Lopp got his pupils to learn
to rear the herds. He also taught
them boat building, carpentering, etc.,
and, to put final touch to his valua-
BILE work, he had small press brought
from the states, and 1t was not long
after that his pupils were able to COM
pose and print their own paper. This
is probably the only yearly newspaper
in the world-the Eskimo Bulletin.

powerful recruit in w. e. Davis,
state auditor of Kansas. Mr.. Davis
has decreed that Kansas state Off
Gals, when travelling on the states
business are not entitled to charge
the public treasury for tips paid. It
cost Kansas just $4,000 in 1911 for
tips distributed by state officials, and
Mr.. Davis has issued set of rules for
the benefit of employees who travel for
the state, in which he says: "Tips or
gratuities are recognitions of special
service, not an actual and necessary
expense for the service itself and will
not be allowed" The controller Of
the treasury of the United States, on
the other hand, has ruled that tips are
a necessary incident of travel and are
properly collectible from the public
funds.
