ANOTHER PCCAH0NTAs

Under date line of Washington.
ID. c. Mrs. L. M. Cheshire con-
tributes the following unique storey
to the Nashville Banner.
Pocahontss has been outdone by
an Alaskan maiden. John Smith was
only in dan ger of having his brains
spattered over the surrounding real
estate when Pocahontas rescued
him with her love. The John
Smith of Alaska was not only in
danger uf being killed, but being
eaten when the woman in whose
eyes he had found favor saved him.
The Alaskan John Smith was not
titled explorer when he fell into
the hands of savages, nor was his
name John Smith. He was only
common yellow-skinned sea coook.
His name is All Wing, and there
is nothing attractive about him.
He is about as homely a rIxture
of Chinaman and Malay pirate as
could be found in days walk.
His Pocahontas answers to the
name of julie now, but nobody
kno VS. what her Indian name was.
She is long way of being Poca-
hontas's equal in beauty and the
Siwash features of generations were
consolidated when her face was
'uade.
All Wing some nine years ago
was a cook in the employ of the
navy department, and was shipped
north on the Jamestown. While
"n the Sitka station Wings time
sxpired or he deserted-just which
is not quite plain-and he shipped
aboard whaler. The whaler was
wrecked and Wing was cast upon
an inhospitabl ice foe. julie was
the daughter of chief of tribe
of Indians and while hunting with
ner father discovered All Wing
who was near dead from starvation,
cold and exposures as it was pos
sible for him to be and retain lif G.
For day and days julie nursed
him and he nnally recovered to find
himself the object of a great deal
of attention on the part of the
Indians. They could speak no
Chinese or English, and Wing had
no comprehension, of their dialect.
He was al Loss TO understand the
with which they took in
watching the accumulation of tat
on mis- ribs. At last the horrid
ruth dawned on him at least he
says so. They were going to bar
becue and eat him.
He gave all up for lost. when he
was inspired by the sight of Julia
in tears. He made love to her. She
comprehended and went to ask
papa.
The old chief was fond of his
laughter and could refuse her
nothing. He issued an edict against
baking Wing. The remainder of
he village protested and the chief
vas obliged to state why he desired
he strangers life preserved. The
'bjectors gave in and Wing and julie
we're married in Indian style.
Finally he had chance to escape.
\ boats crew came in from a
schooner to trade for skins. The
'ook was dead, and Wing begged
hem to take him away with them.
Wings tather-in-law gave him leave
# three months and sent julie along
o insure his return.
Wing 'sleave Of absence has long
ince expired, but in the confines
II civilization he has become his
'wn master, and has no intention
# returning to the land of his
eife's people.

Old Soldiers Entertain.

The members of Burnside Post
G. A. R., were hosts on Friday even
ing to the ladies Of Burnside Relief
Corps and their families at the G. A.
R. hall.
The earlier part of the evening
was spent in Conversation. and there
was an interesting program present
ed. The first number on the pro-
gram was a pleasing piano duet by
Misses Thomas AMI Dahuff.
This was followed by a marching
song, Hail the Flag" by two boys
and two girls.
Mrs. Porter then gave an Irish
dialect reading which was much en-
joyed.
Miss Thomas sang very pleasing
solo, which was heartily applauded
Comrade Fletcher brought down
the house with parody on the "Old
Oaken Bucket" anent the grayback
which his comrades declared was
true to life. He also told one oil
two comical stories.
The program closed with a solo
which was heartily applauded.
The assemblage then repaired tC
the lower room in the building
where an oyster was served by the
boys who proved themselves no
only fine cooks bur generous provid
ers. The oysters were supplemented
by buns, doughnuts, cheese, fruit
etc, and of course the inevitable cof
fee. A soldier banquet without cof
fee would be as tasteless as a kiss
without a mustache. All present en-
joyed the evening hugely and hope
the old soldiers may entertain agar
soon.

In the Social Realm

ready for the coming year. A can
vass of the receipts and expenditures
of the society shows a substantial
gain in the balance in the treasury,
and the ladies to desire to put it
where it will do the most good.
Forty-eight dollars was appropriated
for lights in the park and $40 was
by request donated to the Ashland
band.
The club decided to solicit the CO.
operation of the public and urge
upon them the necessity OF such ac-
ton as will unite the school inter
ests of the state and make provision
for higher education by upbuilding
and patronizing first of all our own
home institutions and after that the
state institutions, rather than send
ing our students TO other states to
secure an education.
The members are requested to
come to the next meeting, which will
be held at the lecture room of the
library Tuesday afternoon at 2:30
O'Clock, prepared to pay dues.

their good and indifferent points.
The proper feed ration to employ
and the most favorable surroundings
for chickens was also dwelt upon.
Usually these lectures are given
with the aid of moving-picture films,

even greater interest in the enter
tainment, but as il was the attend
ance was all that could be desired
the pictures were good, and the ad.

"The Jolly Young Twins"

' W ANNNh ~ 90 AASNC AAON al u
Dear friends, it's pleasant to see you
here
On this happy day of the Happy
New Year.
They are with us today, so the story
begins,
To gladden. the birthday of two jolly
twins.
How old are the kidlets? This may
sound nifty,
But their ages foot up to one hun
dred and fifty.
For many a year they have been
friends warm and true;
They were comrades in arms, for
each wore the blue,
And fought for their country through
danger and strife,
Then each returned safely TO fond,
waiting wife.
Down life's rugged road they have
travelled along,
Mid sunshine and shadow, mid sor-
row and song.
Each milestone they have passed
makes, instead of year,
Some happy event, some memory
dear.
Here's health and long life, May
you and may they
Be with us on many a future birth
day.
So bring out the canteen and fill up
the tins,
And drink to the health of the jolly
young twins!
The above verses, written by Mrs
Kate Howard of Ocean Park, Cal.
in commemoration of the annual
birthday party" OF Postmaster ]. R
Casey and B. Beach of this city
which occurred at the Casey home
on First avenue last Monday even,
ing, were read by Mrs. F. B. MiH
and added much to the pleasure oil
the occasion.
For many years these gentlemen
veterans of the Civil War, have cele.
brated the anniversary of their nata
day together, their ages being the
same. So enjoyable have the occa
sions been in the past that the com,
ing ones are looked forward to with
pleasurable anticipation, and luck!
indeed is the person asked to be
present.
The event of last week was il
every way up to the standard set or
previous years. The decorations o.
flowers, flags and fir gave charm tc
table and rooms and brought to the
minds of the ex-warriors the stormy
days of 1S61-65. while the elaborate
siX-course dinner attested the fac
that truly this is a land of plenty.
After proper disposition had beer
made of the good things, 900" wa:
played the balance of the evening.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs
B. Beach, Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Veghte
Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Ogg, Harry Casey
Miss Lena Casey, Mr.. and Mrs. c. H
Hargadine and daughter Mary Vir
ginia, Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Casey, Mr.

by Professor Gilmore and his pupils,
the Misses NJ and l.. Porter and
Miss Weisenburger. was a success,
in point of attendance and musical

have been studying under Professor
Gilmore for only few months, but
their execution shows the skill of a
masters hand in training. The mu-
sical program was interspersed with
humorous readings by Professor Gill
more and a short talk on the ele-
ments required for the making of a
musician He said There is no
royal road to fame in any line, and
to make a musician one must go
through painstaking training. Ed

tion which brought his success said,
No, it was perspmation, and it is
so in music" He talked of the SUI
periicial knowledge of many pupils
and their lack of appreciation of the
best music.
