Dogs and Jokes.

Animals present their own aspects of humor. says Leonard I.arkin in the London Strand, and the evidence Is fully sufficient that some of them have a sense of humor of their own. A jackdaw certainly has, and 1t Is less malicious sort than that quite as cer- tainly possessed by his cousin, the magpie and the raven; it Is more hu- man. in a word. The dogs sense Of humor seems to grow blunted after puppyhood. or, rather, it changes. be- ing overlaid by a horror of becoming ridiculous. Nothing in creation can stand joke against itself so badly as a dog; nothing is so wretched as a dog who thinks he is being laughed at,

Completing the years work on the Chitina summer trail, the large crew that has been engaged all sum- mer returned to the city yesterday morning. The greater part of the trail from Fairbanks to Richardson has been gone over thoroughly and is now reported to be in excellent condition. The first thirty miles out from the city is in especially good shape and Git for pleasant automobile trips.
 The work along thee Chitina trail was under the supervision of Abe McKinnon during the early part of the summer, but owing to an acci- dent to his foot he was relieved over a month ago. John Joslin has been in charge of the construction since that time, Since his recovery, MT. McKinnon has cen engaged in repairing bridges along the high way and is now working at the Pile driver span.
 John Zug, the local representative of the road commission, stated last evening that practically all of the work that is to be accomplished this year is now complete, with the eX- ception of a few minor emergency repairs.
 Clyde Geraghty is now working with a crew of men, along the Tan ana trail, and it will require the greater part O the next two months to complete the necessary repairs.
 Whether or not any great amount of work will be done this year on the Big Cinema trail is uncertain, as MT Zug has received no instruc- tions from Valdez in answer to the request which he sent on Monday,
 In the Ruby district a large crew is pushing a new trail through from Long creek to Poorman creek, and will be kept at work for some little time yet. Ths trail between Ruby and Long creek also is being re paired somewhat, but the work on that trail will be finished very soon,
 The trail from Long creek, in the Ruby district, to Cripple creek, in the Innoko, has been given consid- erable attention during the sason which is now closing, and is reporte to be in fairly good shape Owing to the persistent requests of the Koyukuk people for repairs along the trail from Panama, MT. Zug has asked for instructions in regard to the matter, but as yet has received nothing definite. It is not expected, however, that very much will be done, as the yearly appropriation provided no funds for this trail.
 MT. Zug expects to leave for the coast during the early part of De- cember.

IT'S EASY

It's easy TO sit IN the sunshine
And talk to the man in the shade,
les easy to float in a we'll trimmed
boat
And point out the place to wade.
But once we pass In the shadows,
We murmer and fret and frown,
And when far from the bank we
shout for a plank
Throw up both hands and 20 down
It's easy to sit in your auto,
And counsel the man on foot,
But get down and walk and yCu'il
change your talk,
When you feel the tack IN your
boot.
It's easy to tell the toiler,
How best TO carry his pack,
But you can not rate the burdens

Until II lies on your back.

Can preach OF sorrows worth
But give IL one sip and wryer lip.

latest.
A division superintendent,
who made up for what be lacked

complaints of freight trains be-
ing stalled at certain crossing,
much to the discomfort of the
travelling public. Having issued
an official order "to all concern

tice would be discontinued was
rudely shocked by further COM
plants of the old trouble.
Determined to end the pui
sance, he fumed down to the
crossing, and there found the Of
Tending freight train with doz-
ing brakeman seated atop one of
the cars. "Move that string up
the line and clear this crossing
right away" yelled the irate Of

Major General Jesse M. Lee and
Brigadier General Frank, ID.

them out of their blankets.
Truth must serve if illusions
are destroyed. None of the chief
white actors in this ''movie'
drama, unless, perchance, it be
General Lee, saw service in the
battle of Wounded Knee. There
were a score of fights on the
plains in which Miles, Baldwin
and Bill of the Buffaloes might
appear without sacrificing truth
on the altar of the film. Miles
and Baldwin probably saw more
Indian fighting than any other
two soldiers in the United Safes
Army.
The representatives of the
moving. picture industry certain
ly succeeded in doing something
worth while when they Indueedh
these vetrans, three of whom are
over seventy years of age, Co go

ana Lee, both won medals FOR
conspicuous personal gallantry,
in the field, and Baldwin won
two medals, being the only soldi
er of the service to double up on
the coveted honors.
The only pity is that Big Foot
and some of his warriors who,
took part In the fight wero not
