Sam had worked on the farm
Tor nine years, and until his mas
ter took up poultry farming was
quite satisfied with life.
But this poultry business was
a bit too much. He had to take
the eggs as they were laid and
and write the date on them with
an indelible pencil. And, wor, e
than that, he had also to write
on the eggs the breed of the hen
that laid them.
So one day he marched I'D to
the farmer.
I'm about fed up, said he,
and Pm going to leave
Surely, Sam, said he, you re
not going to leave me after all
these years?'
Yes, but l am, reported Sam.

job on this here farm, but I'd
rather starve than go on being

IRELAND IS
 VAST ARMED CAMP

LONDON, July S.-speaking on the Irish home rule bill as 1t passed the House of Lords, Lord Lansdowne al. rected his remarks last night to the people of Great Britain, to the govern. ment and the majority in the HoTse of Commons, begging that they give earnest consideration to the amend ments to the bill as made by the Peers. He said: Ireland Is one vast armed camp, and a spark may set in motion the forces of civil war at any moment The part of statesman. ship at this time IS to find Q way to avoid threatening calamity" He thought the amended home rule bill, giving Ulster six years to study the operation of the bill in other sections of Ireland, and chance to vote by counties upon the question every six years thereafter offers compromise with honor to both sides, and one that would lead to disarmament.

NEW MODERN HOTEL
 FOR CAPITAL CITY

A splendid modern hotel Is to be established in the new 5.story con crete Zynda building which Is now nearing completion, according to an nouncements made by the owners to' day. Although the four upper floors were constructed for hotel purposes It was not until recently that it was determined to devote any part of the street floor to that business. It IS now planned that there will be a fine lobby and office in that corner of the building facing on Main and Third streets. This will provide the neces' sary comfort expected in a first class hotel. The elevator at the end of the main entrance hall will be of easy access.
 There are 56 guest rooms in the building, giving 1t quite the largest number of any of the new ho' tels in Juneau.
 The location Is one feature that will appeal to many. It Is back from the waterfront far enough to be com fortable and yet close enough to all transportation facilities. It is with in a block of the Federal court house, directly across the street from the Surveyor Generals office, within less than a block of the new postottice and the new Behrends bank, and only a short distance from the Federal build ing site and Governors office.
 It Is the belief of Mir. Zynda that Juneau needs more hotel accommoda- tions. hence the determination to make the change that will give Juneau one more gooG hotel.
 Negotiations are now pending for the lease Of that portion of the building that is to be devoted to the hotel business and it is expected that an nouncements of the management will be made soon.

TWO MEN LOSE SKIFF
 ATTEMPTING SToW.AWAY

Two men whose names could not be learned secured an involuntary bath last night and narrowly escaped drowning in an attempt to board the Admiral Sampson from a small skin, presumably with the idea of slowing away. Their small boat was caught in the swirl of water caused by the action of the wheel when the ship be- gan backing, and crashed into kindling wood. The men were hauled aboard ship by men of the crew and put ashore.
 The skin belonged to Capt. Adam Schneider, game warden for this divis- ion of Alaska, and was used as a ten. der for his launch Eve. The men who took the skin from a nearby float are in close obscurity and Capt. Schneider is on the war path.
