EAGLE DANCE
 BE A HUMMER
Oid.timers Will Revive Days of Open Gambling and Dance HalIs At
 the Eagle Hall.

The Eagle dance tomorrow night will bring to memory the scenes once common in Valdez when in every sa- loon stood gambling device, and every booze parlor was dance hall. The gambling contrivances formerly used will be opened again and paper money will be issued to those who care to play. The money is worthless excepting at the hall, and the lady holding the largest amount of money at the end of the ball will receive handsome prize. Dance hall condi- lions will be re-enacted and for every dance the price of drink at double price must be paid by the gentlemen. Conditions common ten years ago will be re-enacted with all of the sport and none of the vulgarity of those days.
 The committee in charge of the dance will make it as pleasant an af- fair as that of year ago.

 Eels can cause the death of salmon of considerable weight by the use of strategy. One will obtain the grip be- tween the dorsal fin and the tail and then hold on like bulldog, while the unfortunate victim in vain throws it. self backward and forward, endeavor- ing to shake of It's captor, until at length its strength is exhausted and the eel proceeds to make meal at leis- ure.
 Worse crimes than these arc laid to their charge in New Zealand A great number of bathing fatalities had taken place at a certain spot where the cur. rent ran with such strength that a powerful swimmer could only just stem 1t It was favorite pastime to have tussle with the stream. but sev. eral times bather disappeared before help could reach him, and when his body was found 1t had been eaten by cells.
 The cause of the fatalities remained unknown for long time, but at last it was discovered that while the swim. mer was almost stationary in the rapid stream huge eel would seize him by the foot or leg and drag him beneath the surface.

HOLES IN POTS AND PANS.
Quick and Easy Method of Repairing
 Them at Home.

Quick and Easy Method of Repairing
 Them at Home.
 Pots and pans, whether of iron or tn (which is only iron timed over). get holes in their bottoms all too soon to please the economical housekeepef. Then it becomes necessary to call in the tinsmith. who puts a lump of solder in the hole. This soon melts, and the hole is there again.
 But nothing is easier than to repair such holes at home and without the aid of a tinsmith. First of all make the hole round by inserting the point of a knife and twisting 1t back and forth. Place the pot or pan upon any firm, fiat piece of metal. such as an anvil, bar of iron or an inverted flat iron. 50 that the hole is immediately over and touching the latter. In the middle of the hole place shot of about the size of the hole. Any piece of lead will serve if the shot is not handy. Now a few sharp blows with ham, mer will fatten the shot and spread it out, filling the hole tightly and over. tapping enough to hold 1t in place. A few strokes with file and a rub with sandpaper complete the operation The repair Is permanent
 It is said that hole as large as 6 quarter of an inch in diameter can be mended in this way.-St. Louis Post. Dispatch.

Comparative Values.

A German peasant had just lost his faithful COW. His wife became co grieved over the loss that her heart was broken and she. too, died. Scarce ly was she buried when one of the neighbors came and offered his daugh- ter. another hls sister, and third his niece, for a wife. whereupon the farm. CT remarked:
 "Well. l can easily see that it is bet ter to lose a wife than a COW in this town. As soon as my wife is dead . choice of half dozen wives is offered me, but when my COW died they didn't offer me a single one."-Youth's Con- panion.

BRAVES?
 PHILADELPHIA :?

Nobody knows what the score of the first game between the Philadel- phia American team and the Sailing Braves in the championship series was. The game was over before noon, Valdez time, and no news of the re- suit will be received until some time tonight when. by wireless, or over the Canadian line will come the score, and after that Jack Bishop will be able to sleep in peace.
 We admit, however, that our expec- tations regarding receiving the score may not be fulfilled, because the wire less is uncertain and that Canadian line is always down and out and has a record for poor service equaled on- ly by the Can't Run and Never Will leading from Cordova into some place or other.
