When grandma danced the minuet
Some sixty years ago
The stately couples often met
Beneath the mistletoe.
To values now the customs veer,
But Mabels foxy beau
That damsel doth contrive to steer
Beneath the mistletoe.
Dances change. but not the game,
AS close observers know,
For mnrtals act about the same
Beneath the mistletoe.

 THE FOURTH

All the business houses in town are decorating and fixing up their show windows and the interior of their stores for the grand Cele- bration of the Fourth of July which is to take place here tomorrow and which, from all indications, gives pomise of being one of the most numerously attended anniversaries of that day that has occurred in skagway in several years.
 All the committees met last night at the town hall and completed the final arrangements to insure everything going off smoothly and without a hitch.
 The sports committee has made out a program of athletic events which appears elsewhere in the Daily Alaskan today ana for each one of which liberal prizes have

tation speech made by Dr. l.. s. Keller.
 After the presentation, under direction of Mrs. Albert Reiuort and Mrs. Frank Suffacool, eight little girls, with variegated paper baskets filled with flowers, gathered in the main social hall and sang song The names of the little girls are: Francis Kennedy, Katherine Hahn, Bessie Conway, Mary McCuun, Pau line McCanu, Birdie Selmer, Esther FiedenthaI and Beatrice Olson. After the song they presented the baskets of flowers to the officers of the Princess Alice.
 There were about 200 people pres ent to witness the presentation, who were afterward escorted over the vessel by those in charge, many expressions of approval and admir- ation being iudulgei in by the ladies while making the rounds

It will be a program affair and the music will be furnished by ScI- mer's orchestra. As i. will be lengthy the committee desires us tc state that the music will be ready and the dancing start prompt Iy at 9 o'clock.
 The ball tonight IS designed prin- cipaIIy for the entertainment of home roIk, although everyone will be made welcome. Tomorrow night another dance will be given for the entertainment of visitors but which, like the one tonight, will be open 10 all.
 Tho first contingent o1 visitors, fifty from WLItehorse and no doubt several from inter- mediate points, will reach here ou the regular train tonight, and from what we can learn there will be many more on the excursion train which is due to reach Skagway about noon tomorrow.

order forbldding such dances was glv.

order fOrbldding such dances was giv- en out.
 The Annapolis U. S. Naval Academy has taken a strong stand against these dances.
 Even the beer-drinking and duel' fighting soldiers of the German Kaiser are not allowed to indulge in such gyrations, for the news came from Der lin on Nov. that at a big charity ball given the previous night, there was no tango on the program, and 1t was noticed that the one and two steps were danced by none of the officers present,
 The Moose hall of Valdez fOrbids the tango and all such dances in the hall.
 The Knights of Columbus of Mem phis have forbidden any member of the order to take part in such dances or stay in any hall where they are be- ing performed under penalty of being debarred from the order.
 Some of these modern dances are called the spawn of the restricted dis tricts and calculated to bring people there.
 The New York Mail says: "The tan 20 which appals lovers of sound man. ner and morals is an immodest and basely suggestive exercise tending to lewdness and immortality. Every de- cent home should be on it's guard against what the Pope calls the new paganism."
 Only Vulgar Dancing Condemned.
 These nasty remarks may show what right.thlnking people have said of some of our modern dances. It must not be supposed that the Catholic church, through many of its influential men, Pope, Cardinals, Bishops, etc., is condemning dancing outright but those modern dances as they are executed before us. Nor does 1t mean that some simple and innocent girls who think it smart to engage in these dances are depraved, but the Church and others who wish to see their purity and innocence preserved have raised a strong word of warning and to point out what the impression and effect will be on those who are simple enough to imagine there is no harm in following the fashions of the day.

Austria and Germany. 1t was on a
very large scale, exactly what con-
taintment or siege was tactically upon
a small scale 1t was of the essence
Of a siege riot that one force complete
~ blocked its enemy and prevented
him from getting any supplies but
that the enemy was left without COM
plete liberty 10 maneuver.
The Nooint of a siege was that one
force had got the Germans within
particular area from which they could
not escape. In the present case they
had the paradox that the besiegers
were even now less in numbers than
the besieged. The number of allies
would grow and continue TO grow
while the Germanic forces had nearly
reached their maximum. So far the
allies are still in numerical inferiOrity,
however. He continued:
Blockade Only Inks.
The blockade was not complete;
there were large acres of neutral
boundary and sea which gave a certain
measure of supply TO the Germans
Further. the most important element

square are open, there is imposed up
on the containing forces one necessary
policy; one of the two fronts must be
occupied. merely holding the enemy

regarded as the marching wing in the
battle, retreating when necessary, adj
vancing when possible.
I'm the present phase of the war
