A Game With Buttons

From the Youths Companion
 Some rainy day, when there seems to De nothing else to do, you can make tlddedywinks game with the buttons from the button bag. Any number of young people can play the game.
 First sort the buttons; then pick out one large, white button and six small ones' and one large, black button and six small ones
 On the floor, or in the middle of a large table with tablecloth on it. rlace a round box coverings about as large as a napkin ring, or if you have no box cover 1t is just as well to use the napkin ring, or if you have no box cover, it is just as well to use the nap kin ring itself.
 The game is to see who will be tho first to make all of the small buttons hop into the ring the box cover, which IS called Home" All you need to do to make the small buttons jump toward the home is to press the rim of them with the rim of one of the big buttons, and let the rim of the big button slip off.

Three Days in Canyon

Grand Canyon Ariz.-After three days wandering in the depths of the Grand Canyon without food or water W. H. Harvey, g retired wholesale grocer of Manchester, N. H., was rescued in Hell s Half Acre. one of the most dangerous portions of the canyon. Harvey was in an almost naked condition and was crazed from thirst and hunger.
 Harvey, with James H. Hayes of New York went afoot down Hermit trail At some places the trail leads away from the river and. shortly after leaving the foot of Hermit trail they became lost in the maze of rock formations and unable again to find the trail or their way to the river. Drinking alkah water from Salt creek caused both men temporarily to lose their minds. Hayes became separated from Harvey and found his way out of the canyon, but was unable to direct search CTS to the spot where he left his partner.

London, October 2.-(Special. )-It's a funny thing, but statesmen are al- most always curiously lucky in their wives, in England at any rate. I was in the ladies' gallery for recent
 speeches made by both Lloyd-George and Winston Churchill, and I watched their respective wives hanging on their words. Mrs. Lloyd George is second Mrs Gladstone in her attentions to the minister of munitions She's always, so to say, hanging round the corner when he's speaking, with a bottle of eggflip in her bag for him. Directly he has finished great speech she rushes to him to tell him how it was taken" and to insist that he rests. The last time I saw her in the ladies' gal learly some one used a handkerchief while Lloyd George was speaking and you should have seen the look she gave her as much as to say, You profane

Food Rising in Germany

FTUHI I0SII6 s.
 Between subscribing to German war loans and meeting the high price of food, the average citizen of Berlin, for in- stance, must find life quite full of prob- lems. From the bulletin of the American Association of Commerce and Trade in Berlin. we glean the fact that on July "A, 1915, loin of beef in Berlin was selling for 333 cents per pound. as against "A one year ago. Pork had increased in price from 24.3 to 4S.4 and fresh ham from lS.6 to SIS, while bacon had gone up from 19.2 to H.2 Butter which sold a year ago at 31.1, is now AGA, and lard has advanced from 17.9 to 42.S Potatoes were formerly IA per pound, and are now 2.9, and eggs have jumped from 1.o to 3.4 each.

The Louisville Times pays Mr..
Huffaker the following compli-
ment: Tobias Huffaker, Super
intendent of Schools for Adair
county, has set to work to have
the compulsory school law en-
forced. The method is simple
the filming of delinquent parents.
1t is not to be denied that the
law, which fixes the school age
at from six to twenty years,
works ali unnecessary burden on
the taxpayer and serves in a
measure to account for the large
number of children out of
school. Responsibility for the
fact that there are some 200, 900
children of school age that do
not attend school is not, howev-
er, to be explained away on the
score that the age limit is carried
too far. The bulk of the chill
dren out of school are under
Ell ht e en-, and, in not a few

FAMILIES ARE MOVING; SLIDE
 AGAIN FEARED

Fearing a repetition Of the great snowslide of April. 1896. when the Gilbert Mnl was carried away in Sil- yer Bow Basin. the tenants of one Of the apartment houses at the Perseyer- ance mine have been ordered to va cate as soon as possible.
 The house Is owned by the Alaska Gastineau Company and is directly in the path Of the old slide. The prin- cipal cause for uneasiness Is the fact that there is more snow at the Perse- verance at present than there was last Spring when the last slides oc- cured and the snow is wet and very heavy.
 Eight families have been residing in the house and they will have to move Co Juneau. as there are no more apartments for them in the camp.
 The Gilbert Min was one 0t the old est mills in the Harris mining district. and was the first min to be built on the Perseverance property. The mill was not working at the time of the slide. but the watchpan was buried beneath thousands of tons of snow and wreckage and his body was not found until late in the summer.

 BY EXPLOSION
 WOMAN MAY DIE

Mrs. Walter La France and her two small sons were severely and pain fully burned late yesterday afternoon when bucket of coal tar. which had been put in the oven Co soften, eX- ploded as Mrs. La France opened the door
 A carpenter who has been working on the roof of the La France house on Willoughby Avenue had asked that the tar be warmed up SO that 1t would be soft enough to use and the woman put it in the oven. When the door was opened the tar-gas exploded and deluged Mrs. La France with the scalding syrup-like liquid. Her cloth ing caught fire at the same time and screaming she ran out into the street and threw herself into the mud in her effort Co put out the flames. The two boys who were standing near were badly but not dangerously burn ed about the face and hands.
 Mrs. La France was rushed 70 St. Ann's hospital where she has been suffering the most intense agony. Dr. P. J.

COIN WILL FLOW INTO
 TERRITORY

Figures compiled from data in the office of Territorial Treasurer Smith and by J. F. Cobb as attorney for the Territory show that thirty-ive of the canning companies that have entered into the agreement to abide by the decision in the test tax case which is now in the courts, have made their returns showing the amounts of taxes paid by them to aggregate S115,9O5.5S. These figures do not include figures from the seventeen canneries of the Alaska Packers Association, which have not yet been fully cimpiled ex- cept for the year 1914. The tax due from the Alaska Packers for that year totals S41, 1,072.04 The remain der of taxes due will undoubtedly bring the total to at least S200,000 according to a statement made by Mr. Cobb today.
 There are eighteen canneries op- erating in Alaskan waters who have not entered the agreement to abide by the test suit" said Mir. Cobb, "and of these only one has paid the tax. Proceedings will be started at an early date against the remaining de- linQuent for the purpose of cOmpell- ing them to pay the tax due"
 Details of the mining taxes are not all in but it is believed that when the Legislature is again in session there win be a surplus revenue on hand that will total S2O0.000 above all ap- DrODriatiOns made.

BRADLEY NOW
 HEADS JUNEAU
 GOLD PROPERTY

The management of the Treadwell and the Alaska Juneau mines was separated yesterday when Philip R. Bradley was succeeded as superin- tendent of the Treadwell mines by Russell c. Wayland, formerly assist ant superintendent of that company. Mr. Bradley, former superintendent of the Treadwell and Alaska Juneau mines has become general superin. tendent of the Alaska Juneau mine and will devote his energies to the development of that property. Mir. Bradley will retain connection with the Treadwell mines. however, as con- sulting engineer.
 l.. II. Metzger, formerly connected with the Goldfield Consolidated and other Nevada properties in which John F. Mackenzie is interested, has sue ceeded Mir. Wayland as assistant sup erintendent of the Treadwell mines. He arrived on the Al-Ki Saturday.
 NIT. Bradley has been connected with the Treadwell mines since early in 1914. and succeeded Robert A. Kin zie as superintendent of the Treadwell and Alaska Juneau mines a little more than a year ago He Is a brother of F. ". Bradley, president of the two properties. Before coming to Alaska he was engaged in mining in Call fornia. Like his brother. F. w. Brad ley, he is a graduate of the University of California.
 Russell c. Wayland, the new Tread well superintendent has been with the Treadwell mine for several years, and a little more than year ago he succeeded E. P. Kennedy as assist ant superintendent.
 The separation Of the management of the Treadwel and Alaska Juneau mines was found necessary on ac- count of the active construction and work that is being in- augurated on the Juneau side of the channel. which hereafter will require practically all of the attention of Gen. eral Superintendent Bradley.
