THE WOODEN-LEGGED

on the subject, Wooden Legs"
f. l.. Vandegrift said that every
man who has a wooden leg has an
uncomfortable desire to fraternize
with other men who have wooden
legs. Once when he was sitting
in park at Las Vegas four men,
strangers to one another, entered.
All had wooden legs. They got
together, and in five minutes
were trying on one another's legs.
Two of them traded. A man he
met had all the battles he had
fought painted on his wooden leg.
Another painted his wooden log
in deep mourning when his wife
died. A friend of his uses his
cork leg as life preserver when
bathing; another utilizes his as
propeller. A vain man he met
had his wooden leg tattooed. In
San Francisco a wooden-legged
friend showed Mr.. vandergrift
national magazine published in
the interests of wooden legs, call
ed the Wooden Leg. BY means of
this publication men all over the
world traded wooden legs by pay
ing for want ads In It. Mr.. Van
dergrift once knew a man who
had seven wooden legs, one of
them for Sunday.-Kansas City

A Washington dispatch says that it is inconceiv-
able, in view of American interests in the "open
door policy" that administration officials are not
keeping "closer watch" on developments in China.
Washington must remember that Uncle Sam is a
real busy little watcher right at the present moment
and it may be excellent policy to look in the direc
tion Of Europe, with occasional side glance at
Mexico, rather than to keep his eye screwed around

What Did You Do.

Did you give him a lift? He's a
brother of man,
And bearing about all the burden
he can.
Did you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped
him to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He
was slipping down hill.
And the world, so he fancied, was
using him ill
Did you give word? Did you show
him the road,
Or did you just let him 60 on with
his load?
Do you know what it means just
the clasp of a hand,
When a mans borne about all a
man ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was-why the
quivering lip?
Why the half suppressed sob, and
the scalding tears dripG
Were you brother of his when the
time came of need?
Did you offer to help him or didn't
you heed?

Mrs. Harrison had new servant,
Annie, an importation from the
Emerald isle. who was wholly new
to the social customs of this country.
Mrs. Harrison gave her considerable
advice on how to conduct herself
under different circumstances, and
hoped for the best.
One afternoon, while the mistress
was out, two society women motored
to the house to make a call. They
rang the bell and waited. but there
was no answer. They rang again,
and after considerable delay the
door was opened by Annie, who
greeted them with:
"Phwat do yeZ want2"
The women explained that they
had come to call on Mrs Harrison.
The girl said her mistress was out.

LOCAL BOY SAYS
 KRAUSE ABDUCTED
 YOUNGER BROTHER

Another phase of the Krause-Aliller mystery has developed which may lead to the discovery of other kidnap- ing plots carried out by the same man.
 In 1907 lad named Earl Fey, who resided with his parents at ALA Tenth avenue South. in Seattle. had some slight altercatlons with his father and disappeared. At the time the boy was in a habit of freouenting the water front in Seattle and had at odd times been employed by a man named MIL Her. For two years every effort to find some trace of the missing boy was without success.
 One evening early in 1910 Miller and Earl Fey returned to the Fey home in Seattle. The boy stated that he had been working in the marble quarries at Calder, Alaska. and had been at Wrangell and Petersburg as well. He stated that he had made his home at an times with Miller on his boat. Miller stayed around Seat Gle for some time and theI disappear ed no one knew whore.
 After tho man had gone the boy told his brother, Clarence Fey who is at present employed at Goldstein's Emporium. that all the time he was with Miller he was not permitted to write home. Ho was paid practically no wages but understood that he was working for his keep" Owing to the fact that the boy knows nothing of the present circumstances surrounding Miller or Krause nothing has been learned as to his actual experiences while with the man nor of his lnowl- edge of the movements of either Mill CT or Krauae. Clarence Fey today positively identified a picture Of the
 man who posed os Irauso in- Douglas recently as the man with whom his brother had come to Alaska and who finally took the boy back to his home in Seattle.
 Clarence Fey stated today that al. though at the time the boy was brought back home his mother de- handed explanations from Miller and oven endeavored to get the matter be- fore the courts. she was unable to get any satisfaction out of Miller and had no money with which to start pro- ceedings against him. Mrs. Fey's husband was not at home during the time Miller was in Seattle.

WARD CITES
 LETTER FROM
 WASHINGTON

Although nothing has yet been done in the courts Tn connection with the dispute between the city and Harry Ward oves the right to possession Of a tract of land just above Gastineau road at the head Of Second street. there has come to light 9 communica- ton from the commissioner of the general land office at Washington which Ward claims insures his right to the property in question.
 This letter is quoted In part as ioi- lows: In the subdivision of the land embraced within the townsite Of Juneau the surveyor designated two tracts Of land as unfit for build ing purposes" These tracts appear to embrace at least one-third of the townsite which contains 10S.49 acre. One of the tracts designated was North Park and the other East Park.
 Under certain decisions of the su- preme Court it has been held that the title acquired by trustee appoint ed under the provisions Of an act of Congress. as agents for the disposi- ton Of lots in Q townsite does not dlvest the Government Of It's title but only creates on agency for the pur- pose of disposing of the government title and the government still holds title to all lots or tracts not deeded by such trustee.
 CA patent was issued to John Olds for the townsite of Juneau and upon his resignation Thomas W. Lyons ap- pointed his successor and. the title thereupon invested in his as trustee. alr Lyons trsut being completed with the exception Of the disposition Of said tracts. Chose not dt for building purposes) all titles in him thereby ceased to exist"
 It is understood that the original patent issued ,o John Olds as trustee for the city included the tract at pres ent Tn dispute that in order to secure the issue oi this patent the city paid to the government the minimum price of SIPS per acre for the entire area, including the tract at present in question The fact Of this payment win probably be one Of the main foundations for the city's case when the matter comes into court. while the defense Of Ward and other who are believed to have located upon ad- joining tracts will concern itself chief ly with the reversion Of title to the government ior tracts u0r disposed or by Lyons as trustee.

NO MEAT
 NO CABLE,
 NOVEMBER!

No meat. no cable. November All Of them. like Che three blind mice. have hit Juneau at the same time. Even the Tazu is blowing around town about It. Berlin isn't the only city that can have its meatless days and even lf the Kaiser's capital goes without the luscious red for the rest of che year its a cinch that Alaska's capital Is going without it for the rest of the week.
 Let's to our mutions is an rubbish we haven't any muttons SO how could we? And we don't want to hear anyone talking about a beef. either There aint no such animal There isn't even the squeal of Q porker to loo had for love nor money. Wom have to convince ourselves that it's good weather for ducks. sigh "Oh. Deer" and 30 a.gunning an on win- ters' day.
 The City Of Seattle bumped a rock, or @ sand-bor. or something. and has turned back Co eSatle-with Juneau's supply Of fresh meat. The Canadian boat didn't bring any meat and the Admiral Forragut had only Q little of the seattles meat for Treadwen The Dolphin arriving tomorrow night probably. has but a very little meat. The Humboldt will be here Saturday however. and SO win the Alameda. and there win be steak a-plenty.
 And then, the cable is out of whacS. It sures comes in punches.
 Before tomorrow someone will be announcing Q bargain sale of weinerwursts at so much the yard. and we hope to get in on the final rem nant sale.
 Then to cap it an the cable had to break and the missing link is as un- fndable as ever with tho troubleship at anchor in Seattle harbor The Burn side surely doesn't believe ln troub- ling trouble tln trouble troubles her. And tomorrow the Dispatch win pro- bably make matters worse by telling us that the Juneau Women's Club met today when we know very well there wasn't any meath
 Don't blame ms for this The wind blew in our front window first thing this morning and we can hear it brag- ging down tho street this very min ute yelling "No neat No cablel No vember. I'm ltl"
