EAGLES TO GIVE INFORMAL
 DANCE ON SATURDAY

Once more the Skagway family of Eagles will assume a position in the social circle of the city. mark ing the event by giving I'll old time social dance at their hail on Fifth street, the date tor which has been set for Saturday, JanTary 9th.
 In former years the social dances of Skagway Aerie were among the Ilost enjoyable affairs given during the winter months by any of the traternal societies of the town, and it is reasonable to believe the Eagles will prove they are able to come back with the old-time joy and cordiality formerly marking the informal dances given for the so- cial entertainment of the members aud friends of the order.
 That there may be ID misunder- standing at the outset, the commit tee which will have these dances in hand, wishes to extend to all the G:iends of the organization a cordial invitation to be present On Satur- day night and enter into the spirit Of the affair, and enjoy to the ut most the hospitality Of Skagway Aerie No. 25, F. O. F.
 Arrangements have been made for good music, and it is hinted t. at there will be a number of novelties introduced which are cal culated to add pleasure for those in attendance.
 During the past few weeks, work n,en have been engaged ill making repairs to Eagles hall, the fOunda- tion to the building having been reinforced, new bracing and pillars placed to add greater support to the upper floor, and other improve ments made which will add to the comfort and convenience of the friends and members of the order.

PRICE 10 CENTS

Noodle for the loan of three tea cloths, all who so kindly donated cakes, pies, doughnuts and cheese straws, Mrs. Benzine for her de licious homemade candy, the Misses Baker for brown bread and baked beans, the Alphabetical stores for fruit, Captain Whaier for mix ed candy and hardtack, those who sang. played, acclaimed aid read, Elder Jones for taking tickets at the door, Deacon McI.ennan for presiding as chairman, all those who so literally patrolized the af fair with their presence and liber- ;llity, and Jimmy the Rat for help ing wash the dishes at the close 0! the affair, which netted, the Amalgamated Daughters arc pleased to announce, the neat sume of $26.15."
 The week following usually brings forth something like this: "In thanking those who so kindly, gen erously and whole-heartedly assisted at their entertainment two weeks ego the Amalgamated Daughters neg lected to mention Miss Mehala Jen- rings who generously loaned them her coffee pot and two dish towels. This oversight is greatly regretted and is most cheerfully corrected. Miss Mehala is one of the best workers connected with Amazing Grace church"
 Is it any wonder the average newspaper man is a pessimist, a cynic and a crank? Nine times in every ten he is asked to write the Card of Thanks a list of those tc be thanked being furnished him. He supplies the necessary "mush' and if someone, as in the case of Mehala Jennings, is overlooked, he is blamed for being careless. Or He did it on purpose-the mean thing"
 Now, in all candor and with a heart bubbling with generosity for the reading public, the Stroller i'm plores with tremor in his voice and tears in his eyes that ne be not asked during the year 1915 to write Gny Card of Thanks" Resolve to cut out Card of Thanks" Let all other New Years resolutions go but that one. Make it and the Stroller will assist you in keeping it. If you break it, it won't be his fault. The Stroller hopes to live a more exemplary life henceforth, but he can't do it and write Cards of Thanks" If the Amaigamated Daughters of Mary Magdalene are in trouble, they are at liberty to weep out their sorrows on the Stroll lcr's shoulder. If they give an entertainment for the benefit of the church, the Stroller will be present even if he has to steal the price. He hereby resolves to sup bort any and all skin games that are pulled off, but if you would not les sen his chances for blessed immor- tality beyond the grave, don't, please don't ask him to jeopardize the interests of his immortal soul by writing "Cards of Thanks"

THE STROLLER

If there is a newspaper man liv- ing who does not detest the combin- a1ion of words "Card of Thanks the Stroller has never met him. If he lives, he is an exception and in class by himself.
 Some months ago the Stroller re- produced from a southern publi- cation an article concerning cards of thanks. The substance of the article was a suggestion that, if you live in a neighborhood where the people expect to be thanked through the columns of newspa- per for every act of kindness per formed, you had better move to some other locality. But only those who wish to advertise their charity care for public thanks. Nine-tenths Of the people do not wish to be publicly thanked-are bored when they are. When people do what they consider is a duty, they do it as a duty and from kindly motives, not for thanks through the col umns of a newspaper. Let us sup pose a case:
 The Amalgamated Daughters of Mary Magdalene of Amazing Grace church gives an entertainment for the purpose of raising money with which to purchase carpet for the aisles of the church, window shades for the parsonage, a new altar cloth or to have the seats vanished so that those who occupy them for the next several months will have to ''pry" themselves loose at the close 0f each service. Now to start with, church entertainments for the pur- pose of raising money arc mostly skin games. Not one in a dozen gives anything like more than haIt value for money expended. Else why the object in holding them? Knowing they will be skinned-dis- appointed if they are not skinned everybody attends and spends money profligately. Then they go home and try to forget it. They know they were skinned but salYe their respective consciepces by the thought that it was for a good cause. But they are not allowed to forget it. The next issue of their paper, if it happens to be in a tank town-it does not happen in cities-not only recalls reccllections of the affair but "rubs it ir" some what as follows:
 "In behalf of the Amalgamated Daughters this paper is requested to thank Bob High for donating fifty pounds of ice for their enter tainment last Tuesday night, the x. Y. 2. company for the loan of half dozen chairs, Colone! B'Gosh for two flags and motto Love One Another" Mary Ann Kehoe for keeping the parsons kid so his wife could be present. Mrs. Me

RECORD OF INCIDENTS ON
 OUTSKIRTS OF WAR ZONE

Geneva (By mail to Ney YorkJ-- A stranded American tourist in Switzerland nearly brought about the death of a friend living in Ger many by sending him the following telegram: "Kale all gone. Wire thirty beans" The German cen sor took it to mean that some Ger man town, Kiel probably, had been attacked and wiped out. The per son to whom the wire was address ed was arrested as a spy and prob ably would have been shot if, luck fly, a German officer who had liv- ed in America hadn't been able to convince the authorities that the message was merely request for monetary aid.
 Paris,-When the Germans en tered Condo sur Escaut, say the Paris papers, they tried to pull down a statue erected there to the memory of the popular French Gen eral Poilloue de Saint Marie. Eff ty men with ropes tugged at the monument but were unable to budge it. Losing their tempers, they then fired hundreds of shots at the figure, but the bullets only flattened themselves against the solid bronze with little effect.
 The municipality Of Conde has now decided to leave the marks of the German bullets undisturbed as a standing testimony to German impotence to break French resis- tance."
 Nish,-Servia boasts the young est non-commissioned officer in the ranks of Europe's warning al- mics. This is Dragoljub Jelititich, 8 twelve year-old schoolboy, who has just been promoted corporal. The lad took the field to avenge his father who was killed at the bat tie of Kumanovo. Owing to his youth he was unable to join the regular army but he took service with a group of comitadjis, and from the first displayed extraordin- ary bravery. He has been through seven of the hottest fights of the war, and is just recovering from serious wound received at Sontcha.
 COpenhagen,-The Danish po- lice are endeavoring to track down a particularly inhuman genius, who profiting by the paralysed postal service has been extracting from Russian refugees money sent by their friends and relatives. The swindler, who has an accomplice, managed to learn the methods of assisting the refugees, and for forging the name of Russian of- ficial who was sent to Copenhagen to look after them, he has inflicted financial suffering and misery on scores of wretched victims of the war. The fraud was only discover ed when the Russian official be- gan to receive letters from differ ent persons informing him that money had already been sent.
