The Montpelier Argus says that a
young blood in that city who recent
ly ate forty-five eggs at one sitting
crosses the road now every time he
meets hen. This is not strange, but
we suspect that if he should meet a
hog he would want to stop and visit
with him.

OUTLINE LYCEUM COURSE

The different committees of the ketchlkan Lyceum course met last night and decided on a course of six parts for the present season. The first mum Der will be lecture some time this month by Gov. J. F. A. Strong, Awho will select his own subject, due notice of which will be announced in the local papers. Prof Geor- geson of the governmental ex- perimental work in Alaska will deliver a lecture as the second number, taking for his theme Alaska's Agricultural Possibilities. The third num- Der will be a musical program to occur the latter part of Spi uolS A oIulll IS pldu = ned for the fourth number. to consist of four or five papers by local people on the live topics of the day. The fifth will be a lecture by the itev. H. COrser on Indian life and legends. This number twill be a particularly interesting one, as MT. Corser is probably as well-informed on the early life and habits of the natives of Alaska as any man now living, having made a study of this subject for years. His lecture will be illustrated with pie ture slides. The sixth and closing number of the course will be play by local talent, particulars of which will be forthcoming later.
 From this outline it will be seen that Ketchikan's Lyceum course is assured, and what is more will be of interest to every person in the place. The nrico Of o caac0n,c ficka at for the entire course will be $1.50 with single admissions to the lectures 25 cents, 50 cents to the other numbers. It is to be hoped that Ketchihan people will come forward and take tickets for the entire season thus insuring the success of the plan.

FROM SATURDAYS DAILY

London, Jan. 2-Germany put another one over on the British yesterday by torpedo ing the battlesh!p Formidable. The affair occurred in the English Channel south of Portsmouth the big British naval base. One hundred and fifty men of her crew of 7S1 were rescued and landed Oil British soil by an English trawler which effected their rescue in a storm with waves running thirty or forty feet feet high. The storm pre- vented the rescue of many and there is every reason to believe that the rest are in a 'watery grave. The Formidable was launched in 1901, and was one of the earliest big gun yes sels, carrying four I2 inch and twelve 6 inch guns. She was slow compared with recent ad ditions to the British navy, be ing able to do but eighteen knots at her best.

eEY LICKED US kMTY
 There's no side-stepping the fact that the Wfangell Basket Ball team had 1t all over our fellows last night, i'll the fastest game ever played in ketchikan. There are sev- oral reasons for this. Tn the first place, the Wrangell Team played the better game, put ting it all over our fellows in team work. Then, for some reason, Milo Canghrean, who was referee or umpire, or some other official, seemed to be blind when the Wrangells made fouls, but was able to see all and a ft'v more than our fellows made, which knocked the "pepp" out Of their play. But after it's all said and done, the Wrangells played the betterga me, SCOT ing 20 points to our 12, al though the Miner Man is of  the opinion that the score would have been about 16 to i2, if the umpire had been fairer.
 The Wrangells piled up two goals from the field and one from the foul line in the first six minutes of play, Sylvester and c. Lewis being credited with the first two and Dalgity with the other. l.etchikau here toek a brace, and for a few minutes the play was changed from the Wrangell basket to the other end of the hall, but through Erickson and Rockefeller for the local, made several throws from the field, they were playing in  hard luck, and failed to score Back the WranglIs passed tht ball Do the other end of the room, their work being per feet, and in quick time Sylves- ter threw two more field goals and Dalgity one from tn. foul line.
