.HUCK|NS LONGS II COME H0ME: IS RETURNING
HIS LETTER TELLS OF SHOW BUSlNESS-HAS BEEN IN CHICAGO.

Writing to friends here from Chi cago. under date of June II, Gene HuCkins the well known local the atrical man gives his impressions of the great city and of the Outside in general HuCkins and Casey Ben nett, both of whom were with the Alaskan Engineering commission last summer as packers, are now in the east doing an Alaskan vaudeville stunt. Extracts from Huckin's let ter are as follows:
 Don't it seem funny that rube like myself should be in town like Chicago? And say! If any body in Fairbanks thinks he is an actor or funny, let him come to Chi cago. | really thought l could make people laugh. but when l pull off my best stuff notice people read ing their programs or looking to see who is coming into the theatre. But al that they seem to like us. and we have worked six weeks in Chi cago alone We go from here to Fort Wayne. Indiana, then to De troit Michigan, and then south for about ten weeks. l don't know the route as I have been awfully busy on some new props"
 The people here think that We wear fur all the year round You would laugh to hear some of these Outside "boobS" talk
 'I met a young lady who was on the same bill with us in Milwaukee. She thought was such a novelty that she would keep me walking up and down the streets-she lead ing our dog (the one used in the Alaskan acD and me. She thought l was a real man because l wouldn't submit to a white shirt. They think here that I never had white col lar on and I let them think SO That is part of our advertising scheme.
 "0ne party asked Bennett if that log was my sole companion while l was in the north and you should have heard the line of stuff Bennett pulled on him was lost on an iceberg for a month, etc, the dog led me to safety, me being blind snow blind; I was so weak from hunger that I was unable to go further and the faithful dog went out and killed a moose and brought me enough to eat That is the line of stuff Bennett pulls on them, and he gets away with his wonderful story, too. He Is the biggest (you know, one of those fellows who don't tell the truth) I ever saw. Perhaps that goes with the show business If not, it should, for l think it is about the rottenest busi- ness in the world l want to go back north-and I will.
 q met Sam Stein and his wife. They are still in the business, have very pretty sketch and are mak- ing good. They bill themselves as Leroy and Tozier.
 "I also met Elmer Deiser here and had dinner with him. He is attending the Y. NJ. c, A. business college The Gordons and Suther- lands were here. but I didn't get to see them.
 "The convention was here, as yon know And some time they had. It was almost impossible to get along Michigan avenue for the crowds of people. It was just like the streets of Fairbanks on the 2lst of June Just the same l wish l was there for the 21st, You know what Service said:
 It's better than this by a damn
 sight
 80 it's me for the Yukon once more
 Tell my friends hello and tha, am coming back north when l finish what contracts we have. l would rather yell at pack mules than at civilized audience

 Of course. there were some of these things left over. Then there were a large number of the children of the city who secured noisemakers. only to lay them away for a future occasion.
 Therefore imagine Mir Thompson s surprise when the noisemakers he had brought in from the Outside were used in the ChildrenS prohi bition parade one night last week, And when he noticed that the chil- dren were using his noiSemakers MT Thompson was overheard to say.
