LINES 10 ARCHIE.

I've known some ladies in my life.
I've. once or twice. pursued them;
Sometimes I've thought. You'll be my wife,
Then Byron-lke. I've wooed them
I've made the most Of August moons.
I've filed canoes with pillows.
I've ohanted so-cslled Irish tunes.
I've vept by weeping willows.
I've rallied on the tennis court.
I've helped replace their divot'.
I've berlinized the piano-forte.
I've danced on faulty pivots

Unfettered by hoodoo

Elise had the heart Of creation

And she long slow fingers that wound about my lie
Until was moved 10 sing her many songs,
And spun out all the foolish plans a fellow has
And most unwisely tells TO
And one day on a bus top
When I'd been telling her Of podding manuscript,
And hoped dreamed would be the Great American Novel
Which some publisher would buy,
AND secretly that she would be proud Of me.

Mysteriously Towering Over towns

\ number of cities and towns in the United States appear to have been haunted of late by airShips that have lowered over them during the nights These aerial visitors have been seen in Deieware and New Jersey. and also in Illinois, but So far no town has been able 10 solve the mystery. nor has any attack or damage been reported from any point 4 night or two ago. nays- ssrious Seroplane was seen lowering over the Du Pons Powder Works at Csrneyis Point, N. J. on the Dele ware River. but whence it canae or where 1t went has not been esta- blished. The Du Pont company can give no reason for it's presence Other towns in Delaware and New Jersey report seeing moving speck in the sky that could be nothing else than an 2eroplane-
 In northeast Illinois and Indians the mystery is still deeper. The village of Clyde.

N0TE;-The above communica- ton received this morning by the principal of our school.

They do not seem to grasp the idea that ketehlkan Is only two days from Seattle. though in Alaska, and that 10 reach Nome in winter would take six weeks or at least two months. that as g mat ter of fact, we have nor suffered the inconveience here that Seattle and the States of Washington and Oregon have endured this winter, and from accounts received the coast of Washington has suffered more loss by storms than we have Of course We realize that ketehikan is especially favored in the way of shelter and has not 70 contend with the fieree Taku winds that Juneau and Douglas have 10 endure 10 their great discomfort and sometimes consequences

HEAVY EARTHQUAKE
SHOCK MONDAY NIGHT.

An earthquake shock of extra
ordinary intensity was expert
enced here Monday night about
II 40, and many folks were sud
denly awakened from their peace
ful slumbers. A slight rumbling
mise of two or three seconds du-
ration preceded the first shock,
or conclusion. The initial shake
might well be described as
though some very heavy object
had rammed ones house, or a
great explosion, literally shaking
and jarring everything in the
way of doors, windows, dishes,
etc. The din was followed by a
rocking or swinging sensation
which continued to rattle loose
objects i'm a most uncomfortable
manner, gradually diminishing in
severity until it subsidized about 30
To 80 seconds later.
This is the second shock felt
this year, but the latter was
without doubt the most severe in
many years. The sudden awak-
ening following its advent gives
one creepy, weird, helpless feel
ing. While the sound indicates
that all the dishes will be broken
up, nothing of the kind results;
in fact, no visible damage could
be detected Tuesday.
