OUR MASCOT HAS LEFT.

Young Jean Brice, who ever since the Progressive began publication in Ketchikan, has been a faithful seller of the paper, left today on the steamer Al-Ki for Seattle where he is to be given medical treatment for his deformed ankle. Everybody will regret and miss the little fellow, particularly the office force. Jean was remarkable for his gentleness and good behavior. He was the favorite of all paper purchasers. Men would wait until he would get around rather than buy from the first conner Nine times out of every ten he would beat the other four or five much older boys selling. It is useless to say that everybody will wish him a speedy return home with the re- lief he is seeking. Just before he left, he promised to be good. That's enough.
