gers Declare.

Bored ship news reporters who have
listened indifferently for months to
tales of Cuban revolutions, who have
scoffed at German sea raiders because
of their frequency, and have got up
TO walk when submarine captures
were mentioned, the other day sat
up with an appreciative jerk when
passengers on board the steamship
Santa Maria of the United Fruit line,
from West Indian ports, began TO tals;,
the New York Herald says.
The story wound about the fact that
the Santa Maria carried large collec-
ton of animals which Henry Run was
bringing from the tropics to the New
York Geological park in the Bronx.
Among the animals was a squirrel and
in the cage nearest was monkey. Pas

vet this statement of the question was

four boys out of tifty-one present
caught on" to the question and gave
q correct answer. fully expected
every one would answer correctly. and
requested all to stand and to resume
their seats, when an answer was givep
that was like theirs. Most of the boys

Why Isn't War Stopped?

The following dispatch from
Cordova, Alaska, has appeared in
a number of our exchanges, and is
so good that we are moved to add
to its publicity:
Chief Goodlataw, Of the Copper
River Indians, is highly incensed
that Uncle Sam does not put an
end to the war in Europe. Good
lataw is learned man among his
tribesmen. He knows Alaska we'll
and as a taker Of salmon and trap
per of foxes he is without an equal.
He gained considerable reputation
during the building of the Copper
River and Northwestern railroad
by bringing in court offenders who
sold liquor to members of his
tribe and he has profound respect
for the officers of the court, who
are to him the highest representa-
tives of the law.
Ever since the war began in
Europe Goodlatsw has been hear
ing about it from time to time,
but his only comment has been:
'"Thosc fellows better, look out
over there"
Recently the chief listened with
increasing restlessness to talk
about the battle Of the Somme,
with details Of the number Of
killed, wounded and captured, big
guns and miles of trenches. Final
~ he broke out with:
"W hats the matter over that
place, no United States Marshal?
Why don't write letter to the
Judge? He Tx 'em."
