ONE WAR CLAIM

Germany will have lot of bills to pay when the war is oyer, and one of the most important of them is a Dill for a basket of fish and eggs. There is today "at an Eng fish ptrt," as the censor makes us gay, fisherman who is mighty anxious for the war to come to an end. He is a poor man, and there fore the bill he holds against the kaiser is all the more important to him. This certificate of indebt- edness will be handed to the Ger man emperor personally, if the fisherman has his way.
 It so happened that one peace full afternoon in the early days of the war, while alone in his boat within rifle shot of the harbor, submarine suddenly emerged along side. Before the man had time to fall overheard from fright an Offic- CT thrust his head out of the con- ming tower and in English asked if he could have some fish.
 Sure" said the excited fisher man as he turned over a basketful. "Can you get us some eggs?" asked the German. Sure" said the man in the boat, and promptly pulled for the shore, disappeared into his hut and reappeared with several dor en eggs, which he brought out to the hundry submarine crew. Then, instead of offering to pay, the crew said Thanks" and, closing down the hatch, disappeared from view. The fisherman explains that he thought they were English, oth- erwise he would not have supplied them. .

\ TIMELY SUCCESSION

From present indications athlet- les in Skagway during the coming winter will hold the center of the stage in so fur IS local entertain ment is concerned.
 Already basket ball teams are being lined up, and the Elks are be ginning to think of bowling.
 The North star Athletic assOcia- ton at Whitehorse hus opened its bowling alleys, and several hotly contested games have been rolled.
 It has been suggested that an international tournament of basket ball and bowling be held this win ter, the tournament being held in Skagway, teams participating from Dawson and Whitehorse aud Juneau Treadwen, Thaue, Fort Seward and Skagway.
 Teams could meet here from the North and South with the least expense, and a grand carnival of sports be the result.

At 72 he spends much of his time walking, perhaps trying to imagine that his valor early in the war when he marched at the head of his plucky army, makes up for his earlier acts.
 The King of Hediaz," formerly sheriff of Mecca, is another re- gently deprived of office. But he seems to have come out on top, the English, French and Italian governments have recognized the government of Hediaz, which he founded. In it are the holy cities of Medina and Mecca.

WHY WOMEN
 SUFFER
Many Skagway Women Are Learn
 ing the Cause

Women often suffer, not know ing the cause. Backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness.
 Irregular urinary passages, weak ness, languor-
 Each a torture Of itself.
 Together hint at weakened kid neys.
 Strike at the root-get to the cause.
 Quickly help the kidneys if they need 1t.
 No other remedy more highly endorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Here's convincing testimony.
 Mrs. S. E. Ellsworth, 527 Rex Ave, Portland, Ore, says: q was all run down because of kidney trouble and I can hardly describe the pains in my back. Many times I was so dizzy and nervous I could hardly keep going. My sight was often blurred and big black specks came before my eyes. My sleep didn't seem to rest me and al ways felt tired and listless. My kidneys were weak and my feet and ankles became swollen. used Doan's Kidney Pills and was soon completely cured"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy - get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Ellsworth had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

CroWnless KingsAreNow
 Living Easy


 stantine, of Greece, have received more than their shore of atten- ton as monarchs deposed by the fortunes Of war in the great con flict now being waged in Europe. There are others, and the New York Times tells of them as fol- lows:
 Nicholas Petrovich, the old king of Montenegro, is another ruler who lately lost his crown, att least tenn porarily. He has leased a villa just outside of Paris, where he IS living with his daughter, Princess Xenia. Because Nicholas was sus- pected of treachehy to his allies the entente powers, he is guarded by the Paris police, although he en- joys comparative freedom. His cab met minister, who went with hlm when h lift his country, when the army was starving and beSieged Dy the forces of the central powers has deserted him. But Nicholas is not alone, for he took with him his entire family, excepting Prince Mirko, who was left behind with the army, and has been mentioned as the Austro-Hungarian candidate for the throne of a united Serbo- Croatiau state under Austro-German protection.
 King Nicholas Petrovich is pas sionarely fond Of poker. When he is not reading the war news ac- cordmg to reports from Paris, he gathers his old cronies about him for 8 game. He is the father or the Queen of Italy. Another of his daughters is Princess Francis 1o- seph of Battenberg, and still an- other is a Russian grand duchess.
 Little has been heard recently or King Ferdinand of Rumania, who sacrificed his vast holdings in Aus tria by allying himself with the en- tente powers. His brother, William, I5 months older, who was himself crown prince of Rumania until he resigned all his rights in 1886, not only has expelled Ferdinand from the family, but now has begun to call himself king. It is certain .that Ferdinand's finances are in a ye:y tad condition, and it is not likely that he will ever regain his lost property in Austria. The old CT brother, William, has two sons, both of whom are generals in the German army, and his daughter by his first marriage was welded to Manuel II, then King of Portugal.
 Peter. King of Serbia, had the distinction Of being the second king to lose his crown because or the present war. His grief was probably greater than that of any other ruler who met with a similar misfortune; for Peter had spent lifetime trying to gain the throne. His early Crime-the murder Of Prince Obrenoyitch that he might take the throne-waS never quite forgotten. Then, too, Peter was not accepted into the graces of the oth- ar European royalty on his accession to the throne in 1903, following the murder Of King Alexander and Queen Draga-his last step to the crown.
 This sad little old man once re marked in a fit of temper: "I must be very ill today; it does not even
