The Playwright and the punch"

Inc fiayriShC ana the punch"
once upon TIME, in a large city
there lived a young man who at
tempted to earn living by writing
saleable plays and selling them to
producers. His attempts were un-
successful. He scribbled merry farces
that convulsed his friends when
they heard them read; he wrote tre-
mendous melodramas that caused
them to culver with excitement, and
he wrote beautiful PASTORAL dramas
that made the readers mouth water
tor country sausage and hickory
smoked ham, but somehow the pro-
cucers could not be prevailed upon
TO accept any of them. They
lack punch" was their criticism.
AS the days went by our friends
finances worked themselves into an
embarrassing state. The Iandladv
began to demand money or ROOM
and his friends declined to be
touched another touch. Other
creditors were putting his accounts
in the hands of collection agenc,,s.
And still none OF his work had devel-
oped the much sought for punch"
And then the big idea came to nm.
He took shopworn setting, created
a hero and heroine both married
but not to each other and worked IN
several scenes where the leading wo-
man appeared in her "nightie." BY
way OF punch" he introduced
some lengthy discussions of subjects
that no father would think of dis
cussing in the presence of his fam
lily. The author called it Prob
lem Play" The producers we're de-
lighted and the royalties made him
wealthy.
MORAL-"Punch" Is not what
you feel, but what the man who
kicks in" wants you to put into jt.

YOUNG TROUT
 ARE PLANTED

Saturday was fish" planting day in tbe lakes near Skagway, and through the efforts of Eric Teller, H. Eckenstein, w. B. Batson, Frank Wilson and A. J. sprague, 15,0OO Colorado brook trout were planted in Black Lake, Icy Lake and Lake Dewey, both the upper and lower having liberal amounts of the soon to be speckled beauties turned loose in their waters.
 The shipment of fry was brought up by Mir. spragus from Juneau, where 1t was hatched, and the plant ing of the same in theSkagway lakes will be a practical demonstration of the feasibilitv of transplanting this specie of 'rut into these wa ters.
 To a fisherman or angler a trout" Is simply 2 trout" and "fish is g fish" but to the fish culturist the specie has a different meaning and it is a question of temperature of water, natural food supply, elevation and environments that enter largely as to color. rate of growth and flavor.
 When MT. Sprague was question: to as ,,. the continuation of fishing in ;ae lakes that nave been stocked, he said that 1t would not be necess- ary to dfscont'nap 1 Shing, but that 1t might be necessary to restock the lakes from wear to year, and for that purpose he suggested that an organization be formed by the sportsmen of Skagway to take the matter in hand. The last terrifor- ial legislature made an appropria- ton of $S0.O00 for the maintain ance of fish hatcheries throughout the territory, and in order that Skag way may secure a portion of this fund, it will be necessary that some steps be taken to organize so as to have a standing with the commits sion.
 This evening all lovers of the sport of fishing are urgently re- Quested to be at the Kennedy store at 8 o'clock for the purpose of or ganizing such a club, and it has been suggested that the scope Of the proposed club be made broad enough to take In boat, rod and gun deVotees.
 Juneau has organized q club, which has q strong membership. It is the plans of the founders of this club to have a membership which will include all sportsmen, either hunters or trout fishermen in that section of Alaska, and the princt pal work of the club will be the pro lection of game and the enforce ment of the game laws. The member will be pledged not only to abide by the game laws, but also to report to the proper officers any evasions which might come to their atten- ton.
 At the proposed meeting tonight, Messrs. Wilson and Sprague will be present, and they will aid in the or ganization of the club, by giving further information relGtive to the propagation and protection of game and game fish in the territory.
