SPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9-Follow CTS of football on the Pacific Coast have had an excellent opportunity to judge of the relative merits of the American intercollegiate game of foot ball and the British game of Rugby The fact that after thirteen years as a major sport Rugby definitely has been relegated to the ranks of the minors attest to the fact that it failed to fill the American require ment
 The return three years ago of the University of California from the Rugby to the American fold, and the return this year of Stanford Uni versity, has furnished some interest ing study for students of football. r It has been demonstrated to the general satisfaction of all that a knowledge of the Rugby game serves but little purpose when applied to the American code. For the first year or two after the University of California quit Rugy for the Ameri can game, the wearers of the blue and gold were compelled to submit to series of overwhelming defeats. the scores running into the sixties and seventies. It was found that the players not only had to learn the American game but had to unlearn the Rugby game.

CANNERY CHANGES SUGGESTED BY THE
 CLOSING OF SOME

Commenting further on the rumor that the Northwestern Fisheries Company will close several of it's Alaska canneries, the Ketchikan Min CT says:
 ''In connection with these changes, many prominent cannerymen are be- ing transferred to other canneries o. R. Larson, superintendent of the cannery at Shakan last year has been placed in charge of the com pahy's cannery at Cordova, where MT Peterson has been superintend ent for a number of years MT. Pet erson has accepted the Nakat can nery of the G. w. Hume Company where he is to be superintendent MT Sayles, superintendent of the Roe Point plant lasta year, will go to Little Port Walter, where he will be in charge of the Wilson Fish cries cannery at that place.
 The uncertainty of the prices for which salmon will be sold next Fall, and the increased cost of produc- tion are given as some of the reas- ons for the action of this big com pany. On the other hand, the can neries now being closed have been having considerable difficulty in pro- curing sufficient fish to put up their pack, mainly at Santa Ana and Hunters Bay. It is said, however, that even at Kasaan, the company plans to put up only 75,00O cases next season, where Capt. DeGueldre will remain in charge"

HAYNES, Dec. 2S.-Christmas was properly observed in Haines. The Native school under the able super vision of Mrs. l.. A. Gilman, the teacher of the Native school, gave a very interesting and pleasing en- tertainment in the Presbyterian church. The Native Band furnished the music.
 The Native school gave their en- tertainment at five o'clock in the evening, and the White people gave theirs at eight o'clock, so that those who wished to do so, could attend both. The trees were beautifully trimmed, and the music furnished by the band was first class.
 The Native Band generously fur nished music for the White school entertainment, which was held at the Arctic Brotherhood Hall.
 The following is the program ren- dered at the hall:

And though he said he would whisper
the secret it sounded more like a roar
than a whisper in which he said it.
81 am king, Mrs. Tiger" he said.
'Then if you are king, I must be a
queen" said Mrs. Tiger.
"That's so--you must be a queen"
said the tiger. Il shall call you Queen
Tigress."
"And shall call you King Tiger, and
then We'll both be perfectly correct"
'"The tigers have told their mates
that they were kings for years, l be-
lieve, and the mates have said that
then they must be queens-just as you
and have said"
Now these two were having pleas
ant little chat, though they sounded as
if they were roaring and scolding at
each other-though they did not wrin-
kle their faces and show their teeth
as they do when they are so angry they
want to kill.
~It's so nice to have a title" said
the tiger.

It's a beautiful thought, but I would

Bear was sleeping and doing and
dreaming in her home back in the hole
of big rock, the little bears arrived.
There were three babies and how
beautiful they were. They were not
able to see the world for their eyes
were closed. They were black, like
their mother and so soft and furry and
round.
"They nestled up to their mother and

give weeks went by before they
opened their eyes, and then what a
wonderful world they saw. They were
still in their cave home, for the cold
weather had not passed and Mother
Black Bear was going to take no
chances with her babies.
'They could not really walk at all.
Every time they tried to walk a little,
they fell down. They did not know
how to balance themselves and their
legs didn't seem to be able to hold
them up.
"But each day they tried a little
more, and Mother Bear helped them,
for she had no intention of taking
them out of the cave until they could
walk.
''And in the cave she told them in
sleepy tones, for she was SO very
sleepy, of all the things they must
guard against when they went out into
the world.

and they only had these lessons now
and again, for the sleep was making
them strong, and their mother had
eaten enough in the fall to do for the
winter for herself and for her babies

"She taught them Of the berries they

would make them feel well and strong.
She also told them of the bad things

which would make their little tummies
feel very miserable indeed and which
would make them quite, quite sick.
"And when, at last, they went out
Of the cave, and saw the real world,

wanted to start off at once for adven-

very superior cats, and very wild cats,
wilder than real wild cats are, and
that is saying a great deal, but still

it did sound powerful and as though
her subjects would always have to do
her bidding.
"There are thousands and thousands
and thousands of cats. There are
beautiful cats and ugly cats. There are
household pets and wild ones. There
are cats who do their shopping in the
garbage tins and others who are given
