HAYNES NOTES

Haines, June 1.-The farewell dance given by the Loyal Order Of Moose to the boys at Fort Seward, who are singing Good by Alaska Hello France" in the Arctic Bro therhood Hall on Saturday evening. was the largest gathering ever held in the hall.
 The hall was densely packed and when dancing was in progress quite number preferred to stay out of doors, so as to give room to the dancers. Selmer's orchestra from Skagway furnished the best of mus ic. A capacity load of the good people of Skagway came down on the Harbor Boat Peterson to at tend the dance. .-- .e
 Camp Haines of the Arctic Bro- therhood donated the use of their hall free of charge, which helped 8 little in the matter.
 A bounteous lunch was served by the managers of the affair. which deserves special mention as being one of the best ever served In the Hall. Dancing continued un- til about three in the morning, when the party broke up, and every one went home feeling that they had spent one of the most enjoyable evenings of their lives, but the sad thought would intrude itself, that these boys, our beloved Amert- can boys would soon be over seas, and on the battle front risking their lives for the freedom for which A merica has ever and will forever stand.
 There are quite a number of Ju- neau people here visiting with the new recruits at Fort Seward, who will soon be leaving for the battle front in France. .2

Useful Lessons

-
The war is teaching me a lot
that seems well worth the know
ing; each day some lesson hits
the spot, and keeps my knowl-
edge growing. Pm learning how
to salt the dimes, which may
avert disaster; this was graft
in former times / never seemed
to master. On payday / would
dray my mon, and then would let
it flicker, and always, ere the
week was done, / had to soak
my ticker. But war has shown
me it's a sin to waste a single
nickel, and now / take my hard
earned tin and put it down to
pickle. It's hard to start this
saving scheme, for one who's
been a spender; he thinks that
thrift's a tightwad scheme-he'd
blow his legal tender. But hav-
ing saited down a plunk, the next
is quick to follow; he finds coli
lecting silver junk beats blow
ing it all hollow. The war is
teaching lots of chaps to put
away the shi1lings; slim COM
fort, you viii say. perhaps, for
all the blood and killings. But
it is good to know that war has
one redeeming feature (per-
haps that's what it's fashioned
for )-it's useful as a teacher.

MISSING VEST HUNG IN TREE
Farmers Raiment, Containing Money
Disappeared From 6ush-crows
Blamed as Guilty culprits.

Spooky things happen and some
times puzzle people. Occasionally they
can be accounted for us In this case,
notes Copper's Magazine. One morn.
ing early in August Sayles Turner. an
Eastern farmer, went TO work In his
hay field. As the morning was warm,
Turner removed his vest and hung II
on a small bush. When he quit work
late in the afternoon he went for his
vest, but 1t was gone. In the pocket
of the vest was $40 In bills. Turner
decided II had been stolen.
A few days ago Turner and his hired
man went to the woods, FIVE miles
from his house, to cut wood. The first
tree cut was large hemlock. On q
limb near the top Of the tree they
saw an object fluttering In the breeze.
The tree was felled and the men went
to the object. 1t was Turner's lost
vest. Nineteen of the twenty dollars
were In the vest pockets. The vest
was badly torn. which may account
for the missing dollar. Turner be-
lieves that crows carried the vest from
he hay field and deposited 1t In the
top of the tree.

period they have been protected and
held In captivity, they are capable Of
enduring a surprising degree Of cold

not unusual to find them in outdoor

also seem. he says, to be able to re-
establish themselves in wild state un-

leased on Midway island, a small,

BY 1914 they had increased until 1t
