THROWN UP BY TORPEDO ASKS
 HIS NEXT HARBOR

Ar Atlantic Port.-The irrepress- ible humor of the American fight ing man in the face of death was not qbated by the German torpedo boat that sank the United States destroyer Jacob Jones December G.. LiGut Norman Scott, who arrived here with Lieutenant Commander Davi' Worth Bagley, commander of the Jacob Jones, told the story of a sailor who had been hurled into the sea by the explosion of the tor pedo.
 Spouting water and battling with the waves. the sailor grinned and sh6o,ed to his mate, "Oh, boys! Where do we go from here?"
 Commander Bagley, it was learned from naval officers who ac- companied him, planned to surren- de~ himself as a prisoner of war to the submarine in order to save the crew of the Jacob Jones, siXty-siX of whom perished. The C-bOat disap- peared, howevsr, before he could make the offer to the German com mander. Commander Bagley was the last man to leave the ill-fated de- strover. After he had been hauled into a dory, Commander Bagley said to Lieut.. Scott.
 Keep an eye out for the sub marine, Scott. If Fritz will give us q tow 1 will give myself up"
 Soon the periscope of the Bubma- rine came to the surface, 500 yards away. The U-boat approached an American sailor struggling in the water and four Germans dragged the man aboard The submarine then headed off.

THE GIRL ON THE FARM.
Why Not Give Her Some Attention as

 We'll as the 5oy7
 h recent years the problem of keep ing the boy on the farm has been thought serious enough to arouse con- siderable discussion.
 The farmer has been told that he ought to provide the most modern agri- cultural machinery In order to obviate the hard labor of farming and keep the boys interested; that he should send his boys to q good school of sci- entihc agriculture; that he should set aside certain portion of the farm for the boy and permit him to keep the profit from his operation, and he has been told many other things, in all of which the importance of the boy to the farm was emphasized and plans gug- gested to make his lot little easier and more promising. The county agent has interested himself in the problem by organizing boys corn growing and other agricultural contests.
 But how about keeping the girl on the farm? The girl does not ordinarily do the heavy field work, but her serv- ices in housekeeping. cooking and mend ing as well as in buttermaking, milk ing, caring for garden and chickens, which tasks usually fall to her lot, are surely valuable enough to warrant the greatest consideration. And yet dis cussion of the problem of keeping the girl on the farm Is infreQuent-Indian- Rpolis News.

 "A woman can never keep anything to herself" said Danboy to his wife, who had been repeating something he didn't want known.
 "Oh, yes, she can." sad Mrs. Danboy sweetly.
 "I'd like to know what 1t is?' he growled.

NA5QUE BALL
 HUGE SUCCESS


 toos place in the White Pass club building Saturday night is termed by many as being the most happy and successful event of the New Yeac to take place in Skagway.. More than 90 couples were on the floor at one time, and the gallery was filled with spectators. It is etimated that 50 of the danc- CTS were in costumes which included clowns, princes, flowers, bal let dancers, fiTemen, Jack Tars" and many others.
 The door prize, drawn by Miss Nancy Lynch from the numbers which had been placed i'm a hat, was awarded to one of the soldier boys from Ft. Seward whose name could not be learned. This pr'ze consisted of 8 sack of flour.
 TE1 prize, a bronze clock, for the bost dressed lady was awarded to Ms Etta Sundeen, who in cos tune representing a wild rose easi- ly won the honors. Green and pink leaves and petals were character istic of her dress.
 Prince Charming" dressed in long flowing robes of purple and white, with golden shoes and a black wig covered partially by a purple hat, was represented by Walter Dotts, government cable Op- era or in Skagway. Dotts was sa'' to have be,n as chiValrous as Walter Raleigh and to have acted the part of q prince to perfection. The prize was a pair of military brushes.
 Out from the cloak room fit tered and fluttered a ballet dancer, garDed in 8 black velvet ballet dress, trimmed in yellow, wearing on her head a large picture hat sai' to be three feet across, and wPaling tight yellow stockings. She easily was accorded to be the best sutained lady character and was awarded the prize consisting of a box of stationery. After un- masking, the most beautiful maiden was discovered to be Geo. LaBounty clerE for Albert Reinerts store.
 As an Irish tramp, Ed. Barry was awarded the prize of g silver cigarette case for being the best sustained gent. Eddy" acted like all Irishman, spoke like one, and looked like a tramp, therefore he won the prize. His clothes were tatteled, his hat was torn, and his voice was broken.
 Other costumes were too numer- ous to mention. A few which at- tracled especial attention included Wm. Bunting dressed as an old man with the influenza, having his feel in a bath tub, and soaking out the cold. Mrs. Bunting was dress ed a a fireman and everyone took her for a man until the time for unmasking. Mrs. Vandewall repre- sented food conservation, and wore a garb similar to the Red Cross. Ed. Waterman and Clyde Roaers dressed exactly alike as clowns, and took turn about playing in the orchestra, which created a lot of amusement and puzzled the players as well as the dancers.
 About 50 people from Haines and Ft. Seward were in attendance at the ball, and the committee on prizes consisted of two Ft. Seward soldiers and Haines lady, tsrang- CTS to Skagway people.
