There was an excursion over to Whttehorse last Saturday, morning, and although it is over and the first accounts have been somewhat toned down, it still continues to be the topic of general conversation.
 Twenty three persons arrived late Friday night from Douglas and Gastineau Channel ports and the Peterson arrived up at five o'clock from Fort Seward with more than persons. Those from Skagway swelled, the crowd to nearly 25O souls aud without one exception the celebra tion is pronounced a de cided success.
 The ball games were the special feature of the entertainment, the Yankees taking the big sack, Doug las dividing second money, and Skagway and Whitehorse getting free tickets to the ball games. They also acted as warming-up teams for the winners, but the day was warm and the teams did not have to exert themselves very much.

WOULD BRING BACK OLD COIN
Our Daddles Found Many Uses for Copper TWo-cent Pieces, and Its
 Restoration 10 Urged.

The American Newspaper Puoliah' ers' association has recommended the return to the two-cent piece. Do you remember the old two-cent coin, with the big figure '2" on itf It was decor ated with a wreath and almost every thing else that could be crowded onto 1t.
 It was used principally for the chil. dren to play with. It was too big for the baby to swallow and large enough to be found when once 1t was lost When the Sunday school kids read of the woman In the Bible who had lost coin and searched the house until she found It, they immediately associated It with the two-cent piece and wonder ed why there should be any trouble about It's recovery.
 But It was good old family coin, nev- ertheless, and would buy two pieces or licorice or one all-day sucker. It was not without its advantages, either. Tor the Sunday collection. It looked big. anyway, and made very respectable noise when 1t was tossed into the plate on top of a pile of other coins.
 To have the old two-cent coin with us again would remind US of the good old days and work no hardship on our financial system. So, let us have It. with the big figure "e" on one side, the wreath and the national shield, and eV- erythlng, just as big as nfe.-Kansas City Times.

A Cheerful Liar.

He's a cheerful liar, even when the thermometer goes to 'steen below zero. Recently, on the coldest morning of the year, he came into the office hopping the precipitation off his brow.
 "What's the matter, Jim?" asked his office mates. "Been working with your furnace"
 "Nix," said Jim. "Tve been chasing robins from cherry trees and driV- ing the sparrows from my strawberry patch"
 Then somebody called attention to white spots on his nose, cheeks and ears. and when the frost had been rubbed out of them, the telephone bell rang. A wifely voice rang for Jim' saying:
 "Can you come home for few hours? The water pipes have frozen and burst. and I'm afraid the house will be flooded. and 1t Is so cold the children are crying"
 Jim stopped his "camoufiaging" and didn't pretend to wipe any more sweat from his face.

ed answer, "but her eggs can wait for a minute"
 The trawlers now crossed their de- pendent cables and thus held the U- boat in a kind of wire cats cradle. She seemed to suddenly wake from her danger, for with bound she tried to disentangle herself from the mesh es which held her. But it was no use; the trawlers had been too long at the game to leave any loopholes and the submarine was doomed.
 "Got him." signalled the seaplane.
 "Thanks," replied the destroyer "WeIl give him five minutes to come up and breathe, but no longer" That time passed but still Fritz made no further move.
 At Jagged signal from the de- stroyer the port foremost trawler anG and the starboard after one clipped a small red tin of high explosive to the bar-taut wire, and allowed it to slide down till it touched the U-boat's hull. 1t was the seaplane's turn to wave flag, and immediately there followed ;he crashing of two fists upon two fir ing keys; the uprising of two grey mounds of water and a rumbling, mufled explosion.
 "The seaplane circled twice above the patch of rising oil, ascertained that Fritz had been destroyed, and notified the destroyer of the fact. Then with her observer slipping drum of cartridges into his machine gun, she sped on after those objects bobbing down tide. A burst of rapid firing and the first of the devils eggs, it's 5uoyancy chamber punctQrcd, sank with gurgle; the second gave a bet ter show for it exploded grandly- and h&rmlessly-as the bullets reach ed it.

Instantly, the observers finger commenced to tap a key and ten miles away, a long, lean destroyer ana four squat trawlers detached themselves from pack ot hounds working a covert, and hasten ed to the kill. Meanwhile the sea nlane circlcd around, but when the surface ships arrived her instructions delivered by wireless, were curt and precise. Acting upon them the traw- lers stationed themselves at the four corners of wet quadrangle, while the destroyer kept her guns ready to talk to Fritz should he appear above the surface,
 The trawlerS at the corners of the wet quadrangle got out their sweeps long wire hawSers of an incredible stoutness, with heavy "kite" in the center to keep their bights down on the seabed-and commenced to steam toward each other. AS the pairs ot vessels met, their wires simultaneous ly engaged themselves under the U- boats bow and stern, and commenced to work their sinuous way between her hall and the sea bottom.
 Then the strange thng happened Two round, black objects seemed to detach themselves from her hull and float sarfacewardS, to hover second and then to commence bcbbing down the tide--bobbing down a lane much frequented by those ships that broul Tt food, munitions of war, and hundreds of other things to England's shore.
