THE CAPTAIN

lie was a captain born and bred. In
years
Though yet a boy, he was a man in
soul,
Led older men and held them in
control,
In danger stood erect and quelled
their fears.
When death calls such captain,
he but hears
As 'twere distant bugle and the
roll
OF far-ofr drums. We wrong him
if we toll
The mournful bell. Give him our
cheers, not tears!
Through deadly scorch of battle
flame and gas,
Through iron hail and burst of
shrapncl SHE'LL
Smiling as when we played at mimic
wars
He was our leader. Is it, then, not
we'll
That he should lead before us to
the stars?

soul pass,

My dear DR.. Frost

 very brief and merely says: George died yesterday. Am leaving on the Alaska"
 MT. Miller had been in poor health for the past several years and two years ago wa sforced to resign his
 position of City Councilman and go to Eastern Washington for his health, He returned here much improved, but was Soon forced to leave again.
 He was taken sick in Seattle and entered one of the hospitals there.

FINE PROGRAM
 THIS EVENING
 FOR HOME GUARD
Special Numbers Will Be Rendered in Addition to the Moving Pictures
 on the Screen.

The program which has been ar, rranged for the Home Guard Rene fit tonight at the Palace Theatre includes several numbers which are alone worth the price of admission and numbers which have never be- fore been heard in Alaska. The headliner of the bill will be the violin duet by Willis E. Howell and Miss Klonda Nelson with MT. Peterson on the piano. ''The Con certs" for two violins by Bach, will be the selection played and it has never before been played in public in Alaska. The work of MT. Now ell. who is internationally famous as a performer on the violin needs no introduction, and he has been re- hearsing this number with Miss Nel son for several months. It is bound to be one of the best musical num- bers heard in Juneau for years. In addition Mir Nowell will play a solo and will also play the obligato for Mrs. L. P. Dawes, who will sing the "Joclyn" by Goddard. This nun I
 Der is also a headliner as Mrs Dawes has a wonderfully sweet voice, and with the famous violin of MT. Nowell to assist, the number is bound to be good.
 The performance will start at eight o'clock, the pictures preceding the special program. The doors will be open at 7:30, but everyone who has secuned one of the white tickets will be assured. of a seat. A few tickets will probably be on sale at the box office as a number of peo- pie purchased tickets who have left town and their tickets will be re- sold to those who have been unable to secure tickets.
 The Home Guard boys will give a short parade before the performance. but will have plenty of chance to re- turn to their homes and get their wives and sweethearts to- the theatre in time for the opening of the per formance.
