THE THIN VENEER

We wot not! Our lbscn has become mixed with Tolstoy until we give it up. Besides we are married man and cautious. The last ease we rcall where an Alaskan stripped eff the thin veneer of civilization occurred in Seward last winter when a man dashed down the city streets with no cloth ing on but a Big Ben alarm clock tied around his neck. The inhabitants of that city cmulatcd the clock and placed their hands before their face. Even the snow birds were of a calminc hue by the time the clock ran down and the marshal led the stripped one to jail, covered with goose pimples until he looked like a non-slid tire.

U. s. FRENCH IN FRANCE

..Jonah Vark" some call the Maid of Orleans. Still others , but that IS the story. French as it is spoke" is weird and wonderful thing among American sol diers in France, but they are rapidly de- ,clopmg into linguists.
 An American troop train bound for the front had stopped in a city of France. The soldiers were light mtillerymen. Their ms. cmnngly painted in the latest style of camouflage. were blocked on flat cars, each ear bearing an escort of Yanks. Other ears were loaded with caissons and "show wagons. while number of box ears scat cred through the train housed yet more ,livc-drab fighters. The whole outfit was fubilant that their training days were over and they were at last on the way to where heir grim pets could bark defiance to the enemy. Cheers and shouts rang to the sta ton roof and the French waved back and vishe dthcm bon voyage.
 .What's the name of this placeF' yell- ed the soldiers. But the passengers didn't understand the query.
 In few minutes a Y.M.CA. man came into view and the question was howled at him.
 Orleans" he replied. You've heard of the Maid of Orleans Well, this IS the place"
 1.-The Maid of Orleans! Oh, you, mean Joe-Anne of Are" spoke up the historian of the party.
 "Joe-Ame of Are! Where do you poor fish get that stuff, anyway! Have you been in France three months and don't know how to pronounce a simple name! It's John Dark" and the soldier speaker leaned back and lit cigarette with flour ish indicating that the amazing ignorance of his companions bored him insufferably.
 But the opposition had number if not knowledge, on its side, and the superior one was quickly buried under a barrage that had his gasping.
 Were talking about lady, not a man, n,' was the chorus.
 Fall off and wake up! Who ever heard of a girl being called John'' was the final clincher.
 Then the diplomat of tic party chimed in. "What difference does it make how you pronounce the name?" he Queried. Wasn't she the girl that stood the invad- CTS of France on their beansl And ain't we on the way to do the same thing2"-Ex.

There is one strange thing about the Garrison poisoning ease that is just now stirring up Seattle. None of the Seattle pa pcrS have yet said that any of the princi- pals were former AlaskanS." It seems that there can never be anything happen in that city in police circles, or any other circles in fact, but some of the papers say he OF she was a former Alaskan. It makes little difference whether the person re- tcrrcd to only saw Alaska from the deck of m excursion steamer, the reporters secm to think that it adds glamor to the name to tack that phrase on to it.

It is gratifying indeed to hear that Douglas City not only is free from debt but that there is money to the extent of about S6OO0 in the treasury. Last year was with out doubt the worst year Douglas has ever experienced i'm regards business and will without a doubt be the worst one the town will ever have If the city came through that year with money on hand we need have no fear of the future.
