The feeling of my parents toward
Uncle Hyacinth was so wholly one of
adherence that they had forbidden him
the house. My father never even men
toned his name and it was only at rare
intervals that my mother spoke of him.

this anecdote stands as a perfect illus

of his bravery, glass Of wine was held
to his lips, litter obtained, and two of
the Revolutionists were delegated to
carry the hero forward. In no particular
did the patriots spare any effort to re-
heve their charge of his imagined
agonies.
AS the strange cortege began to ad-
vance crowd collected, forming a pro-
cession which increased in numbers at
every few feet. Brandishing a naked
sword, student Of the Ecole Polytech-
nique appointed himself leader of the
whole affair, while on either side of my
uncle marched bare-armed democrats
with green twigs stuck in their gun
barrels.
"Hurrah for the wounded hero, The
hero! The hero. Hurrah."
The air rang with huzzas.
Printers with paper caps, bakers in
white aprons, students wearing the epau-

wearing a shake so big for its head that
it touched its shoulders, all followed,
shouting:

A Tipsy
Arrival

Women threw flowers, and here and
there some even knelt as Uncle Hyacinth
passed. His litter was strewn with
quantities of tricolored ribbons and
laurel branches
Revolutionary guards cleared the street
all along the way. Squads on guard be-
hind the barricades presented arms to
the rolling of drums and the blaring of
trumpets. Cries of Long live the de-
fender of the people," Long live the
defender of the Charter" rang in an
atmosphere which quivered with light
and heat.
On the tables in front of the cabarets
bottles appeared as if by magic and
glasses actually flew to the lips of Uncle
Hyacnth as he went by on his bed Of
glory.
Smoking like censers, my uncle's bear
ers were soon completely under the sway
OF wine and enthusiasm. And in the
midst of all the pomp and ceremony
their charge was at last landed in the
shop of Madame Constance, washer
woman, on the corner of the Place dc Ia

MILD WINTER IS ENJOYED
 BY JUNEAU
But Five Januarys in 25 Years Warmer Than the Weather for Past
 Month.

That the people of Juneau en joyed mild Winter weather during the month of January just closed is shown by the meteorological summar: issued by the Weather Bureau. With mean temperature of 32.O degrees the average daily excess was 51 de gress, the normal. based on "A years records, being 269 degrees. In these "A years there have been five Jan uaries that have been warmer thar the one just closed, the warmest be ing that of 1908, when the mean was 36.O degrees. In 1915 the month was similar to that of this year, tho mean being 32.1 degrees. N Those who were here ten years ago doubtless remember the Januar, of 1909, which was the coldest or record with mean of 140 degrees
 The extremes in temperature il the month just closed were AS or the 10th, and IA on the 18th, re spectively The highest temperature recorded in previous Januaries was cV III loJl, anu tuc iOWcst-lo II 1916. In January. 1915 the mercury did not go below 19 degrees.
 The total amount of precipitation was 11.41 inches, which includes the water equivalent of 265 inches ol snowfall. As the normal precipita tion for January, based on 26 years records. is 6.60 inches, there was al excess of 73 per cent This was due largely to the heavy rain on tho 9th. when 3.44 inches was recorded Rain or snow in measureable quan titles fell on 26 days, while there I were five clear days (days averagins three-tenths or less of sky overhead) As might be expected in a month with an excess of precipitation, there was deficiency in sunshine the to tai being only 23 per cent. of the possible amount.

MERRY LASS|ES MAY COME NORTH

Sympathy Has Been Ami mated for the Soldiers on Guard at Matanuska
 Coal Fields.

The Salvation Army announces that it intends to issue a call for volunteers to go to Alaska as soon as navigation opens, to sheer and offer hospitality to the American sol diers guarding the Matanuska coal fields.
 The announcement says the troops were enlisted before the first draft, and were eager to fight in France, but are now stationed in the most desoate, God-forsaken regions in the world. It is said the hardest things they must bear is the though that they are forgotten back home, and that no welfare organization has shown any interest in them towards providing nurses, sweaters and other needed articles.
