 DISPLAY REMARKABLE
 COMERADER|E AT XMAS

George King, Jr., of Seldovia, is patient in the Seward General Hospital.
 But even the walls of a hospital are not impervious to Santa Claus for read what the Boy Scouts of the little fishing village on Cook Inlet did that George might know that he belongs to an organization which upholds the highest tradi- tions of comeraderie, and that his Christmas might not fall short of the more fortunate of his fellows:
 Seldovia, Alaska,
 Dec. 9, 1881. MT. SWetmann,
 Seward, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 T am sending herein 6 money order for the amount of $500, which our Cub scouts would like to have credited to the account you have for George King, who is patient in the Seward General Hospital.
 This amount represents the sav- ings of nickels and dimes by the boys of the Cub Scout Troop, of which George is member. About a month ago the boys started sav- ing their extra pennies to help pay the medical bills for their friend George, and decided to send their earnings to you, for we all know that Georges bill for medicines amounts to considerable,
 While the amount Is not great, I'm sure George, as we'll as your self, will appreciate this effort and desire on the part of the boys to help out in this way. Money that might have been spent for candy was dropped in the bank flor Georgie." Some boys stayed home from the show so they might put l in the price of their ticket for Georgie; others added their earn ings from the running of errandS, etc. There has been a keen inter- est in the bank account and it's increased amount. '. The boys are all anxious for George to be well l and able to return home .. Respectfully yours, ALLAN L. PETERSEN, "Seldovia Cub Scout Master" |"

others were so exhausted by cold, hun
ger and exposure, that there was not
much fight left in them, and Bryan did
all that he could to rouse them time and
again from the lethargy that meant
death.
He gave away as much of his clothing
as he could to protect the less robust
ones among his companions, and when
found by rescuers was clad only in his
undergarments. Even then he insisted
on being the last one taken from the bus.
No less heroic was Carl Miller, the
driver of the bus, who stayed the first
night with the children in the midst of a
bowling blizzard The next morning he
started for help, leaving his own little
daughter among the children in the bus.
She, with Bryan's younger brother, Arlo,
were two of the victims who were claimed
by death. Miller's body was found frozen
stiff, a few miles from the place where
the bus had been wrecked.
Practically all of the Is who We're
taken from the bus will survive their
ordeal, without any permanent bad ef-
fects. Amputation, which was at first
feared in several cases, will not be neces-
sary.
These children will never forget the
terrible experience went through. Right
now they are only able to think of their
own sufferings but in after years they
will remember chiefly the heroism of
Bryan Untiedt and Henry Miller, whose
unselfishness made it possible for them
to survive

Joie Kat was q little pussy boy

he looked funny or was always max

he could make them if he tried. The
funny part about Joie Kat was that
he always wanted 10 be jumping.
He would jump up in the air and
then Jump down. And he loved to
jump over things like chair, a
table or maybe a hard word in his
reading book.
The Lady Mouse Teacher in the
Hollow Stump School did not like

words in his reading book. tsa.
You must learn the hard words

Mouse would squeak.
"Yes'm," Joie would say, but he
never did. Oh, you don't need to

pussy cat, tried TO catch the Lady

his companions, some of whom We're old

He told how he slapped the youngsters
