WHILE full announcement of " the 1888 U. $. stamp program is still awaited, reports on appar- ent good authority from Wash ington indicate another Constitu- ton commemorative will be is sued June 21. It would mark New Hampshire's ratification of the Constitution on June 21, 1788, the ninth state to approve the document and thus the number required for full ratification.
 Adding to the list of U. s. Con- stitution Commemoratives, De- minican Republic has issued a se- 2ies of three stamps. They por- tray map of the western heml- sphere, torch of liberty and tablet marking the 150th anni- versary of the great American charter.
 First to lead the world in mark ing the centenary of the postage stamp is France. A commemora- tive issued reproduces the design of the original French stamp Of 1849. The stamp invention really dates from 1888, although Great Britain issued the first ones in 184O. It is believed many other countries will follow in this field.
 < m
 Sweden will issue special set of stamps in March to mark the 3OOth anniversary of Swedish set clement in Delaware, Sweden will send a formal delegation to United States June 27 to be re- ceived on the spot where the in- trepid colonists in 1888 first set foot on American soil.

 And so in their large masculine way they disposed of the matter of a mere letter, shook hands, swore eternal friendship, and parted. Later, they saluted as their two ships left the harbor. One ship stood toward the east. The other headed north, following the coast line - the May Queen bound for Connecticut.
 Some British warships stood off Norfolk, and these drove her out to sea. Two of them followed her, and because they kept together like pair of gadflies, Jerry dared not fight them but fled before them, hoping to lose them and so turn home again. This monstrous game kept up for fortnight. And then one day the May Queens lookouts reported that the gad- flies had parted company and only one remained.
 Jerry went to meet this ship in combat. And so they tested the May Queens long guns. There was bloodshed. and five of Jerry's men were buried at sea, but there was victory too.

Jer- " and his original 12 men could at- test to the prowess of British fists, even when swung by sleepy drunk ards. Jerry's left cheek was crazily split where the surprised helms .',"n's knuckles had placed their o4.e protesting blow. His moccasined feet were painfully sore from the scuffling British boots that had trodden over them.
 Yet the wonder of this beautiful brig made his aches and bruises seem as nothing to Jerry Whit field He ran over the ship like gratified boy who cannot believe his luck. He was mute and awe struck as he studied her broad decks and beautiful cabin, her stout canvas and strong Spars and rnalzed that they were hjs 10 command. For by the laws of war she was his! There was only Cabell Banks to dispute his own ership, ana Cabell had spoken. CaDel had stood in the presence of Do Il crews just before they left the island and said:
 Captain Whitfield boarded the May Queen against my advice and without my assistance. She is his, I have nothing to do with her, eXcel to share the cargo accord ing to agreement"
 Because of the cargo the two captains were proceeding together now to an American port. They wished a court of admiralty to pass on their prize in order that all might be legal.
 And so for the second time they put in at Wilmington for matters of business. They learned now that privateer shippers needed sharp wits, for the cargo they had on their hands was rich and ex- tensive. Dealers were in port fro mcities as far away as New Orleans and New York.

 Yet satisfaction prevailed. Ca bell was able to pay his debts and restock the Gray Gull for a long cruise, besides laying by a tidy sum in the bank against an- other barren season. Jerry was able to buy provisions without stint for the big May Queen and to engage larger crew. The sailors received their prize money hilariously and swore allegiance.
 
 On the night of departure from Wilmington, Cabell and Jerry sat in the Gray Gull's cabin and enjoyed a last talk. They were going their sep arate ways, Cabell across the Allan tic again, Jerry to Connecticut to

Big Pioneer
 Roof Garden
 This Week End

Next Saturday, Dec. l7th, will witness the 34th annual Pioneer Roof Garden given each winter und:r the auspices of Nome's Pioneer Igloo No 1, the mother Igloo of the many spread thru out Alaska.
 Many of the splendid great hearted pioneers who participat- ed in the Roof Garden parties when Nome was young. are gone from us--yet there is surpris- ing number still with us who are enthusiastically lending of their time and spirit, assisting in mak- ing this latest Roof Garden a worthy successor of those that have gone before.
 To one who has been a resident of Nome through the years, the words Pioneer Roof Garden pre- cipitate a nostgalia for the past, and conjure up before the minds eye ghostly retinue that silent ly pass in review within the walls of memory.
 Included in this vista of the past is the happy recollection of many gladsome evenings spent in the society of friends, enjoy ing the games, programs, song festS, dancing and other features of entertainment that these an- nual Roof Gardens always evoke. The current Roof Garden gives every promise of being just as gay, entertaining, and as full of wholesome fun as those of yester year.
 At this time of the year, when winter takes over, most of us are inclined to spend too much time indoors, and possibly neglect some of the amenities of modern society relating to friendship, the good neighbor theory, and to community well being. It is large ly with this thought in mind that Pioneer Igloo No. 1, urges the entire community to attend and participate in their 34th annual Roof Garden, guaranteeing to all an evening of pleasurable enter tainment and affording the oppor tunity of spending an evening in the company of your friends.
 The place, Nome School Gym; the date, Saturday. Dec. IT; the time, 8:45. Admission, adults $l.00. Children 25e. Watch for the program of entertainment.
