in case of an explosion, no better lo

Several of oar exchangee hare called
atteotion to the fact tbat the people of
Alaska should not forget the Old Pio
neers* Home at Sitka. Many of the
inmates of this home are without the
meana to provide themselves with any
thing that might be classed as a luxury.
Not one is so independent that he
would not appreciate a little token of
Christmas cheer to show tbat he ie not
forgotteu. How it would gladden their
hearts to know that the good deeds of
their active days were still remember
ed, and that their friends could find
time at the holiday season to stop and
think of them. We doubt much if
there could be found a place where a
"Christmas Box," would be more ac
oeptaUe. With moat of them it is but
a few short years that we shall have
the opportunity to be kind to them.
The Thanksgiving Game
In a stemwinder of a football game
at Treadwell on Thanksgiving day, the
Gastineau team met defeat at the
hand* (and feet) of the Treadwell team.
It was really defeat, for the Gastineau
baying oome down from fourteen gene*
rations of oollege athletes and football
players expeoted to wipe the earth with
the Treadwell bnnoh, but only succeed
in tieing the soore. When the time
keepers auuouced that the hour was
op the Treadwell boys had their op
ponent* badly winded and the ball al
most at the goal, and the score was
7 to 7. A careful observer handed ns
the following, which describes the sit
uation exactly: ulf so and so, and such
hadn't been so and so, Gastineau would
have won the game." Reading the
many excuses and apologies, given by
the Juneau papers on behalf of the
Juneau bunch, beoause they could not
carry eff the bacon on Thanksgiving
day, reminds one of the old story about
the geutle dog and the frightened
rabbit.**
The Douglas Fire Department re- j
sumed its monthly meetings last Sat
urday night when a large crowd of
Douglas firemen, together with a num
ber of representatives of the Treadwell
department gathered at A. L. U. ball.
Vice-President M. G. Rogers presided
in the absence of President O'Connor,
who was abseot from the oity in at- :
tendance at the bridge party in Juneau, j
given in honor of Col. Richardson. It
developed that a substantial sum has
been subscribed by Douglas business
men, enough to keep meetings going
all winter. Mr. W. A. Garn was added
to the entertainment committee. Re
freahments were uerved as usual and
the balance of the evening was passe.1
in listening to (he musical and literary
productions o? members and visitors.
Nymanover Goes South
The Swedish ? American Evening
School for Adults closed its tall term
last Saturday. Twenty-flve students
attended school, of .whom two were
lady students. The interesting part
in relation to this school whs the re
ligious status of those attending. Four
were Lutherans, two Baptists, one
Sweden borgian, one Congregationalist,
three Romau Catholics, oue Greek
Catholic, four non-oommittauts, one
High -Churohma ), three Methodists,
one Free Thought, one Mohammedan,
two suffragettes aucLoue I. W. W. The
youngest student was 19 years of age
aud the eldest 32. Half a dozen child
ren applied for admission, but the
school being for adults only, were not
admitted. No system of merit or de
merit was adopted, the attendants
were let alone in that respeot. The
school was held at Mrs. Johnson's
rooming house ou-St. Ann's avenue.
E. Nymanover, the teacher, will
spend the winter in the states.
