Last month one Shismaref nati
came down to rind out about the
mailboat. He said that they had
a radio up there but the operator
wsb new so they d.'d not hear what
happened to the nafor unate boat.
It is very sad to think what he will
have to tell the people up there.
After this man went back, two men
came down to take the corpse that
was found on the beach just this
aide of the wreck, back with them.
They reported that the trail was
very bad. They said that their
liogs had to wade in snow two feet
deep. They went back after they
rested their dogs a day.
The boya who drove a herd
down to Teller to butcher came
back Jus* a few days ago. They
said that the trail was bad all
the way to Teller.
The man are busy putting out
traps since the season opened but
fox are scarce this year and only
a few were caught. .
The boys in school are doing
tine with their radio lessons but
their equipment is very limited.
Our nurse Miss Bannan was very
busy getting things ready for
Christmas.
The Christensen’s at York are
both well and are going some pros
pecting.
Pee Olson with Metta Muller
as passenger arrived from Teller
yesterday. He and Willie Kasook
left today. Pete for Shiamaref
and Willie for Ikpick.
The shore ice has been froxen
sol d since November until a, few
days ago when part of it broke up
about ten miles up the coast.
Everybody seems to be well so
far. No seal were caught except
a few last month. We had some
unusual weather for some time.
It rained almost continually for
two days.

The storekeeper was showing
his Scotch friend through his
store. When they came to the
knife counter, he presented him
with a pocket knife. “But remem*,
ibor,” he said, ’’you must give me
a penny, bo it will not cut our {
friendship." The Scot searched
through his pockets hut could find
no hing smaller than a nickel.
This the storekeeper could not
change.
“Well,” said the Scotchman, I
guess you’ll lust have to keep the
nickel and give me four more
knives.”

If this item seems a trifle ques
tionable for publicaion in a family
newspaper, wd can only say it is
taken from the highly reputable
American Magasine: “When a dip
lomat says yes he means perhaps;
when he sayB perhaps he means
no; if he says no he is no dip
lomat. But when a lady says no
she means perhaps, when she says
perhaps she means yes; if she says
yes she is no lady.”
The following amusing appeal
