Skagw^y Mast Defend Ouly
Oa Holiday
SUagway must dafend the White
horse challenge cup that was won last
vearonlyon a National holiday or a day
? celebrated for a national holiday. That
S means that a contest for this trophy
will be one of the attractions for the
Skagway Fourth of July celebration
this year- -provided a challenge shall
have beeo previously made.
This is in accordance with the agree
ment signed last year at Whitehorse by
the .captains of the various baseball
teams Blancnarl signing forSkaguav,
Barriogton for Whitehorse, Campbell
for Juneau and Marshall for Douglas.
It is probable that the Juneau chal
lenge that was roceived last month will
be given the preference here on the
fourth of July, and if Juneau wijs it,
of course, it will go to their town and
be played for a year from now. If
Skagway should defeat Juneau, then it
would have to defend it again the same
day against Whitehorse.
A copy of the agreement signed at
Whitehorse is in the possession of J. I
M. Tatu er, manager of the Snagway
team. Copies were also given to June- j
au and Douglas baseball managers.
The original is at Whitehorse.

Poor Mr. Archibald :
i
[Original.]
The honeymoon was over for young
Mr. and Mrs. Archibald, and they were
entering the most dangerous period for
married people? the porta! between ro
mance and practical wedlock. Th#
first ripple came one evening at din
ner, when the husband announced that
be had an engagement In the city with
u party of his old cronies. The wife
?aid nothing, but her husband saw
that she was doing a great deal of
thinking. He therefore spoke with all
the Intonation of affectlou of which he
was capable, emphasizing the "dear"
i and going around behind her and put
ting his arms about her. It was all of
no avail. Had he not dreaded the
' chaff of his bachelor friends ho would
i have broken the engagement and stay
| ed at home. As it was, he kissed his
wife several times, not eliciting the
slightest respouse, and with much mis
giving went out.
Mrs. Archibald had never lxsfore been
compelled to pass an evening alone. A
member of a large family, with hosts
of friends of her own age. her life had
| been oue delightful holiday. Now
i among strangers. In a strange place,
; sitting alone listening to the ticklug
' of the clock? it ticked lond euough to
i wake the dead? a very natural revul- i
! slon came over her. Before her luar
j rlage she had thought she would die
I without her lover. Now she thought
she would die without her home and
all who were lu It. It occurred to bet
with sudden and overwhelming force
that she had exchanged everything for
tothlug. No, for a life of loneliness.
And her crttwn of sorrow was that aft
er all the billing and cooing the man
for whom she had made the sacrifice
| would not give up the society of his
old chums for hers. She threw her
self on a sofa, burled her face In a pil
| low and moaned:
i "Mother:"
The young husband had voluntarily
told his wife that he would return by
the 10 o'clock train, reaching home at
11. This necessitated his leaving his
friends by half past 9, and wheu he
proposed to do mi there was a shout of
derision.
"She's got him under already:" cried
one.
"Come, old man," said another, "put
up a good fight In the beginning and
you'll have an easy life. If you don't
slavery Is yours forever."
And so Mr. Archibald, rallied by his
friends, put off his going from train
to train till the last, which left at 12
midnight. But some oue bad borrowed
his watch on preteuse ot' doing a sleight
i of hand trick with it and had set.lt
, back. Therefore when Archie, as they
called him. rose to go there was a
shout of laughter, aud he was informed
that the train had been gone ten mln
utes.
All this puts Mr. Archibald's friends
In a somewhat bad light. But they
were not so bad as they appeared.
Aftvr Imdgering their victim for awhile
they told hlui that he needn't worry.
One of them had an automobile wait
ing, and they would all see him home
to moke sure his wife didn't abuse
him. Unfortunately they were a Ion*
while getting away, and at 2 o'clock In
the morning, when they were spinning
over a road through a lonely wood,
there was a report, the automobile
turned side wise against a telegraph
pole, and the party was spilled In the
road. A tire had exploded. The only j
Injury to any one of them was a
scratch on Archie's hand.
It was 7 a. tn. when the party rode
up to the Archibald domicile, and all
alighted at his Invitation for break
fast. Leaving them In the library, he
mounted the stairs to find his w*ife.
She was not in her room, nor had her
bed been occupied. Ho rang for a
servant, who informed him that Mrs.
Archibald had taken the C o'clock train
for her mother's home. Going down
stairs, he excitedly announced to the
party the result of their escapade. The
news temporarily threw a damper over
them. Then some oue proposed to take
Archibald to his wife's refuge, fifty
miles distant, and bring her back. But
! one of the party, a widower, made a
! suggestion.
j "It wouldn't do. fellows," be said, "to
go there without something to work
j on. There has beeu a terrible automo
I bile accident. Archie has been Injured.
Put him to bed. Two of us will stay
with him while the rest go and break
the news as delicately as possible to
his wife."
! The proposition was accepted. Archie
! was carried by two stout fellows to his
room and his hand wound in bandages,
i The automobile dashed away..
I About noon the maTMiiue came puff
' lng up to the house at lawbreaVIng
| speed. Mrs. Archibald would not wait
i to be handed out and, rushing Into tbo
j house, threw her arms wildly about
her husband.
"Forgive me. darling," she cried.
"Be careful '>f his hand." exclaimed
one of his masculine nurses. "We have
done the best we could for the poor
fellow since you were not here to nurse
: him."
"I' shall never forgive myself."
A few days later au automobile of
| the latest pattern came, a belated wed
ding present from the friends who had
caused the rupture, to Mrs. Archibald,
with a polite uote saying that the glv
: ?rs Intended it to bring her speedily In
! case she were absent when "poor Ar
] chie" needed her.
I The Injured man in a week's time
I succeeded In getting away from his
wife to business, resolutely declining,
j however, for a month to unbandage
' his hand. He might have left her for
1 uls old chums when lie liked after that,
but her tender solicitude for him while
1 recovering from his wound weaned
him from them, and they were obliged
either to give him up or see him at his
home. WILLARD O. IRVING.
What Came of a Scullion
[Orttfnal.J
There was trouble on the mind of tne
chief cook of Slgnor Fallero, a wealthy
Venetian gentleman living in Franca.
Slgnor Fallero had Invited a number of
distinguished people to dinner. There
were to be princes, nobles and mer
chants of Venice and. more Important
than all, a number of art critics. I say
?more Important than all" because
that was an age when the fine arts
nourished and a man who could judge
of a painting or a statue was looked up
to more than one possessing birth or
wealth. At any rate, these men were
ot more Intrinsic worth than all the
rest at this dinner of the Venetian.
But what was amiss in the kitchen?
A confectlouer who had been charged
with making a large candy ornament
to decorate the table had sent word
that It had been spoiled and there was
do time to make another. The chief
cook stormed and tore his hair. Per
fection was his aim. and what would
all the delicacies he had prepared avail
without the georgeous centerpiece?
A boy who served as scullion ad
vanced and said In a timid voice:
"If you will let me, I think 1 can
make you something that will do In
place of the confectionery piece."
"You, Antonjo? What do you know
about fashionable things?"
| "1 have worked In the yard of my
grandfather, Pisauo, the stonecutter,
j "Nonsense! A stonecutter . knows
nothing about artistic work."
The boy begged hard, and as there
was nothing else to be done ho was
ilven permission to try his hand. lie
sent for some butter and fashioned it
into a crouching Hon. It was placed
upon the table, and soon after the
princes, the merchants and the art
critics wen* ushered into the dining
room The chief cook wore a melan
choly look, keeping his eye filed on
what he considered a blemish to an
otherwise splendid table. The guests
ranged themselves around the table
1 and took seats. ...
I The cook saw one of the art critics
looking fixedly at the butter lion, and
the poor man Inwardly cursed the mo
ment that he had consented to use the
scullion's work. Then he noticed that
the art critic said something to the
man sitting next to him. and they both
looked at the lion. The chief cook s
knees trembled beneath hlin. Surely
his master would discharge him for
putting this fierce looking creature
that was made of such soft material
before these great men. He had hoped
they would not especially notice It.
and already two of them were looking
at It and talking about it. But when
several other groups laid down their
spoons, neglecting the soup that had
cost the chef so much pains and began
j to stare at the centerpiece he was in
i despair. -
"Slgnor Fallero." said the man who
had first noticed the lion, "we are not
1 surprised at your munificence In grac
t |ng your table with a work of genius,
but we are at a loss to know how you
obtained the services of one who should
consent to place the expression of his
genius In so perlshablo a substance as
butter."
The host looked at the lion, then In
qulringly at the chief cook. The latter
had become so confused over the out
come of his substitution of a few
pounds of butter for a splendid candy
centerpiece that he did not hear or did
not understand what the guest had
said. He broke down and confessed
his culpable folly.
"Slgnor," he said tremulously, "par
don my Iniquity. Just beforo the din
ner was ready the confectioner sent
word that he had spoiled the splendid
candy centerpiece I had ordered and
which would have been In every way
worthy of your noble guests. When 1
was In great distress at this mishap
Antonio, the scullion, came to me and
offered to make something to fill Its
place. In an evil hour I listened to
him. If you and your noble guests will
forgive me I will remove the blemish."
For a moment there was a bush ot
astonishment about the table; then
guest that had spoken, an eminent art
critic, said to the chief cook:
"Do you mean to tell me that the
lion was fashioned by a scullion and
shortly before dinner?"
"Yes slgnor. He begged so hard
"Slgnors," said the critic, "one of the
world's greatest geniuses has been
"The boy, the boy! Let us see the
boy!" cried the guests.
"Send him In," said the host to the
CCThe mystified sen-ant retired and In
a few minutes returned, bringing with
him the scullion.
"Slgnors," said the host, "this Is
Boy, what's your name?"
"Antonio Canova," said the aston
ished boy. .
Then the critic, rising, held forth his
wineglass and said:
"Antonio Canova, I drink to an art
ist Gentlemen, drink with me to An
tonio Canova. May his genius grow
1 constantly brighter."
The guests rose and drank tho toast,
whllo the astonished boy stared at
' them as If he had suddenly come under
the Influence of enchantment. Then his
host told him that his scullion work
was ended. He had resolved to be re
: sponsible for the boy's education.
I The promise was kept. The works
1 afterward achieved by the great sou p
tor are curious not only for their n
! trlnslc value, but that they came from
! inch a small beginning. It Is a re
markable fact that the beautiful mar
ble "Cupid and Psyche." the del.ght of
all civilized mankind, should have been
produced by one who was once a scul
