Fruit and Vegetable

FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES is the hardest
kind of goods to haudle in Alaska at a profit and special
care and knowledge of how to select and pack goods is a
life study. As each year is added to our experience we dis
cover former defects in handling this line of goods and thie
year we are better prepared than ever before to supply the
northern trade.
All orders intrusted to me will have my personal at
tention. YOURS TRULY,

Alaskan Army Posts Might
Not be Abandoned
Alaskan army posts might not be
abandoned in accordance with infor
mation given out some time ago, whet
it was said ther# would be no troops
sent to Fort Liscnm, near Valdez, or
Fort Davis, near Nome, to succeed those
there now, and which will leave in Jul;
or August. It is now believed thai
troops will be sent to both these forts.
In that event there will be an entire
regiment sent to Alaska to succeed the
Third infantry. i
If a whole regiment shall be sent to
Alaska, as now seems likely to be the
case, it is believed it will be the 2t>th
infantry, which is now in Texas, and
which the Third will relieve. If the
plan is to send only two batallione
north, as was determined upon a short
time ago, then eight companies of the
Tenth infantry will probably come.
They are now at Fort Lawton, near
Seattle, and Fort Wright, near Spo
kane.

THIRTEEN AT TABLE.
The Sequel to u Dinner Party nt the
Home of Jlllllala.
By some persons of nearly all na
tionalities the number 13 Is regarded
with superstitious fear. At Brighton,
England, the town council has just
granted permission to a householder
to change the number of her dwelling
place from 13 to 12A, so many and
diverse have been the ills which the
lady traces to the fatal number. Paris
will not have the number for any
of Its houses. Parisians so hate the
"thirteen party" for dinner that there
is a class of professional diners out
called "quartoraienues," whose fuue
tlon it is to make the fourteenth at
these symposia. The Turks so dislike
it that the word Is practically expung
ed from their language. The Italians
will not even employ It in their lot
teries. The Italian gambler's horror
of the number proceeds apparently
from the fact that u thirteenth card o.
one of his packs bears the figure of
death.
In England the superstition that one
of a company of thirteen must die
within the year 13 traced to the o'd
calculation of the insurance o dices that
out of thirteen persons taken indis
criminately one will die within twelve
months. Others trace the awe In which
the figures are held to the last supper,
nt which thirteen were present. Lord
Lytton dealt with this aspect, remark
ing, "Some have carried it to the ex
tent of disliking that number at all
times, but the commoner form limits It
to Friday." But the antipathy is older
than Christianity. In the old Norse
mythology the thirteen party was
deemed unlucky because, nt a banquet
In Valhalla, Loki once appeared, mak
ing thirteen, and Balder was slain by
the blind god Iloder at the instigation
of the intruder.
In fostering this superstition the
credulous find themselves in good < >m
panj. The question was sprung upon
a dinner party at the home of the fa
mous artist Millais, where they sud
denly found themselves thirteen strong.
One of the company was horrified nt j
the discovery. "The Idea Is," said
Matthew Arnold, "that whoever leaves
the table first will die within a year, so.
with the permission of the ladies, we
will ehi*t the fates at once. I and
these two fine, strong young lads will |
rise together, and I think our united j
constitution!) will be able to withstand j
the assault of the reaper." They got
up, and no raore was thought about It.
Six months later Arnold died in the
prime of life. One of the two men
whom he hud called upon to rise from
the table with him was found shot
dead in his bed In a New York hotel.
The third did seem likely to outlive the
year. He h&u gone to Australia for the
benefit of his health. But for the home
ward journey he took passage by the
Quetta. And that ship foundered
among the reefs of New Guinea.? Chi

He Lasted Well.
They wer? in the family portrait seo
tion of the gallery, and it seemed to
Miss Golightly that her English visitor
was deeply impressed.
"Yes, these are all my ancestors." :
she said proudly. "Now, this is my j
great-great-grandfather, when he was ;
a young man, of course. Isn't he hand
some? My grandfather used to tell
my mother that his grandfather? that's
this one? was a splendid looking man i
as long as he lived and as popular j
with women as with men because he ,
was such a hero.
