THE ART OF
SHOEMAKERS
A rew winters ago 1 passed a 4*7
among the wonderfully decorated
tombs In tbe cemetery of whet was
once Memphis, upon the western bank
of the Nile, writes Julius Chambers
in the Brooklyn Eagle. One of the
show places U the remarkable' undar
Krouud palace that the lllustrloos
Queen T1 of the fifth dynasty (L a.,
about 4,900 years ago) constructed for
her final resting place. It consists 0 1
a great court 40 by 60 feet, as I re
member. and several other apartments,
besides the mommy chamber, which la
reached by a stairway leading down
from the largest room. Upon the
walls of this tomb are the best pre
served pictures to be feund In all
Egypt, and among them are the fig
ure# of two artisans working upon
coverings for the feet
Therefore, makers of sboee, I sa
lute you.' More than 4,000 years be
fore the art of printing had practical
existence, although yon will admit
that the decorator of Qoeeo TVs tomb
was almost a publisher, your art was
recognized, respected and Immortal
ised.
The natural Impulse of mankind is
to go barefoot Every reader can re
member youthful days in which the
greatest possible pleasure was era
bodied in a ran through the woods or
along the shore unshod. Very well
can I recall the secret spot in the barn
in which I was wont to hide my shoes
and stockings In order that I might
be in the competition tor the first
stone bruise of the summer. That
was tbe primitive man, speaking up
for the faraway days "before we were
women and men."
AM OLD TIME ASCEMT.
Londvn'a First Bailee* and the Greet
Exeitefnent It Raised.
Tremendous excitement was cauced
when London's first balloon w?at up.
Tbe balloon, manned by a young Itafc
tan named Ylncnnt Lunardl. ascended
from Moorflelds, tbeo an open space of
gromxl, on Sept 15s 17S<, In the pres
ents of mora than 100,000 spoetator*.
All bualneaa waa suspended, the kins
himself setting the example by ad
journing a cabinet council that hap
pened to be sitting Vast crowdsfol
lowed the balloon's course^ some on
horseback. In carta, In chaises, but
mostly on foot The Great North road,
above which the aeronaut aalled for
some distance, waa a roaring river of
humanity.
Many wet* hurt In the crash, but
the only fatality recorded waa the
death from fright of an old country
woman, who, coming out of her cot
tage to aee what the excitement was
about, beheld the balloon Jnst above
her head. On the other hand, Lunardl
undoubtedly saved one man's life, a
Jury bringing in a vewllct of not guilty
on a notorious highwayman In order
that they. xthe prisoner and the Judge
who was trying the case might rash
out of conrt to se? the balloon.
The aeronaut descended eventually
near Ware, in Hertfordshire, where his
sudden drop from the clonds was the
cause of more astonishment and ex
citement Many of the spectators
swooned with fear, while others urged
the putting of Lnnardi to death there
and then on the ground that he must
needs be a sorcerer and In1 leaguo with
the evil one.
?mall N?ck?d New Yorkers.
Statistics furnished by manufactur
ers of shirts and collars indicate that
the average New York man has a
smaller neck than his out of town
brother. Comparison of order* shows
that out of a given volume of business
booked Boston and Chicago led In the
matter of big sizes. Inquiry at sev
eral haberdashery shops In Manhattan
resulted In the information that r.iy
number larger than sixteen and a half
would have to be specially called for
from the factory or had through the
selling agent In other cities it Is an
everyday experience to sell as high
as alxe eighteen over the retail coun
ter. Of course the element of snug
lit is a factor, but as a regular propo
sition eastern and western men are
more "bull necked" than Is the case
with their New York brethren.? New

THE NORTHERN LIGHT
The rest of tho books ordered for the
library arrived on the Jeffirson, about
? hundred and fifty volumes all told.
The list will be published from day to
day aa the book* are ready for circula
too. The first will be ready next week,
after which the books will be prepared
at the rate of about five a day.
We have received the following; item,
for the truth of which we do Dot vouch:
Beginning with the issuo of Msrch 2,
1908, the Dally Alaskan is to have a
new department, which will be known
as "The Mother's Column," and which
will be edited by one Jack Kellar.
BASKETBALL.
At the moraine recess the "Soccers"
played the "Wild Cats." The score
was eleven to one in favor of the "Soc
cers." When any one of the 1908 team
play the Wild Cats always lose. We
all wonder why that is.
At the afternoon recess a game was
played between the "Cubs" and the
"Tigers." The Cubs won by a score of
aeven to nothing.
The 1908 team is rather slow about
accepting our challenge. If the White
Pass Athletic club is willing to let us
use the gjmnaslum for a night or two
we will 'play in short order, Georgo
Black? Captain.
The boys of the class of 190S held
meeting yestetday at noon to discuss
basketball.
On one thing at lea?t the Northern
Light and the Dally Alaskan are In per
fect aocord? that the treatment of
Skagway by tho steamship companies
is hardly to be endured without protest.
Nelllie Orchard was out of school yes
