MAY PLAY
Skagway and Jnueau To -Merit
Next Sunday
? ? ? ? i
Skagway anil Juneau will probably
play baseball next Sunday afternoon.
Tbe Juneau team i-jntemplates coming
to Skavay and going to Whitehorse to
participate in the Victoria Day game*
at that piace. It is proposed that they
remain over at SKagw?y one day and
play here next Sunday.
la anticipation of a game at Skagway
a movement is on fool at 'Juneau to
work up an excursion to come to Skag
w?y Saturday on the Georgia and to
return to Juneau on tbe Humboldt
Sunday evening.
' May Not Ba For Cap
The Idea prevails at Juneau that tbe
challenge cup tivon by the Whitehorse
committee a year ago wi I be played for
this vtar, and the J uneauites are expect
ing to take the cup home with them.
However^itia thought here they are
counting their chickens before hatching
time. Tbe understanding ol Skagway
baaebaliists is that the cup was given to
the team that would win and defend it
for a year. Skagway has done that al
ready. Skagway won ii at Whitehorse
last May and defeated J uceau two games :
v'Ut of three after having won it? count- !
ing tbe game that .Juneau forfeited be- :
cause Skagway had also secured some
outside talent for the purpose of meet
ing the professional players in the
Juneau aggregation.
Spitsful Little Jab
Speaking of baseball, the Juaeau
Itecord- Miner, referring to the fact that
two or three men came to Skagway re
cently from Seattle to play with the
Skagwav baseball team, says:
"Despite the howl Skagway has been
in the habit of making regarding semi
professionals being imported for the
Juueau team, that town has come down
- or up?? to the same proposition."
The Juneau sporting editor, prubably
through force of habit evidently thinks
the other Alaskan towos should join in
assisting Juneau to defeat them and
win the championship.

THE ARKANSAS HOG.
It Can Outrun a Greyhound and Whip
a Wolf or a Bear.
An esteemed contemporary gov#
space to the following communication
from a subscriber on "The American
Hog:"
"Arkansas has a greater variety of
hogs and less pork and lard thau any
state In the Union. An average hog In
Arkansas weighs about fourteen
pounds dressed with Its head on and
about sis pounds and a half with Its
head off. It can outrun a greyhound.
Jump a rail fence, ,climb like a parrot
and live on grass roots and rabbit
tracks. It hasn't much tall or bristle,
but plenty of gall. It will lick a wolf
or a bear In a fair tight It Is called
razorback because It Is shaped like a
sunflsh. In hunting a razorback It
Is always shot at sideways, for there
U not a ghost of a show to hit It
otherwise, any more than to shoot at
a split shingle. It can drink milk ont
of a quart Jar on accouut of Its long,
thin head. This type of razorback Is
known as the stone hog because Its
head Is so heavy and its nose so long
that It balances up behind. The owner
of this type of hl>gs usually ties a stone
to Its tall to keep It from overbalanc
ing and breaking Its neck while run
ning. If the stone Is too heavy. It will
pull the skin over Its eyes, and It will
go blind.".
Switzerland a Modern Babel.
Switzerland, with Its mixture of
races and tougues. Is a sort of tuodern
Babel, a tact which cause* much trou
ble in particular to the military au
thorities. At \Vallen8tadt the other
day at the recnjltlug station there was
a guard composed of five men. The
chief was a lleuteuaut who spoke Ger
man only, the sec, uul a sergeant who
spoke Italian only, the third a cor
poral who could speak French cud
Spanish, the fourth a private who could
speak Freucb and tiermau. and the
fifth a private who could speak Freuch
and Italian. When the lieutenant had
to transmit an order to the sergeant
he had to get the last named man
to interpret for blm. When he want
ed to communicate with the corporal
he had to requisition the fourth man,
and so ou, great delay and confusion
being thus occasioned.? I.ondon News.
Shelley as a Boy,
Here Is a glimpse of Shelley offered
by Andrew I.aug: "It seems almost In
credible, but It is true, that I oncc
knew a man who was at Eton with
Shelley, who left lu 1S10. This' was
Mr. Hammond, a senior fellow of Mer
ton college when I was au inquiring
Junior. About 1870 he told me all that
I could extract from him about the
poet. "Shelley was uot a clever boy; he
never was sent up for good.' which
means, I conceive, that he never did
a remarkable exercise in I.atin verse.
Mr. Hammond added that Shelley had
a habit when be was walking alone of
suddenly breaking Into a sprint nt fl
hundred yards pace. That was all."

mW Personal Knowledgi
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forma, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and ^
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component ??
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the ell Informed of the Jj
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known
under the name of ? Syrup of Figs ? and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
! laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of ? Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna ? as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of ? Syrup of Figs ? and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company ? California Fig Syrup
Co. ? printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for ? Syrup of Figs
_ ? or by the full name ? Syrup '
Figs and Elixir of Senna.
TO My Patrons:
I will be at my old place of busi
ness until further notice and pre
pared to give receipts to all those
who desire to pay their account.
