THE ^ADRE GETS ROOKED
A few days ago old Dick Lincoln
who came to Alaska first in 1888
and who, besides his duties as
hull cook, is always doing some
thing for someone else, got a jug^
of cheer from town* Someone asked
him the occasion for the gallon
and Dick blandly said it was his
birthday.
Father Sulzman, who is himself '
always doing something for others,
thought it would be nice to give
Dick a party. Fe had a cake baked
and all arrangements made. But
Father hadn’t heard about the jug.
Dick gave the whole gallon away
exeeot for a uint. Then, his
day’s work finished, he drank the
pint and the oarty was off.
So Father Sulzman invited four
of us to join in the lunch the
next day at Sallys. There was
a sly twinkle in Dick’s gray eyes
when he saw the cake. The reason
for it came out under questioning.
It seems Dick’s birthday is the
5th of March. It was a grand din
ner anyway.
