i "If your Honor pleases, I’d like
! to get off the jury,” said a jury
man to tho judge just as the trial
was to begin.
“You can’t get off now without a
good reason,” said tho judge.
“ I have a good reason.”
j “You must tell it or serve,” said
j the judge.
; "But your honor, I don’t believe
the other fellows would care to
have me serve.”
“Why not? Out with it! We
haven’t all day to fool.”
"Well,— I’ve got— got— I’ve got
J the—” stammered the embarrassed
juryman.
The judge losing all patience,
yelled, "Well, what the devil have
you got?”
"I’ve got the itch!” cried the
poor fellow.
“M|r. Clerk,” said the judge,
“’Scratch that man out'.'’

These few lines acknowledge our!
appreciation, of the pleasure afford
ed us yesterday afternoon, while
reading the December issue of the,
very interesting Booklet called “The
Eskimo.”
It is a credit to Nome, as well as
other parts of Seward Peninsula, and
affords Mr. Shields, the Editor, an
opportunity to demonstrate, in a
small way, his ability as a news
paper man.
Oh, no! There has been no gam
bling goingon? But nevertheless
the “Famous Lid” was officially
re-adjusted last night.
Mr. Ohas. Sandford entertained
the audience at the Dream, with a
very interesting four-minute talk,
last night. His subjectwas in ref
erence to the recently arrived War
stamps, etc. You'll have the plea
sure of hearing him again tonight.

A very interesting letter was
received from William Bloom, who
is at present in Portland, Ore., by
one of the members of Local 240.
Mr. Bloom says that when he ar
rived in his home town, that the
number of soldiers and sailors on
the street,, made his head swim.
He never thought there could be
iso many in the U. S. A.
When he left, for Alaska, about
two years ago, everything seemed
to be moving along slowly blit when
he came home last fall; Oh! what
a change, he hardly knew the burg.
Everything was business.
Wages were higher than ever be
fore in the history of Portland, but
at. that, they are running a very
poor third, with the high cost of
living taking, not only first money
but all other prizes as well.
Sid Kelly had a soft snap, wash
ing dishes, for a time but that was
too easy for Sid; it made him tired,
so after the mate caught hm wrap
ed in the arms of Morpheus, two
or three times, Sid decided to
change his position; so he went
up on deck and proceeded to have
a hot time, (painting the smoke
stack). The passengers were so
crowded on the Umatilla that a
number of the men had to sleep in
the Saloon (just imagine that sotuo
of you Bone Dry guys) and they
were just tv.” week" in the trip
from Nome to Seattle.
Bill is working for his Dad again
and says that jobs are not so plen
tiful, as the outside papers would
have one imagine; there are' quite
a number of men out of work in
Portland at the present time.
He sends regards and best wishes
to all his old friends, all the Long
shoremen and all members of Local
240.
