' CUD DF THANK!
THANKS
The editor ol the Whitehorse Stni
— publishes the following truism In hit
“Stroller" column:
If there is n newspaper man living
who does not detest the combination o
I words "Cards of Thanks" the Strollei
! lins never met him. If he lives, he h
Inn exception and Is In n class by him
self.
Some mothus ago the 8trolJer re
j produced from a southern publlcatior
inn article concerning cards of thanks
The substance of the article was sug
j.gestion that, if you live in a neigh
borhood where the people expect to be
~ thanked through the columns of n
newspaper for every act of kindness
performed, you had better move to
some other locality. But only those
: who wish to advertise their charity
care for public thanks. Ninetenths ol
the people do not wish to be publicly
thanked—are bored when they are.
When people do what they consider
is a duty, they do it as a duty and
from kindly motives, not for thanks
through the columns of a newspaper.
Let us suppose a case
The Amalgamated Laughters of
Mary Magdalene of Amazing Grace
church give an entertainment for the
purpose of raising money with which
to purchase car|>et for the nisles of
the church, widow shades for the par
sonnge, a new altar cloth or to have
the seats varnished so that those who
occupy them for the next several
months will have to “pry” themselves
loose at the close of each service.
Now to start with, church entertain
ments for tho purpose of raising
money are mostly skin games. Not
one in a dozen gives anything like
more than half value for money ex
pended. Rise why the object in hold
ing them. Knowing they will be
i-skinued—disappointed if they are not
skinned—everybody attends and
spends money profligately. Then they
go home and try to forget it. They
B5
I know they were skinned hut salve
| their respective consciences by the
I thought that is wn» for a good cause
But they are not allowed to forget It.
The next Issue of their paper, if it. hap
pens to be in a tank town—It does not
happen in cities—not only recalls
recollections of the affair but "rubs it
in" somewhat as follows:
"In behalf of the Amalgamated
Daughters this paper is requested to
thank Bob High for donating fifty
pounds of Ice for their entertainment
last Tuesday night, the X. Y. Z. com
pany for the loan of half dozen chairs,
Colonel B’Gosh for two flags and motto
“Dove Oneanother,” Mary Anne Kehoe
for keeping the parson's kid so his
wife could be present, Mrs. McNoodle
for the loan of three ten cloths, all
who so kindly donated cakes pies,
doughnuts and cheese straws, Mrs.
Benzine for her delicious home-made
candy, the Misses Baker for brown
bread and baked beans, the Alphabeti
cal stores for fruit, Captain Whaler
for mixed candy and hardtack, those
who sang, play, declaimed and read,
Elder Jones for taking tickets at the
door, Deacon McLennan for presiding
as chairman, all those who so liberally
patronized the affair with their pres
ence and liberality and Jimmy the Hat
for helping wash dishes at the of the
affair which netted, the Amalgamated
Daughters are pleased to announce,
the neat sura of $26.15."
The week following usually brings
forth something lnke this: "In thank
ing those who so kindly, generously
and whole-heartedly assisted at their
entertainment two weeks ago the Ain
•'ligated Daughters neglected to men
tion Miss Mehala Jennings who gener
ously loaned them her coffee pot and
two dish towels. The oversight is
greatly regretted and is most cherfully
corrected. Miss Mehala is one of the
best workers connected with Amazing
Grace Church.”
Is ii any wonder the average news
paper man Is a pessimist, a cynic and
a crank? Nine times In every ten he
is asked to the write the “Card of
Thanks,” a list of those to be thanked
being furnished him. He supplies the
necessary “mush" and if someone, as
in the case of Mehala Jennings, is over
looked, he is blamed for being careless.
Or “He did it on purpose—the mean
thing."
Now, in all candor and with a heart
bubbling with gonerosity for the read
ing public, the Stroller implores with
tremor in tils voice and tears in hts
eyes that he be not asked during the
year 1915 to write any “Curds ot
Thanks.” Resolve to cut out “Cards
of Thanks.” Let all other New Years
resolution go but one. Make it and
the Stroller will assist you in keeping
it. If you break it, it wont be his
fault. The Stroller hopes to live u
more exemplary life henceforth, but
he cant do it and write “Cards of
I hanks,” If the Amalgamated
Daughters of Mary Magdelene are in
trouble, they are at liberty to weep out
their sorrows on the Stroller's shoul
der. If they give an entertainment for
the benefit of the church, the Strotrer
will be present even if he has to steal
the price. He hereby resolves to sup
port nny and all skin games that are
pulled off, but if you would not lessen
bis chances for a blessed immortality
boyond the grave, don't please dont,
ask him to jeopardize the intersts of
his immortal soui by writing “Cards
of Thanks.”

Considerable trouble was created at
the Yukon boundary recently by the
order relative to the importation of
animals into the territory, and even
dogs were stopped for a time, but
j later were fallowed to proceed on
strength of an order issued at Ottawa
on application of Dr. Alfred Thomp
son, member for that territory. Tom
Aiken, the well-known mining man ot
Fairbanks and Ulitarod, was one of
the victims of this order, his dogs
being sent back from the Yukon terri
tory simply because they were trans
ported into Yukon front Alaska, which
is owned by the United States, where
foot and mouth diseases exist.
A wire was sent to Ottawa by
Aitken, and a wire from Ottawa to the
authorities at Whitehorse ordered the
dogs released, which order was obeyed
and Aitken left for for Dawson, his
dogs hitched a la Labrador.

STORY OF FLIGHT
OF THAW IN AUTO
Slipped Through Matteawan
Gate Opened by Milkman.
HE WENT FIRST TO CANADA.
Former District Attorney Jerome, Who
Prosecuted Originally Case of Stan
ford White’e Slayer, Sought to Ex
tradite Him From New Hampshire,
and Awaited Supreme Court Decision.
Harry Thaw, who the United States
supreme court dechh-d must he sur
rendered by tin state of New Hump
shire to New York for conspiring in
eonneetlon with Ills sensational escape
from the .Matteawan Asylum For the
Criminal Insane, has lieen absent from
the asylum over a year
Thaw shot Stanford White on June
25. lIHki. and he was commit till to the
Matteawan asylum on Fell. 1. IDOM.
After tiring of his attempts to get free
dom through the courts he ri solved on
the more direct method lie slipped
through the gate of the asylum opened
by the milkman on Aug. 17. 1(113. Two
automobiles provlth-d by former New
York Asm-in lily man Itichaid Butler
were In waiting, one at the gate nud
another high powered car half a mile
away. He zigzagged through New
York anil New Hampshire and was
forced to take a train In Manchester.
N. II.. when his cash ran out He con
tinned Into Canada by train and was
recognized on Aug. 10 by a sheriff from
New Hampshire The sheriff did not
arrest him. however, until the train
had crossed the Canadian line, and this
precipitated the tight iK'tween the New
York and Canadian authorities.
On a faulty complaint, which after
ward bee.. famous because of the
legal tangles it brought on. Th.-tw was
lodged In the Jail of the district of St
Francis at Sherbrooke. Quebec, Can
mla, although no definite charge was
made against him Thaw liked the Jail
and sought to stay there so as to he
safe from the New York authorities.
Thnw's host of Canadian lawyers
searched the Dominion law for a
chance to save him. First they said
he was a tourist, but Th iw Imd no rail
road tlekei. and that plan failed The
Canadian Immigration otflee sought to
deport him as an undesirable, and plans
were made to earry on a (Iglii against
de|xjrtatlon to the Canadian court of
last resort, the king's privy council, as
a violation of treatv rlirhts
Dragged Over Canadian Line.
This was the condition of affairs
when Jerome was soul to Canada lo
help out District Attorney Conger of
Dutchess i t unty, who had followed on
Thaw's trail Thaw was very com
fortahly located in ids refuge cell in
the Sherbrooke Jail when he was ford
bly ejected, the Canadian authorities
holding that he was held on a faulty
commitment. Thaw fought hard to
stay In jail, hut found himself in charge
of the much feared Immigration uu
thorlties. At the very time when half
a dozen legal moves were under way
to save him the Canadian Immigration
officials boldly dragged him over the
Canadian line on an order from the
beard of Inquiry. Thaw was turned
loose nt Norton’s Mills, Vt., without
money. He got ns far as Colebrook.
N. H„ where he was placed under ar
rest on a warrant charging him with
conspiring to escnin? from Mntteawnn
Jerome filed extradition papers with
Governor Felker.
Thaw sued out n writ of hnbens cor
pus. however, on the ground that he
was Illegally detained on the consplr
acy charge. It was argued before
Judge Aldrich of the federal district
court at Littleton, N. U. Judge Al
drich ruled tn favor of Thaw, raising
the question whether New York could
charge an Insane man with a crime
Lived Well In New Hampshire.
Governor Kelker gave Thaw a hear
ing In Concord, and on Nov. 8. 1111.1,
the chief executive decided to honor
the New York requisition. The result of
Jerome's appeal from Judge Aldrich's
decision to the United States supreme
court was still awaited, however, amt
Judge Aldrich appointed a commission
lo determine whether It would lie safe
to release Thaw on ball. This eomints
■Ion brought in a report favorable to
Thaw on Jan. 11, 1914. The report
said that Thaw would not be a public
menace If set free.
Thaw has lived well tn New Unn ;>
shire, but lias been accompanied c I ail
limes by a special officer assigned by
the federal district court. He spent
ibe summer ut Gorham. Iti the White
mountains, and he motored over most
of the mountain secltou. Ills favorite
sport tins been trout fishing.
On Oct. 5 Thaw went to Manches
ter, N. II., and rented a fine home in
the best residential district. He at
tended most of the football games In

several of the churches ou Sundays.
