MUSIC FOR TUEI
STEAMER DORA I
I
Folks living to westward who have
been patronizing the Dora for many
years past, whenever they go east or
west, are supporting the mail boat's
crew in a plea for a phonograph.
The following jingle by a passenger
is respectfully dedicated to the offi
cials of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany, whose duty it is to supply the
. musical entertainment for those who
go out to the northern frontier in
ships. Old-timers will appreciate the
^delicate compliments paid to the vet
\ eran mail boat.
You Have to Nose Her First.
They have called her “Dirty Dora."
1 Which lias made ihe captain wild;
i The same remark has tendencies
• To make the public smile.
I But when the gong is sounded, ,
[ And they gather round the board,
! You'll find there’s good nnd plenty i
| For all the hungry hoard.
And you hear the bunch remarking
After all. what's in a name;
> The "Dora's" like a turtle,
I
■ She gets there just the same.
. And when we come aboard her,
We are looking for the worst,
But she's all right when you nose her, t
But you has to nose her first.
When a man first comes aboard her,
And takes a look around, t
A smile is spread upon his face, 1
To see what he has found.
He looks in to the bull-pen. n
(And they all will take a lot!,
And he is sure to make remarks, and c
ask; *
“Is this the best you've go!’"
And when he puts the night in.
He finds it's not so worse; c
She's all right when you nose her.
But you has to nose her first.
And when the winter winds begin I
To make the critter roll,
It's then you murmur something, t
That will jeopardize your soul.
And you say you should know better i
Than to come again on this;
And for all you make upon her.
It is hardly worth the risk.
But when she rounds that point ahead s
You say she's not so worse;
She's all right when you nose her, I
’ But you has to nose her first. <
And when we reach the terminal. I
And turn about for home, <
You’ll find there's many ups and t
downs, 1
■ Before you reach that zone. t
They say the grub is getting short, 1
And we're running out of coal; 1
But when you take a look around 1
There’s plenty in the hold.
And when you see Seal Rock ahead, 1
You are dying with the thirst; 1
She’s all right when you nose her. 1
But you has to nose her first. <
<
The boys aboard the "Dora" '
Are not the usual kind j 1
That sail aboard the most of ships I
That sail before the wind.
And if they could have music,
To soothe their savage breast,
They would go to bed like gentlemen f
And get their much-earned rest. t
They confiscated all their booze, 8
And took away their game. c
So they must have a substitute. C
To keep the people sane. t
Then come on with that phonograph, t
Before we get much older,
And don’t forget the latest song,
“My Boy to Be a Soldier.” I
So let us have the music,
And in some future day
We can think about the “Dora" j v
In her “Hootchy-Kootchy” way. t
Although she’s mighty lonely.
And we’re dying now with thirst;
She’s all right when you nose her, f
But you has to nose her first.

"Billy" Sunday contemplates a visit <
j Alaska, and Juneau has been se- J
>cted as his base of operations, ac- i
ording to the following announce- ,
lent In the Empire:
Come close, children, and big folks
f Juneau and listen. Now. get this,
:'s a secret.
The Bogie man is coming to Juneau,
'es, indeed, and if you don’t watch
ut. he’ll get you.
There, the secret is out.
This bogie man is the celebrated
Billy” Sunday. “Billy,” you know,
j some evangelist, believe us. Well.
Billy" Sunday is coming to Juneau,
nd perhaps he ip on his way now.
Never heard about it before? The (
dea. Somebody must have started It.
•.’o, well just read this and wonder,
’his is clipped from the Washington 1
’lines, of Washington, D. C. Just read
11 about it. Here it is.
With the request for a revival sent
ly Juneau, Alaska, which was re
eived by the evangelist at Syracuse, ,
Billy” Sunday has received petitions r;
or meetings from thfe four points of
he compass. The Far East will have
o be satisfied with the campaign of
our weeks in Honolulu. London will
;et the evangelist for two weeks,
louth American cities have invited
dm, but have received no definite
.nswer.
Four Juneau churches sent lengthy ’
letltions to Sunday with the sugges- y
ion that he could "knock off” a few
veeks of his summer vacation in the
irchards of Oregon. The Juneauites
iffered to charter special trains and,
f necessary, use dog trains to trans
lort the party. The invitation will
irobably be accepted.
