PROSPECTOR IS
GOOD BOOSTER
FOR RED CROSS
During the past two years W. D.
McLaughlin, an Alaska prospector dig
from Dawson, in close neighborliness
ging gold on Coal creek, up the coast
with the 65th parallel, has been in the
habit of remembering the Red Cross
every now and then with bags of gold
dust—“little dabs of change,” as he
puts it. For a long time he sent his
contributions direct to Washington, D.
C. , because, as he naively and pic
turesquely confesses, “Hell, I didn’t
know anything about the Northwest
ern division.” But this more local
headquarters once discovered, he be
came its loyal and unswerving friend,
an ally to be depended upon in all
weather. He even withdrew his origi
nal intention of joining the Washing
ton, D. C., chapter, and said the North
western division was just as good. He
writes, April 20, from Coal Creek, via
Eagle, Alaska:
“I wish to acknowledge the receipt
of your favor of March 11. No doubt
I should have sent that bit of dust
there first, but, hell, I did not know
anything about the Northwesteren di
vision. I sent $5 cash to Washington,
D. C., last mail. It should have gone
last August, but did not know it had
not until January last, so sent it my
self. If I had known that Seattle was
headquarters would have sent it there.
“I don’t see anyone’only once a
month in winter, and sometimes it’s
six months in summer. Have sent $5
several times in the past eighteen

reached there. I guess some of it did,
as I have been getting the magazine
for a year, but hereafter will take
anything I have to send in myself
and register the letters.
“Now, in my last letter to Washing
ton containing $5 I told them to make
me a member of Washington, D. C.,
chapter, but Seattle is just the same
in case they forward it there. I know
you will think I am a terrible crank,
but then did you ever see many pros
pectors that were not? But still, you
will generally find them with the heart
in the right place, providing they are
genuine prospectors, and we sure see
some rough sledding at times, which
makes us see the good the Red Cross
is doing. Then, too, it’s on the square
—not a blackball against it all
through the war.
“Am writing this as an apology for
passing you up with those little dabs
of change, but, as I say, I knew noth
ing about there being a headquarters
there.
“Yes, is there any emblem or any
thing to show that I am a member of
the Red Cross? 1 have never received
anything, only the magazines. And
as I belong to several lodges, thought
there might be some emblem o~ some
thing showing membership in the Red
Cross.’’
“We don’t remember ever reading a
finer tribute to the Red Cross than
that paid by Mr. McLaughlin: “Then,
too, it’s on the square—not a black
ball against it all through the war.”
You may be sure that he is going to
get “an emblem or something’’ to show
that he is a member of the Red Cross.

WOULD BE MOLLY-NIX
Eddie Herr of the Salt B&S
signed Vincent Molyneaux to
pitch for his team and in course
of time Molyneaux’s turn came.
The umpire asked Herr for his
battery for the day.
“Tub Spencer will catch,” said
Herr, “and Molly—what’s-his
name will pitch.”
“Molly-who ?” asked the um
pire.
Herr stuttered a bit and
blurted: “Molly-new. No. Mol
ly-no. No, no, it’s Molly-naw.
Oh, I don’t know how to pro
nounce it, or spell It either.
Ask Spencer; he’ll spell it for
you.”
And Spencer, when appealed
to said: “Molly-knocks is the
way I get it. But it will be
Molly-nix if he doesn’t show
me something.”
