ENJOY SUNDAY TRIPS Large Number of Launch Par ties On the Bay and Inlets Yesterday. Nearly overy launch and pleasure boat on the Bay was In service yes terday and between the excursion to Coqullle and the outing parties, the town was almost deserted. The Alert took a large number lown to the lighthouse and the beach. The weatherls said to have been at best there, only a light wind blowing and the surf being warm enough for bathing. The Bonlta took a fair crowd up to Enegren's grove on South Coos River where a picnic was enjoyed. The Bonlta's engines caused some delay lor the party but they had an enjoy able trip, nevertheless. The Traveller took a large number -of excursionists up the river and met with a mishap coming back so that she had to be towed in the last mile or so. Capt. Tom Hall and Engineer Jim Rolandson ran the Liberty up South Coos River yesterday and showed the navigators and skippers on that stream that although they had not .been on a boat together for eighteen years they still knew the game. The occasion was the chartering of the big boat for a Sunday excursion party and as Tom Hall Is one of the few men on the Bay holding papers for so large a boat, he was pressed Into service and proved his ability, gomp doubters said Tom could not turn the craft around in the upper river but ho ran her up to the Maze, opposite which a stream flows Into the Coos and running the nose of the Liberty in there he circled around as easily as an airship. A large pic nic party went up and enjoyed the day. The trip was made without mishap except that in avoiding a rock shoal in the upper river at low tide he had to run so close to the wooded bank that the brush broke a -few windows but that was all." The Rita also took a crowd of ex cursionists down to Charleston Bay VESSELS ARRIVED AT AND SAILED FROM COOS BAY IN JULY 1009 ARRIVED. SCHOONERS. ' " ' SAILED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Jack, a big gray squirrel, who, with his mate, Jill, Inhabited the Island in the duck Inclosure in the Bronx Park, sacri ficed his life to his love of high liv ing. It was this way: Jack and Jill long ago discovered that by crossing over the ten foot wide stream of water whlclj sepa rates the Island from the mainland, they could reach a trough filled with corn, which was replenished daily for the ducks and geese that inhabit the pond and the island. A wire fence dividing the Inclosure used by !the mallard ducks from that enjoy ed by the Canada geese offered a means of communication between the Island and the corn trough, and Jack and Jill long ago became expert in running along the top of this ticklish pathway. Dally the two squirrels have made pilgrimages to the corn trough, eaten to repletion and then returned to the Island. The ducks and geese al ways swam close to the fence, flap ping their wings and uttering hoarse cries of rage, but were never able to catch the nimble squirrels. Little by little, however, Jack lost his na tive agility as he partook of more and more of the rich food, and finally when he started back from a parti cularly heavy feast he waddled slowly along the top of the fence In stead of hopping nimbly along, as has been his wont. One of the mallards saw him and realized that he was too heavy and too well fed to move hurriedly. The duck sounded a 'cry which brought all of Its mates, and they attacked Jack vociously. The squirrel tried to hurry, but' at last was pushed off the fence and fell Into the pond. In an Instant he was surrounded by big Canada geese. Persons on shore saw him fight desperately for life, but finally he was forced under water. The geese churned the pond Into a foam and when they swam majestically away there was nothing to be seen '6i! 'Jffck. Jill, who ran back and forth on the shore of the Island while Jack was fighting for life, retired to a tree after the tragedy and has not been seen since. i :;J&iti$?4Mf&r V. STEAMERS. SAILED.

RUG, BIRD OR II EAST 'J Society's ATery Latest Fad Is Derived From Aboriginal Natives. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 9. "What is your totem?" is the latest question In swaggerdom. If you can't answer off hand the inference Is you have been dead to the world of fashion for at least two weeks. Nowadays, in lieu of the familiar monogram and the banal crest and the erstwhile much coveted coat of anus, society dames and damsels, taking the cue from the aboriginal natives of the country, go out to the fields and, selecting whatever bug or bird or beast that strikes their fancy, promptly pre-empt It as their totem. The pendulum has swung the other way, and society,, with a big S, has elected to become American of. the Americans. If, for Instance, a but terfly 13 chosen as the totem, then milady proceeds to have It embossed on her note paper and flutteringly embroidered on her dainty lace trim med lingeries. Delicately cut out of silver, the emblem Is affixed glltter lngly to her handbag and to her card case, while a whir ofwlngs flashes across the glittering surface of her toilette sliver. Mrs. Perry Belmont's delicately perfumed notes from Paris are sur mounted by a great big buzzing bee of' gold, Its quivering wings poised for flight. Miss Mathldle Town send's totem looks like a giant mos quito. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh have for their totem a bird built on hieroglyphic lines. The bird, which looks much like a young robin with bill tightly closed and neck considerably longer than usual, per ches on the Walsh note paper and also on the Walsh cards of invitation. Sometimes it is in dull blue, some times gray on gray paper, again It comes In glowing gold, and again In gleaming silver. "OASTLEAA'OOD" -at the P. K.
