WRITES ABOUT
SELF FROM THE
PHILIPPINE IS.
Marshal Thomas Gaffney is in re
ceipt of a letter from Ed L Mack, a
former Nome miner and prospector,
dated at Zamboanga, Mindanoa, Fil
ipinas, P. I. January 7 1935 where
he is prospecting the rivers and
creeks for gold but states that he
has had about all he wants of that
country and longs to get far enough
ahead to enable him to get back to
Alaska, which he claims is “God's"
country compared to the Philippin
es. Mr. Mack says in his letter he
had just received two issues of the
Nome Daily Nugget printed since
the fire of September 17th and was
very glad to get them as he had not
learned of the Nome fire because
he had been back in the mountain
regions for several months. He
wishes to be remembered to all of
his old sourdough friends, and says
to tell them to stick to Alaska.
Mr. Mack concludes his letter with
his latest “poem" entitled from "A
to Z" which depicts his roamings
from Nome to the Philippines and
is as follows, being signed by “The
Lone Wolf of the Tundras”:
"From A to Z”
I cast my lot in the P. I.;
Far away from my Arctic home,
And settled in old Zamboanga,
Never more to roam.
But the gods of fate were ’gainst me
III fortune followed apace;
For I was not in my element
And woefully out of place.
I took a fling at “mining”
Seeking the elusive gold,
'Till I’ve grown tired and weary
Disgruntled, weak and old.
I beard the call of the jungle,
I mushed over rugged hills,
Had all the tropics fevers,
And many sudden thrills.
Of pendulous writhing pythons
And cobras defiant and mean,
Myriads of bugs and insects
The likes I’ve never seen.
Waded through swamps in the man
groves,
Cursed the scaley crocodile.
Was tortured by blood sucking
leeches,
O'er many a weary mile.
I have been out with the morns,
Lived with them all alone,
Who wear nothing but a “g" string
And a nipa hut for a home.
Caught in a raging typhoon
When all the world seemed black,

As trees crashed all about me
In wreckage, ruin and wrack.
Forded tumultuous rivers
Scaled “boosycs" in clouds of mi t,
Thru gleaming rainbows of colors
I was ever kist.
Passed by gorgeous orchid;
Saw thousands of butterflies
Whose life span is but of a moment
And on the morrow dies
Beautiful trees long standing
Like sentinels still on guard,
As the tropical sun sifts thru them
In golden shimmering swords.
From Alaska to Zamboanga
I've run the alphabet well
And the net result of my roaming
Is a "one-way ticket to hell."
So to all ye old sourdoughs
I would give you this advice. *
Stray not from your cozy igloos
Stay in “the land of snow and ice."
Tropics isles may look enchanting
And the verdure green and sweet,
'The East is East, and West is West
But never the twain shall meet"
—“The Lone Wolf of the Tundras.

Couple Married
(Submitted by a Society Kditor

publication.)
Mr Robert Chet •. and Miss Al

oday at the home of the bride's
>arents, Mr and Mi P l, Broadkin,

The bride is a skinny little idot

ears old She paints like a Sioux
Indian, sucks cigarettes in secret,
and drinks mean corn liquor when
she is out riding in her dad's car at
night. She can't cook, sew- or keep
house
The house was newly plastered
for the wedding and the exterior
newly painted, which was extreme
ly appropriate, for the groom was
newly plastered, also, and the bride
was newly painted
The groom wore a rented dinner
suit over athletic underwear of im

up by pale green suspenders His
number eight patent leather shoes
matched his state of tightness and
harmonized nicely with the axle

becility
The bride wore some kind of a
white thing that left most of her
legs sticking out at one end and her
upper parts sticking out at the
other The young couple will make
their home with the bride's parents
which means that they will sponge
on the old man until he dies—and
then she will take in washing—The
