MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED I’RESS
A CREED FOR THE
DISCOURAGED.
I believe that God creat
ed me to enjoy the bless
ings of life, to be useful to
my fellow-beings, and an
honor to my country.
I believe the trials which
beset me today are but the
fiery tests by which my
character is strengthened,
ennobled, and made worthy
to enjoy the higher things
of life, which are in store
for me.
I believe that my soul is
too grand to be crushed by
defeat: I will rise above
it.
I believe that I am the ar
chitect of my own fate;
therefore, I will be master
of circumstances and sur
roundings, not their slave.
I will not yield to discour
agements. I will trample
them under foot and make
them serve as stepping
stones to success. I will con
quer my obstacles and turn
them into opportunities.
My failures of today will
help to guide me on to vic
tory on the morrow. The
morrow will bring new
strength, new hopes, new
opportunities, and new be
ginnings. I will be ready
to meet it with a brave
heart, a calm mind, and an
undaunted spirit.
In all things I will do my
best, and leave the rest to
the Infinite. I will not
waste my time in idle wait
ing; I will not waste my
mental energies in useless
worry. I will learn to dom
inate my restless thoughts
and look on the bright side
of things. —From Various
Sources.

whatever line of endeavor
they are engaged in must
do a lot of thinking. Some
people think in circles, but
successful persons think
scientifically and prepare
for all emergencies and con
tingencies.

are apparently vigorous &
healthy, and some fine phy
sical specimens are to be
seen among them.
In the old days they would
boldly attack the big brown
bears with which the neigh
borhood abounds,with only
spears and lances, and they
would chase down the fleet
footed moose in the deep
snows and spear it with lit
tie effort.
The Indians generally hunt
in couples, and when a big
moose is killed the runner
who has pursued it and dis
patched his victim,does not
wait but goes off for shelter
in a long lope, leaving the
disposition of the carcass to
his companion who has tak
en his time following the
trail. This keeps the sweat
from striking in and the
native from freezing.
Their barbaras or winter
houses are generally a cir
cular mound of earth,grass
grown and littered with all
sorts of household utensils,
a small spiral coil of smoke
arising from the apex, dogs
crouching on it, children
climbing up or rolling down
and stray morsels of food
left from one meal to the
other, and a soft mixture
and offal surrounding it all.
The entrance is a low, ir
regular shaped aperture
through which the inmate
stoops and passes down a
foot or tw'o through a short
low passage onto the earth
en floor inside. The inter
ior generally consists of an
irregular shaped square or
circle 12 or 15 or even 20
feet in diameter, receiving
its only light from without,

Immediately adjoining

HAVE YOU TRIED
COMAX COAL?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. H. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
