EDITORIAL PAGE
The pansies have gone. likewise
the sweet veas and th? hollyhocks.
Tkfir places have been usurped by
the chilblain and the goowe pimple
Lasi night a frost came out of the
sky and kept coming out until the
therniom- lor went to fourteen above.
But a few hours before we had vain
gloriously boasted of the semi
tropical climate, and then, as If
to bold us up to ridicule and scorn,
old Boreas whiskered the land
scape with hoar-frost and withered
our hot-house boast in its undevelop
ed bloom.
Thus it has always been. When
ever this newspaper has verged on
au untruth, or deviated from pro
bity, or stretched the exact facts,
Htaven seems to step in and bid
us pause So we have resolved,
that hereafter, when there is one
loi.cly pansy left in a protected gar
deu late in the fall, we shall never
again refe.- to It as "a garden of ef
fulgen' loveliness smothering the
air with oderiferous fragrance." It
is not our purpose to again anger
the gods and suffer irost bites aud
congelation of the dura mater.
In a Thanksgiving acknowledg
ment of the things that one should
be thankful for, we heard a gentle
man express gratitude because of
having rid himself of "a bad habit
of unkindn*ss."
Most of us are thankful only for
the material comforts that the year
brings forth; in fact that is the
point usually made prominent in all
Thanksgiving proclamations; yet
here was one man who had sought
the kingdom of heaven first, know
ing full well that all other things
would be added unto It. The man
who has w holly rid himself of the
bad habit ot utikindness, is already
enjoying everything that makes life
worth living When there Is no
more anger In the heart, when envy,
je*lousy, rvsentfulness and bitter
ness have been brushed from our
lives, then joy takes its place. Hap
piness is complete in itself and all
the material things of the world
cannot r.dd one jot or tittle to It.
Happiness is the only Kingdom of
Hemven we shall ever know ? and
truly, the Kingdom of Heaven Is
within ourselves.
Help your town along by boost
ing! Wear a bright and hopeful
face. IV) not be forever roosting
somewhere near the wailing place.
You can't help your town by knock
ing if it's in a backward groove,
but some optimistic talking does a
lot to help things move. In the
mud one town was sticking, evi
dently anchored there, for her peo
ple all were kicking, all are dish
ing up despair. All were groaning
o'er their taxes, shedding teardrops
In a stream, all had hammers, clubs
and axes, ready for each helpful
scheme So the village sat and
rotted till a booster landed there;
soon the trouble's* seat he spotted,
saw the fungus in the air, and he
Jarre* the village croakers, stirred
them up to hump alnog till the
place was full of jokers and the
bree?e was full of song. Citizens
forsook the habit of bewailing this
and that, and the timid business
rabbit rustled like a tiger cat, and
they all turned in kerwhooplng,
singing forth the hamlet's praise,
and the hamlet, lately drooping,
filled its neighbors with a mate
Now this story, true as preaching,
shows what one lone man can do.
if instead of doleful screeching, he
yells "coekadoodedoo!" For you
stimulate your neighbor every time
you give three cheers, and the har
vest of your labors will be repeat
ed in coining years. ? Walt Mason i
A copy of the Yukon Press, pub
lished Jan 1. 1894, la a curiosity
which has been handed the Daily
Alaskan for filing among our arch
ives. It wm originally published at
Fort Adams at the point where Fort
Yukon is t'Ow established, and from
the amouut of religious matter it
contained was doubtless edited by
a missionary The names of Bet
ties. Beaumont, McQuesten and
other noted sourdoughs appear in
its advertising columns. The Press
is no longtr published.
Cleveland's Strwt Car Trantfana.
Cleveland, home of the three cent
street car fare, has added to Its un
usual tariff of rates a transfer scheme
which Is prot>ably unique in the his
tory of the trolley system of the coun
try. Inasmuch ss an additional penny
Is charged for the slip of paper which
enables one to take another car. That
In Itself to t<ecullar enough, but the
most amusing feature is that upon
presentation of the trmnsfer to the new
conductor the passenger receives back
his penny, the company thus acting In
the dual capacity of salesman and pur
chaser.? Exchange.
TougHost Kind of Wood.
The strongest, toughest most dura
ble wood In the world and the kind
best able to resist the dreaded teredo,
which destroys everything but metal
and atone In tropical waters, la the
famous greeheart of British Onlana,
according to the Panama canal engi
neers After comparing it with the
best American timbers and the noted
Iron bark wood from Australia the en
gineers have selected greenheart for
the construction of the mlter ailla In
the great lock gates of the canal. No
less than 140.000 f**t of the wood will
be required

Towels For Wiping Machinery.
The use of waste for wiping machin
ery baa become such a serious source
of expense that efforts are beinf made
in more than one establishment to cut
down this item, with the result that In
one large machine establishment of this
country Turkish towels are now made
use of as a substitute, and the chance
has shown a very considerable econ
omy. Fresh towels are supplied at reg
ular Intervals, and the soiled ones are i
collected and cared for until a suffi
cient number has accumulate to make
it worth while to put them .'Juough a
washing process, by which the oil Is
recovered and made use of a second
time. This recovered oil Is available
for lubricating railroad switches and
similar work.? Kansas City 8tar.
Melbourne's Free Lunch Revolt.
Melbourne, where the "free lunch"
has flourished for many years, is the
scene of a revolt against that popular
Institution. The rebels are not the
free lunchers. but the hotel keepers,
whom custom compels to provide the
gratuitous midday feasts for every
body who buys a six cent glass of beer.
Melbourne restaurants recently raised
the price of tneala, and the conse
quences Is a ralnoua rush to the free
lunch counter lunches In the hotels.
