A POSSIBLE AMBITION TO BE FIT
What induces the turb&aed Hindu to
corue to this country is a puzzle to the
natives: they don't know enough
Enc'ish to be able to indicate a solution
to the mystery. If the round globe
were searched tor samples of the unfit
for assimilation in this northern coun
try, the Hindu would be recognized aa
the prizs at sight. But still they keep
coming. Not only are they feeble
physically but their customs, fixed by
religion, which forbids them to lire,
eat and sleep and have their being
like the people with whom they must
here compete, make.s them an impossi
bility. Therefore the insistence with
which they come only to ordered again
and again to move on? evon at the ex
pease of the state, as was the case with
one carried down on the last trip of the
Princess Mav? becomes more and more
a mystery. They have been repeating
the experiment for years here and show
no signs of having h*d enough in Alas
ka. The interest crows when it is seen
that tbev have invaded the equally rig
orous mining districts of Northern
Idaho only, of course, to be|ordered out.
However, it is only from the strong
that they can learn to be strong. Per
haps this is the explanation? they
really want to know how.
NOT PRESENT" OB ACCOUNTED FOB
The question now is uppermost,
"where were the Washington repre
sentatives and senators while the expo
sltion bill, supposed by them to be lo
the hands of the committee on Indus
trial arts has been for weeks lu the
hands of the Ways and Means commit
tee? Or, If the congressmen knew
about it, where, then, were those
Washington correspondents to whom It
has just "developed" that the bill waa
not in the right place? L-oks like
trouble for somebody. Passed up ut
terly by Ankeny in the senate, that hill
is baviug what might be called aa Alas
kan time of it in congress.
That Fairbanks prediction of yester
day la the Alaskan has alresdy come
true todsy. The Alskan ss a prophet
is nothing less than wonderful. The
thunder has oome out of the clear blue.
George Ade has quit plugging for
Fairbanks for the nomination. He say?
he has no time for politics. The joke
is on the man who plugs for Fairbanks
and no humorist ran see any fun in fig
uring as the but end of a joke.
THE WILL 8F I WOMAN
If a woman will
Don't attempt to chide. "
All your wordy jklll
She will put aside,
She won't be denied;
She'll keep on until
All has been supplied?
If a woman will.
(f a woman will
You to her mv^st bow,
Thus avoid a chill.
Thus prevent a row,
Give it to her cow.
She might take It ill;
Anything allow
If a woman will.
If a woman will
Then she *111 you know.
Swallow down your pill,
If she'll have It so.
Don't you fume or fret;
Smile *nd pay the bill.
What she want* she'll get ?

Lower Sulphur creek, of the Klon

Much ground is being opened for oper
ation next year, and the creek promises
to be busier the coming summer than
last summer. The heaviest workers on
the creek this winter are Davis <5c

largest steam plant erer on the creek
and have sixteen men at work.
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
It might and then again It might not
be that the scarcity of dollars is due to
the scarcity of sense.
There aro people who remind you of
nothing ,so much as of n Christmas
present with the handle broken.
It is sort of saddening to look at
truly dignified people, for the reflection
will come that, no matter how badly
they may want to stick their tongues
out at you, they may not do so.

A man Is over so much more likely
to agree with his wife if her cooking
agrees with him.
If there is one thing more maddening
than another It Is to have some one
agree and sympathize with you when
you are berating your own stupidity.
Oftentimes the motto of the widow
Is, "If at first you don't succeed, try,
try again."

Still, If you had a boll on the back of
your neck all the smiling in the world
wouldn't be able to conceal the fact
It really wouldn't be worth while be
ing lazy If you were not to be exempt
from care and worry.
And the worst of it Is that, while we
all have our troubles, some if us have
yours.
Doubtless most chlldrdn would be
rather fond of their parents if most
parents weren't so insufferably over
bearing that no right minded yonug
American can stand that.
There are people who are so different
that they are just like people wtiom
we delight to avoid.
A virtue with too much coddling may
become a vice with such amazing ra
pidity that we will never know what
hurt us.

A Queer Epitaph.
I may perhaps bo allowed an Inquiry
with regard to a stone said to have
been removed from Epworth church
yard wjthlu tho memory of persons
now living, but when or by whom
nobody can say. It was to tho memory
of one Richard Towris, and it bore
tills Inscription:
Who lies hero? Who do you think?
Richard Towris, nnd ho liked drink.
Drink? Drink, for why?
Because Richard Towris was always dry.
