MISSTATE ?: THE C&SE
In a foolish attempt to make capital
for its town by running down some of
its neighbors the K.'tchikan Journal
says the chamber of commerce down
there sent letters to all the towns of
southeastern Alaska to ascertain how
much money they would contribute
toward the expensees of Gov. Swine
ford as a delegate to Washington, with
the result that "Wrangell, the first
town, flatly refused, likewise Douglas
and Sitka, while neither Juneau or
Skagway had the courtesy to reply to
the communications addressed lo them. '
The statement is not true, The
Skagway chamber of commerce not on
ly responded to that of Ketchikan, but
a special meeting of the chamber was
held and a subscription list put in cir
culation, and long before the Ketchi
kan Jounnal had been printed notifica
tion hail reached its town that quite a
sum had been raised here for the pur
pose requested a :d that the list was
still open for contributions. The sub
scriptions at Skagway would have been
larger had it not been believed thai
Juneau, which expects so much from
congress and from the other towns of
Alaska, would do its share and make it
unnecessary.
It is now claimed chat the recent rise
io the price of call money io New York
was the result of a deliberate attempt
on the part of the Standard Oil coterie
to break Thomas VV. Lawsoo. The s;c
cess of ths movement was prevented
by the rush of money to New York
from the western cities. Cleveland,
alone, sent $7.000,tX\> to the metropolis
in one day. Buffalo, Cincinnati, Pitts
burg, Indianapolis and other cities
sent great sums east to participate in
the harvest. Kussell 3a ire turned loose
$6,000,000, and before night interest
had dropped from 12o per cent, per
annum to six per cent.
The rewards offered for the arrest
and conviction of the murderer or mur
derers of former Gov, Steunenberg now
amount to SIS, 000. Idaho state offers
$5,000: Shoshone county, *10,000: Can
yon county, $1,000, and the family of
the deceased, $2,000
Brady will have a little longer time
to serve as governor. It will t.ike
the government a while to discover that
he lacks the good taste to resign and
does not mean to let go until kicked
loose. His term of office will terminate
when he shall have been placed on the
toboggan slide.
Those dispatches from Kusssia read
much like a censor had been busy with
them.
It Is not too late yet to add to the
fund for the use of Gov. Swineford at
Washington. The list is at Dement &
Gearhart's store.

Youth vs. Experience
[Original.] I
Mrs. Wardwell sat working on a
centerpiece. A fire of hickory logs
blazed cheerfully on the hearth; the big
lamp on the table gave ample fight.
There was comfort, but there was si
lence. Not even the canary hopped on
his perch. He had been carefully cov
ered and had gone to sleep with his
h<tad under his wing.
Suddeuly the front door was throwD
open, and a young girl came quickly
through the hall and threw herself Into
Mrs. Wardwell's arms. There was a
sob as the young head sank upon the
woman's breast
"Lucy, dear, what Is it? Has Henry
been acting badly?"
"Yes, Aunt Sara; very badly. He
was to have taken me to the theater
tonight. At the last moment he sent
me the tickets, suggesting that I gel
some friend to go with me."
"What reason did he give?"
"None. He said he would explain
when he saw me again."
There was a long pause, during which
the elder woman seemed to be think
|ig. At last she said:
"You know, Lucy, that I proved by
experience that what poets have sung
of from time immemorial as blissful
love Is for many if not all of us pro
ductive of misery. You know some
thing of my past sufferings, but not
all. When I was your age I had a
lover to whom I gave my whole heart.
He Jilted me. Then several years
later I married a man who ran away
with another woman. This was worse
than the first case. In that I found
out the treachery In time. In this I
was bound by the law. Besides, I was
the mother of children."
The lady's voice trembled at the last
sentence, and there was a pause? a
pause expressive of grief.
"And now?" asked the girl.
"And now it is all over. The dear lit
tle things are at rest, where neither a
brutal father nor a harsh world can
harm them. For the first time since I
began to love I am content. If my
hobby is not so absorbing as having
my heartstrings played upon, it is at
least a more reliable interest. When
the doorbell rings I'm not afraid of
some dire message. I sit here six even
ings in seven plying my needle, my
mind occupied with new designs, while
my fingers are employed in executing
those already thought out."
"And you would advise me to give up
love?"
"You know my experience? the expe
rience of many others? and can decide
for yourself."
Again there was silence, during
which the girl was absorbed in
thought. Presently she said:
"Aunt Sara, I shall take advantage
of your experience. I shall never for
give Henry? never, never."
"He may give you a good excuse for
his seeming slight."
"That will make no difference. I am
convinced that love ? at least unless
one's lover Is true and tender? means
misery. What folly for me to Bubject
myself to a lifetime of suffering such
as I have had this evening!"
"You are wise, my little girl? wise
beyond your years. While I would not
advise you, now that you have made
your decision, I heartily approve of it.
You will be saved a life of misery. All
you have to do Is to find some work in
which to Interest yourself. Take up
charity, art, music, anything that you
have a taste for, and you will find it a
shield against that passion which, like
disease, attacks the weakest. Love is a
parasite that feeds upon young, unde
veloped. inexperienced people."
"Oh, Aunt Sara, how fortunate I am
in having the benefit of your experi
ence! I am fully resolved to profit by
It Henry has shown again and again
that he is unworthy of confidence. My
life with him would be a succession of
miseries."
"Do you feel perfectly sure that you
will not change your mind?"
"Perfectly. I am resolved to devote
myself to art. That is my only natural
gift I shall love art in place of loving
a man. It will never fall me."
At this moment there was a ring at
the doorbell, and a servant admitted
the young man who had been the cause
of this conference. He asked If the
young lady was within and when told
that she was stepped into the parlor.
Mrs. Wardwell arose and withdrew to
a back room, where she readily over
heard the conversation between the
lovers.
"I went to your house to keep my en
gagement and was told that you had
come here. It is late, but we shall be
In time for the second act."
"Why didn't you come in the first
place?"
"Well, you see, Mabel Burke is to
have a muslcale and wanted me to
take the place of Howard Wilklns,
who failed her at the last moment."
"Do you think that was treating me
right?"
"Well, no, not exactly, but I thought
you wouldn't mind. Wilklns turned
up after all, so I didn't have to go to
Mabel's. Come, hurry up. We don't
want to miss any more of it."
There were sounds of reproaches,
caresses and finally kisses. Then the
girl appeared before her aunt, tears
and smiles struggling on her young
face.
i "Aunt Sara, I'm going to the theater
after all."
The girl fluttered away. She had
forgotten the sage advice she had re
ceived and was bent only on enjoying
the evening with her lover. As Mrs.
Wardwell took her accustomed seat be
sida the lamp she soliloquized:
"Poor girl. The boy hadn't a decent
?xcus? and probably didn't give the
true reason for a is brutal treatment"
