SKAGWAY SHOULD 8E
REPRESENTED
As a general thing Alaskans have
uo great love for Seattle, but we. I
should not allow our animosity to con I
f lift with our material interests and I
it is certainly up to Skagway to b>- [
represented at the Alaska-Yukon-Pat ? j
ific exposition which opens iu Seattle j
June 1st.
Visitors from all over the world l
will attend the A-Y-P fair and it be-j
Looves the Alaskan towns to be well
represented by exhibits which will
g'.ve evidences of our resources, cli
mate, the intelligence of our people!
and the material comforts we enjoy. [
An exhibit of this kind can be assem- .
bled at a comparatively small costi
?nd the people of Skagway should not'
neglect the matter.
The Chamber of Commerce is the
business men's association of this
town. So far the Chamber has done
nothing towards representing Skagway
<u the A-Y-P. The question should j
be taken up at ouce, for less than j
two months remains before the open- 1
ing of the fair. So far the only work i
l.as been done by the Women's Aux ,
illary, and they have met with dis
couraging apathy on the part of thost
*ho should be most interested.
Skagway cannot afford to be with- ;
out an exhibit at the A-Y-F. A little
advertising at the fair may have far J
reaching results.

Marion Crawford, the American
novelist who died Friday, was one of ^
the most popular writers of modern
times. His books also maintain a :
high standard of excellence, although .
he was by no weans a great writer. I
It Is told of Crawford that once a:
certain woman asked him If his books
would live after he was dead.
"1 do not care madame," replied
Crawford, "I write that 1 may live, i
The Payue tariff bill has passed

Mark Rosenthal, "the one thousand

never rebated. No. of course uot.
The coat of "white wash" applied
to Judge Silas H. Reld of the Third
judicial division seems to have been
a little bare in spots.

FROM "THE FANCY BALL."
OH. a fancy ball's a strange affair.
Made up of silks and leathers,
Light heads. Unlit heols, false
hearts, false hair.
Pins, paint itnd ostrich feather*:
The dullest duke In all the town
Today may shine a droll one.
And rakes who have not half a crown
Look royal In a whole one.
Begone, dull care: ThU life of our*
Is very dark and chilly.
We'll sleep through all Its serious hours
And lau?h through all Its silly.
Be mine such motley scene as this,
Where by established usance
Miss Gravity Is quite amiss
And Madam Sense a nuisance.
Thus run the Rlddv hours away
Till morning's light Is beaming.
And we must go to dream by day
All we tonight are dreaming.
To amlle and sigh, to love and change.
Oh. In our heart's recesses
We dress In fancies quite as strange
As these our fancy dresses!

THE FEVER.
Get out the cunning garden tools.
The shovel and the hoe.
And pick your neatly labeled seeds.
All guaranteed to ki'ow.
From long neglected garden beds
The rubbish neatly clear
Anil whoop 'or up. 101ly.ii June.
For senile spring Is here.
In yonder sheltered si>ot the lien
Is giving you the hint
And getting reaily to provoke
Words hardly lit to print.
That bird must 111 Us si-arch for grub*
Dig souiew here else Instead
Before you tuck mur garden seeds
Within their little bed.
Get out the tools and go to work
And give your wife a Jar
And let the neighbors notice how |
Superior you are.
Meet their sarcastic gibes with scorn.
Tell them the point they'll see.
When you are picking melons from
The watermelon tree.
When you are harvesting In |H>ace
Your canned tomato crop
While they are purchasing their ;:.>o?i
From some one's lettuce shop
And you are saving twenty cents
A day on your supplies
They'll gnash their teeth and tear their
hair
And see then who was wise.
As to Friendship.
