MUSHING IN FROM SKAGWAY
?BROKE"
Why, cert ? I'm a natural rover,
I guess.
By "Wanderlust" cursed, that's
ho joke;
And it's my move today in Life's
game of chess.
So I start for the Koyukuk, broke.
They say that a rolling stone
gathers no moss ?
Truer adage has never been spoke:
But one blessing accrues ? Time
forms the sole loss
When mushing along the trail broke
What if thousands have lost ?
dropped their roll ? or been
cleaned?
Minus visions which went up
in smoke?
Past errors form wisdom which
others have gleaned.
Including the guy who is broke.
When I glanced at the size of my
wad, my heart fell.
As from fancies extatic I woke:
But I counted the coin ? softly
murmured. "Wat t'll?"
"Why I'm still two bucks strong ?
lats! ? Who's broke?"
"Bah! You fool ? (1 adjured my
self) ? "Others lost tin."
"You've got none ? You can't lose ?
let 'em croak."
"What's the difference when you're
already all in?"
"You'll arrive somehow ? even
though broke."
L'ENVOI
Prince ? I'm told that sweet char
ity covers all sins;
That it mantles most crimes with
a cloak.
In that case ? use a little ? for
sometimes he wins.
Who go?-s up against it "dead
broke."
H. W. Dennie. f. ? 2 ? '09.
The newspapers build your town,
why not build up the newspapers?
There is no better advertisement in
the world for a town than a good
newspaper. A newspaper is the bar
ometer of the town's industry. Show
us a good newspaper full of advertis
ing and we will show you a town full
of live, prosperous merchants.
Newspapers are town builders,
town advertisers, fortune makers,
news dtssiminators. sermon deliverers
posperity forecasters ? they are a ne
cessity .not a luxury. Without them
we would retrogress to the mediaeval
days.
Don't patronize them from a char
itable or sentimental standpoint: pa
'.ronize them because they deliver the
goods ? that is ,if they are the right
kind. ? Chicago Trade Journal.
Poor Contributor.
"Doos tbis competitor write in light

"No," said the editor, "only In vain."

Also, carved In your shell, I see

It'll be all over In a minute.
Boy? Yes, but? Gee, think of that
minute!? Puck.

Black were the eyes? as black as Jet?
Of the country maid I knew.
I kissed her. and her lover came.
And mine are Jet black too.

There is certainly an nir of refine
ment and style about the
EATON, CRANE & PIKE
writing papers, but theso are by n
means the only requisites that th<->*j
possess. Theso papers are beauti
f1-1 to look at, agreeable to the touch,
tako the stamp of the monogram die
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, and arc absolutely co
rect as to size and shape.
Wo carry many of the Eaton, I
Crane & Pike writing papers, and can !
recommend them all.
We also recommend other lines of |
our complete stationery stock, such a
blank books, tablets, writing material
a fino assortment of Waterman's and
Parker's Fountain Pens, etc., etc.
