A FAREWELL A GREETING AND AN
APOLOGY
*nge la the management of tbe
N^Laern Light is announced, and It
beeves fitting for the Alaskan?
whictVis a most polite journal? to say
to the o\i, with which we have had so
many up* and downs, "good wishes and
farewell," and to the new "greeting
? /' -?
with good wishes."
It is a proper time, too ? for tomorrow
it will be forever too lat?? to make ac
knowledgment of an unintended wrong
dons the Light a few days ago. It miy
al?o be made the occasion of one o'
those little lestoos that miy serve the
new management also ? although thl
is nude a little awkward by the line of
polloy marked out br the old manage
ment for the new. If the new manage
ment is to affect superior airs toward
tba Alaskan according to the advice of
the old management, what Is to become
of those superior airs which the Alas
kan has been affecting toward the
Light. If we both are to affect them
there will be a f-ightful clash Well. <
the Alaskan will take a last whack at
ii today, und then give the Light a
ehsnce. Did anybody ever bear of such
magnanimity before?
A few days ago the copy for the Light
?ent to the Alaskan contained this:
Turn victory into failure
Don't let your courage fade:
And if you get a lemon.
Just let the lemon aid.
Tbe fomoosttor, thinking, no douot,
that tbe editor of the Light belonged
?t :ho foot of the class in spoiling,
ch?nged the last word to read "ade,"
thus extracting the juice from the lem
oo. The Aitekan proof reader care
fully changed it back to the original,
and the oOcc devil carefully ever
looked the correction. And so this
long explanation la required over those
three letters if justice is to b? done.
And we shall have justice though the
the heavens fall.
This experience is gone into in detail '
that it may serve to warn the young
student to keep out of the business un
less he has learned to follow the advice
in the little verse to the letter. In
setting up the line the other day?
?'Little Lessons in Journalism"? tbf
compositor made it read "Little Lem
ons in Journalism." This a rather
singular coincidence isn't it, when it is
remembered that, if they seemed like
lemons It was the Alaskan's only pur
pose to have each lemon aid.
To the new management "greeting."
The children ot the public schools
and the ehildrea of the Boys' otub of
the Presbyterian churoh are all of them
suffering for lack of a big ro m where
in to emp!jy that surplus energy and
high spirits that is a part of youth.
They want a place to play basketball.
Baaketball is just now the rage. There
should be ways and means to fill
thU need. They are suffering for it?
that's the rord.
The circulating medium of the coun
try ought to l>e augmented or some
scheme devised to make it circulate
about a million times as rapidly.
When your jollying friends have
?pent some time with you. you can't al
ways distinguish clearly between your
virtues anil your vices.
Many a man poses as an ansel who
exposes as something quite and entire
ly different
As a general thing, every man who
Joins a boosters' club wants the clnb to
do his special brand of boosting or
bust.
OLE OLESON PERPLEXED
Bay Yiroini, Ay'm glad to hear
Yon Yonson's In the race;
A son of Svaden, ruOo aa' dear,
Ay bat he'll via the place.
Ay'd hk to aee he.m mak' a win,
An' at the White House visit;
The Svades will put Yon Yonson in,
But which Yon Yonson is it ?
Ay know Yon Yonson vumping logs,
Yon Yonson milking cows;
Ay know Yon Yonson training dogs,
Yon Yonson making house.
Ay know Yonson, railroad track,
On heem ay mak wan visit.
Of Yonsous ay know wan big pack.
O, which Yon Yonson is it?
In Stockholm, Copenhigen, too,
Are Yonsona bay the score;
Bay Yimioy, Ah tell you true,
In Minnesota more.
Yon Yonsons, coppers on the beat,
Svade servant girls they visit;
So many Yonsons Ay have meet,
O, which Yon Yonson is it?
You bat Yon Yonson gat ma vote,
Av know beem gude an' true;
Yon Yonson deckhand on the boat,
Or capiiog of the crew.
Yon Yonson, milking cows, maybe,
Ay don't care* Ay won't miss it;
It makes no ceef?rence to me,
Woich Yonny Yonson is it.
? Detroh Free Presi.
Unresistible.
If the girl you low Is stubborn
And Inclined to throw you down.
Moots your tokens of affection
With a snicker or a frown.
Buy a largo and gaudy auto.
Drive It round before her door.
Toll her It is at her service.
And she's yours forever more.
There Is nothing that will quickly
Cause Indifference to change
Like tho dizzy, buzzy wagon
When It comes within her range.
Though sho hardly knew the fellow
When he led the walking class.
She Is his now, for she really
Cannot let a good thing pass.
What cares she If It Is paid for
Or If you must slave away
And the struggle with Installments
Makes your thinning hair turn gray?
Though It gouges from your wages
Every pay day so much per.
If she gets enough of riding.
It Is all the tumc to her.
Nowadays you cannot win her
With a savago black mustache.
And she hardly deigns to notice
Though you make a noise like cash.
But come courting in an auto.
And you'll very quickly And
She Is yours without a struggle
With a love that Isn't blind.
