"W-40 OR FIGHT."
That the Arc'ic Brothers wiU meet
'.a c Utoago soon, was the burden of
a ?i spateh published in yesterday's
issue of The Alaskan dated from
1'oritand, the city of the Grand
Camp session far 1911.
tor the past seven years, the
Arctic Brothers in the North have
been fighting for the principal that
all vtork connected with the order,
ftbali be confined within the juris
tic.' on, or Ncrth of "04 -0," with
tiie result tha each year it has
bceu getting farther and farther
away, until now it is proposed to
take it to Chicago.
Too bad that, some of those en
U-t prising brothers didn't thiuk iu
time of taking the order as a
whole to the Coronation. It would
have xuade an interesting exhibit.
The active members of the order,
I: we residing in the North, have
a great deal of respect and consider
ation for their erring brothers on
the outside, but the time will come
when their pa'ence will be exhaust
ed, and they will rise up In their
with and demand recognition of
ttef, rights.
THE LSUAL LUCK.
I shot an arrow into the air, and
Uieu 1 gave t uo further care, but
*pl't some kindliug and fed the
hogs, and threw some bricks at the
ne^hbors dogs, and did my chores
with a joyous mind, and woe and
trouble seemed far behind. That
-'I ght a peeler came to my bed, and
bixkc his bill}* upon uiy head, and
bore me off to a moldly cell, and
??h**e 1 sit on a stool and yell. And
title it's likely that I'll remain; my
made the rudder give mighty Jerks,
a.tv* ruined an aeroplane. It flew
light into an airship's work*, and
km-cked some cogs from the Jingle
Kg, and tore a hole in the thing
u ?y jig. The man who rode on that
ship in stylo was knocked from his
pel oh, and fe1' a mile, and when he
latxied, alack: alas! he broke an
?cr? of greenhouse glass. I'm
charged with arftou and larceny,
and homicide in the steenth degree,
and breach of promise and other
c'rnea, and lawyers badger me for
dimcs. 1 shot an arrow one evil
aay, I let it 0y in my aleck way ,
tfceie was wood to saw, there were
chores begun, there were useful
tasks that 1 should have done, but I
tcokd around like a useless clam; I
shot my arrow, and here 1 am! ? Walt
jiasoa.
