That's a triple hoodo combination
that wi 1 cause trouble to those who
are no: protected by a rabbit's foot.
Count the letters in "Friday the
lath" ? just thirteen of them. This
la a poor day to start anything bad.
If you contemplate playing poker or
getting stowed this day ? forget It.
for you will not be successful. If
you Intended turning a dirty trick ?
postpone it. If you have plauned to
swear, to gossip, to knock a neigh
bor or a busiueas project ? wait. If
you deblre to break any of the teu
commandments, do not start to-day,
for the triple Jonah will frustrate
your cherished ambitions.
Tomor-ow is Flag Day; a day
when the Star Spangled Banner will
l ost to tto breeze from every houso?
top. Tl. ? Stars and Stripes are em
blematic of all that Is best In govern*
m-;:t, though tho government does[
not always live up to Its Ideals.
lu the evolution of this nation the
flag has had to sometimes trail lu
tho dus. .Hid become besmeared with
oljod Hid vloleuce, but like the
fl. me by night and tho cloud of
. - b diiv which led the Chlldre
of Israe', Old Glory has been the in
spiration which has led, and Is lead
ing. uo to greater accomplishments.
Wo have about passed through th
1 erlod of war. Patriotism Is taking
cn a newer and more perfect signifi
cance. Instead of rallying around
the battle scarred banners of the past,
the future will see a united people
glorifying the stainless bunting of
The flag of a nation teaches noth
ing, or worse than nothing, If it but
stands fir wholesale murder. The
hero who carried a red-cross flag In
to the c imps of the lowly, the sick,
the Ignoraut and the vicious and
who heals and Instructs and regeneM
-lis n.. ukind. Is a god In compari
son with the misguided patriot who
rushes irto conflict to kill for pollt
1 .1 reasons or the extension of trade.
The greatest lessons that the flag,
which Is to float so generously to
morrow, can teach us. Is that war I
over. It should be more of a pro
phecy than a remembrance. Eyes
should sparkle with Joy at its promi
ses of perpetual tranquility, instead
cf dimming with tears at the recol
lection of Bunker Hill, Gettysburg,
We cannot detract from the glory
or the heroes who carried it through
the dark days of the revolution and
the still darker days of the civil
war. Wo can say with Lincoln that
they aro "consecrated." With tno
frogress of ages our line of think
ing must develop. Peace Is devel
opment, war Is destruction; and the
soft folds of this gentle bauner which
formerly flourished to the roar of
cannon, will hereafter wave a ben
Falcon Joslin, In glvlug testimony
before the Senate Committee In
Washington a fen- days ago, threw
ftjme light on the remarkable ex
tonsivencas of the gold deposits In
Alaska. UN remarks carr y tho
w->ght cf authority, because of the
f:u't that he has visited the gold re
gions an l has become financially In
terested in many of the railroad
and mining developments of the new
Territory. He said:
"In my judgement the placer min
ing industry in Alaska will last a
thousand years, the area suitable
for placer mining is so enormous.
What we are working there now is
only the gravel that will carry from
$3 to $10 per yard. You cannot
work gravels that carry less than
that. but once we have transporta
tion there, and we can work gravels
su:h as they do in California, which
cany 7c per yard, we have got so
nearly an unlimited area of It that
no one can foresee the end of that
Industry in Alaska. There are 20 o
30 dredges In Seward Penninsula
There Is one dredge at Fairbanks
and another in the Circle City dis
trict. There are eight or ten dred
ges In the Klondike, which is Iden
tically similar country. They oper
ate about 150 days per year. They
usually :vork up until November, be
ginning some time In May. They
are working gravels at Dawson,
which la aa older camp thaa Falr
bi ks, that carry 50c per yard.
And In some cases they are work
ing gravel by dredging as low as 40c
per yard at a prolt In th o Dawson
cojntry. We will eventually, bet
ter, be able to work gravels of that
tenor In .Alaska.
"One great thing Is that nearly the
whole area of Alaska Is gold bearing
There are placers and quartz. It ha.s
bten said, and 1 believe the statis
tics and explorations of the Geologi
cal Surrey show It, that you could
go from th? extreme southeast of Al
aska at Kttchlkan, whero there are
important mines, along this entire
route by way of Haines, clear out
to Nome, a distance of 2,000 miles
In a straight line, and that In every
2o-mlle ?ect!on along that route you
could devtlop gold mines. It Is Infi
nitely greater than any other area
of gold country that has over been
found (n the world. In tho stnto of
California the gold production In the
jpabt 60 years has been about $1.000i
'000,000. The reports of, tho Unltod
States Geological Survey estimate
that this little peninsula, Seward
Peninsula, on which the town of
Nome stands, contains approximate
ly as large an area of placer gravels
as there I* In California. It Is by
no means superior to the area of the
Tuuana placer gravels, and probably
n :? superior to those In tho Idltarod,
nor In the Kuyukuk, nor In the For
tymlle."
I GIVE THEE ETERNITY.
How many paltry, foolish, paint
ed things
That now in coaches trouble
?very street
Shall be forgotten, whom no
poet sings.
Ere they will be wrapped In
their winding sheet.
Where I to thee eternity shall
give
When nothing else remalneth
of these days
And queens hereafter shall be
glad to live?
Upon the alms of thy superflu
ous praise
Virgins and matrons, reading
these my rhymes.
Shall be so much delighted
with my story
That they shall grieve they lived
not In these times
To have teen thee, thy sex's
only glory.
So ibalt thou fly above tho vul
gar throng,
Still to survive In my Immortal
?ong.
?Michael Drayton.
