OPTIMISTIC O'BRIEN PENS RE
PENTANT POETRY.
In last Wednesday's Issue of the!
Juneau Record appears a poem, "The
House by the Side of the Road." The
verse was ruu without Quotation
marks or without being credited. Are
we to infer that Uloomy Uus has
wooed the poetic muse?
It may e'en be so, for the poem
concludes with this plaintive quatraiu
quite characteristic of Uus:
"Oh. why should 1 sit in the
scorner's seat.
Or hurl the cynic's ban? ?
Let me live in my house by the
side of the road
And be the friend of man."
If Gus is really weary of playing
the Ishmaelite and desirous of human
sympathy and friendship, we will be
the first to offer him the fraternal
hand of fellowship.
True repentance is not to be scof
fed at. We are Joyous that Uloomy
Uus has seen the light. From now
on we will know him as Optimistic
O'Brien.

OBITUARY POETRY.
The mourning widow, clothed in
black, takes up her pen and takes a
whack, at heaping wreaths of rhyme
upon her darling husband, lately gone
"Ftrlends and physicians could not
save my loved John .Henry from the
grave; he curled up when the dawn
was gray, and gave a whoop, and pas
sed away; as he is now, so you must
be; therefore prepare to marry me."
She loved John Henry, and her tear
ot sorrow for him is sincere; but
maybe, from Wis present place, he
looks across the silent space, aud
murmurs to some other wraith: "My
wife Is writing rhyme, in faith! But
I assure all spectres near. It was
my wife that sent me here. With
loving hands she fed me bread nutri
tious as a pig of lead; It was her
kind of lemon pies that sent me scoot
ing to the skies; she always fried a
sirloin steak., and made my heart and
stomach ache; at making Jam. for
weeks she toiled, and made me eat
it when it spoiled; she fed me dough
nuts tough and thick ? you couldn't
break 'em with a pick; and O, the
pancakes that she made! The sad
dler used 'em In his trade. She loved
me while she killed me off, and so
1 didn't gibe or scoff, but took my

passing of the Juneau Transcript. KtW
ltor Ullrich, despite natural handicaps',
was one of tho cleverest and ablest
In Alaska ? though he verged strongly
to radicalism at times. Uut Juneau
could not support three dailies and
the fight resolved itself to a sur
vlval of the strongest.
It is extremely gratifying to know
that the jurisdiction of that "Juneau
grand Jury does not extend into
