Fruit and Vegetable
Season
FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES is the hardest!
kind of goods to handle in Alaska at a profit and special'
care and knowledge of how to select and pack goods is a
life study. As each year is added to our experience we dis
cover former defects in handling this line of goods and this ,
year we are better prepared than ever before to supply the
northern trade.
All orders intrusted to me will have my personal at
tention. YOURS TRULY,

THE TOMBSTONE CENSOR.
5!e Sew That No Unxcetiily Inscrip
tion Murs the Cemetery.
A tombstone censor is employed by
most large cemeteries. It is the duty i
of this man to see that nothing unseem
ly In the way of n tombstone Is put up.
I A young engineer in n Xorristown
' mill was killed by tlie explosion of a ,
! boiler, and ihe family of this young !
j man. believing that the mill owners i
| had k;u>wn nil along that the boiler
was defet tive, actually Ti::d carved on
the torn! 'lie the sentence, ".Murdered
by his masters." The tombstone cen
>r. of course, refused to sanction such
nil epitaph.
On the death of a certain noted prize )
fighter the surviving brother of the
man wanted to put In a glass case bo- !
side the Brave a championship belt. I
four medals, a pair of glovt s and othe* ;
trophies of tlie rl::g. But the censor' i i
negative was firm.
A widow who believed that the phy- I
'iden was responsible for her bus j
baud's death wished to put on the 1
"
but the loni! t >ne censor showed her \
that such an insc/ption would lay her ;
open to heavy damages for libel.
Atheists sometimes direct in thrir j
wills that shocking blasphemies he
carved on their monuments. The cen- 1
sor. however, sees to it that tlif:- blas
phemies do' not d ??'irnre the cemetery. :
