DIFFERENT VALUES TO THE
SAME DOLLAR.
The only use that money has in
the world Is the satisfaction It can
buy. To be sure the miser finds his
joy in .the mere sheen of the metal
itself ? though the Joy even there is
in the knowledge of what power re
? ides in the glittering stuff. But to
a normal an cultivated mind, money
nivalis nothiug but the living satis
tui tions it can purchase, the stove
.? iid the coal and the larder, the
U??ks, the music, the foreign travel
the relief from anxiety, the desirable
acquaintances that environment
brings and the esteem of these. This
in i he real value of money but not all
motley nin buy it all. For instance
the money that Judge Root got in a
lum.i from the attorney of the Great
Northern could buy the coal and lar
der and the foreign travel ? espe
cially the foreign travel ? but those
other things in the list which he al
ready had iu more than ordinary
degree, since his office carries them
with it. what of them? Ha! ha.
Let's swallow our Adam's apple and
go abroad.
No lau iii Taiiaria, no Judge to ad
minister the law. so the people tak*
lIu- law in their own hands and kill
ami maim to settle their business
troubles iu their own way." says the
Tanana Miner. Speaking of the last
Dome creek killing.
Tuesday's Times says there are
three murder cases upon the docket
of Valdez where Judge Reid Is hold
ing court, and announces that of
course these will occupy some time,"
? continues. "If they occupy plenty
time the next docket of Tanana will
equal that of Valdez as regards mur
der cfcses "

l.?-i it never again be said they
"never resign." Clarence Hobart's
term of office ? his appointment being
for four years ? is up on the -0th of
March next to be sure, but so far as
'iiyboOy knows, he was quite secure
in that office for reappointment in
definitely. So you see they some
times DO resign ? when something
better offers, which is the case, no
doubt. with Mr. Hobart. The people
of in- distri?t with whom his dutl'.s
brought hitn in- eontacT regret his go
in-; and wish him well. Happily his
successor is held in equal esteem.
li-'fort- congress begins its grind it
is going to be economical ? very "eco
nomical. Let us wait until we see
* the returns. The man with the court
house to secure for his constituents
is yet o be heard from ? and the
man who has to provide for the farm
vote the rural delivery and the man
on the sea coast who would have the
harbor fixed for a million or two or
the man who is expected to make a
river out of the creek he lives near.
Let's wait and see.
Mr. Kern is presenting to every
lady who calls at his store a
