THE DAY AFTER
If thcra wis a merrier Curistmas
anywhere on earth than was enter
tained in Skagway, the news of It has
not b en oroagtu to u*. And if reports

There is -neb a thins? as making alle

backed up.

Merry making held the day from rnid

after, with nothing doing In the polios
ilepir ? iv W:th this regard, there
fore. - till bo required where
atte \ - ir.- made to set up a better

A v wo have the day after,

today might invite tbem.
W: h the pa^sioff of Christmas it is

-Editot D*itv Alaskan ? Dear Friend:
Will t&!?e pie. So let me know as soon
as possible whether thee has or in
leads to pub ish my poems, "Love's
Destiny," s-nt th?e Juue 4th, or
"Vl'e^terj Hearts," sent August 3rd.
If so will thee please send the copies
and checks, as I have never received
any, nor nea"d from thee about th- m,
but presume ttiee has or intends to me
them as thee has not returned th- m.
If thee holds thorn longer wi 1 thee
please send tun chicks now and copy as
s?on as published. Bowing thee has
published them an<i that I shall hear
from thee by return mull or very som,
and hoping thee has or will have a joy
ous Christmas, T am, wi-.h,best wishes,
Thine truly,
The above comes to us in this glad
Christmas t<me, covering, in a lady's
small handwriting, half a postal card,
and all the wsv from Moorestown, Bur
lington, Co. X. J. Laying aside the Illus
tration that it offers of th^ wide fame I
of the Dailky Aiatkan as a journal of i
the home, distinguished for its literary !
quality, attention may well be directed
to the confidence and trust displayed in
the matter of the check. The fault
seems to lie in the poetess herself, how
over, for the verses have never come
to hand and no opportunity has been
had to judge of their value in bank
checks or clearing house certificates.
The lady has forgotten to seed the
poems. As for the jo/ous Chrlstmis;
it arrived on time, thanks, and this is
the dav af er.

"LOVE CAN NEVER LOSE ITS OWN"
* * ? ?
O Time and Change!? wi>h hair as Rray
As was my sire's that Winter day,
How strange it seems, with so much
gone
Of l:fo and lovo, to still live on!
Ah, brother! only 1 and thou
Are left of ull that circle now,?
The dear home faces whereupon
That fi ful firelight paled and shone.
Henceforward, listen as we will,
The voices of that hearth at e still;
Loolc where we may the wide earth o'er,
Those lighted fac s smile no more.
We tread the path their f?et have
worn,
We sit beneath their orchard trees.
We hear, litce them, the hum of bees
And rustle of the bluded corn:
We turn the pages h it they read.
Their written words wo linger o'er.
But in the t-un they cast no shade,
No vo'.ce is hoard, no sign is ma le,
No step is on the conscious floor!
Yet Love will drenm, and Faith will
trust
(Since He who kuows our needs is just),
That somehow, somewhere, meet we
must.
Alas for him, who never sees
The stars sbine through his cypres
trees!
Who, hopeless, lays his dend away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful tnarb'eu play!
Who hath not. learned, In hours of faith,
The truth to flesh and s*nse unknown,
That Lite is ever lord of Death,
And Love can never lose Its own!

CAN'T BE SEPERATED
Soma Alaska Peopln Have Learnnd
How to Gat Rid of Both
BacKache and kidney ache arc twin
brother#.
You can't separate them
And you can't get rid of the backache
until you cure the kidney athe.
If the kidneys are well and strong
tho rest of the svstem Is pretty sure to
be in vigorous helth.
Doas's Kidney Pil's make strong,
healthy kidneys.
D. E. Duncan, who resides at the cor
ner of Dnane and Ninth Sts. Astoria,
Ore., says: "I had been troubled with
a weakness of the bHck and loins and a
nnmbuess of the buck, often extending
through the whole muscular system as
far up as the shoulders, Not only did
mv t'ack ache but there was a weakness
fiom the kidney secaetions which was
very annoying and di-turbed my rest.
1 herd ahout Doan's Kidney Pi : 1 -j and
used them. 1 found them to be a rreat
benefit. After the first few doses I felt
better. I Knew of others w he have used
