WITHOUT FOUNDATION
In commenting upon the Alaskan
convention that will convene at Seattle
next week the Juneau Transcript says:
"There is not the least doubt in the
world but what the convention will be
absolutely under the control of the Se
attle chamber of commerce, of which
the Nome chamber of commerce and
two or three others in Alaska are only
branches. Who elects the members of
a chamber of commerce?"
No one knows better how witnout
foundation is that declaration than
does the Transcript. The fact is the
Seattle chamber of commerce for years
has been the strongest factor in the
tory camp, the chief organ of which is
the Juneau Transcript. The Tran
script knows that under present condi
tions the Seattle chamber of commerce
has more icfluence in Alaskan matters
?han Alaskans. It knows also that that
influence has been used in diverting the
attention of congress from the cause of
territorial government for Alaska. It
knows, further, that the signs indicate
that the convention which will be held
at Seattle will adopt a strong declara
tion in favor of territorial government.
So far every delegate that has been
chosen except those from Seward and
Valdez has been instructed for self-gov
ernment by mass meetings of the peo
ple. Iiather than being dominated by
the Seattle chamber of commeree the
convention is more like to give that or
ganization a good rap indirectly at
least.
The Seattle Tost-lntelligencer says
the people of Seattle are laboring to se
cure for Alaskans those things which
the people of this district desire. Did
the chamber of commerce there or any
of the influential citizens attempt to
convert Senator Spooner to the support
of self-government for Alaska when he
was there on his recent visit. '
John B. Denny is now editor of the
Juneau Record-Miner. He marks his
advent into Juneau journalism by urg
ing the people of that town to awaken
from their apathy and become active
participants in the affairs of the dis
trict. He asks that the city be repre
sented at the convention that will con
Tene at Seattle. November 15. I

SPOOKS WILL BE
ABROAD TOMIGHI
Tonight is Halloween, the one night
of the year when there is none to dis
pute the right of spooks' and things
that are not of earth to parade the
streets and participate^ an uncanny
way in things earthly. It is also sup
posed to be a time when Kate adopts
many peculiar ways to reveal interest
ing things he has in store for the young
and unmarried of both sexes.
Halloween is more eenerally ob
served in Scotland than in any other
section of the world. The evening is
there celebrated by meetings of young
people when various mystical or play
ful ceremonies are performed with the
view of revealing future husbands or
wives.

Maggy Darr's
Temptation
(Original.)
JMaggy Darr was a nurseglrl lu a
large city. One Jay her mistress told
her that for the sake of economy she
would dlspeuse with her services. The
lady should have helped her to net an
other place, but she was a selfish wom
an and turned her servant away wltb
the few dollars she owed her to shifl
for herself.
Maggy's mother was n widow with
one child besides Maggy, a boy two
years old. it so happened that at tho
time of the girl's discharge her moth
er fell sick, and the money Mngjy
brought home from her mistress was
all the means the family possessed tv
pay rent and the doctor and buy food
and medicines. The cense [uenco was
that It was more than exhausted with
in a few days.
One night Maggy left her sick moth
er and her little brother, who was try
ing for food, and went out with des
peration In her heart. She was walk
ing along the street crying when ih*
was stopped by a rough looking man
with the question:
"Hello, little girl! What's tho whi
ter?"
Maggy gave an account of her con
dltlon and the reasons for It.
"Young woman." said the man, "li
you don't take care o' yourself no on*
won't take care o' you. I'm an escaped
Jailbird myself. Nobody w >u't give 1110
no work, and I've g>t to take what 1
need, whether the law allows or not
Say, I've been watchln' a house around
the corner. There's a windo".' open
Just enough for a girl like you to
crawl through. Besides, you'd step
lighter 'n me. You gj in and g<H some
swag, while 1 watch for cops outsldo.''
But one vision danced l>efo;v Mas
gy's eyes? carrying homo food to stoj.
the ciylng of her little brother. Her
brain was not very capacious, and
there waR no room In it for motv than
one thought at a time. The Immorality
of the means by which >he intended t<
procure the coveteil re-uit was crowd
ed out She went with the man, who
showed her the window and, handing
her a revolver and a dark lantern, told
her to use the former If It would save
her from being caught. Magio" v.-as so
beside herself with her proposed work
that she took both mechanically, no!
knowing what she did. Entering the
house and not finding anything oi
value In the lower rooms, she wojt up
stairs. The door of a bedroom fctox
ajar, and she threw the llglit in:o tit
room. On a bed lay a girl a!>out liei
own age, sleeping. She ? - :i j ^ ft
picture of tranquillity, hu- f ; i e\
presslon of absolute inn ce. Sl.tg
gy's light flashed on a dro itig Ui>l
lighting up Jewels that had bee'i lal<>
aside for the night. Then she turned
the rays again on her wnoir. sue
wns to take these Jewels.
Maggy was no more of a bu-giai
than the sleeper. She was not e^-en
naturally dishonest. A eoineklence
ker meeting with the convict, his point
to* out a way by whleh to gain relief- I
had been too much for her voting pow
ers of resistance. This defenseless In
nocence east as sudden a light into
Magjty's moral nature as her lacti-rn
cast ui?on the sleeper.
Now, beside the bed In whlcS the
girl lay was an electric light button
The sleeper, when Maggy had hashed
the light In her face, partly awakened
and listened, but, hearing nothing was
about to sink to sleep again when site
heard a low sob. Reaching up. she
turned the button, and the room vas
Illuminated.
Ferhaps no one ever saw a more nov
el sight. A girl abcut her own ag? \ias
on her knees In the middle of the floor,
with her hands clasped and her eyes
raised In prayer. On one side of her
on the floor was a lantern, ou the other
a revolver. There was little tiros to
gaze on the picture, for In a momunt
a door without opened and a \o'.ce
said:
"There's somebody In the house."
The awakened girl must have had i>
brain capable of taking in a great deal
on sudden notice. At any rate, she suv
a vision of her visitor marched to Jail,
and at the same time she dt-vised
means to prevent such a result.
"Bring those things and put the: it un
der the bed. Quick!" she said.
Maggy, called to herself by her df?D
ger. obeyed.
"Now get into bed with me."
Maggy had no sooner disappeared un
der the covers than her bedfellow turn
ed the button, and the room was dark
again. A man came to the door with
a candle in one hand and a pistol in the
other, asked the girl If she had seeu or ]
heard anything, went away, prowled ,
for awhile about the house, then went
back to bed. {
In the darkness, covered by the 3ame
bedclothes as her protector, Muggy told
her story. Just before day both girls
arose and stole softly downstairs, and
Maggy, after peeping through a crack
to make sure that her tempter had gone
away, walked out of the front door.
The next day the girl Maggy had in
tended to rob came to visit the Parr
family. She carried many bunllcs,
which gladdenf*! the hearts of all. es
pecially those things that MackT had
told her the Invalid needed. Krotn tliaV
time forward she took them all under
her especial care, and when she entered
the social world and required th? serv
ices of a maid she Installed Maggy In
the position. Iler father never knew
that the object of his daughter's boun
ty, indeed his daughter's maid. ha.d flint
entered the house as a burglar. Th#
daughter's act is not held up as fl
model for other young women. Indeed,
she should have acted only with !h<s
consent of- her father. But In this case
no harm resulted, for Maggy, after *
few years In her service, married t
well to do carpenter.
