TELL US THE NEWS.
News is as necessary to a news
paper as steam Is to a steam engine
In towns of under 2,000 people it
keeps ye editor scratching to fill the
columns. We all like to read the do
ings of our neighbors and most of us,
it must be confessed, have a sneaking
loudness in seeing our own names in
print ? outside the police court annals.
This being the oasa the people should
co-operate with the lacal newspapers
by giving information.
Accidents, comings and goings,
hews from home, births or deaths
among friends, these things consti
tute news. Stop and think next time
before you tell the newspaper mail
that you "don't know a thing." A
person who doesn't know a single
news item during a day must be de
orold of intelligence or else of a sing
ularly retiring disposition.
It pays to call up the editor and
tell him a piece of news. First, last
and all the time the newspaper men
believe in reciprocity. If you furnish
the paper with a piece of news you
are always la position to ask a favor
? and have It granted. Papers endeav
or to treat everyone fairly, but they
are only human .they have their
friends. And the friend of tt? news
paperman U the man who has news.
Tell it to us.
THE LITTLE STAR.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how
1 wonder what you are! Are there
people living there, countless leagues
from anywhere? Have they sorrow
or distress. in your shining wildernes
Or la bitter human woe only found
on earth below? Twinkle, twinkle,
little star! I will bet a good cigar,
that if men are living there they are
pawing at the air, saying taxes are
too high, and they miss their share
of pie; they are chasing 'round in
swarms clamoring for new reforms
thai will place them in a row where
the blooming plum-trees grow. On
your distant golden shores there are
doubtless hosts of bores, who explain,
from sun to sun, how the country
should be run; who are sounding
Warning Notes while they skirmish
'round for votes. There are other
bores who pack bales of figures un
their back, proving that the time is
near when there'll be a bankrupt
sphere. Twinkle, twinkle, little star!
Keep on twinkling where you are!
Twinkle till the votera say that you'ra
throwing light away. ? Walt Mason.
EVEN THE THLINGET JEERS.
While at work in the inner sanc
tum of The Thlinget office not long
since, a good old native friend of
ours entered with a very unhappy
cast of countenance and shaking his
head said. "Too bad. too bad, all
news paper men in Jail, too much
cultus wah-wah, but, (he added as
hia face brightened) you all : right,
you honesL" ? Sitka Thlinget.
A new history of Alaska is on sale.
It la by J. W.Brown of Seattle and
should be read by every Alask&n as
It contains so many facts that no one
aave the author knew before. ? Sitka
Thlinget.
?* '
So when they continued asking him
he lifted, up himself and said unto
them. He that is without sin among
yo?, let him first cast a stone.?

GRAY MEN OF BATTLE.
BLOW a note on tho bugle,
Wako a throb of tho drum.
As down tlio .sprlugiluiu highway*
Tho old, gray soldier* come,
lluglc and drum to thrill them
And quicken the step that lags?
Bugle and drum and old. gray men
And the fold* of tattered (lairs.
Room for the war worn column
That waver* along the street.
Room for the crutch and empty sleevo
And the slow, uncertain feet.
A hush on the shout and clamor
As they pass with faltering tread?
The gray men of the buttles
Who pass to seek their dead.
Room for the men of Antletam.
Where charged their battered lines;
Room for the lions of Malvern Hill
And the eagles of Seven Pines;
Room for. the clanking saber
And tho foot that onco swung free
Through Shenandoah with Sheridan
And with Sherman to tho sea.
Old and bent In tho highways.
Their tattered flues on the breeze.
Never leaped at the Jaws of death
Such lighting men an these.
Never saw flame of rampart
When battle tides ran red
The likes of theso old. gray soldiers
Who seek today their dead.
These are the men of Shlloh
Who pass with footsteps slow.
The steeled brigades that stormed th?
clouds
Of Lookout with "Fighting Joe."
These are the stubborn legions
That on Chlckamauga hung
When the bugles sang of slaughter
And tho old, gray men were young.
Oh, lingering note of the bugle.
Throb of the muffled drum.
As down the springtime highways
The old, gray soldiers come!
Only a few more twilights
On the wavering ranks and thin;
Then night and folded banners
And the sabers guthered In.
?John S. McGoarty.
