PUPPY LOVE IS ALL RIGHT
"Old maids,' children' and 'bachel
ors' 'boys" come In for muoh scoff
ing on the part of real parents, but these
vicarious fathers and mothers often
have truer insight into child nature and
wisec methods for child development
than ths married people who sneer at
them." Says the Cleveland Leader.
$ "It was an unmarried woman, Mar
garet Fiicherlv, a well-known educator
who gave parents a wise tip in a talk
she made in Philadelphia last Sunday.
She approved of "puppy love" and
scored the parents right and left who
made fun of it. Let the young boys and
the young girls have their jolly com
radeship and their innocent romances,
was the burdefl of her song. Let the
mother approve and it will be all above
board. If she jeers at it or seeks '-ocruah
it, the $;irl will walk home from school
with the boy just the same, only the
mother will not know. And she is apt
to sneek out and meet him.
"We wish to join in the chorus cf
Miss Fitcherly's song and give it as
lustily as possible. Comradeship of this
sort is as essential to the evolution of
children as tooth brushes, lessons, good
food and com fot table clothes. W i thout
it they grow up warped and one-sided.
The girl who has had no boy chums is
usually a catty little prig. The boy who
hasn't fallen in and out of love with
little girls before he is a dozen years old
and followed it up with chivalrous de
votion to others is in danger of growiDg
up lacking and boorish.
"When the boys come trooping home
from school with the girls, sit on the
porch in summer or dock in the living
room to play games in which they often
entangle their elders, nothing is to be
feared: much is to be thankful for. It
gives both sexes understanding of hu
man nature and is an excellent training
for the more tender, intimate associa
tion of the years to come. And if one
boy singles out one girl for bis fresh
young affection and is her squire in the
face of the world aud Is proud of it,
there is not a prettiervsight under the
canopy."
THE DESIRE TO BE CLEAN
The spirit of clean-up now working
in Skagway was 'manifest at the city
council meeting last night when the
city fathers were almost deluged with
petitions for street improvements. The
Ladies' Aid society presented resolu
tions pointing out a number of the most
glaring needs in this direction and ask
ed that the street commissioner move

directly for relief. It is a most healthy
sign. The same manifestations aro
seen in many places. Dawson began .1
month ago by appointing a ciean-up day
such aa was asked of the couooii by the
Aid society. Very many newspaper
exchanges Bring stories of the same
thing being done in the communities
from which they ball. Wherever these
newspapers go they advertise to the
world that " here lives a people who
have an idea other than and above tho
mere making and piling up of dollars.
Visitors do much for a community In
this way by reporting what they see.
Let us make Skagway good to look at.

THE JUNE SMART SET
A novelette with a Southern Califor
nia setting is the main feature of the
June Smart Set. It is entitled "Hors
d'CEuvres" and is written by Austin
Adams, who has contributed many
charming short stories to the magazine.
Anne Warner, the creator of Susan
Clegg, tells a vjry human little story of
an artist who painted only one picture;
she has cslled It, "It Was Sold? That'd
All." "At Sandy Devil Island," by
Charles Warren, is an amusing story of
a President who escaped from the cares
of office for a fishing expedition and the
adventure that befell him. "Carew
Carter's Kndlest Chain," by Morgan
Hastings, is a charming little society
sketch told in the form of letter.'. This
is only a bint at the good things in the
June number. There is a lot of good
verse.
AN OLD SONG
Ay ARTHUR KETCHUM
<
I will give you the sun to wear
And the Seven Stars to arowa your
balr;
And the little new mooo, ao curved and
sweet
Shall be the cushion for your white
feet.
O belter, sang she, than stars to shine, 1
Thy man's rough hand to take in mine!
I'll build you a palace of cedar wood,
You shall house you there as a princess
should ;
I'll bind the season you hold most dear,
And it shall be April all the year.
O better, sang she, the months of the
snow,
And the two chairs set in tbe hearth's
red glow.
There shall be music for your delight.
And laughter by day and a dream by
night.
And pain and sorrow and Care's dark
wings
Shall be forever forgotten things.
O better, sang she, the old unrest
To bring bim back to my waiting
breast.
