LITTLE LESSONS IN MUM Si
Now, children, In thia lesson ?? will
try to show you bow, tn journalism m
io business and ail affairs of life, it ia
well to exerciao the best discretion wo
bare Id forming frieodsbips, swearing
or renouncing allegiance. These are
Important matters, and when a whole
school joins gleefully in a chorus "are
we sorry ?" becsuse its real friend is
beinfe lambasted from under a foreign
flag, then, Indeed, should you be cer
tain of tbo quality of that friendship,
aid and aaaistance for which you woald
sicriSce so much. Not that you have
sacrificed It, mind you. for in thia case
vou cannot. "Thia Wall-paper"
(wouldn't that cause a panie ia ?
school?) inaiau on being your friend if
only to save you from some others.
The Alaskan aaid thai "some day you
would be sorry, "and now this is tbedv
-Saturday? wbeo ail school children
should be hsppy.
For, see how your friend the Stroller
turns from assaulting the editor of the
Alaskan for "bickering" with you? the
o'.d Stroller, for forty years engaged in
fencing one way or another with the
subtleties of the newspaper trade, ha?
ng been caught napping ? and, merely
to turn the laugh from himaelf, jumps
on you? the Northern Light. This is
what he says io yeaterdav'a Star:
Joking as de, Sam, if you continue to
publish tbose Northern Light extracts,
>ou ahould run exptan?tory foot notes,
otherwise your many Whltehorse read
era will become balled up. Kor ex
ample, in your issue of Monday yon

Isn't this mean? Now are you sorty
or not? Making fun ? f you? mind you,
this ?un who undertook to be your
ohampioo. He don't understand yet?
or pretends not to? that the Northern
Light la your p?per, and the Alaskan
haa no business making any kind of
note* to it. Didn't you tee yesterday
how we allowed your "stuff to run,'' as
we say in the newspsper Business, even
though it oontalns a slur at our new re

one of the most trying things a news

another lesson, we will tell you about
its dangers. Try never to be a new re

HAD MAUD BONNE TO DAKOTA
V
The query naturally arises as to why
Maod Oonne should go to Paris tor her
divorce. The Paris court says that
just because she was married In Ireland
it will take a special act of the legisla
ture to untie the knot. What has the
French court against Irish weddings
particularly ? This Is very puzzling.
When i&rryinR in Ireland, perhaps,
they make a better job of it than else
where. They don't do anything else so
well in that land of love and blarney
that anybody knows about. It is a
pretty safe wager that Maud didn't
know about this peculiarity when she
.waa marrying in Ireland. The ques
ion l?, ia it done la a vicious ?plrit ? as
though they would say, "there! if you
WILL get married.'" We can albo
safely wager that if Maud ever gets out
of this scrape she will get m rrled next
time in Slgnapore, the pUee furthest
away from Ireland now on the map
Bat in the matter of divorce one
would have thought Maud would
have Ojnnc straight to tha
market place ? Dakots. Had she
done so, by this time her name would
h?ve been Maud? to be sure? but the
other half would have Gonne? that \?
to say, went.. Now, children, part?
thai If you caa. This la punning, to bo
sure, but, gnat Scott, U Is modern
anyhow.
Count Okuma, Japanese ambassador
to France, la quoted at declaring on the
streets of Paris that "It lb* United
States goes to war with Japan the
states will meet the aame fate m dli
Russia." It la nlee of th? count to
hare spoken so frankly and in time.
It Is a fate to be avoided.
There bare been many romances of
gold bricks, but that which waa sprung
yesurday as a fact from Omaha, beats
the average fiction. Fact Is, there Is
nothing in fiction that cannot be better
ed a little by fact.
Moral: Read the news ol the day.
SWIRE DE DIJON
Something of dawn
Went to thy making,
Something of night;
Kalry and fann
Watched fo>* thy waking,
Brought thee delight.
Came this fair maiden,
Gathered thee, peerless,
Wore thee a day,
Then, unafraid,
Petulant, careless,
Threw thee away.
When thou didst rest
In sweet possession,
Thrilled by her breath,
Swayed on her breaat,
Did thy dim passion
Warn thee of deaths. ->
Poor, wistful flower,
Doomed by thy splecdor.
Caught in Lore's net.
Thou hadat thy hour-*
Death will be tender.
Lore will forget!
i? Pall Mall Gazette.
It is quite a long time since that story
has been sprung aboat the long lost
brother and sister discorerlng each
other's identltv onlr on the ere of their
proposed wedding. The dear old thing
is as welcome as a friend in need.
The discussion of Irish affairs Id the
