WHY WE SHOULD CELEBRATE.
October ISth. next Monday is ces
sion ilar- It Is the anniversary of the)
lowering of the Russian flag In Alas
ka and the unfurling of the Star*
and Stripes. f\>rty-two years ago
next Monday the autocratic flag of
the czar was jerked from the skies a:
Sitka, aud our own banner of the fre
given to the breeze. There was no
form of civil government here then,
and the administration of affairs was
In the hands of the army. Flor all
the blessings and benefits that have
come to since that eventful day, it
seems a duty on our part to meet to
gether on the anniversary day, or
night, and shake hands and drink a
toast to destiny.
From this wonderful land gold
enough has gone forth to enrich
thousands and build homes and buy
houk buggies for legions. Our furs
warm the myriads of the east and
cur fish line with fat the inside* of
the outside people. Not only do we
send away precious metals but gems
and marble and sea foods. If we get
nothing back for all this, it would
seem proper for the states to cele
brate the anniversary and for us to
consider. But listen, brethren, and
rejoice; for has not our far away
but paternal government given us a
forest reserve? The autocratic Czar
was never so fatherly. Has not the
acquisition of Alaska contributed to
science by adding the knowledge of
hooch to chemistry, a disturbing ele
ment hitherto unknown? It is true
that the autocratic czar had a few
hand grips in here, but they were
summer day shawl straps compared
to the magnitude, variety and pon
derosity of the Hail Columbia carpet
bags which the Great lather in Wash
Ington has so lavishly sent to his
obedient and disfranchised children.
We are about to have a commission,
too; think of that. A commission
sitting four thousand miles away to
tell congress sitting four thousand
miles away what is needed to bring
happiness to a distant land none of
them ever saw.
Let us celebrate the day if for no
other purpose than to read the De
claration of Independence and send
greetings to the liberty loving Filip
inos who enjoy a constitutional form
of government. ? Ketchikan Miner.
THE FOOLKILLER.
He leaned at night on bis basswoojl
club, and weary and worn was be; "t
Just have slaughtered my millionth
dub, with my trusty snickersnee.'
When I was younger and full of vim,
1 followed my task with zest; but
now I'm old and my eyes are dim,
and my body longs for rest. 1
thought, when young, if 1 worked as
hard as a span of army mules, there
would come in season the due reward
? the world would run out of fools.
I've slain the fellow who rode a goat
at a social Jamboree; I got the Aleck
who rocked the boat, and 1 smote1
him three times three. I canned the
chap with the empty gun, the girl
with the coal oil can; the gaudy
bounder who blew his mon,' I butch-:
ered as man to man. No soul can
say mat I've shirked my task, or
loitered an hour away; but the little
rest that I fain would ask, seems
far from my heart today. For the
fools are thick as the blooming flea*
on a bob-tailed yellow pup; and as I
watch 'em my spirits freeze, and my
vitals wither up! The Tariff Bill is
? thing that's done and ought to be
laid away .but the fools still stand
In the blazing sun, and argue it all
the day! ? Walt Mason.
