German educators, noting the wide
and itrong int-rest in postal cards, have
taken advantage of the caid-collecting
anu card-distributing craze to help

Th? y have engrafted instruction in Ger

Children buy these cards and ex
change them with their playmates.
They keep increasing collections of the
picture c<rds. and looking over their
treasures is one of their natural joys.
Every card which is instructive and
helps the work of the schools is so
much atdeJ to the educational forces of
the German Empire. Parents^akc only
less interest in the cards than their
children, and the spreading abroad of
useful information goes cn at a rate
which gives great satisfaction to the
men who have discovered this way of
turning a fad to account, for the public
good.
This method of supplementing the
work of the schools ought to work well
in America. In no other country do
children havt so much money to spend,
and in none do fads run a more violent
c >urse. The experiment is surely worth
tryiag. It can't do barm and may
prove vtry useful.

GROSS INCONCINNITY
Tliey unveiled a statue of Marcus A.
Hanna at Cleveland Saturday. The
Hon. William Howard Taft was one of
the ora'ors.
Whether or not it is too earl? or too
late to erect a statue to Mark Hanua,
now when those conservative principles
to whose triumph in 1896 he contribut
ed more than any other man are but a
vanishing and discredited memory,
there was a trross inconcinnity in the
appearance of Mr. Taft at that unveil
ing. He is the heir of the man, early
in* I lon^ distrusted by Mr. Hanna, who
undid Mr. Hanna's wor.; who In the
teetu of his moat solemn vows let
McKioley's politcs be buried in Mc
Kinley's grave.
Think of Brutus or the lean and
hungry Ca^sius sending his majordomo
to Caspar's funeral !? New York Sun.
The New York Sun has evidently
forgotten its Shakespeare. If Mr. Taft
did as effective e'evtionef rii-tr at Marc
Hacna's gr^ve ns Marc Anthony did at
Caper's, he iuconcinnity of his appear
ance there Is nothing compared to that
of the Sun's comparison.

lost this way as early perhaps as those
fortunate enough to get away from
Seattle on the first boat b >uunJ north
by way of BerloK Strait. But those
who take that boat also take ohances
on being locked up by the Ice indefinite
ly as occurred this yeur. So far a9 we
have learned the boat that left Seattle
first is still In the Ice. The irip this
?ay down the river is one of the most
enjoyable in the world and the arrival
at Nome is not as early as most who
take the Ion* ocean trip. This fact
coming to be generally known mean a
large increase in travel this way.

Haines June 9? Saturday iTanlng a
couple of ladles? no names, (.lease?
got the Idea of riding to the ball
ground in a "dog-mobile. "? 3 dog
p.iwer. Well, they did, but tbe trial*
and trloulatlons they met with were
something awful. Tbe dogs wanted to
stop ercry fow minutes to rest, but the
"mobile" part didn't and would keepon
golog, so tbero was always a mix-up of
dogs, harness, "mobile," obaffeur and
cuss words. But by keeping constantly
at it and begging the dogs with tea's
In their eyes, tbey managed to get within
sight of the grouod, before tho whole
thing turned topsy-turvy and dumped
fair oocupants out on the crutl, hard
ground. None of the passengers were
injured to any great extent, but one of
them refund to respond to the call "all
aboard." saying "that she was too
young to die for the benefit of any new
fangled machines."
The A. B's. missed tbe time of their
lives Sunday by not coming down and
having their picnic. The sun was
shining from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. It
would have been one of the finest days
of the season for a ball game. Skag
way should not thiok because tbey are
having rain all day that Haines is In the
same sphere. We are good people bare
and the sun shines here whether It
does auywhere else in Alaska or not.

The soldiers played the natives a
game of ball Sunday and beat them by
a score of 13 to 6. The gamo was a
very slow one on account of the in*
ability of the nxtlves to catch on to the
game.
J. G. Morrison, our popular hotel
proprietor, returned home on the Hum

stay In Juneau.
