FIX THE FLUE, GENTLE READER
lo nothing is prerantion ao distinctly
superior to a cure as In the matter of
fire. To awake with the flames just
jumping in over the traoaom or work
lug up through the cracks In the floor
or sweeping round from the adjoining
building is always attended with heart
0
trouble and financial loss. It is then
too late. The next itaue of the dally
paper may praise the work of the firs
department, sty the bors responded
with great promptness, worked heroic
ally, and that sort of thing; but noth
ing works with the speed and executive
force of a bright red flame? a bright
red Dime that comes stealthily into
being during the quiet of the night, or
In the early hours of the morning that
are so heavy with sleep, or in the busy
afte.-nooa wben the store is hot with
preparations for dinner, because that
little defect in the flue was to have
been looked after TOMOR <OW. To
morrow the flue and its defect may be
lodt in a wide waste of ashes.

Aahes are unsightly thlnes And bare
?o market value. To live la a tent io
their midst with the wind blowing
would be beastly uncomfortable, espe
cially haviojr as companion the
thought, "If 1 bad only fixed the flu?."
Io a tent, with the black aahes filling
the air ona breathe*, the Ire out aod
two miles to go for wood to build an
other wh-reby to keepw?rm aod not
even a photograph remaining of the
comfortable house one lived In, the re
alization cornea that It Is TOO LATE.
Fix the flue today, gentle reader;
have i car* how you leave the fire in
the stove. This shudder at what
might be if you do cot is suggested kv
the winds that howl down the canyon
and that put Into the mind of all alike
the thought, "what joy they would find
in fanning a fire." Fix the flue TO
DAY.
Rising like phoenixes from the ashes,
preparing to rebuild before the ashts
are cold, the undaunted spirit of the
West seen in the smile on the face of
disaster? that's all very pretty after
the fire, but what building is to be done
in Skagway let it addtothetowo we
have rather than replace a town de
<troyed. Beware of fire, gentle reader.
To the Northern Light: If you are
going to rely upon "those feeble folk,
the lexicographers," to keep out of
trouble, at least get all they have to of
fer. It Is a poor reliance at best.
However, suit has not been and will not
be entered at this time, or until you get
a typewriter worth leyying upon.
Ad interesting detail with regard to
the General Stoe?sel matter would be

fame of the American navy for its roy

That the head of the ice trust should
have gooe broke and bee 1 c impelled <o

oour.ging. If the to : trust can't make

THE ROSARY
Ethelbert Nevin
The hours I spent with thee dear heart,
Are as a string of pearls to me,
1 count them over, every one apart;
My rosary, my ros?ry.
Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer,
To still a heart In abse- ce wrung;
I tell each bead unto the ODd,
Aod there a crops Is hung.
Oh memories that b'ess and buri,
Oh barren gain, and bitter !o?s;
I Kiss each b-ad and strive at last,
To learn to kiss the cross
Sweetheart, to kiss the cross.

One thin, pale man in the large bath

"Why," we asked, "are you so sad?"

Our lips curled superciliously.

murmured.
