THE KNOCKER.
The knocker is a most despicable
character and stvmi to be indigenous
to all countries and aectio&g of coun
tries. He exists under ail climatic
conditions. Like bacilli of tubercul
osis knockers are universally pres
ent, but do but litUe harm to the
healthy and strong.
Skagway has two or three 01' these
germs that have failed in all their ef
forts u> accomplish anything of note.
Every attempt to do anything for
themselves individually has been a
complete tailure. The idea that there
may be a chance for the people to do
something by converted action that
will result iu permanent benefit to
the U)*u, is galling to these mic
robes of calamity.
^ou can see these fellows about
town and know them instantly bv the
visual angle vthuh is always directed
toward the po.ut of the nose. They
look dowu iu the mouth, and are al
ways there with gratuitous advice to
klran&< rs w ithiu the place, that no
good can come to Skagway.
It is aiway s the distant pasture
that, looks gum to the knocker and
ho industriously works on schemes to
have his fellow* help him iu the
promotion, of something at a distance.
After repeated failures he comes
back to be cuddled into life again
that he may once more commence his
career, naming and irritatiug those
who are really doing something to
develop the community and its re
sources.
Somebody said that it was good
for a dog to have a certain number
of fleas for it made him forget at
times that he was a dog. Perhaps
the knocker may have some useful
place in the scheme of things but no
community has yet discovered what
it tuay be.
WHAT DAWSON THINKS.
Skagway has aroused considerable
interest in other places by deciding
to build the sampling mill. The Daw
son News recently published the
complete story of the mass meeting
which was printed in the Alaskan a. id
then comments as follows:
"While Dawson has been sparring
and talking for a sampling mill, Fair
banks has erected two, and has them
grinding with great success, and
Stag way now has come to the front
and has held an enthusiastic ma>s
meeting, declaring in favor of a
stamp mill for that town. Fred Heil
ig, editor of the Fairbanks Times,
who passed through Dawson recently
from a visit to the coast, writes to
the News that the thing which im
pressed him on arrival in Fairbanks
was the large number of quartz led
ges being opened, and the success at
tained in grinding out gold. Pokes
were coming to town from the mills.
The Skagway movement was talk
ed of but a few days, and then went
through with a whoop. General Man
ager Dickeson of the White Pass was
one of the enthusiastic boosters."
Don't let a little parasitic microbe
of negation nor a germ of mental
dyspepsia disturb your poise and
confidence ? Skagway is on the min
ing map to stay.

1 1 and Sweetest in the Candy Line
Just Received at BRITT'S
published in this issue of the Alaska^
throws a few sidelights on what hap
pened to the westward by the con
certed action of the Valdei people
and should lend encouragement to
Skagw&y.
From appearances it would seem
that the Arctic Rrotherhood was do
ing things these days. Old Camp
Skagway No. 1, is there, when it
comes to doing the right thing at
the right time.
Some of us lose out been use we are
too lazy to work In.
Onr Idea of nothing to do Is rending
a society novel.
Chastening Ordeal.
Once It was hard the men to tratn?
They would not mind their wives?
And these dear creature*. It la plain.
LJved very wretched lives.
But now the ladles have success
They use another tack
And back up to them with a drew
That buttons up the back.
No use for htm to undertake
To make a getaway.
The Job Is one he cannot ahake.
It greets him every day.
Should he rebel and think to fly
She might unhooked pursue.
And so he puts his feelings by
And does what he must do
Can this be man. the scrapper bold.
The warrior and the knight
Who In the valiant days of old
Did nothing lees than tight.
Who now steps up and takes a bold
Of button and of hook
And does with them as he Is toldT
Next she will make htm cook. (
Of all the schemes that ever were
Designed to humble man
And make him knuckle down to her
This Is the grandest plan.
For when ahe murmurs. "Willie dear."
He cannot fly the track.
He must the deck for action clear
And button up her back.
Necessary.
"I think flattery ts insincere ?and
never necessary."
"What!"
"1 believe what I say."
"Well, you Jort try to lire at our
boardins house and have to meet our
landlady every day If you thick It
Isn't necessary."
