EDITORIAL PAGE
On the first page of the Dally J
Alaskan today we are reproducing j
an article from The Daily Empire j
The editor of the Kmplr* wa* once
a resident >f Skagway ? la the early '
day# of which he tpftb. He re
calls the inconsequential and unauh- !
stanttal fever of the rush for gold,
and compares It all with the per
manency of the present, showing
Skagway * here she Is a thousand
time* better off now than then. It
Is true we have not the population
of the old day*, but we have a ^
more prosperous and happier article
because our people are attached to
their homes and are producing the
material things which make up a
considerable portion of life's Joy*.
We believe with the Kmpire. that
the beet thing that can be said of
the good old days is that they are
gone, and thus given place to a
more sett led and productive com
munity Skagway Is at her best
today, and tomorrow she will be
still better

All was going pleasantly at th? din
ner when there came a ring, and a
?errant broncht In a box addressed In
? man'* hand to Louise Merry weather
beartns the trade name of a well
known florist Opening It there lay
? wpply of cut flower*

Mr*. Travem paid no more attention
to the matter than If her danghtar re
ceived flower* every day. The ?<r>od
lady was riving a servant orders con
cerning the 'lossert which was about
to be brought in.
"Mamma." saM Louise, enlivened '
with pleasure and curiosity, "some one

"Well, my dear. yon needn't fear but
the sender will turn up In ttme.

Ionise wa* puirled and could not

one to Mr Merryman. lie took It and

"Excuse roe: 1 appreciate j-onr gift
hnt 1 don't like to accept a (lower sent
hy an adtnlrer The flower* were In
tended for too. not for me,"
There was a touch of bitterness In
hi* tone and Ms manner when he mid
this that smacked of plqne. to t?y
nothing of downright Jealouay. I-oulse
looked serious, and her mother re
proved the bntler. who had brought the
bo* Into the dining room.
"Hereafter. James," she said to him.
"when anything cornea to the house
while we are at dinner yon will leave
It In the hall till we have finished.?
Merryman had come to dine with his
friends, feeling that he should exert
himself to act cordially. After the
flower episode he found it difficult In
the first place. Louise had shown no
feeling at ht? dropping her. and. In the
second. some one was evidently ready
to take his place. After dinner be and
she were left alone by her mother.
After saying little or nothing for aome
rtrrte. with a scowl on his face. Merry
man *>roke forth:
"It's all bosh for you to say yon
don't know from whom those flower*
came. Doubtless the fellow sends
them ao often that It'a not necessary
for him to put In a card. If you're en
gaged you might aa well aay so."
Mr. Merrvman was a gentleman, and
nothing but downright jealousy could
have forced him tnto any auch rude
ness Ionise saw her advantage and
made the most of it. With quiet dig
nlty she asked by what right he made
auch demands upon her. The game
was won Merryman left the honae
