Every mo rnber of the house of
r prca ... :\cs iu tho Alaska legis
lature, : ;e exception 'of Char
loj ln^ersoll, voted for the passage
of the wou ieu's suffrage bill. Char
ley refused to vote. Charley Is an
old bachelor aud owner of a dog
named "Betty" and a gasoline boat
uanii >1 "Sulk", uoin are of the
female persuasion and both have
given him more grief thau all other
troubles of his life. Betty recent
ly gave birth to a housefull of
labie* and Ingersoll is using the
ami-suffrage argument that the
1 iaie for *.\omen is at home look
ing after the babiee. If Repres
entative lu^ersoll will only stick to
the balance of his platform promis
es, Alaska will gladly overlook this
? rror of o'uission.
Thomas Martindale of Philadel
!:ia, ucompanted by Dr. M. J.
I.c*.-, . hunting companion and a
guide, spent spent several weeks last
f ill in humiug game and taking
views of the upper Yukon. The
gentlemen spent several days in
Skagway and are lauding the coun
try and praising our people as a re
sult. The Philadelphia Enquirer of
January Mr Martindale has this
t?> say:
That there are giants even iu
these days was the declaration of Mr.
'lhornas Martindale, one of Philadel
phia s best known sportsmen, in a
licture which he gave last evening
iu Witherspoon's hall, the subject
being "My Recent Hunting Trip In
tne Upper Yukon."
The giants of the present day are
the men a. id women of the Yukon
valley, according to the lecturer.
Through the country in which he
hunted iu the vicinity of Bear Lake
there are 100 white men and but
ten of them are married. Eight of
:.<e wives are Indian squaws
What impressed me most," said
'!r Martindale, "was that the peo
ple there were tither giants In sta
ture and strength or giants In nerve
force aud ability to stand hardships.
1 m?t the two white women in the
country and 1 am proud to say that
Philadelphia has one woman who
could compote with either of them
in grit, nerve, strength and ability
to travel and climb. She is Miss
Dora Keen, who last summer scaled
Mt. Blackburn.
"The eight white men who mar
ried ludiau squaws think much of
their wives. I will tell you what on?|
of our guides, Jack Hayden, said
regarding :hem. Hayden has an In
dian wife
" 'Indian squaws are better than
white women for wives,' the guide
declared. 'They are not worried by
fashions, they wear no corsets, nor
rats, nor high heel shoes, nor play
bridge nor five hundred. In other
words they tend to their families
Ii.dian wives arc never sick.' Un
derstand, ladies and gentlemen, I
am quoting my guide, and not stat
ing this myself."
Mr. Martludale told of two white
women in the Yukon, one of whom
is Mrs Sugden, wife of a doctor in
the region, who is away from his
home eight months in the year. Mrs
Sugden has two children and has
not been out of the country for five
years. She has not been to her
home in Minneapolis, Minn., in el
even years. The other woman is
Mrs. Harriet Pullen of Skagway, Al
aska, who went north in 1898, drove
provisions from Skagway to Chilcoot
Pass, a distance of thirty-six miles
a round trip, and subsequently pur
chased a hotel at Skagway. Mrs.
Pullen's eldest son was a protege of
President Koosevelt, and attended
the military academy at West Point,
being a captain of both the foot
ball and base ball teams.
The lecture was illustrated with
lantern slides taken by Dr. Morris
J Lewis who accompanied Mr. Mar
tludale, and one of the guides, who
operated Mr. Martlndale's camera.
I* showed that Mr. Martlndale's
contention, that the country was the
most wonderful in the world in var
iation of scenery, was not amiss.
Good Books
Should Be
In Every
Home
By RUDOLPH BLANKENBliRG,
Mayor of Philadelphia
Good books make good citizens, the man who has
A COLLECTION OF BOOKS IN HIS HOME. NO MATTER
HOW SMALL IT MAY BE IN ACTUAL VOLUME, IS PAV
ING THE WAY FOR HIS CHILDREN TO BECOME USEFUL
MEN AND WOMEN.
If I had rav way no home would be without its quota of books.
And they should be the property of that borne.
I cann t too strongly emphasize the IMPORTANCE OF OWN
ING GOOD BOOKS as well as reading them. There is no feeling
quite so satisfactory as the pride one takes in the possession of one's
own library, even if not large, and it gives to the home a distinctive
atmosphere which could come from no other source.
In the?e days of popular prices and expert production, when well
bound books by the best authors are within reach of ail, there is little
reason for the failure of every home to have books, OWN THESE
BOOKS AND READ THEM.
That is the advice I give to all. As I pointed out in the beginning,
good books MAKE GOOD CITIZENS. That means that you must
first have them and then read them. Just as the newspapers keep
man in touch with the work of the world day by day, so do books
bring him into BROADER TOUCH WITH THE PROGRESS |
THE WORLD is making in art, literature and the sciences.
