lieved to be in full accord with fact.
CHRISTMAS WINDOWS
Store window dreasing be
comes an art and attains its
climax in the pre-holiday per
iod. What would the main
street of any village or the
shopping center of the great
cities be without the decorat
ions and illuminations of the
store fronts? The streets with
out store windows seem dull
and dead in contrast. Where
the windows are the throngs
pass and repass, pausing, at-,
traded by the displays, to see
the latest novelty, to admire
the beauty of the exhibit or
the artistic effect produced by 1
the skill and taste of the decor
ator.
Many of the windows, too. are j
simply expressions of the!
beautiful in which merchand- j
ising is eclipsed by the spell of 1
art, but the inspiration thus
provided finds reflection in
countless homes and in mutual
benefits. I
THE PAY ROLL
The payroll and pay-day are
products of our modern indust
rialism. They did not exist
when the human race was di
vided into slaves and masters,'
nor even during the period of
craftsmen, when workmen lab
ored alone in their homes. To
day both are commonplace, al
though among the most promi
nent features of our system of
civilization.
Perhaps it is because it is so (
universal and commonplace
that people never look upon j
the pay roll in its true light as
the actual life blood of the
community. To the home-town ;
merchant pay days are always
good business days, and yet
yet those merchants received
as a great discovery the idea
that every day would be a good
business day in the town or
city whose industries were so
numerous and diversified as to
make every day a pay day.
Payrolls mean not only busi
ness for merchants, but also
they mean taxes with which to
maintain local government
homes, schools, charity, pub
lic improvements and public
contentment. The more payj
rolls the more of these com
munity assets. And finally, ■
and of still greater importanc e, i
pay rolls mean employment j
for the community’s surplus \
labor and attractions which ;
lure necv workers and new
families.
For these reasons progress
ive, growing communities of- i
fer inducements to new indust
ries. Each new mill or factory
means another payroll. The of
fer* include free land, low tax
es, cheap fuel or water, local
capital, and even free use of
buildings for limited periods.
Within certain limits, a grow
ing population is beneficial to
every community and what
benefits the community as a
whole serves each of its com-"
ponent parts.
FOOT-LOOSE AMBITION j
There is no credit in ambition i
-hat has no better destination
than to get on or get honor in]
the world. The obvious re- j
wards of success are sufficient
to account for such vague stir
rings of good intention, and
hese are as common as human
ity. But a genuine ambition is
fortified with some definite
purpose. It is not alone con
cerned to be on its way, but it
also knows where it is going. j
Ambition that has its wagon
hitched to a star can chart its j
couise, count its gains and loss-'
as and need waste little time.
Foot-loose ambition can wan
ier the world over and be back ;
it last where it started
Genuine ambition finds happi- j
ness as its neighbor, since it j
guides a man in the path of
ilain work and constantly
measures his capacity and
courage against a scale of per
ceptible progress, while undis
ciplined ambition keeps comp
any with discontent, since its
hunger is never satisfied with j
the daily bread of small ar-l
accomplishment.
Found ambition may miss its
murk but Will not fail of its re
ward. But the mere shapeless
desire for more and better po
sewions, easier living and un
earned honor is liable to re
main forever unsatisfied. At
bottom it usually is no more
than bad-tempered rebellion
against the success of others.
Just for Fun
No woman is an old maid un
til she admits it to herself.
Our idea of a bad insurance
risk is the inpocent bystander.
Pete Wilson soys there is a
place for everything except a
straw hat in winter.
Men who ask fool questions
should not be particular about
the answers they get.
BEAUTY SHOP—A place that
labors to erase the work done
by character.
To our way of thinking the '•
clothes that make the women
are the ones that shake the i
men.
People will often give three .
cheers for something they!
wouldn’t give anything else
for.
When a man tells a girl his j
wife doesn’t understand him j
its usually a good bet that she
does.
Some men have pretty theo- j
lies about the duty of capital,;
and some have to meet a pay
roll on Saturday night.s
Too often a man thinks that;
“being good to his old mother’’!
mean s taking her side against!
his wife.
And Father Get a Chill
“The ice cream course was \
wedding bills served with in
dividual cakes.—Dallas, Tex.,
as, Journal. j
Frank Reichenback says a;
man’s wife has to hunt his
things for him, but a bachelor
knows his are on the floor,
where he left them.
In this glorious country any
boy can fight his way upward j
to success unless his father,
leaves him too much spending
money.

iety—it’s the spice of life.’’
He: “Then look me over, kid,
my name is Heinz.”
Basket Ball Epitaph
Beneath this slab lies Tom Me- j
Casket:
He tossed the ball in the wrong
basket.” !
The young man was prema
turely gray and proud of it.
“Looks quite poetic, don’t you
think?” he asked the flapper
met at the dance
It does remind me of a certain
poem,” the said.
“ And what is that?”
“When the Frost is on the
Pumpkin.”
Old-fashioned is often merely
a polite term for a has-been.
A local man declare* that pro
fessional musicians are the laz
iest people in the world. He |
claims they are lazy because
they play while they work.
In knocking around the world
we have noticed that some j
young men forge ahead, and |
some learn to make three-ball |
combinations for the side pock- j
et.
Pompous Lady (visiting Par
is) : “Garcong, garcong, don
don- donner- moi—oh, why
don’t you waiters understand
English?”
Waiter: (politely) ‘‘Why
doesn’t madam speak it?”
And there’s the story of the
Scotchman who asked a neigh
bor to help him stage a party:
"We’ll go fifty-fifty,” he said;
“You furnish the food and the
house, and I’ll issue the invitat
ions.”
Made Good
When the report went around
that Rudyard Kipling was get
ting a shilling a word for some
thing he was writing, some Ox
ford students in search of sport
sent him a shilling with the re
quest: “Please send us one of
your words.”
And right back came the ans
wer, “Thanks.”
Quality First
Don’t try to buy a thing too
cheap.
From those with things to
sell;
Because the goods you have to
keep,
And time will surely tell.
The price you pay you’ll soon
forget,
The goods you get will stay;
The price you will not long I
regret— The quality you may. '
ALASKA NOTES
t i '
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
Hunters in the Atlin Lake
country are reported having |
great sport hunting coyotes in !
automobiles. Twenty-five of
the animals were killed in that
manner in one day on Lake At
lin last winter. The animals
will not turn sideways when
running and are easily over
taken by a car, the speed ofi
the animal not exceding 25
miles per hour.
Frank P. Slavin, professional
pugulist of 20 years ago, died
recently in Vancouver -at the

rears in the north and was !
widely known among the old
timers of the Dawson gold rush
days. Slavin met Jem Smith,
the British champion, Peter
Jackson, Jake Kilrain and
3ther famous fighters.
Another well known old-tim
er of the north passed away re
cently when Tim Marcum of
McGrath passed away in Sew
ard. He was found dead in bed,
apparently of old age, al
though he is said to have been

The discovery of a quartz
reef, which is believed to be
the mother lode of the Klon
iike, from which came the mil
ions of dollars in dust and nug
gets during the great gold rush
lays, was reported recently by
O. J. Rogers, comptroller of
the White Pass and Yukon .
Route. He says the reef runs
across the upper reaches of
Bonanza and Eldorado creeks
The Dawson Mining Co. has
uncovered most promising ore
and has traced the reef for a
considerable distance.
