THE CALAMITY HO/VLERS
RAVED \T
With the closing of the season the
Calamity Howlers" again begin to cry
about hard times and lack of patron
age. They have been so busy during the
summer raking in the good cash that
a let up of that very oleasant business
seems to them a great misfortune and
they begin to cry hard times instead O
f
being thankful for the blessings already
received and getting ready for the great
rush of travel that will surely come a
gain the coming year. The higher ups
in transportation circles have given out
that we will have more boats, more pe
ople and consequently more business
next year than ever before. Skagway is
never at a loss for winter diversion and
we should all have the get together spi
rit and work for the common good.
There will be the brand new hockey
grounds, the clubs, bowling, indoor ga
mes of various other kinds, all of which
may be indulged in when work for the
next year seems too laborious and after
a good brisk game, eiher indoor or out,
each will return again to his labors in
a happy frame of mind, and renew his
work with fresh energy.
Do not begin to kneck either the
town Or your own affairs—both are bu
siness suicide and no town can succeed
where the people of that town are say
ing bitter thinge against it or themsel
ves, for the town, village or city is what
the people in it make it. What is a town
a city Or a village? Just what the people
are themselves — no more Or no less. El
very time a person speaks ill of his bu
siness he is kicking his own shins and
he soon gets a chronic sore from it. It
is a cankee that eats into him and his
business and soon his neighbor feels
the effect and he, too, begins to kick.
’’Stroller White once had—or was it
some One else who had "house maids’
knee?” Anyway, Stroller said it. House
maids’ knee is nothing compared to
"scabby shins” either mentally, morally
or physically. Don’t kick. Brace up and
work for the good of the old town and
by so doing you will help the whole
world along.
W hen the icy breath of winter is up
On us we will think of the long gold
en days of summer and get warmth
in the thought. We Once heard a good
man say that he kept all descriptions
of hot countries for his reading in win
ter, that he read a book on the Mar
emma Coast when he was snowbound
and got much good from the hot sands
and sun baked villages of the warmer
climate. A good thought is in the fol
lowing: ’’Dear God, give us grace to
remain silent when it is not necessary
to speak.” Each and all may avail him
self of the privilege to add this to his
daily prayer and welcome, as it is not
copyrighted.—Skagway Alaskan.
