The Fat Editor Industrial Worker.
Deer Sir: — 1 read the thrilling
article relating your terrible exper
ience and the hardships endured
while on your recent “mush
through the wilderness”. You sur
«ly deserve to be presented with a
•‘Noble prize” and an Iron Cross on
the side, for heroically displaying
such cotiragous conduct in ventur
ing outside the City limits without
'.he aid of a guide.
Fortunately indeed, that the
“lone" ptarmigan you encountered
on the slope of Anvil mountain was
not of the “lea:'." construction,
i tl.erwiiC very probably you would
lever have returned to tell the tala.
If you really desire to be in a
physical condition by the lime the
ice goes out to place Erick’s should
ers on the mat, hike regularly tc
the mountain, and don’t peddle sc
much about it. Should yoa evei
contemplate putting in a bid for the
mail contract, permit me to sugg si
that you first oo: suit the Nuggei
siafi and get wised up oil the cor
rect dope pertaining to the mail
mail route etc. etc.
You will have to go some if vot
expect fo beat Scotty's go-devil, 01
his trail record, nevertheless 1 bo
lieve you are qualified to giv
Scotty a handicap and then coaveni
ently beat liivn in a race to th<
“Bar".
You said you would like to bi
’lean” iike your friend liiil an<
still retain your own disposition
Then try this prescription. Hiber
nate in this neck of tlie woods loi
about eighteen years, occasionally
hunt for the elusive paystreak with
out success. Frequently experience
compulsory postponement of chicken
dinners for an indefinate period.
Continue to do these among other
things too numerous to mention,
and I’ll venture to say you'll be
“lean" c-nough all right, finaeially
as well as physically. In the event
you survive the aforesaid prescrip
tion and still retain your present
disposition, you'll be entitled to a
free pass to the place where hero’s
will forevermore eat pie—in the
sky—bye and bye. You’ve been de
signa’eoi the “daring ehechaco”.
Therefore, 1 realize you have not as
yet had the pleasure of enjoying
the fun usually produced at the
midwinter Roof Garden. During
the past ten years the different
committee's have used an abund
ance of flowers and other beautiful
things to decorate the Kagle Hall
for the occasion, but the way you
have recently been conscripting the
bouquets I fail to see where the
committee is going to get off at.
“So have a heart Mr. Chechako”
and lay off that flowery stuff for a
while and give the Roofers an op
portunity to secure flowers enough
I to decorate the Garden.
I presume i ll see you urder the
! “Roof” on the 22nd either in your
j night-shirt, pajames or otherwise.
A SOURDOUGH.
(The Kditor believes that all the
other “sourdoughs" have a health
ier understanding of the Chechako
ier understanding of the Checl ako s
little journeys than the ahov*. lie
; credits them with more into' ligeia e
j than would be necessary io so1 that
Ii<■ was poking fun at hints df)

festival of the year, when rejoicing
and feasting hold sway, sports and
pastimes were indulged in, gifts
and expressions of good will were
exchanged, all strife was suspend

slaves being the equals of their
masters for a few days. Among
the Romans the festival waa known
as among the Brumalia or Satur
nalia. among the Germanic tribes
as Weihnachtsfest, among the Scan
dinavians as Jul. Our modern
Christmas is an adoption of the old
pagan festival.
