• Christmas and the Fourth of
July have no tighter grip upon
the affections of the male por
tion of the population of the
United States than that day on
which the annual baseball
season opens, for Americans
assuredly love that form of
sport to a greater degree than
all other forms of athletics.
And while business will be
carried on as usual, probably,
in many places, the opening
of the baseball season will
witness occasional, perhaps
many, mental lapses from the
strict attention normally devot
ed to the accumulation of mon
ey. Between April and Octo
ber, when the race for pennant
honors is closely contested,
there is apparent an almost
patriotic obligation displayed
in making diligent inquiry
concerning each day’s scores.
The men folks are not alone in
this interest, for there are un
counted thousands of girls and
women who are just as much
interested in the race as the
men folks.
To many the duty of keeping
in mind without error the
standing of the teams is one
that may not be neglected.
Some details of work or busi
ness may be temporarily side
tracked.but never that of mem
orizing the standing of the
clubs.
And who is there to say that
American’^ zealous devotion
to this one great national sport
does not make them the better
for it? It provides relax
ation and diversion that makes
existence less hum-drum for
countless thousands and there
in, if in no other manner, per
forms a most useful and bene
ficial service. ;

DOING AS ONE PLEASES
There was a certain man who
was a slave. At 4 o’clock in the
j morning he was awakened by
! his master and told to do the
' chores. He arose with a heart
i full of bitterness and dragged
rebellious feet to the barn5,
where he fed the horses and
milked the cows by the light of
a dingy lantern. Before the
sun came up he was afield with
the plow, turning furrows to
which he gave no thought. His
eyes were dull; his shoulders
drooped; he was sullen and:
brooding. At noon he stopped
to eat; at night he went baek
to the barns when merciful
darkness brought him promise
of rest. Again he milked the
cows and fed the horses, and
when he had satisfied his own
hunger he went morosely to
bed to mutter in his sleep
against t h e tyranny that
chained him to his menial
tasks. .
One day his master died and
was buried and the slave inher
ted the farm, as the law of the
■and piovided. Now he was no
longer a slave, but a citizen.
At 4 o’clock the next morning ■
le was awakened*by the crow-1
ng of cocks. He dressed hur-!
•iedly and started for the barns
.0 feed the horses and milk the
•ows. On the way he stopped
ror a moment to breathe deep- j
ly of the scented air that came
jut of the east; in the barns he
ang among the astonished cat
le. Before the sun came up
ie was plowing and listening
o the birds that sang in the
hedgerows. He rested at noon,
out his labors were not. fin
shed until twilight drove him
nom the fields to milk and
teed. He was tired, but his
heart was light. He ate heart-1
ly;sat in the twilight for a
’pace to enjoy the peace of
he starlit night and went;
rratefully to bed. But before
dumber enfolded him h e
miled in deep content and
murmured softly to himself:
‘It has been a wonderful day!
What a blessed privilege to do
jqst as one pleases!”

A little nonsense now and

Lest we forget, let us call at

It may be rank heresy to say

A young matron was tidying
up a bookcase. Her youthful
son was interested. “Is that j
bookcase an antique, mother?” j
he asked.
“Yes, I suppose it would be
called that,” was the reply. “1
got it the year I was graduated
from school,” she added.
“Oh, then it must be an an
tique,” was her young hope
ful’s decision.
“Jack, dear,” she ventured a
few minutes after she had mur
mured “Yes,” “am I the only
girl—”
The young-man’s arms tight
ened about her. “JiH,” he in
terrupted fiercely, “don’t ask
me whether you are the only
girl I ever loved. You know it
as well as I do.” “That wasn't 1
what I was going to ask you at ,
all, Jack, dear,” she answered.
“I was going to ask you if I was
the only girl who would have
gou.” ;
ALASKA NOTES
Cullfed From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
To build a large sheep ranch,
Charles Moffatt, of Tacoma,
has applied to the Land Office
at Anchorage for 280,00 acres
of grazing land on Unalaska
Island. Moffatt said the enter
prise will eventually call for
the erection ofa large cold stor
age plant to prepare mutton
for marketing in the states.
The finding of a pack belong
ing to Benjamin French, pion
eer packer of the Cordova sec
tion, after he had been missing
for several weeks, is believed
to indicate that he has met dis
aster.IIis dogs and sled are also
missing.
Seven decrees of divorce were
granted in one day by District
Judge Harding during the re
cent term of court at Ketchi
kan. The defendants made no
appearance in six of the cases.
This is apparently a record for
Alaska courts.
' Death came violently to Jack
i Bennet, old-timer of the inter
! ior. He was found in the open
| cellar in his cabin near Nenana
the other day, apparently after
rolling into the opening in the
floor while sleeping on the |
floor. He apparently had been ;
dead several days when found.1
Mrs. Mary Holben, a resident
of Seward for many years and
mother of several children,1
died there recently from gall
stones.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By Rev. H. R. Cross, Pastor.)
In a letter from a twelve year
old school boy to his pastor,j
he question is asked : “Is there
a God?” The reasons given
for asking the question are:
‘Father says he does not know
anything about it, and mother
•aid there is a God but that is
all she can tell me. “Will you
tell me, as I want to know?”
This is a hard question to ans
wer to satisfy a twelve year
old boy but it will be made eas
ier to answer if father and
mother act and teach the boy
that there is a God. Sunday
School and church attendance
will also help the boys and j
girls.
Sunday School 10:30 A. M.
Evening service commences at!
7:15 P. M. with a song fest for |
fifteen minutes. Service lasts
until 8:30. Topic for this Sun

for me?”
A special number will be in- j
eluded in the order of service
in the form of a duet: “What
is Thy Will for Me?”
