A big bear has been bothering pe
destrians on the Perseverance road
near Juneau for the past week. Sev
eral people have encountered bruin
In his rambles and the bear had it
all his own way. An employe of the
mines who was coming to Juneau
was held up by the bear for a cuple
of hours before he was able to con
tinue his journey. When he endeav
ored to cross the foad Bruin would
block his way. When he sidetracked
the bear would do likewise. The
game of tag ceased when the bear
became tired of the exercise.
Confidence men at Juneau are said
to have taken over $2000 from a syn
dicate of Japanese residents last
week and departed with the money.
Several kegs, supposedly containing
the finest booze, was the device by
which the 'Japanese were separated
from their money. The kegs were
camouflaged by a small cup of whiskey
which was fastened under the bungs.
The Japs opened the kegs and siphon
ed out the liquor but when the kegs
were later tapped they contained only
water. The swindle was not reported
to the police.

It is a striking fact that men in the same conditions
and environments enthusiastically take wholly different
attitudes on the same subject. Among a number of men
working under the same conditions for the same pay on
the same job you will find some perfectly satisfied and
some wholly dissatisfied. As the outward conditions are
the same to all, there must be something in the men them
selves that makes this difference of attitude. Some men
* are constitutionally obsessed with the feeling that this
old world is headed down hill to the bow-wows, and that
upon them has fallen the task of preventing the almost
inevitable catastrophe. There is another class that know j
this is a good place to live and with all their five senses
are feasting upon the good things and rejecting that
which is bad. It is the former that herd in mobs and
head riots; it is the latter that are the balance wheel of
civilization, and prevent the machinery of organized
society from tearing itself to piecs. The former are the
malcontents, the nomads, the iconoclasts and professional
agitators. The latter are th‘e members of our churches,
the supporters of our schools, the patrons of our arts and
<. the owners of homes. The distinguishing difference be
\ tween these two classes of men is in their ability to select
and appreciate the things that are really worth while
in life. No one ever saw home owners herding in mobs
or heading riots. The man who owns his home enjoys
the ordered scheme of life. He instinctively knows it is
the only scheme that will protect his family and foster
that family influence that produces the type of character
that gets most out of life for the individual and does most
for the other members of society. The man who owns
Ja home or has the home-owning instinct is always a re
sponsible citizen and gets a satisfaction out of living un
known to the man who has no place that he can call his
very own.
I Among men with the same advantages in life with
the same earning capacity and with the same earnings
you will find home ov/ners and men whose names never
appear upon a registry of deeds. Each has spent his
earnings in his own way—the 6ne for the things that
endure for a day—the other for a .home, a place that is
his to have and to hold, a place upon which he can stamp
! his own individuality, a kingdom in which he is undis
puted monarch, a haven for his declining years, and a
monument when lfe is done. Any man who really desires
to, can own a home. It may require saving and sacrifice,
but everything worth'while must be striven for. The fact
that every foot of ground, every board in the walls,
every shingle upon the roof represents a temporary
sacrifice and hard work, only adds to the enjoyment of
his hpme. . .
Buy a home, work and pay for it, enter into a strata
of life you haven’t yet tapped and see how quickly your
foolish fears for the final finish of things will evaporate
and what a satisfaction ther is in being.
