Tourists Bemoan Our Undone and
Sodden Condition and Mourn
For Our Future
(Stroller’s Weekly)
“Take this orange, my good man,
for your kindness. It will doubtless
prove a treat to you as it is not like
ly you see many oranges in this coun
try,” said a tourist who was in the
city Tuesday evening to a man who
occupies a responsible position in the
Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company
and who had politely answered a num
ber of questions propounded by the
stranger when they two met on the
street. The Juneauite condescending
accepted the orange thanking the don
ner, and told him he would take it
home and put it under glass in order
that the neighbors might see and ad
mire it. And the tourist went away
congratulating himself that he had
diffused sunlight in the hidden recess
es of an otherwise dimly-lighted, un
done and sodden heart.
It would have been unkind to have
informed the stranger that oranges
are as common in Alaska as in Cali
fornia or Florida, and that as much
grape fruit juice is squirted into the
eyes and promiscuously over the table
cloths here as any place on the out
side.
DUTCHESS BECOMES ARDENT
PRIZE FIGHT ENTHUSIAST
LONDON, June 25,—The Dutchess
of Hamilton, mother of the Marquis
of Clydesdale, “the fighting peer,”
has become an enthusiastic fight fan.
Where the Marquis of Clydesdale
boxes there can be found the Dutch
ess of Hamilton in the midst of the
cheering crowds.
“My interest in boxing is due to my
son’s love of it,” said the Dutchess.
“I think boxing is one of the finest
sports because the two parties must
be perfectly willing and equal.
“What a pity we cannot go back to
the old days of the Vikings, when
tribal disputes were settled by fights
between picked men! If we could
only choose one hundred boxers on
each side and let them decide, how
much better that would be'than dread
ful war!
“In my opinion, boxing is the best
thing for the youth of the countiy. It
teaches the taking of hard knocks and
self control.”
