NORTHERN LIGHTS
Of all the phenomena of the skies
perhaps there is nothing quite so al
luring or fascinating as the northern
lights as seen from the heavens of a
frosty clime. This fact applies to
Alaska more than any other land,
for the magnificent splendor of these
scintillating streamers seem to be
incorporated in the attributes of the
Northland. Nowr is the time of the
year vrhen these quivering ribbons
of light make their debut on the
star needled plaze of the sky. Out
of oblivion they suddenly dart into
the heavens and then as if they were
indulging in some privileged form of
evening pastime they streak and dash
hither and thither like a squadron of
huge winged searchlights trying to
penetrate the depth of the etherial
blue. What gorgeous colors these
wonderful lights assume. Gowmed in
brilliant shades of red, yellow, blue,
orange, green and purple, they seem
to command the sky and all they
survey. Monarchs of the frosty heav
ens w'hose presence seems to suggest
to the mystified observer a fancy
dance parade on high in which ev
ery little streamer and every member
of the northern light family is play
ing an active part.
Then, again, there is the weird
swish of these giant beacons as they
play their game of crack-the-whip in
the sky. The whole gulf of blue, the
ifrosty night air, the majestic yet
frolicsome pranks of these alluring
films of smoky white hold one en
thralled in rapture, mysterious, pos
sessed, vague. These mighty beacons
have been symbolized as tokens of
the North, powerful weapons in the
hands of One wields an influence
called romance which is textured
with the magnetic fabric of the beau
ties of nature. Who in gazing in
wonderment at the northern lights
does not let his or her imagination
swell the bounds of practical illusion
ment and marvel at the vari-colored
bands of -beauty which revel over
head. The northern lights are one of
the most powerful influences which
impress upon the true northerner
the “lureof Alaska” and which makes
the North teem with a mysterious
romance and thrill which cannot
! be explained.

"THANK YOU”
| How important is politeness? Am-j
^ ericans, who have been accused of
being an impolite people, seem to
have made considerable headway,
morally, socially, spiritually, politic
ally and otherwise. Is that because
impoliteness does not count or is it
in spite of that peccadillo?
“It’s the graceful thing to do; the
j kindjy courteous evidence of gentle
birth and thoughful training. It sets
aside, as worthy of association, the
men and women of culture and taste
because it smooths a few of life’s
rough spots and adds charms to so
cial and business relationships. And
according to European writers and
scores of returned travelers, the
American people are falling far be
hind the people of other lands in
this courtesy.
"The writers assert that many
Americans assume a brusque or su
percilious air and refuse or neglect
to give thanks even when a kindness
has been extended. Cultured Euro
peans indict the United States as
impolite because of impoliteness
shown in the capitals by American
visitors. And so pronounced have
been these charges that steps are
being taken to learn whether justice
ibacks the charge and to better con
ditions if betterment is needed.”
Yet perhaps a “Thank You” league,
which has commendable aims, will
be of vast help. It has been shown
that politeness means cash in the
till. It also mean! a happier, better
and more fraternal nation.

New Manager Meat Market
Likes the Looks of Seward
“I like small towns so when the
opportunity arose to come to Sew
ard from Idaho, to assume charge of
the local Frye-Bruhn meat market,
I accepted,” stated J. R. Broyles, who
a few days ago took over the mar
ket’s management. Previous to com
ing to Sew^ard, Mr. Broyles, long
identified with the butchering busi
ness and with the Frye-Bruhn Com
pany, was in charge of a market at
Boise, Idaho. He is a family man
and he looks forwrard to the time
his family will move to Seward from
their Seattle residence.
