A CHERRY TREE TOPIC
There are some who believe that the tradition of
George Washington’s unswerving truthfulness is a tra
dition of idealistic utility of copy-book authority. Time
was—and may be yet—when even in the country which
Washington defeated, his own ancestral England, the
champion liar of any gathering of gentlemen was play
fully nicknamed Washington. This reverse-English com
pliment to the First President has something more than
surface value but the principal benefit to be derived from
the Washington tradition of truthfulness, the stern story
of the cherry tree, is the sanction of the old adage that
honesty is the best policy that truth, in the long run, will
out. And perhaps the most practical way of acquiring
the habit of truth telling is for a man to acquire first the
habit of telling the truth about himself, to live in no fool’s
paradise to face facts whatever they are. In this is the
beginning of moral bravery which is the bulwark of truth.
FAUNA COLLECTOR
RETURNS SEWARD,
FROM THE WESTWARD
L. L. EALES, MAN WHO LOST
HOME AT STEFAVAK BAY
PASSENGER ON STARR
. L. Bales, from Bales Landing,
better known as Stefavak Bay, who
last June, almost a year ago, passed
thru Seward en route to his former
home at the point just mentioned, re
turned to Seward Saturday evening
a passenger on the steamer Starr.
Mr. Bales’ story may be recalled by
many of The Gateway readers for last
July this paper published an article
about the veteran trapper, big game
hunter, and author, who was then on
his way to the westward. It was hia
first trip back to the westward in sev
en years and upon his arrival at Stef
avak Bay, he discovered to his dismay
that the fine house, he had left, and
its entire contents, had mysteriously
disappeared. Fortunately, one of the
sheds was still standing and so, prior
to beginning the erection of another
residence, he moved in.
Since leaving the Territory seven
years ago, Mr. Bales had been residing
at Denver, Colo., with his family. Re
ceiving commission to collect speci
mens of Alaska fauna for the Colora
do Museum of Natural History, he
since has spent his time in the west
ward district. Prior to departing for
the States from Alaska, seven years
ago, Mr. Bales had resided to the west
ward for almost a quarter of a cen
tury.
[DUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
nutting you to any action.
