1HK L XCKADAISK'AL CITIZEN
Prac'itally every municipality in
tlie I'niled Stat.es finds itself fac
ing a problem of growing import
ance— "hat of handling the lacka
daisical m.ui iu its midst. Have
you ever noticed a certain man
who leisurely saunters dawn the
street with that don't carq attitude
and who respomds to the morn
ing salutation like the whang end
of a tuldlc string which had played
its la^-i sad tuue? That's thfi ciase
of utople who are holding every
community back in which they live
—the Xind that think within them
selves, that it was that way iu
the old Jays and it's good enough
now. Never seeking to grasp the
pro^re-^ive ideas of mam kind and
whining tirouud, kicking and finding
fault ot every movement that
goes on in the community.
We would say thai this class
of people—"awake"—step from
your stupcx and pound things on
the liiad. Your enthusiasm aad
surplus energies are needed iu
helping .'-ur home town. If it's a
good movement do your duty and
boost it along. If fur no other
reason set out of the pensive at
mosphere lor the saka of others as
i; is -afectious and rapidly spreads.
Ou? lackadaisical man can spoil
the most sincere work of ten will
ing .vorKcrs. Of course everything
ia the world is not perfect. Some
time., we have to face Hardships
a ij eaddie trying circumstances—
but tha» is what brings out the
man par: of you and places you up
on your metal.
Ol lS SENTIMENTS
The fussing of the Juneau Steam
ship Company will cause regret to
iha ueo;.!t of Juneau and. elsewhere
in Sou'aeastern Alaska that lias
beeu served by that company. It
m a matter of rogret that the pan
office it . -Ttmeut seems to believe
thm k is not a part of its duty to
take frontier transportation) con
ditions into account, and to aid in'
development by keeping vessels on
a regular tan that would afford fhe
adequate transportation,' ajid
pi'-ssengir accommodation! The
waters of Alaska are not always
navigable bv small boats. In fact,
the Georgia had a run that many
tiiues was too much for a vessel
of her dimensions. It would
hive been mare in keeping with, the
nees of »he situation if the gov
crnment had requried a larger and
more powerful steamer than the
Georgia on the mail routes covered
in the past by that little steamer.
It Is also unfortunate that the
government has terminated a mail
service to the important Berner's
Bay district. This section should
be regularly served with mail. In
ste.ul of stopping the mail service
botweeu Juneau and Skatgway and
way points, the government should
be establishing more mail routes

A Tactless
Wooing
By EDWARD J. STEWART
The evacuation of Vera Cruz had
taken place, and the fleet was ready to
sail. The surgeon In charge of the hos
pital approached the medical director
to report that ail invalids had been re
moved.
"There's a man." said the former,
"who, I think, must have died without
his death getting on to the list He
was dying yesterday afternoon. 1
haven't seen him since and presume
his body was removed. Conover should
have seen to it that the record was
made."
"Well, there's no time now." said the
medical director, "to Investigate the
case. We must go aboard."
So It was that when the ships reach
ed the United States the name of ITor
ace Morton, petty officer, was reported
"Died in hospital."
Now. it happened that the elimina
tion of Horace Morton was very ac
ceptable to Mrs. Martha Joues. thf
mother of Ethel Joues. who had beet;
betrothed to the sailor lefore he de
parted for Vera Cruz. He had nothing
to marry on, while Plilllp Thompson, a
plumber, who also wanted Ethel, had
made considerable funds in Ills busi
ness and was able to take care of her
In good style. Mrs. Jones had set her
face against her daughter's marrying
Morton, and to quiet the old lady Ethel
promised that If her lover hi. t his life
In Mexico she would marry Thompson
After this promise there was pence in
the Jones family. Mrs. Jones hoping
that the mau who she considered stood
in the way of her daughter's welfare
would be snuffed out by u Mexican bul
let _
Kut there was ouiy a sran:i simp at
the landing ut Vera Cruz, am! greatly
to Mrs. Jones' disappointment. Morton
was not amung the killed. Then came
the evacua;!on. anil with it the mother
made preparations to renew the light
in the matter of a son ln-law. But
when she read lu n morning paper that
Morton had died at Vera Cruz she mut
tered silent thanks uud with every ap
pearance of heartfelt sympathy broke
the sad news to her daughter, all the
while laying plans for a wedding with
the plhmber.
Ethel shut herself up In her room for
a week, then ea'me out with a surren
der, telling her mother that since her
lover was dead she cared not whom she
married and was perfectly willing to
take the plumber or any one else. Such
being the case, Mrs. Jones sent Mr
Thompson word that the way was open
for him to win her daughter, but shi*
advised him to be very circumspect
and proceed slowly. She believed thai
Ethel thought she loved another, but
that the girl was deceiving herself. A
few weeks' courtship would do the
business.
Mr. Thompson, who was not an adept
in wooing a woman who had just lost
the man she loved, began by sending
Ethel an Invitation to a plumbers' ball
Fortunately, he sent It through Mrs.
Jones, who threw It In the fire with all'

This was u. beginning. and Mrs
Jones hoped that by carefully heading
off the Indelicate attentions of Mr
Thompson to brLag ibe affair to a suc
cessful termination In due time. Why(
she took so much "pains to prevent her
daughter's being ruffled by the plumb
er's want of tact Is not plain, because
Ethel was not in h state o£ mind to
care whom she married. 1'crimps her
motive was looking to the future. It is
also a question as to why Mr. Thomp
son was anxious to marry a girl whose
heart was in the grave. Tie explained
this to Mrs. Jones by saying that a live
mau was better any day than a dead
one and Ethel was sure to lind it on",
it must bo admitted that there is: moie
wisdom in the explanation than senti
ment In the statement.
All things have an end. and' ti e
plumber's courtship was no esceptlon.
The wedding day came round, and
with it came a coincidence. When the
w-'dding party was assembling in walk
ed Horace Morton, who had failed to
get on the dead list in accordance with
the navy regulations. And there was
no time for an investigation. lie
had walked out of the hospital In deli
rium, and the party responsible for hlsn
bad been looking for him up to the
very moment of !he sailing of the fleet
homeward.
Upon his appearance as a wedding
guest, pale and emaciated, there was a
scattering of those present. The bride
alone seemed to consider him flesh and
blood and. rushing toward him. fell
lito his arms. He had been aware of
Mrs. Jones' opposition to him and her
preference for the plumber; consc
quently he took in the situatlou with
out its being explained to him.
"I reckon." he said, "that since every
thing Is handy for a wedding we may
as well have one."
Mrs. Jones, seeing that she had lost,
threw up the sponge. The plumber re
marked that there were as good fish in
the sea as ever were caught and walkel
away without any evident disappoint
ment. Ethel was presently prevailed
upon to celebrate the wedding with the
?hange of grooms, and when the par
son came in she was married to the
suilor.
This Is not the only case of a man's
being officially dead and turning ui>
ut a time when lie is not expected.
