Ever rout in Sfeagway is Invited toj
Joiu the Horticultural society and i
take a part in the preparations for
the coming fair. Come inside and
be cue o* "the bunch" and boost.
l)ou't stand outside in the raiu
and kick, for unless you present
your ideas to the meetings of the
s cietv, the members will not have
them to consider and act upon. A j
society cannot adopt suggestions
made on the street after its meet- [
ing is over—so if you have anything
good to propose, come to the meet-'
lag next Monday night and give j
your neighbors the benefit of your [
ideas.
Ia former years the affairs of
th j society have been conducted in
the free and easy Alaskan way by
mass meetings with satisfactory
■results In providing a good
fair, and while this year an ef
fort is being made to systematize
the handling of the business and
mak» the organization more con
crete by establishing a membership
roll and a constitution and by
laws, there is no intention to ex
clude anyone. "Come on in, the
water's fine."
NAPOLEON AT THK FRONT
Dundee Advertiser: Prince Victor
Jerr.me Frederic Napoiecn, who has
obtained permission of the Italian
military authorities to go to the
frcnt, is the head of the Napoleon
family. Ordinarily he lives in Brus
sels, having been expelled from
Frau?9 many years ago. He is a
Parisian, however, by birth, and his
sympathies with the allies are
further cemented bv the fact that his
wife is Princess Clemen*ine, daugh
ter of King Leopold of Belgium,
and b's mother is a priucess of the
house of Savoy. It nt-eded but the
enTy of a Napoleon to make the
cast complete.
COL. Si.LICHEN'S IDEAS
CONCERNING ALASKA
1 he following Interview with Col.
John A. Sieicher, proprietor of Les
lie's 'Weeklv and Judge Magazine, is
taken from the Chicago Tribune:
"Alaska is a land of magnificent
distances an-1 every section natural
ly ssoks development before any
other. Tills is all right. Fair com
petition does good, not harm, but
there is room for everybody iu Al
aska and the blightened effect of
sectional Jealousies should not
gain a foothold there.
"Secondly, Alaska should not
only sf-ud out photographs of its
wonderful glaciers, the most re
markable in the world, and its
snow-capped mountains, its dog
sleds and its icebergs. It should
do jvhct the Swiss mountaineers al
ways do, accompany the pictures of
icy peaks with photographs of
green nastures aad lofty timber
and the enormous potatoes, turnips,
and other root crops that flourish
so amazingly in its rich soil.
"Thirdly, 6top the tendency to
muckralcing and trust abusing. What
good hare they done? Is any poor
man richer? Is the cost of living
an7 lower? Has Alaska grown?
"Fourth. Alaska should have
la-ra that will attract and not re
pel the man with money—the man
wno wants to go into business,
jvhether he be a big man or a lit
tle man. Lf the big man cannot
find an investment profitable in Al
aska, then surely the little man
Cannot.
Alaska will learn by experience
It Is learning. It is a territory of |
toilers, with no idlers or tramps.
Providence has blest it yith lues-1
timable natural wealth. The har
vest is getting ready for the hus-1
fcaudman. Let Alaska's iloors be j
open to him and iu another de
vado all will 1)3 transformed.
"My suggestion for the relief
and development of Alaska is a
provision for the appointment of an
assistant or deputy secretary of
the interior to Tcside in Alaska—
seme.n.: thoroughly familiar with its
condititns and requirements, who
sh i.'i have plenary authority to is
su._. mineral and land grants, sub
ject of course to the approval of
the secretary.
"Frcm a scenic standpoint there
is nothing in the world to equal the
Aliskan trip and it is all made
in complet.' comfort. The tourist
travel to Alaska will grow by leaps
and bounds."'
Hats Off to the Flag.
"The greatest tribute I ever saw paid
to the stars and stripes." says CoUmel
Payson Bradley, past commander of
the Massachusetts Grand Army, "was
not on American soil. When the An
cient and Honorable Artillery landed
at I.ivt-rpool on Its visit to Kngland in
1*;V> the line of march was crowded
with over 10i),0(M) persons. When we
unfolded Old Glory we were struck
with surprise at the cheers which went
up from those English people. As we
marched nlons every man. from the
Prince of Wales to the lowest l*H>t
black, took "(T his hat while the stars
and stripes passed. I would like to see
that happen once In Boston or New
Vork before I die."—Boston ItecorcL

on your watch?

(Continued from. last Issue)
"You're right." he said. "Why should
I tell you nil this? I didn't come here
to tell you this. 1 come here to tell you
something else. 1 come here to tell
yon to cancel all orders what I give
you; also If you or your salesman come
by my place ever again look-out, that's
all. XlTe way 1 feoT It-now I'll murder
you." lie turned to leave. "And an
other thing," he concluded, "one thing,
you can depend on It So far what I
can help It you don't sell one dollar's
worth of goods to any of my friends
never no more."
Again the door banged explosively,
and Mr. Cohen was gone.
"That's what comes of not minding
your own business." said Abe. "We
lose a good customer and maybe sev
eral good customers. We lose a good
bookkeeper, too. Mawruss; one what
has been with us for Ave years, and
also we are out a wedding present"
"1 meant It good," Morris protested.
"I done it for the best It say» In the
Talmud, Abe. that we are commanded
to promote marriages."
IV.
A month passed and Miss Cohen coiv
tinned to applj herself to her dally
task at Potash & Perlmutter*e books.
MI don't understood tt, Mawroa®,'*
Abe said 0110 morning. "Why don't
that girl quit her Job? Sho muat have
all sorts of things to do—elothes to buy
and furniture to pick out, ain't It?*"
Perlrautter shrugged his Bhoulders.
"I spoke to her about It," he replied,
"and sho says so long as we're so busy
here, she guesses she will 6tay on the
Job as long as she can. She says her
mommer and her sister can do all the
shopping for her."
"You see, Mawruss, what o mistake
you make." Abe commented with a sigh.
"That's a fine girl, that Miss Oohenl"
Morris nodded gloomily. He began
to realize that he had made a mistake^
after all. Only that morning Mrs. Peri
mutter had demanded $20 with which
to make over her best frock for MIm
Cohen's wedding.
"Sure, she's a fine girl," he agreed,
"but you got to admit yourself. Abe,
that a growing business like ours needs
a hustling young man for a book
keeper."
"That's all right, too, Mawruss," said
Abe; "but you also got to admit that
what a growing business like ours
needs most of all, Mawruss, is cus
tomers, and so far what I see wo don't
gain any customers by this. Also, my
wife has got to have a new dress for
the wedding. She told me so this
morning."
At length the wedding day arrived.
Miss Cohen left Potash & Perlmutter'i
at 4 o'clock, for the ceremony was set
for 7:o0 In the evening. Her parting
with her employers was an embar
rassing one for all three. Abe handed
her a check for $23, with the firm's
blessing, and Morris shook her hand to
comparative silence. He had done and
suffered much for that moment of
leave taking, and further than wishing
her a long and happy married life, he
said nothing. As for Abe, the squan
dering of $23, without hope of return,
temporarily exhausted his capacity for
emotion.
"Good luck to you. Miss Cohen," he
said. "Hope we see you again soon."
"Oh, sure!" Miss Cohen replied cheer
fully. "You'll be at the wedding to
! night?"
Abe nodded—they all nodded—and
j then, with a final handshake all around,
i Miss Cohen departed.
It must be confessed that the wed
ding reception that evening was a very
enjoyable occasion for all the guests,
with the possible" exception of Max
Cohen. The wine flowed like French

champagne at $4 a quart, "while, as
Morris Perl mutter at once deduced
from the careful way In which the
waiters disguised the label with a
napkin, it was really domestic cham
pagne of an Inferior Quality. Never
theless Abe Potash drank more than
his share In a rather futile attempt
to get back in kind part of the twelve
and a half dollars he had contributed
toward Miss Cohen's wedding present,
to say nothing of the cost of bis wife's
gown.
Consequently on the morning after
the festivities he entered his place of
business In no very pleasant frame of
mind. He found that Morris had al
ready arrived.
"Well. Mawruss," he said in greet
ing, "everything went off splendid—
for Foitmilvcr. Max Cohen came down
with a certified check for $6,000, you
and me got rid of about over a hun
dred, counting the wedding present
and our wives' dresses, and Miss Co
ben got a husband and a lot of cut
glass, wliile mo—I got a headache!"
Morris grunted.
"Did you put an 'ad.' In the papers,
Mawruss V
No, I ulu t. Morris snapped.
"Ain't you going to?"
"What for?" Mcrrls growled. "We
don't need no bookkeeper."
"Why not?" Abe cried.
Morris nodded In the direction of the
office.
"Because we got one," he replied.
Abe turned toward the little glass In
closure. Me gnsfied In amazement and
nearly swallowed tile stump of bis ci
gar, for at the old stand, industriously
applying herself to the books of Potash
& Perlmutter, sat Mrs Isaac Feinsll
Ter, nee Cohen.,
A moment later the door opened, and
Isaac Felnsllver entered Immaculately
clothed in a suit of zebra like design.
Ho proceeded to the bookkeeper's of
fice and kissed the blushing bride; then
he repaired to the sample room.
"Good morning, Mawrusal Good
morning, Abel'* he said briskly. "Ain't
tt a One weather?" He throw a bundle
of swatches upon a sample table. "My
partner*, Goldner & Plotkln, and me"
—here be paused to note the effect—"Is
patting out a fine line of spring goods,
and I want to show you some."
Abe and Morris looked over Ike's
due In doted astonishment, and before
they were really cognizant of what
was going on Ike had booked a gener
ous order.
"That ain't to bad," he said, "for a
honeymoon order."
Then he turned and strode toward
tho bookkeeper's office Once more he
saluted the lips of his assiduous
spouse, and a moment later he was
walking rapidly down the street. Abe
looked after htm and expelled a huge
breath.
"Tou find It In the Talmud that we
are commanded to promote marriages,
ain't It Mawruss?" he 'iald. "But one
thing's sure, Mawruss; you can't run a
cloak and suit bnslners according to
the Talmud." There was a short si
lence. "Did you ask her why she
comes back, Mawruss?" he said.
Morris took the end off a particularly
black cigar with one vicious bite,
"I didn't have to ask hor. She told
me," he said bitterly. "She says a
smart gtri can get a husband any day,
she says, but a good Job is hard to find,
and when you got one you should stick
to it,"
Tomorrow, "A Cloak and Suit Com
edy."
