SI (.1IISS IN CANS—FAILURES IV
CANTS
The bov who says he cau't is
probably right. To thiol; failure
is to act it. Success or failure do*
oeud en the spinal colun. Those
who succeed have backbones, those
who Tail have wish, bones. A back
l-ouo means the determination to
pound your paw on the table and
say J will." A backbone means
jaw sot, teeth gritted and fist
<:1<;tithed. It means the strength to
laugh at obstacles.
'I he word obstacle is found only
in the lexicon of the Weak. In
tha wth of the strong obstacles are
st°')Pi:>? stones. Don't say can't
ear-i m<"-re money; don't say can't
Jo :.ny tKing. Columbus didn't say
"I oa:i'i." Fulton didn't say "I
can't.Kdison didn't say "I
can't." Do you know who have
said "i cau't." Do you know? They
are *ue millions and millions who
have and whose names are
^ravsrn on the blank walls in the
uakuo*t Temple of the Forgotten.
fne greatest lesson in Solomon's
Songs is this, "As a man thiakest,
so i- he " As you think so you
are. If you say you can't you are
prc-ball* right But when you
say I ("AN you are and will follow
i' up by "I WILL" and then the
time will be but shortwhenyou will
say J DID."
Down in Skagway now apparently
a remarkable revival hag taken
place. They have combined for
tho development of mining ground
in fUo neighborhood and a fine bank
been established at the back of
whit*" are some very wealthy out
side people. A commercial body has
been rrsusitated and the paper of
the i lnre The Daily Alaskan, is
evident!;- made the organ of all the
interest.- in the effort to bring out
wlia- U.e district has in its posses
sion. Just a few months ago no
one could have thought of the es
tablishment iu okagway of Shank
ing institution whfcjh has in view
the ostal'llshment of trraoches in
other towns but, clearly, intelligent
work hat been done by the people
there. May they reap the full re
ward.—Seward Gateway.
At li^sl the storm which is rav
aging Kurope seems to be crossing
Atlantic aixl threatens to break up
on there shores. President Wilson's
note «o Germany is in the nature of
a polite ultmatum. Unless Ger
many modifies her submarine policy
in a degree satisfactory to the
Unite-i States, a severance of di
plomatic relations is inevitable. We
are possibly now on the verge of
war with Germany, a catastrophe
that only Germany can prevent. If
war comes, which, Heavea, forbid, its
consqeucnces to the United States
cannot be very serious, Owing to
our geographic position wq are le^-s
exposed to barm than any of the
belligerents and are relatively safe
from attack. The German navy
cannot reach our coasts, and our
navy can do little beyond aiding
the Allkd navies. Our a-rmy has
ye» to be created and it would be
months before we had aweH-trained
and equipped force to send across
tho Atlantic. Our most vulnerable
point would be the relatively small
A merit an fleet of merchant ships,
which would of course bo subject
to submarine attacks. A big bond
issue would be one oX the first
accompaniments of war. Business
relations between Germany and the
United States, small as they are,
would iirobably be placed under le
gal restrictions, if not prohibited.
It is net likely, however, that
hostilities would very seriously dis
tuib cut financial markets.
We, each of us, have an inborn
conviction that the wJiole world
with everybody and everything in
it wis created as a sort of neces
sary appendage to ourselves.

FIRE BAGS AT SEA.
The Kind They •Used tn-the Day of the
Old Tinder Box.
Every whaler and sealer thnt sniled
the seas in the days or wooden sUIp3
carried a lire bap. This was a tarpan
llu bag about a foot long and six inches
wide lined with waterproof material,
with interltaings of oilcloth and thick
flannel. Into this was placed the flint
and tinder box for kindling fire, and
the bag was then securely fastened
with double Sal's and tied to keep Us
contents dry.
It was the special duty of the second
mate to look after the Cre bat: and in
case of shipwreck to attach it at once
to his person by tncans.of stoat straps
provided for the purpose. Thus If offi
cers and crew were ca-t a way 011 some
deserted shore In the desolate arctic
circle the means of obtaining a fire to
warm tiienir-elves by auj io heat food
and drink woalj cot bo ivanting as
long as the precious fire ba„ was safe.
The steam whalers and sealers of the
present day still carry a fire bag stow
ed in the lifeboat with the bread and
water, but now it Is of rubier and con
tains half a dozen tin boxes of matches.

Double C/cd Fish.
There is a fish equipped with bifocal
eyes, one-half of the lens for seeing
above the surface of the water and the
other for submarine use. Tills char
acteristic also gives the fish its popu
lar name—double eyes.
The fish inhabits the shores of South
America. Sometimes they swlui wit!l
the eyes half out of water. Examina
tion shows that each lens Is divided
into two parts by a dark band. The
half above the band Is out of water
and the other half below the surface.
Naturalists tell us that the fish's eyes
became "double" from its practice'in
swimming with them half submerged.
Nature made the part of the eye above
water adapted for seeing in the air.
while the other part remained adapted
for visiOD under water.
The double eyes grow to about a
foot in length and in P.razll are caught
for food.—Philadelphia North Ameri
