THERE ARE EXCEPTION'S
1'SUALLY TO ALL RULES
It Is not often that the editor of
the Daily Alaskan pays attention
to anonymous correspondence, but
tho following, which reached us
through the mail last night, is of
such piquant merit and so true to
1' that we are constrained for
this once to break a rule that has
heretofore been observed as strict
ly as were the ancient laws of the
Medes and Persians, and publish
it:—Ed.
The Busybody.
In some small towns you'll find
a man that thinks that he's the
Guy; because he sneaks and snoops
around and is somewhat on the sly.
He gathers gossip all the day, as
busy as a bee; and when lie meets
his tillicums, retails it to them free.
He gathers all the slime and slush
and takes it to his home; and tends
to other people's businses while for
gettin- about his own. As a pop
ular politician he's nothing but a
mutt; and people look upon him as
the rear end of a butt. He sleuths
around ."boat the town and from
place to place he roams- putting up
a bold big front as a second Sher
lock Holmes. He's a knocker of ev
ery enterprise except where he can
profit; and is looking for the big
gest er.d to slip into his pocket.
This busy Guy in every town is al
ways »oo well known; he attends
t-» everybody's business, and not un
t<- his own.

Sl'HOOf PROPERTY DESTROYED
FOR UNKNOWN REASON
Some unknown miscreant, whose
sense of right and wrong is appar
ently developed, and whose fu
ture acts will probably at some time
place him behind the bars, where he
belongs, relievde his spite for some
one by throwing stones through
five of the window panes of the
room at the public school used by
Miss Lalonde as a class room. The
stones were about the size of an
ordinar> apple, and had evidently
been picked up in the river bed
and carried to the place where they
were used, as they were smooth
and entirely free from dirt.

The Ho ne of
HART SO iAFFNER
& MARX
Clc±. es
Twenty-five dollars isn't much
money to spend for a suit
of clothes; when you come to know what
first-class quality of materials and tailoring,
and what restfulness of mind as to style
that price commands, you'll almost think it
isn't enough to pay.
Young men especially want smart
style; and Hart Schaffner & Marx have
the style problem so perfectly worked out,
we advise any man to put his money, and
himself into one of their $25 suits.
We have clothes at $ 18
and $20 and at $30, $40
