men telegraphic Junk far them to
polish up and dish °ut to their
readers as current and interesting
news matter. The Gateway says:
"It cost this piper two dollars
yesterday to learn what Andrew
Carnegie said about tie kaiser,
Just as though Carn»gie knew any
more about the war than a private
in Cosey's army.
"Why should anyone think It
worth telegraphing wh&t Carnegie
thinks about the cause of the war
and its probable result?
"Carnegie ts Ju«t a money mak
er. He has dwvoted all bis ener

life to accumulating as many dol

IT'S YOU
If you want to live in the kind I
of a town like the kind of a town !
you like, you needn't slip your
clothes in a grip aTid start on a
long, long hike. You'll find what
you left behind, for there's noth
ing that's really neew. It's a
knock at yourself when you knock
your town. It isn't your town—
\ it's you! Real towns are not. made
; t>y men afraid lest somebody else
gets ahead. When everyone works
and nobody 6hlrks you can 'raise a
town from the dead. And it while
you make your personal stake your
neighbor can make one, too, your
town will be what you want to see.
It isn't your town—'-it'g you!—Ex. j
A NOTABLE WOMAN PROMOTED
(Mrs. Mary Laa£, who died in
Tucson, Arizona, in tke latter v»r'
of November, 1914, was. before
her marriage, a teacher in the na
tive school at Haiues, Alaska, where
by her kindly and lovable disposi
tion she made liOBts of warm
friends during her stay, and where
she still ha« relatives living to
mourn her untimely demise.
The following touching tribute to
Iter memory ie from thu pen of
oae who knew her well and was a
warm admirer of k*r many vir
tues;—Ed.)
■Mary, known as May, MacKintosh,
w»>o cam« to Halues, Alaska in the
summer of 1899, aad made the trip
:iOrth westward ae far as Dalton's
poet; thence returned to Haines
and engaged to -'teach the native
school, which teaching was continu
ed hy her or her sister for eight
year®.
Being of a sympathetic disposition
as shown by her "Hgaging, when
12 year» old, with the sister next
older than she, to drill and conduct
an exhibition in their home village
school after the cloee of that
school, because the exhibition given
under the direction of their teach
er had not seemed satisfactory to
the school, nor Up to the standard
of previous years; herself having
beea a Sunday school and church
soer all her life, from the time she
could walk there.
From the beginning of her school
teaching she was interested in all
church affaire, entering them with
spirit, earnestness, devotion and
sincerity. She had become a mem
ber of the first Presbyterian church
at Cincinnati, Ohio, when taking a
business course iu that city, and
wag a singer in the church choir,
brought her latter thenc^ to the
Seattle First Presbyterian church on
coming west in 1S93.
Church work seamed natural and
a pleasure to her; having commit
ted most, if not all, of the West
minster shorter catechism during
her school days, commended it and
privileged her classes in day and
church schools to recite it before
her.
There being neither drug store
nor physician at Haines, nor within
immediate reach in those days, Miss
MacKintosh was vorlly for the
iiativefc not only 'either, but nurse
and physician, also clothier for
some children and women; conse
quently she brought more -wealth to
Alaska than she carried away.
During each of those years there
wintered at Haines 259 to 4 5-0; na
tive Alaskans, and the homes of all
those were visited from once a
week to oace a month, according to
health and their church and school
attendance. The s5-;k ^ere called on
from once a day to once a week,
according to their stale, and vrith
the help of the ether members of
that family, food taken or sent to
selected cases of sick, continued In
' a few instances to three months, to
some siclc one in a hovel. No one
. Is known to th© writer to have ob
i served a like practice except the
baker, Mr. Braver, who did it in
\ several remembered cases, giving
j the sick ones lodging food.
| Some results of beautltudinal do
ings by those two . fcisters are yet
visible. During t>vo winters the
two sisters, with Ihe help of W
B. Stout, rehearsed weekly Pente
costal hymns Nos, 1 and 2 until its
4S6 had been played and sung with
all the natives who could be induc
ed to attend. Leslie sacred Choir
was also practiced in like manner
with a selected ehoir of natives; al
so some other song books were
used in like manner for special oc
casions.
Most of the yourg men now in
the Haines baud rccsived the ma
jor cart of their drill in reading
music, also some of the Klukwau"
youths shared the same benefit
Specifically susio Shottridge, as a
soprano, and her husband Louis, as
a tenor singer, are instanced as
having derived «their confidence, ]
freedom, and breadth from the prac
tice of those years that enabled
them to visit as singers, actors and.
proScjent in other ways, Chicago,
Philadelphia and New York,
Mrs. Susie Shottridge when she
learned Miss Mackintosh had not
applied for the school and had giv- j
en up her church work with ex
pectations of leaving Haines, shed 1
tears and said '"We, too, will leave
if you go," and sa? did, nor has
she returned in six years.
The natives yet occasionally say
they have not had a teacher like
Miss MacKintosh. The best of the
white people here describe her as a
noble woman. lier life in every
department of work was consistent,
upright and kind.
On leaving Alaska in 1908, she
married a man 'a Seattle who had
waited for-fher- rt-lurri;aine.years.
The^ moved to -Yakima valley neir
Mabton, Wash.", on their-own ranch.
Four years afterwards, they leased'
the ranch' and.'-nto«ed;.,to Prosser,
where they owned houses.' lii a
year thereafter her relatives, at
Haines learned Mrs. • Laak,
MacKintosh, was declining rapidly
and havthg been advised .by- her
physician to.'go-To-California, had_
sone. to Los Angles, leaving her
two ..children^ -a daughter and ..son*
with their grandmother in Washing
ton state; • .»■ * • •
In March 1914 she weut to Tus
