WAYFARING WATKRS
The brown brook laughed and went
Its way
•Twtxt hill and bill*.
Alone the slopes night-shadows lay.
The fields were still;
The clear brown dusk held all the
height.
And brimmed the vale, that sum
mer night:
The clear brown d'jsk, not dark nor
day,
Enveined with the shade,
Where many an oak spread many!
a spray—
In whose leaves laid.
Birds thro' their happy dreams
heard sing
The water in its wandering. ...
J It spoke of many a happy brood
That soon should fly.
Where In the green leaf-solitude
Sweet days go by—
It whispered low of .secret things
Hid in the heart of water springs
And as it went, strange tales it told
In unknown tongue,
And fairy histories of old
It softly sung;
Through the clear dusk it took its
flight.
The clear brown d isk, not day nor
night.

Printer's Devil
Airs Greivances
Of course I'm only the printer'*
devil in the Alaskan office. but I'll
botcher a dime that the publicity
department has It In for the boss
or else somethin' *ould bave been
said about the ntw Westinghouse
motor that we Rot to run the press
es with. Why, its & big one and the
new one which was put onto the
Merg looks like a sewing machine
motor compared to it. If Asks or
Harrisons wash thtir windows, the
pub. mgr. would come tearing into
the editor's sanctum and want a
column wrote about it. Shucks, be
fore we moved into our new building
011 Fifth avenoo the whole place was
washed, and a lot of new-windows
put in so that it is a dandy bright
newspaper dump.
I'll belcher another dime (hat if
Mr. Oecoosa, who begun the Dally
Vlaskan way hark In the goldrush
days was to comt along now. he
wouldn't know the paper. For
inor'n I" years the people of Skag
way has been ref.-eshed with the
outside noos and th» present boss is
hand.ne ii out better all the time,
lots of people says Skagway does not
warrant a tri-week.y paper, but the
boss says he's going to give it to
(hem a while longer because he has
faith in Skagway cjming back, and
you can just belcher life it will come
hack. Maybe not like when Mr.
Desooca was here, but the boss
thinks that it will ie a good steady
little town, and that's the reason he
bought the old cnhle office for a
liome for the printin' office.
The more 1 thin* of it the more
I'm sure that the pub. man. must
iiave a grouch on about the boss.
It can't be that he don't get his wag
es. for I saw the boss hand tt to
him. hut he has something in for the
bos. Why didn't he mention the
big clean dust proof stock room that
the boss has built iL the back of the
print shop. The shelves are wider
than a lower berth in the Spokane,
nud if they weren t so long, they
•vould mhke you think of the berths
n a stateroom, ccered with their
i itc paper which makes you think
.if the white spreuJs on the beds.
Then there is other shelves that has
liter kinds of paper and stock, and
■his makes you thii.X of the colored
blankets on the bei:hs. If you had
;o pack in the wool that was burn
ed up in the old d imp. you'd know
what r snap it is now in the new
place, for it don't take half the
wood, and lots of times we have to
open the doors, it gets so hot. You
jes bet I'm right when I say the
pub. man. has it in for the boss, or
he'd of sa d something about the
big new Merg which sets more type
now than the make up man can get
Into the four pages. Why don't the
pub. man. take out some of the ads
to make room for the rest of the
type what the ope/ator sets up?
Guess if he did. then the boss
wouldn't pay him. and he sure
would have a groucn.
Gosh, 1 gotta idee. rm going to
lilt the boss for a raise. My work
k. i'p* gettin' harder en harder. Why
1 liave to send papers to Italy now.
Think of it. And France and Lon
don. Next thing I'll be having to
send a paper to the Bolsheviks in
Warsaw. If 1 get that raise I'll take
my best girl to Uie Pop. Picture
Palace twice a week. That show's
a good one.
(Mgr's. Note.—Finding the above
notes on my desk, I am forcibly re
minded of my shortcoming. It is
true we have moved to our new
quarters and have said little or
nothing beyond the mere notice of
moving. Few people who have tak
en the time to look into a print shop
realize how many things are needed
there. You come to the office, or
der a set of calling cards, noting the
style of type from one to ten, or so,
which are shown you. and make
your selection, another comes and
wants a folder, or large billboard
sign. He makes bis selection of
type and is assured of satisfaction,
another calls and desires a book
printed or some extra special job
work done, blanks, legal papers,
wedding announceaents, Christmas
or other greetings. Its all here and
it can all be done here In the best
form and is being done here, with
out noise or commotion. Our new
Quarters are compact, but comfort
able, well arranged, well lighted,
well heated and with an exception
ally good class of machines and
types for all classes of work, and the
prices are reasonable. The building
is in excellent shape, is set on con
crete piers, easily accessible in all
parts and a splendid up-to-date
workshop. Our rew late Mergen
thaler linotype does the excellent
work seen in the paper, the three
presses are lined up to the new
five horse power motor and ready
for and doing business. We are cot
asking for more than normal civic
interest would give without asking.

DECLARES HIMSELF
Said Dan McGann to a foreign man
who worked at the self-same
bench,
"I^et me tell yon this." and for em
phasis. he flourished a Slllson
wrench,
"Don't talk to me of the bourjois
see, don't open your mouth to
Bpeak,
Of your socialists or anarchists,
don't mention the Bolsheveek,
For I've had enough of this foreign
staff. I'm as s'ck as a man can
be
Of the speech of hkte, and I'm tell
ing you straight that this Is
the land for me!
If you wish to brag, just take that
flag, and boast of its fleld of
blue.
And praise the deid an' the blood
they shed for the sake of the
likes of you.
I'll hear no more." and he waved
once more his wrench in a
forceful way,
"0' the cunning cr«d o' some Rus
sian breed. I stand for the U.
S. A.
I'm done with you: fads and your
wild-eyed lads, don't flourish
your flag of red
Where I can see, or at night
there'll be tall candles around
your bed.
So tip your hat to a flag like that'
Thank God fo» Its stripes and
stars!
Thank God you're here where the]
roads are clear, away from your!
kings and czars.
I can't just say what I feel today,
for I'm not a talkin' man.
But first an' last. Tm standing fast
for all that's American.
So don't you speak of the Bolshe
veek, it's sick of that stuff 11
am.
One God, one flag, is the creed 1
brag. I'm bowling for I'ncle
Sam!"
—Edward A. Guest.
