THE GKEATKST THING IX THE

"What b the greatest thing in

It was asked the scholar, and
ho gravely answered that learning
is, lor it comprehends all and pro
motes all.
It was asked the artist, and he
cried,: "Alt, lor it combines mat
ter a.ud spirit both at their best.'
The preacher solemnly deeclared:
"Religion, because it i» a light
from heaven."
The lawyer argued: "Justice, for
it is the .soul of peace and pro
gress." 1
' Money," said the banker: "It
is the spring of all action."
The voung man full of hope and
spirit cried,: "Ambition."
Out cf his garden of-wisdom the
weary old toiler answered: "Con
tent." I
The pair of lovers, hand in hand,
li--ped together: "Love."
The mother with her beby at her
breast smiled: "Sacrifice."
The wild roysterer cried: "Plea
sure." 1
The wan invalid whispered:
" Health."
To a shambling, grinning fool

The sreut purpose of life is hap

Our conception of happiness de

us into morasses of disappointment.
Are you getting the genuine -r

Tiiti t is this to be remembered:
Genuine happiness does not cost
anywhere near as much as the
false variety.
i'erhaps the only one really to
be envied, and yet the one least
envied, is the one whose ideals a-re

The cancellation of the United
States mail service between • Ju
neau and Jualin and other Lynn
canal points has exaggerated the
inadequacy of the mail service be
tween Alaskan points. Fot in
stance, it is easier-to do small busl
ness by -mail between Juneau and
San JTrau^lsco than it is between
Juneau and Sitka or Juneau and Ju
ailn, bith nearby communities. In
stead of reducing and imoairing the
mall service between Alaskan points
the government should be lncreas
; iusr and improving it.—Emprie.
Kvrey man hath, in his life sins
euougb, in his own mind trouble
enough, in his own fortunes evil
enough, and in performance of his
offices failings more than enough,
to eutertain his own inquiry; so
tha' curiosity after the affairs of
others cannot be without envy and

Abusing a True Friend.

on this subject" he writes, "to find a

of man's double being which must at

my brains for a plot of any sort, am)
