RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt M»«>n
REALISM
I took a slice of hard-earned kale to Jimpson's book-store.
Fifth and Pine, and bought a realistic tale the critics boomed
as fine. It treated of "A Narrow Shack," inhabited by dreary
skates; each bore, until he sprained his back, a sordid load of
deadly hatos. The husband loathed his sloppy wife, and she
detested him so much he simply poisoned all her life—she shud
dered at his merest touch. The soil was married to a freak,
who hated him in forty ways: he hated her till she grew weak
and finished out her futile days. The daughtet hated all the
world: she lacked all beauty and all grace: in vain her hay-like
hair she curled, and kalsomined her ghoulisfc face. Dissension
was that honshold's law and anger was iis daily bread, and
all hands hated Pa and Ma, and thought that they*were better
dead. There may be households such as this, in our broad land
where millions live, bleak homes that know no joy or bliss,
where all hearts hate and none forgive. Ours is a mighty
land, gadaooks. and it must hold some queer galoots: but they
write long and turgid books about the fonl, abysmal brutes?
When I pick up a hefty tome I like to meet such characters as
1 might welcome in my home—not yapping, hating, snarling
curs.

One of the greatest feats of navi
gation—which is now being inves
tigated with the idea of taking the
master's papers away from the nav
igator of the vessei—happened in
the Channel last Wednesday morn
ing.
Some time during the dull grey
hours of the morning, a local gas
boat left Douglas for Juneaa. A
heavy fog blanketed the Channel as
the boat headed straight for the
Capital city. The boat held her
course for half an hour when, crash,
the navigators felt her bump.
They thought they had bumped a
Juneau wharf, hut upon scouting
around a little they found that they
were jammed under the llouglas
City dock not 100 feet from where
they had started from a half hour
before.
With a rising tide the craft was
in a had position, wedged tightly
between two piles. The S.O.S. was
sent out and the Santa Rita. Capt.
William Dickinson, came over from
Juneau and pulled the boat out from
her position.

"The Voire of the Pack." "Strength

Columbia. The trip to the Iskut

may assume book form. A serial
story. "Shepherd of the Wilds." is
running in the Blue Book at pres
ent. A short story, "The Heart of
Little Shikara." published in Every
body's, is considered the best story
of the year so far.

in 1913 while at college and has
given his time entirely to fiction
writing since 1916. He was mar
ried early in 1920 to Miss Egnes
