The many different booths with their

promise of a very piecing display.
The total amount realized from
•aies of cut fiowers on Saturday,
Sept. 7th, was $42.75. Through an
oversight no mention was mudte in
l ist week's report of .Mrs. Greime's
and Mr. H. G. McPherson's contri
butions, both of whom gave most
generously of their oeautiful flow

Chapter for their lbors iu disposiang
ot their wares so successfully.
The net proceeds of the Steffans

Abou» this German language stuff—
"Twould seem we've had. about
enough
Oi German things somehow of late—'
Eh what? Nicht vahr? At any rate
We've shown we caa exist quite free
Or all things made in Germany,
Save one, nor yet the least among,
Th« emblem of the German tongue.
And too, a most expressivo one,
This language of the modern Hun.
All-eloquent of lust and rape,
Each diabolic ogre-shape,
That hell's foul dam could breed
and spawn,
Oar sickened' eyes must look upon.
R»d death and carnage, torch and
blaze,
You know them backwards, ev'ry
phrase!
The German language! Such I gay
la what that language means today.
The German language, youngsters
taught
From German text-books, seeped and
fraught
Wi'V Kai3er-love, and from such
youth
We draw our country's men for
sooth!
A'ia Deutcher dailies, those that fee
Our CITIZENS who cannot read
Our words, shoved down our throats
We frown
And gulp, and let the thing go down;
"Bur hold," you say, "why confis
cats
From thousands loyal to ouf state
Th!s vital thing, withdraw yerforca
Their on© sol© coin of intercourse?"
Well meaning friend, this is ouc
land.
Nor Shall we trust a seconds-hand
Teutonic courier with such
A cause as we've espoused—not
much!
If some old Fritz within our gates;
Cannot read- plain United States,
IT> a he should be contend to choosa
Some younger Fritz to read. the
news.
Should young Fritz likewise oaffled
toe,
Wei' theu it's time they both agree
To get their notions rearranged.
And have their G«rman coinage
changed.
If they'd! enjoy that blissful etate
'Xeath their new found protector
ate.
We've got our national bird, we've
got v
Our flag, our capitol—why not
Have our court language—plain, un
mixed
Sood Anglo-Saxon—firmly fixed.
Our land may be a melting-pot, t
Dur lingo somewhat polyglot,
But since this tragic world event.
We've found there's one ingredient
urown so distasteful, odious,
Exhaiant of such leprous tfross,
rhat we cannot afford to Bee ^

THE PLAINS CALL
I mast ride out on the plains again,
With a horse 'twlxt knee and'
knee,
Wheru the wolves how! and the
winds growl,
And the clouds drift fast o'er me;
I must ride out on the plains once
morn,
On the Westland's broad and level
floor.
I must ride forth on the plains at
omrn,
W*ere the cactus flowere are,
And the lark calls, and the white
walls
Of the mountain loom afar;
I must rido out, when breaks the
day—
Rid. were the gods of outdoors
uiay.
I must ride out on the plains at
night,
And smell the dew wet sagf»,
When the moon glows, and the late
snows
G'eam like a book's white page;
J must ride out on the plains again,
And quit this haunt of pygmy men.

NO PHYSICIAN IN RUBY

t'Mcen towards inducing one to lo
cate here.
While the residents of this dis
iistrlct apear to enjoy exceptionally
good health, yet accidents do hap
pen and* when the services of a
physician a*^ needed it might easi
ly result fatally for the patient to
!j» obliged to send or go to Tanana
or Xulato for medical traetment.
The Government maintains hospi
tals at various points on the Yu
kon River at which are stationed
Government physicians whose duties
ire the medical care of the natives
or that vicinity.
If the Government could t)e in
duced to establish such an hospital
ia Ruby the private Practice of the
physician in charge, add<ed to the
salary paid him by the Government,
would make the position attractive
enough to be sought after by a
physician of experience and ability
and enable both the native wards
o* the government and thQ private
citizens of this community to re
ceive first class medical treatment
"-l'en needed.
Let us delay no longer in an ef
fort to bring this about. Noyr it
is up to the residents of this dis
trict themselves to get busy and
get the matter settled before the

clouds when he has shone on my

shall I welcome him the less when
he comes forth to warm me again,?
Beloved, if I have aught to forgive
it is that you, I hold, havg asked
the question. I have no desire to
know anything, except that you
have loved me and love me still.
My faith is unquestioning, for have
I not crowned yv)u king, and the
kine can do no wrong? These
eyes of mine, which closed beneath
your kisses, are sightless until your
lips uneai them. My ears are
deaf except to the magic call of
the voice of my beloved, and my
heart has ceased to beat until it
can throb on yours. I am sleeping
and shall awaken but at the sound
ot your footsteps."
English Hereditary Offices.
Conventional epithets have once
more been used In the English news
papers about the late Lord Londesbor
ough's hereditary office as vice admi
ral of the Yorkshire coast. In reality
there are many similar appointments
In force elsewhere. The lord mayor
of Bristol Is vice admiral of the chan
nel as far down as -Holmes and pos
sesses an ancient silver oar, which he
Is entitled to have borne before him
In virtue of his office. By a fiction of
medieval law all dead persons washed
up by the tide were considered to be
long to the parish in which the Mer
chant Venturers stand, and births at
sea were registered there. Before the
organization of the royal navy had
been fully developed It was conveni
ent to Intrust the Interests of the
crown in regard to the duties of the
admiralty to local gentlemen, like the
Denlsons of Scarborough, from which
the earls of Lonsdale derive, of suffi
cient standing to be immune from
sympathy with smuggling, which was
the chief difficulty In early times. For
handling maritime questions special
qualifications were necessary, which
the lord lieutenant, If he were seated
Inland, might not possess.
Snails are to he boosted as a war
food. They don't sound appetizing to
many people, but they are delicious If
you call them eseargots.
Uncle Sam's soldiers may now be

prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years. It If com
