A Mouse—
I am a mouse, I live in a farm
cellar. X air. very well fed. I have
cheese and other good things to eat.
The farmer and his wife set waps
for me, but they can’t catch me. So
they take the cat from the ham and
put it in the cellar. Mjr little broth
er was going out and the cat got him.
He chased me too, but I escaped.
Even we animal? can’t get along
sometimes.
An Old Horse—
(By Henry Miller!
I am an old horse. My master is
■very good to me for he never uses
a whip or stick on me. My coat is
black with white spots in it here and
there. Sometimes the boys and girls
th: w stones, cans, and sticks at me.
It harts when a stone hits me on the
head. My master has another animal
besides me, a dog. He always bites
my heels and makes me cross. Once
a boy threw a stone and cut me right
above the eye. It was sore all sum
mer because the gnats and other in
sects bit me there and made it very
painful. 1 kicked the boy too, and
broke his leg, but I have been sorry
ever since. We should always return
good for evil even though we are
umb animals.

NO OPPOSITION APPEARS
FOR GOVERNOR TROT
Delegate Dimond has no knowl
edge of Alaskans who are candidates
for the Governorship of Alaska, btrt
believes that Governor Troy will be
reappointed by the President when
his term expires.
"i, personally,” Dimond said, “am
for the continuance cf Governor Troy
in office. "I think he will be so con
tinued and I don’t think a better man
could »e nari for the job.
"He is a perfectly fine governor,
and I—in the words of Jack Garner—
am for him 200 per cent.”
Dimond said he expected to hear
within a short time of the decision
of the Alaska Democratic committee
which is to meet to choose the men
the party will endorse for all the
various Alaska offices which must, be
filled again this year. The meeting
has been called for this month in
Fairbanks, and he will base his fu
ture recommendations on the deei- j
sions reached at the meeting.
"IH go along with the party of
course, but I'm fairly certain of
Governor Troy's popularity and ob
vious equipment for the post will in
sure his endorsement by the Terri- ,
Tory. If he wants to keep his job.
there seems to me to be no question
but what he can have it.”
