The reports of the great gold finds
in Alaska on the Klondyke river and
tributaries is causing no little excite
ment throughout the country and If
the amount OF gold said TO have been
taken out is not greatly exaggerated it
is truly wonderful and will have ten
dency to start tide of emigration to
that country greater than the rush to
California in the 40 and 90 ties. But
let no one be deceived, gold can not be
picked out of the dirt anywhere and
everywhere in that bleak part OF the
country. Where one man may "strike
it rich" thousand others will have
to grub along at day wages and If the
wages are five or ten dollars a day the
cost of living will be in the same pro-
portion.
The company of forty or more who
were at Pine Island lake last Friday
night, report most enjoyable tins.
They were met there by number OF
Grattan people and the hours until
twelve o'clock were very pleasantly
spent. The ladies had prepared a
splendid supper and after the tables
were cleared from the pavilion, dane
ing was the order to the music of the
Italian orchestra which was simply
superb Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Lessi-
ter furnished ten quarts OF ice cream
to the company which was greatly APP
preciated.
There is no happiness in the world
equal to that of blessing others. Not
only by giving money TO the needy,
help to the sick, food to the hungry, II
this blessing compassed; but we gain
it as we give by sympathy, by affection,
by seeing that which is best in our
friends and shutting our eyes to that
which is worse, by taking joy in their
good things even when our own por
ton is scant and poor.-Ex.
People generally approve of the trite
saying that "He who has no friends
deserves none" Measureably this i:
true; but IL teaches a false doctrine
the doctrine that if you have an enemy
it is because you deserve to have; ano
yet it is frequently the case that mel
have enemies because they dared to dc
right. And some men have friends
whom they would not have II they were
better known.--Kansas Workman.
