Well Chips, old fellow, | haven't got
time to tell you how ,ootuse (get out
your old dtgester agaip) you arc in re-
gard to Coogler. Now Coogler, the
poet, Is J. Gordon Coogler of Columbia,
5. O., the poet laureate OF South Caro-
lima and about whom much has been
written. Mr.. Coogler having obtained
almost national reputc by his verse.
All the large city dailies OF the South
went wild over his poems and clubs call
ed Stan%ers were organized in nearly
every city Of any size except Prosperi-
ty in his honor, going as far West as
ST. Louis ard Chicago and. when you
took that good old hymn and recast it to
suit your case in raise Of Gov. Ellerbe,
we felt like the newspapers did towards
Coogler, and we said that you had out
Cooglered Coogler and we say SO still
and you need not try to obscure the
main question by tolling the public that
| had "cooglo" in the drug store and
every time the door opened it went ting,
ting, ting. Now Chips, that is u harp
and plays the praise of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, but rs you say GOGGLES his
praises. Yes, l know tho little Chips
would be delighted with such Google.
1t is old man Chips that objects, for it
would be continually telling him 20
buy, buy, buy. | have not time to go
into detail in reply to your cooglering
&c, and know the public are tired OF
our vaporing, so l will go no further
and only say don't you try TO get of any
more poetry on long suffering public,
or they may send a vigilance commit
tee to wait on you and my old, friend
Chips may be squelched aud the news-
papers will see his letters no moro for
ever. So don't tempt them any further
for they might want to get rid of we

There is talk Of building bicycle

thing it would be for those who have.
And then, too, why not build the tele-

VIM Ogilvic, admins traitor for the
Dominion of Canada in the Yukon dis
trict, was II passenger on the HOrsa,
bound for Dawson City.

looked rs though this paper WAS to I've
treated the same us others and given
the 'marble heart but JOURNAL
man always has perseverance, and tack,
and finally Mr.. Ogilvie warmed up and
said. that while he seldom allowed him
self to be interviewed. he would make
an exception in the case of the jour
NAL. During the interview Mir. Oyilvie
said in substance that he was bound for
Dawson City, which point he expected
to reach within ten days and make his
future headquarters. When there he
will Immediately enter upon the duties
! imposed upon him. among which was
the correction of abuses and the strict
observance of the present mining laws
of Canada. Mr.. Ogilvie will make IL
careful investigation into their work
ings and any changes deemed necessary
will be recommended to the home gov
ernment.
Asked regarding the Stikeen route
MIR. Ogilvie stated that the all-Cana-
dian route had not been abandoned by
the government. Parliament meets
soon and no doubt action will at once be
taken as II heavy pressure Will be
brought to bear in its favor.
Mr.. Ogilvie is IL very pleasant gentle
man to meet He is hale and hearty
and has no fear of the cold in the far

The vulgar attack in the Adver-
tiser on Mr.. j. w. Luning is not a
credit to that paper Mr. Luning
has a perfect right to criticize the
Library or any other public institu-
tions, which he helps to support.
MIR. Luning gives away more money
to charity and for the benefit of the
public than does Editor Armstrong
aud his clique. 1t should not be
forgotten, however, that Mr.. Arm
strong is a member Of the COM
mittee on books for the Library, and
that he naturally feels sore when
some one stirs up the fossilized
methods of the institution. 1t was
never the intention Of Chas. r.
Bishop, or A. j. Cartwright, or the
other beneficiaries of the Library to
have it conducted as a "close cor
poration." We do not desire to no.
tice the personal insinuations against
Mr.. Luning in regard to his "kick-
ing" but We think that the COM
munity is entitled to know how that
$4,000 Of Mr.. Bishop has been spent
or how it is being utilized. Mr..
Bishop did not give his money for
the benefit of a clique or for the
purpose of having Luning and other
subscribers abused.

Why should the little red fish
(alalaua) coincidently come into the
harbor on occasions fraught with
disaster to the native Hawaiians?
Is it an incident purely of coinci-

servation surround them with the
halo of romance and plausible fiction
or is there an inexplicable connection
with things unseen yet ever near,
