Another Poet.

Few people, if any, i'll Douglas City know that our local carver, MT. l.. $. Keeton. at McKay's butcher shop, has poetical instincts, nevertheless, it seems he has. When but boy he sent bis first effusion to the country newspaper just to see it come out in print. The country editor was so pleased with 1t that he commented in the following terms:
 "We give to our readers this week an original poem from almost a child which ranks we'll with the verse of to- day, and hope some day Master Keeton will be the poet of the age. We find wit and little humor and good sense. Hope he will favor us again"
 Here is the poem: I am homely boy
 Just scarcely in my teens And thought I'd write some poetry
 To just see how it seems. So will send it to your paper:
 Please set it up and print. For if you don't, now,
 You cet, I'll take the hint. And never write another line,
 To fill your weekly sheet, Nor turn to you and nod my head
 When pass you on the street. The boys all call me poet,
 And say when they are men They'll blow, harrow, SOW and reap,
 And can wield my pen. Please don't criticise
 My first attempt at verse, For I would gladly give you
 Oh! Pshaw! lost my purse. Was about to say five dollars,
 Or ten if could spare, But tell you, here with me,
 Money is pretty rare. Mother says don't send that.
 Father laughed smile, But if you print it this time
 I'll write some more once in while
 The News reporter asked MT. Keeton why he did not write more, to which he replied:
 Instead of being poet
 took the butchers name, And found it lots of greasy work
 With very little fame. So here I'm in Alaska,
 And contented here to stay, Cutting meat and saving bones,
 For Mir, Dan Mckay.

4 Bee Hive.

"A News man visited the Treadwell Store few days ago, and it is verita- ble bee hive. The company has been in the Alaska trade foryears and knows the wants of the people Buyingis done in ship load lots and at the lowest pos sible cash price, and that is why you can always buy so cheap at that store. No wonder the Treadweu Store sells goods all over Alaska.

Not Forgotten.

In our little write-up concerning the Fort Wrangel trip we failed to mention meeting our old friend, Mr. Ames, and his excellent wife. We would not wish to make such an error, for, truly, the writer has no friends in his former home for whom he retains greater friendship and respect.
