| peals merrily forth, and every habitan T who can leave his homestead come Hooking to the sacred edifico to takt part in this beautiful midnight mass which constitutes one of the four great
 festivals of the church calendar.
 Tho churches. however simple and
 unassuming they may be, ure alwayI
 appropriately lighted and decorated for
 such an occasion, and Q special musical
 service is arranged. The proceedings
 last from midnight until 2 o'clock on
 Christmas morning. When they come
 to close, the oarioles once more tinkle
 merrily along the snowy Canadian
 roads but this time in groups, and with
 much laughing and singing and joking
 each group repairs to some friendly roof
 and sits down to bountiful supper, to
 be enjoyed with the consciousness of a
 religious duty devoutly performed.
 On this particular night the lamps and candles burn until dawn in the cot
 tage of tho frugal habitant while the jolly gatherings feast on their time hon. ored fare of French doughnuts and pot. ted head.
 When morning comes, the stalwari Quebec oouuntryman docs not retire to rest, hut prolongs his merrymakinR through Christmas day itself He is too much of the sturdy northerner to be up. let by night out of bed, and no one would know on Christmas morning that his bright eyed daughter had danced through most of the night. If of an ex- tremely religious turn of mind, he goes back to his church and attends high mass at 10 in the morning, vespers at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and benedio. tion at 2 in the evening. Soi he wishes be may spend his entire day in the church.
 The ordinary habitant, however, does e; always regard this as necessary. Congenial spirits, in the most outlandish of furs, gather together at their piotur esQue little village taverns and regale with "whisky blanc" and l "eau do vie" |" The pungent odor of l "tabao Canadien" fills the low ceilinged | rooms, and while some play cards and lraughts others sit about the fire and tell stories of old voyageur days and ad ventures in the "bush" and of deeds oi sarly daring that have been told gen sration after genernuor or by tho same family aud in the same village.

 The habitant's Christmas dinner is iiferent from that of any other man on bis continent of ours.

WRAPS WRONG WITH BRADY !

lf Governor Brady desires popularity iI Alaska. he should quit making sp,eehr' anI suppress in some way his ofhtial or gsn at Siik,. This Silkl paper by itS tul some fattery Of the governor and idiOth condemnation of the Juneau convention. because those who issued the call for I' anI those who participated in its deib-ra- ,ion> did not consult their governor, ha' awakened supreme eonten pt from all oveI Alaska. And the governors recent char attsrzi,ion of miners meetings as "a dis gr,ee Co eivilizition." and as places where "a lot Of saloon men and other lAwles' men sot togethei," will not add to hi popularity.
 The governors representation of Aus ka's miners Is far from the fats. Thoss who have come to Alaska for the purpos' oi b.ttering their conditions have demln- s,rllsd themselves to be a law-abiding, ln dus,rious, intel igent and patriotic class o people The fact is too Self-eyidsnt to re-
 
 qulre comment.
 The idea Of ltS being necessary for the people Co consult the governor before talk ing aclion upon matters they feel to be ol lmpor lnce for Alaska Is a new one li the Si ka people wanted GSvern0r BradN in the Juneau convention why did ,heN not select him as a telegaJe3 Or. fl Gov ernor Brady had ideas which he desired t impress upon the statute books pertaining Co Alaska, why did he not go befort the convention Of the peoples repreen ativsS with his viewSl Marshal Shoup dld this and the convention unanimously elected him a delegate at large in he convention. No doubt Governor Brady would have received the same courtesy h q he acted as did Marshal Shoup. l. come with poor taste from the governors weeks previous to its assembling. Ii.''1i SSS,. .SS eInor Brady Is perhaps dissatisfied bee,uS, the convention dld nol aelssate him iAa. ecutlVe and congress. lt 50, those who composed the convention can say that h, was present during the last session of con greSS. and all that Alaska has in token of congress remembrance Is law that com pelS them ,o pay three times as much taxe. Into the federal treasury as any other sec- tion of this republic.
 Alaska Is either outgoing Governor Brady or the gover or is getting childish.
