HAT SAVED HIM A LARGE SUM

Buyer and Seller Split on Price of a
Derby.
It is not often that hat saves a
man a small fortune, but an Americas
cotton buyer is In hand just cool
thousand or two and thanks the hat
ter for it. Quite recently he was on a
trade with planter here for q lot of
several hundred bales of cotton. It
was very close deal, but figures were
finally agreed upon and the transfer of
cotton was about to be made when the
cotton buyer demanded that the plant
er give him hat on the close of trade.
This was refused and the cotton went
unsold. Todsy the cotton man can
buy a whole hat store with the money
he would have lost had the deal been
completed.

He Photographed Up One Flight.

That New York is n big city which
the stranger seldom learns very well
was quite forcibly impressed upon a
certain well known Californian few
days ago. He visits New York twice q
year and has long since learned to find
his way about.
He was charging about In the busi-
ness district and suddenly remembered
that he wanted to telegraph to friend
whose offices are at 1876 Broadway.
The Californian dashed into the near
est telegraph office, wrote out his dis
patch and, covering it with the coin,
passed it through the wicket to the
receiver. The receiver smiled.
what Is the matterT demanded the
Californian.
"Why, this Is 1875 Broadway" said
the receiver, land your man Is up just
one flight of stairs"
There was a confused period that
lasted about a second, and when the
Californian got his nerve back he calm
ly said: II know that Let 1t go any
way. / guess l can telegraph across
the room or this counter IL l want to
and have the money. We do that thing
out In California every day for joke"
The receiver may have been bluffed,
but as receivers go they are hard to
impress.-San Francisco Chronicle.

BRADY REAPPoINTED.

The President hes re'appOinted Gov
srnor Brady, notwithstanding the
protest of the recent republican territorial
convention. This action will cause much
regret amongst those hardy and energetic
citizens who are striving with might and
main to build mighty state here on the
shores of Alaska. The hope was INDUCED
that the president would take advantage
of the opportunity which legisated our
moss>baek governor out of office to remove
this barnacle. But tn: hope has been in
vain. In all probability he has now teen
fastened upon US for another four wears. In
the meantime Alaska must progress in
spite of her governor.
The action of the president in retaining
Brady intensifes the necessity for unani-
nous demand for delegate in congress.
Each winter in the future will no doubt
see this representative of a time that is
past in Washington endeavoring to fash
ion legislation to serve his private ends
and those of his little clique. The only
remedy that suggests itself is delegate in
congress, that representative Alaskan
may be selected to speak for our people.

Try n Change.

You have probably tried the plan Of
making others miserable and found
little comfort In it. Try making 9th
ers happier. Possibly it will suit you
better. Too many people have the hab-
1t of saying dlsagreeable things to and
about others. There is no pleasure in
1t, but there Is SO much unhappiness
in the world that you can gain genuine
satisfaction by saying kind things of
people, by doing kind things. Don't
cut and slash. 1t only makes misera-
BILE people more miserable. The fact
that others cut and slash you is no ex-
cuse for adopting their mistaken poll
cy. With little modesty and little
kindness you can do missionary work
every day and accomplish a great deal
Of good.--Atchison Globe.

The late Senator Sawyer Of Wiscon-
sin was very generous giver Of char
ity and of presents, which neither he
nor the beneficiary would have cared
to denominate as charity, though the
gifts amounted to much the same. He
told friend one day that he was
going to turn over new leaf and try
to keep his donations down to limit
that would not exceed $1,000 month.
Three months after he had announced
this resolution his friend asked how
he had made out.
Il started out pretty WELL" he re-
piled, land If | hadn't given an old
friend of mine In Wisconsin who had
struck hard luck $4,000 last month l
think l should have kept within the
limit" -Philadelphia Bulletin.

House Hunter-Sorry about that. Do

About two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained a touching letter
from a man In Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival of a bouncing boy. The fond
parent went on to tell that the boy
would be named Philetus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
child would grow up an honor to the
name and the possessor Of the fine
traits of character that distinguished
the generous hearted man whose name
would be borne 10y himself.
Senator Sawyer went to the senate
chamber with warm glow In his
heart and the determine ton TO send
that fond parent nice big check. He
felt so good that he showed the letter
TO Senator Allison. The Iowa man
chuckled as he read 1t and produced a
letter almost Identical, except that the
young prodigy was to be named Will
liam Allison Jones.
1t was too good to keep. and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds Of
Vermont That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently TO smiilngly produce
letter of similar purport. Then there
ensued comparison Of senatorial

THE CHIMNEY ORDINANCE.

1t is gratifying that so many of Skag-
WAYS property owners are showing dis
position to comply with the ordinance
passed by the common council requiring
brick ohimneys to be put in all buildings
south of Tenth avenue on or before the
first of September. This is one of the
most reasonable and sensible precautionary
actions the city council has ever taken, and
one who fails to comply with it stamps
himself an enemy of the city, and he
should be treated as such.
There are many people who have invest
ed their all in the thriving CITY of Skag-
way, and the greatest menace to these in
vestments is the ever present danger from
fire. II is not fair that only few of the
more progressive and patriotic citizens who
quickly respond to this reasonable demand
should have their good work brought to
nought by refusal of others less public
spirited to respond likewise. Unless all
comply with the terms of the ordinance.
the man who incurs the expense of having
brick chmneys erected Oh his premises
will be still exposed to the dangers from
his neighbors' negligence, and his danger
will be little less than before. 1t is mat
ter for congratulation that the officers of
the law have slgnlfed their purpose to ac-
tivelv cooperate with the council in their
praiseworthy effarts to protect life and
property.
All citizens who have the welfare Of
Skagwav at heart will remove their old
stovepipes and erect brick chmneys long
before the expiration of the time limit pre-
scribed by the CITY council

HOW LiucoIn won IN. WIG.

How Lincoln Won His wife.
Mr.. Lincoln used to take great de-
light in telling how he gained a knife
by his ugly looks. That has been pub
nshed, but l have not seen another In
print telling how he gained his wife.
Mrs. Lincoln was beautiful lady, at
tractive, sharp, witty and relished q
Joke even at her own expense. She
was staying with her sister, Mrs. Ed
wards. She had not been there long
before everybody knew Miss Mary
Todd. She often said: when a girl,
thought l would not marry until l
could get one of the handsomest men
in the country, but since l became a
woman l learned l can't get such a
man, which has caused me to change
my mind. / have concluded now to
marry the ugliest looking man / can
find"
Later on Lincoln came to town. She
had never seen him before she met
him on the street. She was told who
he was and went home and told her
sister she had seen her man, "the ugii-
est man l ever saw, Abraham Lin
coin, and l am going to set my cap for
him."
That became common saying In
street gossip. When they were mar
ried, instead Of taking a bridal trip,
they went to the Globe hotel, owned by
the writer and occupied by tenant.
They took board at $4 a week. When
he got able. he bought lot for 5000
and built four room house costing
less than $1,000. When he received
$1,000 from his great railroad case, he
spent 81, 800 of 1t in putting a second
story on his house, and there he lived
until he went to Neutrality-suspicious.

COLES POINT.

We have had some extremely cold
weather during the past month. The
harbor was frozen up with a num-
Der of dredge-boats embraced in it's
icy clasp, but owing to rain which
fell Sunday and northwest wind
which followed in rapid succession,
the ice is nearly all gone. Boats can
come and go without impeachment
now.
There have been quite number
of tongmen over here from TangIer,
but the weather being SO severe, they
left sometime ago for home. It is
presumed that some of them will
return to continue their work in the
near future.
longing has been right brisk this
season so far but oysters are scarce in
this section now,as most of the dredg-
ers have worked in this part of the
river, owing to the scarcity of oysters
further up. Market has been fair
the season through and is now fixed
at 80 cts per bushel.
