of the best systems thai ever went into effect,
but yet we must be brought almost to think
that it is no good when we hear some of our
professional kickers downing it with hands
and feet We all know that the present sys-
TEN is more convenient than the old way.
No matter how bad the roads may be. or how
rough the weather. our mail is sure to come
if the roads are passable. What more can
we ask than we have? Never in times past
has Uncle Sam been so generous as to put the
mail right on our porches. Surely if we have
little patience all will be right when it once
gets start but all things must have a be-
ginning, so please give it chance, Kickers,
please do.

MY LITTLE SWEETHEART.
ny little sweetheart Of long ago!

my Nttie sweetheart OF long ago!
see her eyes and her wind-tossed hair,
And the long, long way that we used to go
On foot to school when the day was fair,
The morning sun on our faces shone,
And the world before US was all our own.
We crossed the bridge at the end OF the
town.
Beyond the hedges the meadow lay;
We could look across where the sky came
| To the ends OF the earth, and far away
And we thought, for the distance seemed SO
fair,
That surely the gate OF Heaven was there!
We passed. through the quiet woodland dell,
!. Where the great trees met in an arching
screen,
And the glittering, waving sunbsams fell.
Like golden harro vs., the bong his between,
Lighting the moss where the win d-howers
shook.
And the violet SLEPT IN her velvet nook.
Always new was that morning walk;
50 much to think, and so much to say.
How full Of wisdom our grave, sweet talk,
What treasures we found along the way!
Mid all the wealth Ia the haunts OF men,,
Nothing so rare have We found since thenl
A tiny nest, where the eggs were Ave
An empty nest, by the pathways edge;
The myriad creatures that toll and thrive
In messy crevice and nook and ledge
Ant, and spider, and wood-mouse shy.
Butterfly, moth, and dragon-fyl
My little sweetheart Of long ago!
Though school was ended, and LIES sad

Monkey Adopts a Kitten.

One of the most unique sights OF
Juneau, Alaska, aud source OF never
failing interest to tourists who visit
that place, is the tender care OF Miss
Jocko, said to be the only monkey in
Alaska, for little founding kitten:
Miss Jocko belongs to Terry Cohn,
who short time ago placed kitten
in charge of the monkey. She at once
literally took the founding to her
breast and cared for it with all the
sympathy and tenderness peculiar to
the quadramana. When strangers
came near Miss 10 ,ko showed her dis
pleasure by continuous chattering.
and her anxiety was betrayed by the
nervous way in which she folded her
charge in her arms. The only time
she would consent to releasing the
kitty was when her master set out
saucer of milk for it.
The cat got on famously and became
large and fat, but one unlucky day
some one stole it. Miss Jocko was
disconsolate beyond words and re-
fused to be comforted until about the
middle of last month, when little
girl presented her with tiny kitten.
Previously the monkey had re-
jected other. kittens, after losing her
first ward, But this one she took to
her heart. Carefully she looks after
its every want, washes its face. kisses
it at appropriate intervals and at all
times keeps it Immediately free OF
dirt.
At night the mother monkey takes
her feline child and puts it carefully
to sleep in dry goods box, never
failing to cover the kitten with piece
of blanket.
A few days ago Miss Jocko un-
hooked her chain and sought refuge
from the crowd by climbing to the TOP
of porch, never for moment letting
90 of her baby. She folded the little
one in her right arm, squeezing it
until it mewed, then scampered up
post to q place of safety, from which
Mr.. Cohn finally dislodged her. IL
effect this result he was obliged te
climb to the second story, open a win
dow and step out upon the porch
Miss Jocko quickly folded the baby
in her arms and descended.
Miss Jocko has been resident o
Juneau for less than year. She i.
