Made Her Tired.

On "a recent voyage of one of the large steamships that ploughs the waters of the Inland Passage between here and the Sound, a sweet little motherly lady was aboard, bound for Sitka. At one of the little cities to the southward, the vessel stopped few hours to wait for the rising tide. A young lady came aboard representing some kind of a religious denomination, who have taken it upon themselves to convert the "hea- then" of Alaska. Approaching the lady mentioned she opened up the con- versation by asking in loud voice:
 "Areyou a Christian?"
 "Why, I hope so," came the reply from the lady, in quiet, humble man. ner. My husband was minister"
 But the self-appointed mentor was not satisfied. "Have you ever been converted?"
 "I was brought up in the church and cannot remember the time when was not Christian"
 "It makes no difference" persisted the young woman. "If you have not been converted, you are lost"
 The dear little old lady turned away, and there was the least suspicion of a smile on her face as she remarked: 'sI have always been Christian, but l never saw any need to go into convul- sions about it."

Now the Topeka.

The City of Topeka, Capt. Olsen, en- countered terrible storm last Satur- day evening, just opposite the southern extremity of Douglas Island. The wind came bowling out of Taku Inlet at ve- locity of 50 miles an hour. It was a terrible sea and the night was as black as printers ink. However, the Topeka weathered the gale and had reached the smoother waters to the north, and the passengers and crew were congratulat- ing themselves on their escape, when suddenly their progress was stopped by a collision with an immense iceberg.
 With a less efficient master, panic might have ensued, but the gallant Capt. Olsen and Pilots Jenson and Ed wards were all at their posts. Realiz- ing that great peril might be imminent, the captain called the crew forward and in a very few minutes the life boats were swinging in their davits and blankets, provisions and life preservers were piled out, ready for the worst that might come. The fears of the passen- gers were calmed and everything was in perfect order.
 A careful investigation revealed no great damage to the ship, but here again the captain showed his good judgment and anchored his ship until daylight Sunday morning. Juneau was reached about 6:3O and after laying a few hours she came over to Douglas Is land and tied up until Monday morn ing when she went on the beach to as certain fully the extent of the damages
 On going on the beach at Treadwell it was discovered that the injuries to the Topeka were such that it would be dangerous to continue her voyage and her passengers and freight were trans 'fered to the Senator, and the Topeka returned to the Sound.

Life in Death.

Sing me the song no poet yet has ehanted' Sing me the universal,
 In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and slas, Nestles the seed perfection.
 Ss What do you think has become of the young
 and old men?
 And what do you think has become ot the
 women and children? They are alive and well somewhere. The smallest sprout shows there Is REALLY no
 death,
 And if ever there was, it led forward life, and
 does not
 Wait at the end to arrest it, And ceas'd the moment life appeard. All goes onward and outward, nothing col
 lapses,
 And to die is different from what any one
 supposed, and luckier."
 WALT. WHITMAN The grim reaper, Death, has been busy lately in our community, among the little loved ones, and we offer this tribute of sympathy to the parents whose heart-strings of love have been snapped-with the thought that at our own door the fateful call of "next" may come. When death has come to those who are dear to us, there comes also a sense of the closeness of that Eter- nal part in them, which we had felt during life, and with it knowledge that this is the real part of our lost one, not the outward form, faded by the waste of mortality.
 The truth that the unseen world is the real, taught us by the seemingly cruel hand of death, once learned-our interest in it, oneness with it and near ness to it once established in our con- sciousness, death is no longer dreary blackness stretching across the sky of life, we have become reconciled to it., found in it new world where a real part of us already dwells. This knowl' edge is the last, best gift to us, from our dead loved ones. *x

Accident to the Fisher
 man.

On the early morning trip of the Lone Fisherman last Sunday, an acci- dent occurred that resulted in serious predicament. Just as the boat reached the Douglas slip the reversing gear got out of order and when she struck the slip steam pipe burst. A cloud of scalding steam filled the cabin, causing the passengers to stampede for the float. Some were lucky enough to jump and light on the float, but, as the boat immediately sheered off, others dopped into the icy waters of the chan nel. Mrs. J, J. Penglase and Mrs. 0. \. Hopp and daughter, Leah, reached the float in safety. Miss Hildur Lilystrand was one of the unfortunate ones, but a man standing on the float reached from the float and grasped her hand, and, with the assistance of friend pulled her up on the float. Two men whose names we did not learn also fell into the water, were assisted to the float by bystanders.
 The Fisherman floated helplessly out into the channel where she was picked up by the steamer Philip F. Kelley and lowed to Juneau. Her injuries were re- paired aud she was back on the run af- ter a few hours.

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be

is very marked, and her experience
with the old soldiers of the G. A. r. is
wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow to take
advantage of anything that may bene-
fit the veterans, and her zeal has re-
suited in much that is good to these
grand old men. She writes of her ex-
periences: Honor to whom honor is
due, and having seen the numerous
cures effected through the use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, I gladly endorse them as
being particularly effective to cure that
dreaded disease of so many of u old

Women are too prone to accept un-
necessary evils with a ready resigna-
ton. while men have a better under
standing Of the art of happiness" said
Nine. Sarah Grand in a lecture on
"The Art Of Happiness" recently.
Idleness, she said, is one of the worst
enemies of happiness, and among
women the desire to work is not so
common as to be discouraged, he in
ehectual life of many women being
one OF the saddest features of the pres
emit day. Nine. Grand strongly adj
vised parents to give their children,
sons and daughters alike, the opportu-
nifty to follow their instructive pro-
elivities in the way of life work, be-
cause there is joy in congenial work
and ~congenial play.
The chances for happiness, she said,
outweigh the chances of misery, every
function of mind and body inclining
toward pleasure and to the avoidance
OF pain. Happiness is to be found in
the simpler modes of life, not in ex-
element, which is only it's imitation.
In all recipes for happiness goodness
must be the principal ingredient, the
others which go to form a truly happy
life being fidelity in friendship, love
and marriage, affection between pa
rents and children, moral courage,
courtesy and perfect sincerity.
