1--WE are reading too much we have
no time for thinking" said a college
president recently. The reading world
admits the truth-and reads on. The
world has gone reading mad, Daily
the great presses turn out newspapers
bigger than books, records Of stealing
murders and scandal, and on Sunday
come out five times as big and matter
frequently five times as nasty, and the
people swallow it all with their break
fast and long for more. Nay, so great
is the demand for speed that tree is
cut down, sawed into blocks, ground to
sawdust, made into dried paste and Il
newspaper printed on it all in forty-six
minutes by the watch. The paper is
scanned in half the time and thrown
away forever-for what is so ancient as
yesterdays newspaper? And to amuse
themselves between papers, the people
read books. Vitellius, emperor of
Rome, loved the pleasures Of the table
so we'll that when filled to surfeit he
would vomit in order to continue eat
ing. In like manner must modern read
ing gluttons do-when the brain is fill
cd, to make room for more they must
forget. If forgetfulpess is the end of
all the sudden love of reading, better
were it to return to the days when
books and newspapers were scarce as
gold in the house of poverty, for then,
though few, what books there were,
were thoroughly read and remembered.
And one book remembered is worth a
hundred read but to be forgotten.

The death of Lorenzo Snow, president

this is Gods peculiar land and that the
heavenly city of Zion will be built on

president, the Mormons can in few
years at their present rate of growth,

Ole Anderson, while drunk, walked into the Last Chance saloon in Skag- way one evening last week, with knife in his hand and said he gloried in the spunk of the man who killed President Mckinley. Joe Murray, we'll known longshoreman, invited him out doors, which invitation was accepted, and gave him a good beating.
 A party of Is prospectors were re- gently picked up by the revenue cutter Bear on the shore of Kotzebue Sound, penniless and destitute. They went in with the first rush to that country in 1898, and have been there ever since. During that time they failed to find more than few colors of gold.
 The White Horse Star of Oct. says tbat Mir. Robert Smart has just receiv- ed word from his partners on Bear creek, sixty miles up the Hootalinqua, that they have succeeded in reaching bed rock on their claims and that the ground is proving very rich. A stam- pede is on from the Big Salmon to Bear creek.
 There promises to be greater develop ments in the interior next year than there ever was before. The Tanana, the White river district and the Koyukuk will all turn out big. When the wealth of those places become known abroad another grand rush North will be the result.
 What is described as the largest and richest body of pay gravel ever discov- cred in the history of the world, has been located on the head of Grouse gulch, on the left fork of Dexter creek, in the Nome district. The pay streak is 75 feet deep and averages 9 cents to the pan.
 The largest nugget yet found in Northwestern Alaska was brought to light on Anvil creek, between discovery and No. below. It weighed nearly four pounds, is five inches long and is valued at s75o.
 MT. Brimley, who has been looking over Alaska with view to establishing another steamer line between Skagway and Sound points, thinks he has re- ceived enough encouragement to justify the venture.
 The Skagway fire department is after the city council with questions, as to who would pay the fiddler if another Nero were to appear and make Skag- way the scene of his operations.
 Skagway business men in order to pass the time away, form pools and bet upon the hour of arrival of steamers from the south. Some of the pools run up as high as S150.
 There is said to be vast stretches of land along Bristol Bay and in the Cook Inlet country that would produce most anything that can be grown in a North ern cline.
 The steamer Humboldt on her arrival in Seattle Oct. 2nd had on board the second largest shipment of Klondike gold of the season. It amounted to s1,OO0,ooo.
 skagway citizens are putting up their storm doors and windows, and other wise preparing for winter. They get the genuine article up that way occas- ionally,
 As winter approaches, the usual stories of destitution and want among the miners in outlaying sections of Northwestern Alaska, begin to come South.
 Mr. and Mrs. Murry, of Sullivan City, Nome district, were robbed of s60O0in dust and bills not long since.

Great Poetry

Incomprehensibility is a modern test
of poetry. In the current Review of
Reviews" Mr.. William NJ. Payne con
tributes five pages concerning The
Poetry and Criticism of 1901" The
author says of the only long quotation
taken from The Masque of Judgment
by Mr.. VIM. Vaughn Moody. that IL Is

Sieger and harrier.
Beyond the moon. of thine own builded
town,
Each morning won. each eve impregnable,
Each noon evanished sheer
Mr. Payne says of the foregoing: Il
should not know where else in recent
poetry to look for the match to these
verses, or to the entire work with its
meIodiOus and sympathetic portrayal
of life's wild and various bloom, of
passion and aspiration. of alternating
defeat and victory, of the COmmingling
of sense and spirit that makes of our
existence so confused a web OF self
contradictions, yet somehow suggests a
parent to the transCendental vision"
Many kindly readers of these col
umns have in the past been benevolent
enough to supply the present observer
with keys to jokes and humorous read
ings of obscure passages. Comment on
this blank verse will be highly appre-
ciated. Doubtless it is clear To most
readers. but | am sure there is "A small
contingent who do not quite Compre-
hcnd it For such as these outside help
is much needed and from college
community like this it will doubtless be
furnished. Considering that the lines
challenge comparison with the greater
achievements of English poetry" ac-
cording to Mr.. Payne, who speaks as
one having authority, the need of be-
ing able to fully appreciate them is
apparent.

her country's sake and for Madam
Grundy the Queen forgives the Prus-

The money is not of much consequence
and it was not the money that the

dependence upon her which disgusts
any woman, queen or commOner.
Now that America is of so much i'm
portance in the world, | wonder the
queens and princesses of Europe do
not consider the eligibility of Ameri-
can men. A real American gentleman
is the most loyal, chivalrOus, self-cOn-

remaining from departed feudalism
President Mckinley was a shining eX-
ample of this kind of American. a king
with no visible sceptre, but enthroned
in the hearts of womankind who do not
need to be whipped into submission.
And speaking of German women, the
old-time subservience is departing.
They used to be grateful as dogs after
a whipping, but they have begun to
wonder if it is true that they are di-
vinely appointed to suffer abuse and
to reverence a master.
William E. Curtis, the correspondent
of The Record Herald" who has been
taking notes in the countries of
Europe, says that although the women
of Germany are under excellent dis
cipline the feminine will is beginning
to assert itself in a manner unknown
to the last generation. Social restric-
tions are being gradually relaxed.
German girls are allowed larger hber-
ties than their mothers enjoyed, al
though their matrimonial destiny is
still arranged for them. Education.
travel and the American example are
potent influences in accomplishing the
change from slave to woman. The ad-
mission of women to the German uni
yersities, the establishment of schools
for their higher education. the advent
of woman in political affairs and her
admission to the management of char
table institutions have all combined
to give the sex confidence in them
selves and have inspired desire TO
extend their mental. moral and social
horizon"
