one another every day. But there is
one great difference. While the plant

your family live in terror of hurting
your feelings, that your friends dread
YOU and that you give US all the eXpe-
rience of skating over thin ice or walk
ing on q rickety bridge? We never are
quite sure that inadvertently we may
not say the wrong thing or omit what
we ought to say or forget n compliment
or stumble across some stone we old
not see. Really, dear child, you are not
a very satisfactory companion. Tears

the doctor. but where shall we find one
to cure n malady which has its root In
the spiritual nature? You must your
SELF recognize the need of treatment,
and, asking God to help you, begin
without delay to be another sort of girl.
For, uncomfortable as the morbid
young woman mny be to others, She
must in the nature of things be more
so to herself-Ladies' Home Journal.

FRFTGHT RATES TO DAWSON
 AGAIN REDUCED
Joint Traffic Arrangement Results in 25 Per Cent Reduction in TransportationTTarltt'
 Reduction Is On River Division

The freight tariffs between skagway and Dawson, and the Sound and Daw- son, have been materially reduced The rate sheets, based upon tho rates agreed upon by the White Pass X Yu- kon route and the ocean steamship lines operating between skagway and the Sound, have been issued and are now in effect. The major portion of the reduction is on the Yukon river division of the White Pass, us the rates from between the Sound and White horse and between skagway and Whitehorse remain the same us last year.
 The rate of reduction in the rates be- tween skagway and Dawson is about 25 per cent. with broader and more liberal "special commodity" rate.
 The following comparisons, based on freight classed as "Class A. which consists Of non-perishables and non- breakable goods, such as staples in groceries, hardware, etc., will give a clearer idea idea Of the new rate:
The daily morning Alaskan., 1903-05-06

such as lumber, hay, feed, paper and certain lines oinon-breakable hardware in shipments of carload lots, are still lower. For instance the rates on lum- Der are one-half the rate quoted. The rate from Skagway on hay in carload lots is s2.37i per 100 lbs and on oats and feed 1925.
 The rate sheet provides among other things;
 "Through bills of lading will not be issued until May l5, but if shippers wish to take advantage of early ship ment, through rates will apply on ship ments made between the date Of issue of this tariff and May l5, to be held at whitehorse for the opening of navi- gation, subject to regular storage rates.
 Shipments covered by through bills of lading issued on or after May 10 will be held lif necesiary) at Whitehores for the opening of navigation free of stor- age.
 shipments destined 10 any point on the Yukon river, except Whitehorse and Dawson, must be prepaid.
 "Through bills Of lading will not be issued later than August 3l.
 Provisions for carload ratings win apply only on shipments to one con signee.'
 The new rate from Skagway to Atlin on "Class A" freight in less than car load lots is s2.05 per lOo lbs and s2,67i for carload lots or more. The through rates from the Sound are 20 cents per 100 or s5 per ton greater. The lumber rate is one-half that of "Class A." with a reduction in other commodities pro. portionate with the reduction 10 Daw- son.
