The Ketchikan Journal contains a wall from some socially ostra- cised correspondent. lamenting ing over the fact that "a small aggregation styling themselves the '40U will intentionally and mali ciously band together, and for spite, neglect some of the people whose endeavors toward Ketchi- kan's welfare have always been given with a free hand," etc. These petty social squabbles are to be seen in all Alaska towns, but this is the first instance coming to our observation where they were taken seriously and made a mat ter of comment in the papers.

There is one federal plum vacant in this section that does not appear to be hankered after by the ever hungry politician. This is the po- sition of poll tax collector or road commissioner. Under the last fed eral act, the citizens st Alaska are supposed to pay eight dollars Ter year poll tax, but so far no one has filed an application for the position At Haines recently the poll tax collector put all the cannery China men in jail for failnre to do their share towards public roads. The Chinamen said mo sabe."

A NEW YEARS LONG AGO.
BY ROY FARRELL GREENE,

BY ROY FARRELL GREENE,
There were gallant beaux around her, each
an homage due to pay.
There were Calhoun's firm disciples and the
followers OF Clay;
Men of strength who mold nation and its
future course outline
Build a structure for their children and our
children-yours and mine.
They had gathered there together; they
had come from far and near,
To trip a last gay measure ere the passing
of the year;
And whilom cares were banished as they
glided to and fro,
When grandma tread the minuet one New
Years long ago.
Rival statesmen turned from labor of d.
plomacy to steal
rest within the mazes of an old Virginia
reel,
And the friends of abolition by each act and
word Of mouth
Expressed the bond of kinship with the
sclons of the south
1t was midnight when the music from the
belfry tower stole
To aid of swelling violins, a most harmoni-
Gus whole,
And the old year passed with pitpats from
each tripping heel and toe,
When Grandma tread the minuet one New
Years long ago.
How they danced a hearty welcome to the
year but newly born,
How the hours seemed shorter as 1t nearer
grew to morn,
How the music ebbed receded, with glor,
in it's tide
That filled the hearts. the pulses. till in 90
stacy 1t died!
All. the gown she wore has faded, and I
tad0mant'a found at last
Along with memories, midewed In tho at
tics OF the past.
Yet hearts are warm with fellowship ~
were the hearts. trow,
When grandma tread the minuet one New
Years long ago.

None of his acquaintances, old or
new, could ever furnish the slightest
information as to his means of sup
port. No one ever heard of his being
in any trouble, or of his having caused
anyone else trouble.
When asked what he was doing he
answered.: II walk nights to keep
from sleeping, and sleep days to keep
from eating" and with no further ar
gument he managed to change the sub
ject.

not exceed two months, during which
time he was, as rule. the Zion" of

The first person | saw was this man
standing with his back to the bar, and
two young men standing in front OF
him, both executing blows upon his
already battered countenance. Observ-
ing that the poor fellow was ready tc
collapse, quickly interfered. and soor
had him out of reach. after which
I returned to the barroom. Severa
men told the cause of the rumpus.
This. 1t seems, was his second visii
to Jackson. On his previous stay the
"boys" thought they had gotten on tt
his graft and now they were sure the,
were right. the result of which was {
sound thrashing.

one was treating at the bar, and nevel
failed to be one of the party. when thu
boys of the town were out for

when the Toledo baseball team found
him here one of the members wired the
Toledo tailors of mis- whereabouts, and

touring on the Pacific coast, he visftSf
the University of Washington, at Seat
tie. Prof o. B. Johnson was at that
time one of the leading lights of the col

interested in him. During the course OF
a conversation the eastern president
asked the western man what chair he
held. "Well," said Prof. Johnson. Il am

attention OF the man who had done
the treating. In many instances the
latter would notice what had occurred,
but inasmuch as he had perhaps only
recently met the distinguished looking
parsonage. rather than cause him the
slightest humiliation, and believing 1t
a mistake, he said nothing about 1t.
During his first stay in Jackson he
was fairly lionized by the best young
people there. and had successfully
played his graft for four or five weeks
before any of the boys had dropped
on to his game. After they began to
discuss the matter several of the bar
tenders admitted that they had OBJ
served his methods, but as he was n
good mixer and profitable to have
around, they remained silent.
One bartender declared that he kept
account of the amount he had raked off
in one evening, when a dozen or more
of the FOUNDERS" of the city were
buying drinks at his bar, and 1t
amounted to over ten dollars within
a space of three hours. and not soul
