be typhoid fever. diphtheria, malarial
fever, etc. etc. and the people who
died were a class of people who were
strong and robust and in the prime
of life, the showing would be much
more unfavOrable than if most of
these died Of old age or Of accidents.
Now I have carefully gone over this
record and I find that ten of these
deaths were the result Of accidents,
and that three Of them were murders,
making a total of thirteen; that TWEEN
ty-fve Of these deaths were those of
infants, stillbOrns, or Of premature
or accidents in relation thereto.
1 Twenty-seven of these deaths were of
/ people over sixty years Of age who
had lived out their allotted period Of
time. which makes a total of siXty-fve
deaths that could in no wise be
reckOned with the healthfulness Of the
community
Eliminating these deaths that are
not caused from unhealthful condl-
tiOns, and counting those that We're
( caused BY yellow fever we still have
death record of only 1873 deaths for
4 157 days which is a remarkable show
ing for a city that has been through
the thr0es of a yellow fever epidemic.
/ Eliminating the accidental deaths,
and those of infants and old age and
( the sixty-three deaths ascribed to

that might be ascribed to the UNI

I doubt if there is a city the size of

the deaths from yellow fever and the

I ing it all in all the health record of
i Pensacola is stilI-Detter than that Of
many cities in the United States.
These are facts that are well worth
knowing, and well worth considering,
4 for Pensacola is to-day without a
doubt the healthiest city in the Union.
Although the yellow fever has just

The title "Old Man of the Mountain" was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab bal who founded a formidable dynas- ty In Syria A. n. 109O He was the prince or chief of the sect of the Mo hammedans. Having been banished from his country, he took up his abode in Mount Lebanon, gathered around him a band of followers, who soon be- came the terror alike of Christians, Jews and Turks. They paid the most implicit obedience to his commands and believed that if they sacrificed their lives for his sake they would be rewarded with the highest joys of paradise. For 200 years these "Assas- sins" as they called themselves, con tinued to be the terror of the country. Whenever their chief, the "Old Man of the Mountain" considered himself Injured he dispatched some of his as- sassins secretly to murder the aggres- sor.

 "Strong and business-like representa- tions of Yukou's needs should be made to Ottawa, which governor feels will bring the water relief needed.
 Publications that Ottawa will do as much or more for Yukon as she did in giving s2 800, 900 to develop British O. lumbia lead production.
 Strife heaped on Yukon has set the country back 10 years.
 "Strife must be cut out.
 "New commissioner will not be party to petty squabbles. (Meaning doom of political jobbery in Yukon.)

DON'T BE KNocxER

Don't be c knocker.
 If there Is one thing that is absolute ly incompatible wiLh good citizenship it ls the knocking habit. Itbreeds pes imlsm s a stsgnAnt pool breeds ty- phoid. Persisted in 1t makes the man who indulges 1t miserable and he in turn makes all who come in contact with him miserable.
 The habItuAl knocker Is never satis- ned and he works over time trying to make oshsrs dlscOntsnted. He tries to And something with which to hId fault, and bis mind turns to things that are little and low. He becomes little and low. He makes no friends. He some lime. ,ourrounds himself with fellows in misery and takes what enjoyment he can ln the condition the phrase maker hsd in mind when he coined the saw, "misery loves company" But he knows not happiness,
 It twin not be eontended that it is a mans duty to keep silent if things are not run to suit him. That is not only pot nsesasAry but it is sin almost as unpNrdouable as knocking. If any cit- iEsn disapproves of the manner those who haze sufficient public spirit to take the lead in public matters conduct the affairs of the community 1t is his duty to suggest a better way. Let him go out among his friends with heart full of chserfulness and A smile that will not wear of and be a leader among those who would change ths course of things. If his objections will not stand the test of being submitted on their merits to . candid community then let h'm reflect that probably the fault Is In his own thinking apparatus. He might be mistaken.
