In written opinion, rendered by Judge Moore of the Second district, in reference to an action begun by the school board of the Nome school dis, trict, praying that writ of mandamus issue against the Nome city council compelling it to turn over to the treas -urer of the school board all monies available for school purposes, the Judge held that neither the city council nor the school board had the power to de- eide how much of the city revenues should be expended on the schools, but this power lay entirely in the hands of the U. s. District Court.

HE TOOK THE HINT

i 4 few months ago, says the Los An geles Times, the son of a railway di- rector was, through his fathers infu- ence, given a position of some import ance on a large railway. He was fresh from Cambridge, and in the orders, which he from time to time issued to the men under him, always made use of the longest, most unusual words. This habit led to some rather expensive blunders, and the matter coming before the general manager, he wrote the young official the following letter:
 "Iu promulgating your esoteric cogi- tations and in articulating your super fcial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological obserya- tions, beware of platitudinous ponder osity. Let your conversational com, munication possess a clarified concise ness, a compacted comprehensibleness, a coalescent consistency and a concat- enated cogency. Eschew all conglom- eration of Aatulent garruIity, jejune babblement and asinine aGectation. Let your extemporaneous descantings and conversation have iutelligibility and veracious vivacity without rhodomon- tade or thrasonical 5ombast. Sedulous- ly avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double entrende, puri- ent jocosity, and postiferous profanity; obscurant or apparent. In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally,sensibly, purely and truthfuIIy. Don't put ou airs; say what you mean; mean what you say, and don't use big words
 The young official took the gentle hint and changed his style.

CRYsTAL FALLS PARK

Shall Douglas have a park? The unanimous answer is yes. Where? Out on the banks of Lawson Creek, scarcely a mile from the center of town, lies a spot of natures own selection. Protected on all sides by high banks, covered with beautiful verdture, this little vista offers inducements to the pleasure seeker. Just here the noun tain stream plunges down over the rocks with a vigorous energy, flashing the crystal waters into foam, and then subsidies into a quiet and contented pool. Two massive bouIders of solid granite, far from their brothers, serve as landmarks; one remains solid, and throughout the long ages since some mighty glacier carried it on its busom to its resting place, has stubbornly resisted all efforts of the elements to dissolve It. The other and weaker brother has not fared so we'll, and is cleft from top to bottom; and lies as a mute evidence of the terrible conflict.
 At the last meeting,of the City Coun- sil sum of money was appropriated, sufficient to cut a trail to the park and partly clear of brush and fallen timber. 1t is the desire of those especially inter ested in the subject that small park house be erected, as a protection to pie nickers in case of rain, and that num- erous rustic benches be placed at inter- vals along the trail and in the park.
 We believe that the people of Doug las Island will all be interested in this new departure. It has been suggested that on some bright day the park and the trail be made the scene of an old fashioned Bee" That the men and boys be invited to come armed with axes, shovels, saws and picks, to spend the day in the woods, improving the grounds and enjoying the outing. The ladies are to be asked to help also by bringing the dinner and serving it to the hungry workers and adding to the pleasure of the occasion by their bright smiles and lovely faces.
 Already splendid trail has been cut from the edge of the cemetery plat down to Lawson creek. The Cemetery Gommitte has promised to help the project by improving the trail within the cemetery enclosure. All the scheme lacks is the support of those most to De benef1tted-the people-and that it will surely have.

THE OFFICEs OF THE MINISTER

THE OtflCbo Op IIlI 4uAANA'1A " The Preacher is the steward of God, the messenger of mercy, and the ser want of the church.
 His commission is from heaven, his calling from on high, his qualifications divine.
 The scriptures, his armory; righteous ness his vesture; truth his girdle; saliva tion his helmet; and faith his shield.
 His message, mercy; his theme Jesus; his glorying, the cross; his aim human salvation.
 With heart of benevolence, bowels of compassion, and conscience of f- delity.
 With clear perception, discerning judgment, a magnanimous spirit, and an enduring perseverance.
 Favored with the eagles eye, the lions courage, the oxen's strength, hu- manity's tenderness, and seraph's love.
 Faithful to his soul, jealous to God, and compassionate to men.
 Heavenly in his asperations, diSinter- ested in his motives, generous in his emotions, and devotional in his spirit. A lover of good men, hater of in- iquity.
 Not greedy of money, not thirsting for power, not eager for fame, not giv- en to wine.
 SeIf-denying in life, uuwearied in toll, uncompromising in principle, and instant in season and out.
 The guardian of youth, the counselor of the perplexed, the consoler of sor- row. the visitor of the afflicted, the ad- vocate of the widow, the friend of all, the enemy of none.
 Holding forth the word of light, breaking the bread of life, dispensing the healing virtues of the cross, and proclaiming to the wretched the accept able year of the Lord.
 His subjects from heaven, in their source; of heaven, in their revelationsj and to heaven, in their tendency.
 His style clear, his thoughts we'll or dered, his enuuciation distinct, his manner earnest, and his language plain. Not exhibiting self, but Christ; Christ always, and Christ--all in all.
 Not the minister of mystery, butrev- elation: not a herald of dispair, but of hope; not clad in the babiliments of sorrow, but of joy.
 Enlightening the ignorant, cheering the penitential, comforting the dis tressed. reproving the wayward, ad- monishing the thoughtess, warning the reckless, and threatening the ob- durate.
 Preaching hope to the self.eondemn- ed. abasement to the proud, spiIituali- ty to the formal, and heaven of rest and bIesscdness to the renewed pil- grims and sojourners of earth.
 This is my reply to the oft-repeated and disputed question, "What are the offices of the minister"
