luxury OF green leaves and the Intoxicating funeSS
of life. The summer earth is like some voluptuous
enchantress, all ardor and perfume, and soft dazzle
of NOTED sunshine. But the beauty of winter
seems a spiritual, almost a supernatural thing
austere and forbidding at first, but a nearer
approach found to be rich in exquisite e1hiaration
in and lofty discoveries and satisfactions of
the soul Winter naturally has found less favor
with the poets than the other seasons. Praise of
it has usually strained air, as though the poet
were making the best of barren theme, like a
portrait-painter reluctantly fattering some I'M
attractive sitter But one poet has seen and seized
the mysterious beauty of winter with enforced
ympathy-Coventry Patmore, whose "Odes," in
particular, containing they do some of the most
rarely Spiritual meditation in English poetry, are
all too little known. In one of these he has these
beautiful lines, which l quote, l hope correctly,
from memory:
|, singularly moved
To love the lovely that not beloved
OF all the seasons, most love winter, and to trace
The sense of the Trophonian pallor of her face.
1t is not DEATH but pentude of peace;
And this dim cloud which doth the earth enfold
Hath less the characters of dark and cold
Than light and warmth asleep
And intermittent breathing still doth keep
With the infant harvest heaving soft below
Its elder coverlet of snow.
The beauty of winter is like the beauty of certain
austere classics of literature and art and as with

wind and its ice-in-the-pail But,
and once out of doors on a sunlit
g, how soon are we finding out the
e making coddling ourselves in the
doors, indeed, the prospect had it's
ChrlStmaS-Card pictureSqueness;
snow-clad roofs, snow-laden
boughs, silhouetted tracery of
leat1ess trees; but we said that it
was a soulless spectacular display,
the beauty of death, and the
abhorred GOODNESS thereof. We
have hardly walked a hundred
yards, however, before impress
sions very different are crowding
upon us, among which the i'm
preston of cold is forgotten, or
only retained as pleasantly height
ening the rest.
Far from the worlds being dead,
as it had seemed indoors, we are
presently, in some strange indefin-
able way, made intensely con-
sC1OuS of a curious overwhelming
sense of life in the air, as though
the crystal atmosphere was, so to
say, ecstatically charged with the
invisible energy of spiritual forces.
In the enchanted stiffness of the
snow, We seem to hear the very
breathing of the spirit of life.
The cessation of all the myriad
little sounds that rise SO merrily
and so unsteady from the summer
surface of the earth seems to
allow us to hear the solemn beat
OF the very heart of earth itself.
We seem very near to the sacred
mystery of being, nearer than at
any other season of the year, for
IN other seasons we are distracted
by its pleasurable phenomena,
but in winter we seem close to
the very mystery itself; for the
world seems to have put on robes
of pure spirit and assembled into
a diviner ether.
The very phenomena of winter
have a spiritual air which those
of summer lack, a phantom-like
strangeness. How mysterious this
ice, how ghostly this snow, and all
the beautiful fantastic shapes
taken by both; the dream-like
foliage, and feathers and furs of
the snow, the gothic diablerie of
the fairy fancies OF, the frost, the
laPes that hang the brook-side with
tan glass, the strange flowers that
, the windows, even while we watch
lseen hand! No flowers of summer
as these, make us feel so weirdly
mystery of life. AS the ghostly
pane, is it not as though spirit
n through the shining morning, we

planted upon the earth so stern a
tyranny SO invincibly Fashioned
to the cowed and conquered eye
And against all this marble and
blood and bronze, what frail fan
tastic attack is this? What
quaint expedition from fairy-land
that comes SO insignificantly
against these battlements on which
the Roman helmets catch the
setting sun?
a Star in the Sky. Some Shop
herds from Judea. Three Wise
Men from the East. Some Frank
incense and Myrrh. A Mother
and Child.
Yes, fairy-tale procession-hut
these are to conquer Rome, and
that child at his mothers breast
has but to speak three words, for
all that marble and bronze to melt
away: Love One Another"
1t may well have seemed an
almost ludicrous weapon-three
gentle words. So one might
attack fortress with d flower.
But Rome fell before them, for all
that, and cruel as the world still
is, so cruel world can never be
again. The history Of Christianity
from Christ to Tolstoi is the his
tory of ghost-story; and as
Rome fell before the men it
martyred, SO Russia has been
compelled at last to open it's
prison doors by the passive i'm
perative of the three gentle words.
Stone and iron are te~'ibly strong
to the eye and even 20 the arm of
man, but they are as vapor
before the breath of the soul.
Many enthroned and magisterial
authorities seem so much more
important and powerful than the
simple human heart, but let the
trial of strength come, and we see
the might of the delicate invisible
energy that wells up out Of the
infinite mystery to support the
dreams of man.
Christmas is the friendly human
announcement of this ghost1y
truth; its holly and boar s-head are

BY Margaret Gebbie Hays

Just see what dear old Sanity Claus
Has brought for little me,
An just because I've been the coolest
Girl that could be.
I've eaten all the nasty crusts
Each day with my nice bread,
An always went without a word
When mother dear said: "Bed !"
An now I'm oh, so glad did
For only look an see,
For being such nice good girl
What Sanity did for me.

The Three Words; the Gospel of the Unseen Love
And how well has the church chosen this par
tcular season of the year for this most subt1y
Spiritual of all its festivals so subtle because its
ghostly message is 50 ruddily disguised in human
mlrth and thus the more unconsciously operative in
human heartsl
Winter, itself ghostly thing, so spiritual
in its beauty indeed the season to catch our
ears with this ghost-story of the Invisible and
Invincible Love. The other seasons are full of
sensuous charm and seductiveness. With endless
variety of form and color and fragrance they
weave =" a fowery band to bind us to the earth"
They running with the pride of sap the

 Words for SkagWay

To the Editor:-Sometimes delay Of a week waiting for a boat becomes very trksome, but must admit that Skag. way has its attractions in many ways, that help to pass the time away. h the first place your office clerks are eI- ceptionaIly congenial to stranger, and coming from Dawson 6 word of cheer or information about general matters, given with an air of socisbility, is very cheering. Your Fifth Avenue hotel has this welcome to the.trayeler-heat- ed as it is with moderation, with a pile of late magazines and periodicals to peruse anda bang at the piano occasion ally by the worthy (it beats the phono- graph in my opinionl. The restaurants come in for credit. As for climate well l enjoy the mild, salty air, with an occasional breeze from the north. Your natural scenery of lofty peaks capped with snow, is particularly grand.
 F wish your and you town town a merry Christmas, as I leave on the Jefferson. I shall look back at Skag- way as & place where I spent a very pleasant, happy weeks and my wife joins me iu this sentiment.

So far, only one paper in Alaska has endorsed the presidents contentious tha, the elective franchise should be conferred upon Alaskan Indians. That is the Sitka Alaskan, inspired by Gov. Brady.

Every citizen of Skawsy should give something to the fund to deiray the expresses of Coy. Swinefcrd at Wash ington. None should refuse to give be- cause he feels that he cannot afford to give s5 or SlO or more. Let everyone give just what be feels that he can af- ford, even if the amount be Sl or less The principal thing is to make 1t 8 popular subscription, and that means one in which everybody is represented.

AS TO CAN ADA.

A Cans dian reader of the Daily Alaskan has accused this paper of be- ing prejudiced against Canada. That is not true. This paper has criticised some Canadian laws and coudemed the manner of the enforcement of others by some officials, just as it has done with American laws and American ad ministrators. l. has done that because it's field as a newspaper is partly Cana dian, and for that reason Canadian at fairs, in part, are its affairs, just as are American matters its concern. The fact is, because the Cally Alaskcn is an American rapsr it has been much more free in criticising the United States than 1t has Canada.
 This paper is far from being prejudiced toward Canada It regards Canada as a government and Canadians as people so highly that, while Amer ican to the core, it would hail the union of that country and the United States as a consummation greatly to be desired; one that would magnify the great virtues of the two countries and tend to eliminate tho weaknesses and crudities Of both.

WONDERFUL CURE
 OF SORE HANDS
Ry cutlcura After the gost Awful SuffeFlng
 Ever Experienced
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed to do a Cents Worth
 of Good

Twas troubled with sore hands, SO aore that when would put them in water the pain would nearly set me crazy, the skin would peel off and the flesh would get hard and break. There would be blood flowing from at least fifty places on each hand. Words could never tell the suffering I endured for three years. I tried everything, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none did me any good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when I began. 1 also tried many remedies, but none of them ever did me one cents worth of good. I was discour- aged and heart-sore. would feel so bad mornings, to think l had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours I often feltlik giving up my position; Before I started to work l would have to wrap every finger up sep arately, so as to try and keep them soft. and then wear gloves over the rags to keep the grease from getting on ruy work. At night I would have to wear gloves; in fact, had to wear gloves all the time. But thanks to Cuticura, that is all over now.
