EDUCATIONAL COLUMN Prof. Leo Rapney)

We are glad to note the enthusiasm with which the pupils are entering the literary contest for the three med als now on exhibition at the Ryus drug store. Four pupils of the sixth grade, three of the eighth grade and four from the High School have en- tered. The papers are to be sent to three separate sets of judges and their marks are to be averaged for final grades Because the pupils have not had sufficient training in public speak ing. their papers will be graded in thought and composition only. Sixth grade papers will he marked by sixth grade teachers, eighth grade papers by eighth grade teachers, etc. At the time of the contest Miss Reddings school glee club will sing and Miss Harrington's room will be represent ed. We have planned also to have the one or two best papers written for the contest in Miss Redding's room, read at this time. The pupils of the upper grades have purchased medal for the hest paper produced in Miss Redding's room. The contest will oc- cur in about month.
 The following pupils were neither absent nor tardy during the scho, month of March: Raymond Curtis, Clara Diaz, Theodore Chapman, Louisa Hanson, Amanda Howard, Winnefred Raber, Harold Rudnick, Luella Wakefield, Clyde Doyle, James Doyle, Marie Anderson, Cathillne Curtis, Charley Jones, Bobby Ken nedy, Ethel Whitcomb, Peter Ken nedy, Edward Guttridge, Margaret Chapman, Frances Grant, May Cope land, Amy Hunt, Alma Kirschbaum, Marion Knight, Ollie Pitenger, Joseph Chapman, Eldon Daily, John Heath, Alvie Radenbaugh, Alma Grant, Alice Heath, Lawrence Diaz, Virgil Morgan, John Pankratz, Helen Whit field, Willis Cornell, Zoe Copeland, Norton Mcclellan, John Campbell, Elaine Hunt, Edward Campbell, Hazel Heath, Alma Knight, Byron Whit field, Valoras McWilliams.
 The members of the Fourth and Fifth grades wish to express through this column their hearty appreciation of the generosity of MT. Jenkins. 1 For sometime they have been collect ing money with which to purchase d picture to leave in the school room. Although but half of the price was collected, MT. Jenkins accepted that in payment for the beautiful picture recently exhibited in the Tongass windows. His kindness will not soon be forgotten by the grateful school children.

TELEGRAPH Items of Interest From All Over the World, Told in Short
 Paragraphs

Washington, April 2.-The question of territorial government for Alaska is under consideration today before the territorial committee. Delegate C,le is present, arguing for his bill which provides for, as he states, a lim- ited form of territorial government. He claims that the permanent resi- dents of Alaska are in favor of the bill and that the only ones opposing it are the so-called Alaskans who spend the summer in Alaska and the winter | in the states and whose only claim .o Alaska residence is that they are in- terested in property in that district. Governor Hoggatt is also present. He reiterates his oft repeated assertion that A aska is not far enough advanc- ed to be entitled to territorial govern ment and bases his argument upon the statement that the population of the country does not consist of established esidents but of a transcient element. He also produced a letter which he stated was written by former Judge Wickersham who expresses the opinion that Alaska is not ready to govern herself. Gale states he is express ing the views of the fixed business men of Alaska with the exception of the saloon and gambling element, which is greatly in favor of ter, itorial government.
 Washington, April All opposl- tion to the confirmation of the ap- pointment of Jefferson as postmaster at Valdez, has been withdrawn and the comittee today returned the mat ter of the appointment with favor able recommendation.

LEARN HOW TO FORGET

There is wide and deep philosophy contained in that phraseology of the street.
 Forget it."
 It is as important to forget as to re- member. One is as difficult as the other. And ability along one line is as hard to acquire as the other Both must be cultivated.
 It is impossible to become an opti- mist without learning how to forget.

Local native circles are somewhat agitated by the disappearance of AL fred Auriol, native boy about IS years old son of Joseph Auriol. The boy had been given 5000 by his fath- CT for helping him in piling con- tract and left his home early Saturday evening. He has not returned and nothing has been heard of him, ex- cept that he is said to have been seen in company with some white men Sunday. As he was not very intelli- gent a,d almost entirely blind. it is fe red that he has fallen into the water and been drowned. His father has searched for him and last night a large party of natives looked ail along the beach for the body, without re- suits.

pen and one must train oneself tc wipe them off the mind as the boy wipes the figures from his slate. Hay. ing erased the ugly memories, it is easier to write the pleasant things or the slate of memory. The Indian, for instance, never for gets a slight or an injury. He will wait lifetime to get even. Don't be an Indian. Life is too short to be an Indian.
 The man who considers himself a who lets ignoble hatreds fester in his heart, cannot be happy man. His soul is like crouched tiger, ready to spring upon the victim of his wrath.
 Learn how to forget. If it is easier for you to put on record in your memory personal grievances and to hug an ugly feeling, it is be- cause you have chosen to do so. If you hoard up in your mind the unhap- " episodes of life it is because you have formed the habit of doing so.
 To presist in that habit of mind will make you miserable and a con- firmed grouch. There is nothing noble in such disposition to remem- ber.

 Has some one treated you lily or put slight upon you?
 Forget it.
 Do not let it spoil your happiness. It is a tri1e, light as air. "Scorn to be scorned by one whom I scorn. Is that a matter to make me fret? Is it q matter to cause regret?" Let no mean thing rufile the ser enity Of your soul.
 Forget it.

How TO Cure

1.-THE knife Is not always necessary to
cure even desperate cases of piles" says
q physician whose years and experience
make him an authority. Indeed" he
says further, ~ have known some very
aggravated cases of long standing cured
by simple home remedy that restored

And the doctor is right. as many letters
from cured people in various parts Of

severe surgical operation,
Piles are often due to constipation
and are always aggravated by it, Easy
natural movements Of the bowels such
as are invariably produced by this fam
GUS laxative without pain or grippe do
much to restore a normal. healthy condi.
ton to the bowels and thus cure piles.
NJ. H. Miller, Moweaque, ILL.,, says: u

doctors and numerous remedies, but

he suffered for four years with piles which
were SO bad that he could not work.
Four bottles of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep-
