At thearegular assembly this norm
ing Judge Melville c.. Brown, formerly
of Alaska, gave a very entertaining
talk upon The Great Northwest" His
description of the journey from the
Yellowstone valley to Nome was one
of sustained interest, and with unusual
c~leverness the learned lawyer gave
pictures of sleepy British cities, old
Russian buildings, mountain scenery
and lively mining camps. But better
than these stories of travel was the
little sermon which he drew from the
fact that most Of the gold from Alas
ka's mines goes into the hands of the
saloonkeeper and professional gambler.
He presented in an unusually clear and
~forceful way that the real opportunities
in life lie not in the search for hidden
ores, but in the more stable and con-
ventional walks of life.

ABOUT BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.

1t is a notable fact that building as.
sociations pass through panics with
less annoyance, trouble and loss than
any other financial institutions. Dur
ing the panic of 1898, probably the
greatest the world has ever seen, there
was only a trifing loss to the mutual
building associations. The reason for
this is plain. Their stock is distribut
ed among the large number Of people
and their expenses are almost nothing.

NOTHING BUT BIG SECRETARY

seen but the big secretary. The out

of action, possessing craftsmanship in
high degree. 1t is not by reason of
any spoken words of his that the peo-
ple are flocking to his standard.
Rather it is the record of his long,
brilliant and faithful public service.
Such men as he push themselves to
the front by sheer force of ability-by
the capacity for work, the unerring
judgment to take the right side of
public questions and the courage to
act according to the dictates of that
Judgment.
That Taft is the man the party and
the people want for president Of the

line with which this vibrant little
body creates forms of beauty as she
dances. But in the work OF poet,
painter, and the sculptor there would
still be that something lacking which
the living presence gives, the ever
changing exquisitely moving elo-
quence of motion. But what quail
flying adjectives ought one 10 use TO

pers have not been as frank to adj
nit their inability to do Justice to
the "ball Of thistledom." Obviously,
they have all tried to weave gar
land Of beautiful phrases to place at
the sylphish feet of this extraordinary
girl, like one London reviewer who
wrote:
IF 1 could dance a criticism of

unfortunately one cannot dance a
criticism. And, after ALL there is no
need Of criticism. Qualifying adject-
ives might serve"
From out Of this will come the as

swarm around the employment agen-
cles and the offices of musical com
edy managers, all claiming to do the
Genee pirouette just as well as the
original. Some managers will fan

ones. S. i. Rock, who employees
more dancers for his Coming Thro'

companies than any other musical
comedy manager in the country, was
an interested spectator at the Genee
first night. When it was all over he
said, This dancer is worth twenty
