 When the governor left Alaska last fall the Alaskan bade him bon voyage and expressed the belief that we could get along very we'll while he was away, and advised him to stay as long as he wished.

Juneau is following in line and calling out for the removal of uu- slightly things to be replaced with things slightly. Dawson began the work early in the spring and the read ing of the Dawson News indicates that much has been done. Every stroke of this kind speaks of civic pride, is the substantial manifestation of the pstri- osiSm of locality, and, while making full return to the citizen in a great addition to the joy Oi living, adverlises to the casual visitor by signs unmis- takeble, the CHARACTER of the citizenship. Surely this is worth while.

The Hunted Bird.

that which many good people believe.
that In an invasion of the quiet wood
and field he ruthlessly forces into the
life of bird and animal new element
Of dread, shadowing their very exist

all Of the Joy of living, writes Lewis s.
WEIGH, In the Atlantic. Quite plainly
true is 1t that the gun is signal Of
danger; that the gun dog is an animal
to be feared by those whom he loves
to hunt; that the approach of man is
the approach of possible enemy.
Man and dog and gun are signs to the
bird that 1t is well to fly and to seek
some other less disturbed resting
place. This is not a pleasant thing
for the bird; it is often very inconveni-
emit; but that 1t means hysteria of fear
and cataclysm of feeling is beyond my
understanding. Watching birds when
the game is on gives me no ground for
believing that the disturbance of what
they may possess in the way of feeling
is anything more than momentary, or
more than one experience out of thou
sands which come into their lives
every season and against which by
nature they are forearmed

but the purity and activity of the at.
mosphere depend upon the warming
rays Of the sun, while our bodies re-
quire light for their healthy stimula-
ton. 1t Is well known that without
solar heat there can be no proper
vegetable growth. and it is equally
necessary for the beauty and perfec-
ton Of animal development 1t be-
hooves US, therefore, declares the New
York Weekly, to see that our homes
are open to the suns rays and are

HeaIthfuI Play.

The Playground Association OF
America recently gave notable pub
lie dinner in honor of Mrs. Humphry
Ward of London. Mrs. Ward was well
coined not as the brilliant novelist,
but as the leader in the movement for
wholesome recreation for London chill
dren. Mrs. Ward, the duchess of MARI
borough and Miss Jane Adams were
the principal speakers. An earnest
plea was made that American women
emulate English women in their sense
of actual obligation to the whole civic
body. Many young women here take
up philanthropy as a diversion, and
drop It when social or domestic de-
mands become more attractive. In
England there is a large class of wo-
men who accept individual response
bility for the public good as the condi-
ton Of their fortunate heritage. No
public betterment is more prolific Of
good, says the Youths Companion,
than that of free open spaces where
children may play under intelligent
guidance and inspiration. It,is a sad
fact that thousands of children need to
be taught how to enjoy themselves.
The playground in the crowded city,
equipped for games and athletic exer-
cises. is a veritable godsend to the
child whose only refuge from the dark
tenement is the dirty and dangerous
street The Playground association
and Mrs. Ward stand for improved de-
velopment for country as well as city
children. One result of the movement
Is the generous field near the school
house, cut up into small lots, where
each child may do his own gardening.
The delights of skill applied to this
miniature farming are far-reaching In
their influence. Moreover, intelligent
adaptation of sports to the physical re-
Quirements of children is needed in vii
Sage as in city. Finally, the playground
''dea is spreading from school to fac
tory and shop. A great assemblage OF
prominent men and women discussing
all the aspects of these important
questions gives promise Of future not
merely Utopian, but practical, when
all indoor toll shall be sweetened by
outdoor play.
