JUST STAYING HERE.

The only trouble with Douglas Is- land, and, in fact, all of Alaska that we know anything about, is that so many never get over the idea that they are only here for few months or few years at the most and when their fortunes are made they will hike back to the states in hurry and will thea begin to enjoy life.
 There never was more foolish mis- take. ..,'
 We know a man who has lived right here on Douglas Island for almost dozen years, and all the time he has delnded himself with the idea that some day he would go hack to the Sound and begin to Iive.. All the beauty of the mountains, the sky and and the sea are spoiled by the thought that the time to enjoy life has not come yet. Wait until we go back. And his hair is growing winter as he waits.
 There is another kind Of a man on Douglas Island, and he works from early morning until late at night. every spare minute of time is devoted to making his home more beautiful. What was that word? Home? Yes, his home is here, and he never says a word about going away. What ter rible thing it is to have no place to call home Let the past and the future take care of themselves, we only have the present, let us enjoy it.-Douglas News.
