THE ALCHEMY OF SUCCESS

There have no, been many prettier illustrations Of the truth o' the saying, "nOthing succeeds like success" than that offered by those boys that compose the Juneau base ball club. The boys were allowed to leave Juneau to meet whiteborse without so much as word of encouragement-the people of Ju- neau deprecated their effort, character ized 1t as foolhardy, and some laughed at them as the boat sailed away from the wharf-So the boys themselves say. At any rate they were allowed to pay their fares and the entire expense of the trip out of their own pockets, They bea, Whitehorse hands down, sud took home second money-iust about enough to reimburse them.
 But in the meantime note the change in the temper of Juneau. The boys were met at the landing with a brass band, the populace turned out enmasse- aud marched through the streets like a lot oi maniacs by way of doing honor to those whom they had sent away wi a shrug of the shoulder. Such is the re- spect men pay to those who do things; such charm Is distilled in seven little letters; such is the alchemy of SUC- CESS.

LET'S DRESS UP OUR BAND

The skagway band submitted peti- tiou to the city council last evening set ting forth it's need of uniforms and ask ing the city fathers to provide them, stating that it Is the purpose Of the band to give a series of concerts, one or two each week, in some public place, during the summer. The council was unani- nous lu the opinion that this plea was deserving of ready and hearty response, although there is nothing in the law covering the duties of councilmen" that would warrant them in approprlat- ing the public monies to such an end, Every member of the council, however, repeated, one after the other, that they would be willing to subscribe to fund for the purpose from their individual pockets, aud aS the same time expressed the belief that the sum necessary stated at two hundred and fifty dollars would be easy Go raise by subscription in the city.
 And so i, should te. The members oI the band are all young men Of Skagwsy. They have managed one way or another to get their instru- meuts-which is DO small undertaking and they are paid for. They have toled through all the preliminary stages that lead up 10 the point where their efforts result iu MUSIC. This is much. They have submitted to the discipliuiag, and the seli-restraint, have given their time, applied them selves through the labor necessary to mastering their instruments. Since early winter they have heen undergo iug this struggle through the under brush of the low lands until now they have climbed to where they can see the promised laud-the playing of tune that is followed by applause.
 A local band is very much to any community; it is big factor toward bridging success to any public demon. s.ra,jon; it is a matter of pride and adds to the celebrity of any town. On these grounds these boys should be given all encouragement possible. As a feature 8, public iuuctious-uot counting the ball given by themselves--they made their debut a, Whitehorse, and acquitted themselves with much credit in the presence of sn organization much older than their own. They are plumiug themselves upoa doing the hOnors here on the 4Sh og July. They will do it, too, with credit ;o the town Le, us all get in and buy the boys some handsome uni forms.

WIRELESS ACROSS THE PACIFIC

Wireless communication across the Pacific from Australia to the American mainland, and from the Asia,ic con- tinent, 1t is predicted, will be accom-. lished during the cruise of the Amer ican batIlehip fleet in the latter part of July or August. This will be done by means Of relay stations, and steps have already been taken towards this end.
 The commercial wireless company at Honolulu is at present constructing station of sufficient power to com municate with California stations, and the Associated Press has announced that the Navy department will estab- fish temporary station in the South Seas, probabiy at Suva, while the fleet is in those waters, by which means it is expected the battleships will be able to keep in constant touch with Washing ton from the time they leave San Fran cisco. Thus the herald of the fleet is a greater thing than the fleet itself or its undertaking.

After some delay-it seemed an age
to the skipper--the little craft came
back with the shipwrecked crew. Cul.

The old skipper nodded and won

continued Cultor, fiercely,

her to port and claim salvage. What
would you say to that?"
Capt Haines was speechless-he

that were to tow the Eagle to within
25 miles of the coast, and then put
you and your crew aboard her Do
YOU think you could take her into

"Just trust me" said the old man,
brightly.
"And what could l expect in the
way of salvage?" asked Cultor,

moment replied the skipper hastily
slipping the photograph into the
desk
When Cultor reached the bridge he
found a chill, drizzling rain beating
down upon the black sea. Not star
was visible, and the Blenheim seemed
TO him wet, shadowy ghost feeling
its way through the low-nying scud
"A nasty night" remarked the chief
officer, but it's gradually clearing
There's the light, sir--now it's gone
again"
Cultor watched intently. Presently
the light appeared again, this time re
naming stationary for few seconds.
BY its ftful CLEAN the captain could
distinguish the faint outlines of sev.
eral figures huddled together under
the lee of the cabin. She was a
small vessel, dismasted and apparent
ly water-logged. At times the sea
enveloped her entirely, and she was
lost to view; but she would rise after
each drenching shake herself like a
dog, and wallow in the green again
a helpless yet buoyant hulk.

stand by" said Cultor to the officer
Send up a rocket; thatn cheer em

AYE, aye, sir"
The night passed slowly to those
on the storm.tossed craft, but the
morning sun rose bright and warm on
sea that had lost much of its angry
curl. Cultor had early ordered a boat
away to the wreck, and the message
that came back made his heart thumr
louder than the engines.
Its the schooner American Eagle
lumber laden, and her captain wants
you to tow her, sir" shouted the of
ficer in the boat.
