The Stranger.
All through the village we are still;
We wait for hin to pass,
In the white villa on the hill
They turn and turn the glass.
He Is a stranger-fair, they say,
And young. The young should live!
The beautiful, the strong, the gay,
Deep into lift should dive.
And breast its waves and buoyant swim
Alas-he drifts to port.
Another current carries him
,yUgs.
Beyond the harbor, past the hill,
Beneath the churchyard grass "
All through the village we are still.
We wait for hin to pass.

Her limbs are 1.-the and supple as the sea;
Jet hair in perfumed waves is wind

And below tinted lashes, crisped and

Her gold-black glances glitter like a bee.
Graceful and flexible as a desert tree,
Her fran Voluptuous, sapphire-starred

A living vision Of guile and ecstasy.

Her dreams are red like blood n

The barber drenches you with rum per-
fumed with oil OF bay.
Nor does he heed your visage glum
he's bound to have his way.
Your locks he harries with a brush,
then plasters down with care.
He makes you look as soft as mush
the way he combs your hair.
You haven't got the nerve to kick
though inwardly you rave.
Most customs have a deal Of change
and vary here and there:
But barber men will never change
their mode OF combing hair.

The following bits of philosophy and political suggestion was handed us fol publication by citizen of this city.
 Some folks get credit for being ever tempered who simply don't know enough to get mad at the proper time, and their just anger, when it comes, is about as useful as last years cal endar.
 When time comes to award Alaska the privilege of self-govern- ment, it will accord with the fitness of things, to except from the act circle with its center at the court house at Juneau, and five mile radius. It is probably safe to say, that more people who are absolutely incapable of self government, can be found in that bit of territory, than in all the rest of Alaska.

It is not great while since that there was current talk in effect that there could be nothing doing in red metal securities until the metal price again scared above 20 cents, and that, it was said, would never occur again. Now, with copper below Ii cents, there is so much bulsh copper senti- ment prevalent that gold stocks are threatened with the back seat.a Well, there used to be bull markets in the coppers at present day quotations for the metal, so it is not so strange after all. Perhaps the strangest thiSg is that copper went to the price it diS.
 It is not fact that copper sold as high as it did, concurrent with abnor- maj prosperity conditions in all lines of commerce and industry. and are we not now well on the way for another such period-perhaps more prosperous than before?
 Is there any wonder that copper stocks are again taking the center of the stage, with promses held out on every hand that the price of the metal will advance in keeping with the business improvements?
 Wonderful plishments have been made in the matter of improve mems in copper methods, resulting in material reduction in the cost of mining and marketing the metal. New districts have come to the front, where copper is produced at nominal cost and tremendous tonnage is being handled. Enormous earnings are reported with copper at the present price, and this new industry is attain ing gigantic proportions.
 An authority has hgured It out tnat an advance of two cents a pound in the price of copper will increase the profits of the producing companies to nearly thirty millions of dollars annu- ally, and at least twenty i've millions of this will be paid in extra dividends.
 Consumption of copper is on the increase. More copper will be needed all the time. The gigantic power pro- jects, particularly in the West, are but one index to the fact thtt we approaching an era of electricity, the proportion of which have never before been dreamed. Millions are being invested in enterprises which spell more and more copper. Mining Record.

With the announcement of the new ruling which orbids American hali- but vessels from purchasing bait at Canadian ports, the attitude of hostil- ity and aggressive persecution of the fishing boats from the United States passes out of the purely local and selfish hands of British Columbia and becomes a national attitude on the part of Canada. an attainment for which those gno are agitating the matter in the Coast province have long been striving.
