FIRST VALENTINE

Something like 60 years ago GER
tain New England bookseller had a
Nciever daughter. To young and old
she purveyed paper, quill pens, sand
to be used for blotting sealing wax,
and even the newer invention of waf-
erS.
Many and many Il time was Miss
Esther called upon to fold, seal and
neatly address sheets of paper her
customers had purchased. In these
pre-envelope days it required some skill
to make the outside of a letter look
neat. The stationer's daughter also
wrote letters for illiterate or bashful
SWANS. Just before February Ii there
was pressing demand for her serv-
ices. She had such wonderful men,
DRY for bits of sentimental verse. such
taste in selecting scalloped or gilt
edged paper, such wonderful hand
o'-write.' The stationer complained
that his daughter wasted enough time
over vicarous and Improbable love
letters to sell his whole store. Little
Miss Esther fired by these reproaches
TO fine commercial frenzy, spent her
spare evening hours to work out her,
idea Soon the booksellers window
displayed scores of amatory epistles.
She even Ventured to send samples
of ner verses as far as New York and
Philadelphia. and few progressive
stationers gave orders FOR her new
experiments.
By another yea~ they We're no longer
experiments. 1t was not long before
the book-selling and stationery BUSH
ness was given up and the first valen-
tine factory in America made the for
tune of the stationer's little daughter.

The. total value of the mineral production of Alaska for 1908 is estimated by A.H.Brooks, of the United States Geological Survey, at S19, ,600, 900, as compared with $2O,S71,771 for 1907. The deer ease is to be charged to the gold placers and copper mines, as most of the other mining industries of the Territory show an increase in value of output. The value of the total mineral production of Alaska from 1880, when mining first began.to theclose ofl9O8, is,i round numbers,S148,O ,OOO, 900.

On January F tn we observed the hecommunion of the Lords Sup per in our Thlinget Church.
 This was the close of the week set aside as the week of prayer and we were able to enter into the service in a thoughtful spirit that made it truly a means of grace to every one present.
 Before the communion service w. G. Bqattie, superintendent of the Training School was ordained ruling elderin the church, hav- ing been duly elected four weeks before in our congregational meeting.
 Some good friend in the States made the church here a present of an individual communion set which was used on this occasion for the first time Some of us were afraid there would be alittle con fusion on account of the indivi- dual cups but We were relieved to see that everything moved along very smoothly A stranger would hardly have notice that we were introducing any new meth cd of observing the communion Several of the members eXpres- sed themselves as being delighted with the set.

frazzled beauties from Constantinople. via
Harlem and East New York, stood with
out the tent and looked bored to death.
Such a show 1t was in Alexandra that
day that President Taft and Capt. Oyster
we're there.
Come on inside. gents" yelled the little
barker. Its the only genuwine orryentei
die-rect from Con-stan-ti-nupple. The
only cheap thing about the show is the
price
The little barker proceeded to get right
down to business and I'm a few minutes
had quite q crowd around him. He was
not aware of the fact that immediately
across the street. in the shadow stooo
an evangelist with a megaphone and
powerful voice, just waiting and blding
his time
Come on in,' yelled the barker, ''for 1t
liable to be pinched any minute. Come
on in. gents. the waters fne."
Whereupon the doors were opened and
the crowd started forward.
just at this psychological moment the
evangelist raised his megaphone. He,
pointed 1t straight at the backs OF the
crowd. only thirty feet away. stepped
out into the glare of the lights and yelled
In a voice that could be heard for blocks:
minute You are all going to H.
1t was wonderful to see that audience
dwindle. Whether twas conscience or
prospective audience just melted and left
the barker, the fraxzled beauties and the
evangelist alone in the vicinity.
And did the evangelist leave, satisfied
with his triumph? He did not. He just
stepped back into the shadow again and
