BlaZed Her Way.

There is a story about ALASKA aE.u
us people in which is mentioned a
man who chose a bride from among
some Of the Indian tribes up toward
the Chilcoot pass. He took her to
Il large city, Montreal perhaps, and
lett her in a splendid hotel while he
went out to see some one about a
dog, She missed him sadly. She sat
at the window looking out on the
street four stories below. Solitude
became intolerable. She decided to
lind her husband. There was an Gle
vator, but she didn't care for it. Soft
ly as moccasins could carry her she
issued forth. When she had como
out q bellboy saw queer marks on the
balusters and door castings. The In
dian bride had blazed her way with
4 tomahawk so that she could find
her way back. The Indian bride was
merely living up to her education,
for it is very necessary to know how
TO blaze a trail in Alaska.

Judge Not.

Never pass final judgment on any
one from first impressions. We are
all such creatures of limitations.
Eyes are faulty, and the elements o.
character which elude lis often O
than compensate for the faults We
see. Look again, look deeper. You
will be surprised at the number OF
stars in the night sky if you look
long enough. Most people have more
virtues than arc seen by snap vision.
Be charitable and patient. Do not
spell your world by peopling it with
imaginary beings.

ago John Grebel, a merchant here,
separated from his wife because she
opposed his political views. After
dragging himself from bed to vote In
a primary election, he was carried
to her home. She first closed the
door in his face, but on his pleading
cry took him in and an hour later he
died in her arms.
Grebel was ffty-four years old, and
all his life had been a partisan. He
voted the Democratic ticket regularly,
and almost always without chance Of

this works out. When I go to Mon.

there are the most beautiful in the
world. I never go Lear them, and
why? Not because there is any dan
ger of my passing through the gar

asked me how it was I never entered

turns whatever to you, I hardly feel
justified in a~vailing myself of the ad-
vantage of your grounds" You make
a great mistake" said MI. Blanc. IF
it was net for you and other respect
able persons wht come to my grounds
I should lose many Of the customers
who attend my gambling saloons. Do
not imagine that because you do not
play yourself you do not by your pres
ence in my grounds contribute mate

persons who would not have thought
of entering my establishment feel
themselves perfectly safe in follc wing
