the matter of cleaning up and making
things beautiful about their premises.
A good plan is for everybody to
forget they have any neighbors and
pay strict attention to their own dirt
and household without once looking
over across the fence into the next

premises clean without regard to
Your neighbours and you will live a

Unpopular Lectures
The City Beautiful.

Every city of pride and ambition
would be city beautiful. But there
are multitude of opinions as to what
constitutes such city. There are as
many tastes almost as there are indi-
yiduals. A real city beautiful must
have city full of beautiful people
with beautiful hearts and beautiful
souls-people whose every taste and
every impulse is in love with harmoni-
Gus nature and art There are many
people in the world who assume the
role of the connoisseurs of art, clean
llness and the beautiful who will dust
off the parlor table and throw the dust
in corner of the dining room, hide
1t by throwing paper over it. They
will take rubbish from the front ward
where 1t may be seen from the street
and throw it in the Uttered I'D and
very unsightly back yard They will
do other things even more reproacf-
able and then folding their hands will
sit down graciously and congratulate
themselves for not being unclean as
their neighbors are whose homes and
grounds do not contain half so much
disgusting foulness as their own.
1t will not do to use the preaching
OF cleanliness and the making of
/ things beautiful as : fad They are
not fads. They are principals as
much as those rules of conduct which
makes life worth living. The man or
woman. or even little child who adopts
fad simply because it is agitated on
the tongues of men or in the columns
OF newspapers is living double life,
is Janus-faced individual Better to
be little below the absolute plane of
real cleanliness than a hypccrite. God
will, perhaps, overlook the one but
he will not forgive the other. To be
true votary of cleanliness and the
beautiful an individual must be born
that way or educated up to the point
where dirt or the uncouth is actually
distasteful to him; where dirt or filth
hidden under something thrown over
it, is just as hateful to him as dirt
! or filth in the open. If he hasn't
such feelings born to him or bred to
I him at his mothers knee he is a bad
resident of city beautiful, as it is a
very difficult matter to receive the
proper culture by grown-up. Yet
there is much credit due an individual
who endeavors in maturer years to
cure the result of his neglected child
hood
It is amusing sometimes and agra
waiting to others to witness the ac-
tons and hear the talk of some of
these faddists who have no more heart
in cleanliness and things beautiful
than cat has in one of Billy Sun
days eyangelistic meetings, lecturing
and theorizing on how to clean up
things and keep them clean. but all in
reference to their. neighbors. Now If
their tongues were their hands and
their hands were their tongues there
would evidently be more silence in
the vicinity OF their mouths and more
work come out from the shoulder in

Beauty Is Eadinn.


For years these little islands that
will soon be cherished memories.
have been the mecca for countless
pleasure outings. Fishermen have
learned to worship them, boating par
ties have learned to love them, sight
seers have learned to admire them.
and kodak fiends have learned to
adore them. In less time than most
people are aware of. the beauty OF
these places will have been destroy

haps, the only one to carry away
lasting mementos of soon-to-be ex-
tinct masterpieces of natures crea-

the time the dam is completed the
isles referred to will be barren wastes

As further proof that the "Houn' Dawg'' song is reflection of the folk lore of the far northwest a metise French version was sung in the repetoire of the voyageurs and even as late as the last of the Hud- sons Bay days these volatile child ren of the wilds padded their canoes to the measure of
 "Je ne Trouve pas Qu'il est bien Que vous frapez du pied mon chien. Father Turnell, the Jesuit priest of Skagway. who has made an eXhaus- tive study Cf such annals as appertain to the career of the pioneer mission aries in the Chinook zone, distinctly remembers reading this early version of the dog song.
 While the battle hymn of the o. arks is an undOubted importation from the bunchgraSS empire its Ori- gin is lost in antiquity. In that re- spect the schwastica isn't in it with the dog song, for eight hundred miles north of the Chinook zone, so states Col. Sol Ripinsky in his soon-to-be published treatise on the Tlingets, the Klans of the Chilkats sang the dog song at the festivities of the OoliCan catch before the advent of the Russians or of Vancouver. Henry Phillips, Sho Is the present hereii- tary historian of the Eagle Klan of ' Chilkats and spent the greater part of his boyhood days in memOriz- ing the Kan legends from the die ton of his predecessor, maintains that the dog song is the family an them of he Eagles and that the long. cruel war of 1889 between the Eagles and the Mud Hens was caused by the presumption of the latter Kan in chanting the dog song at a fish oil fiesta
 Mir. Phillips voices the ChiIkat yer sion as follows;
 "Eah schahe eh kay deh
 Yah towne he goo deh."
 It is therefore a dead cinch that the Battle Hymn of the O7arks Is of Alaskan origin.

 They ask all the ladies who take pride in the appearance of their home town to meet on next WedneS- day evening at 7:3o o'clock at the Douglas school house to help form a civic improvement club.
 About the first thing that the la dies Of Douglas will do after they get the- club formed will be to inaugUr- ate a tin can day. On that day un- slightly piles of cans and rubbish in empty places in the town will be at tacked and made away with.
