this means.
Many Privations.
Probably no country on earth has
lured SO many people to ruin and de-
struction, in proportion to the num-
bers visiting It. as Alaska has done
in many of the great gold rushes
which have taken place in recent
years. The writer, during three sea-
sons spent in that country. and In
trips extending from it's southernmost
portions to the Arctic shores, has per-
sonally been an eyewitness Of many
pitiful scenes there. The time has
already arrived when fast steamers
make pleasure trips during summer,
and convey tourists in comfort along
the southern coasts of Alaska, though
some of the finest fjords and scenery
on earth But probably none Of these
luxurious travellers has any idea of
the privations suffered by many of
the old-time pioneers who followed
this route on their way to the new
Eldorado Nor can they hope to real
ize what a winter is like within the
Arctic circle. Mr. r. w. Service has
more accurately described this than
any other writer In the following
splendid lines:
The winter! the brightness that blinds
you,
The white land locked tight as a drum.
The cold fear that follows and finds you.
The silence that bludgeons you dumb,
The SHOWS that are older than history,
The woods where the weird shadows
slant
The stiffness. the moonlight, the mys-
terry,
I've babe 'em hood bye-but l can't.
No more awe-inspiring scene can
be Witnessed than that of the ice
breaking up on some big river. such
as the Yukon, or many others In Alas
ka, when the pent-up waters burst
their way in spring through many
miles of icy letters, with an accompa-
niment of appalling noises which be-
wilder the onlooker. Or again, let the
traveller gaze a while at some spot
abruptly In the sea, towering aloft
above the waters. Here vast masses
of ice constantly fall off, drift aim
lessly about, and form a continual
source of menace to unwary mariners.
The photographs which accompany
this article were taken recently by a
friend who travelled part Of the way
along the coast of Alaska with the
writer, and owing to their excellence
they convey a good idea of prevailing
conditions and scenery in the dark
and silent north.

The Secret of Popularity

cause they are funny. There is no other
way in the world by which a woman can
so certainly commit social suicide as by
the dagger Of wit. and among the best
hated people that you will ever find, are
the ladies who can not resist saying
smart and cutting things, no matter
whom they hurt.
A sense of humor is a most delightful
thing In a woman. but when the gods
would destroy a woman they give her
wit Men fear her, women loathe her
and society shelves her. So if nature
has seen fit to endow you with the gift
of mimicry conceal it as carefully as you
would a hump on your back. II you
have the faculty of hitting off the weak
nesses Of your fellow creatures in an
epigram, choke yourself on il rather
than give utterance to IT, and no mat
ter what the temptation never say the
bright things that bubble to your lips
if they would leave any sting behind.
Laugh with people, but never at them,
If you would be liked, for we may for
give those who SANDER and traduce US,
but we never forgive those who make
US appear ridiculous.
The fourth secrecy Of popularity is
tactfulncss. Cultivate an ability to walk
through life without stepping on other
peoples corns. Make il a business to
remember what subjects are like wav-
ing a red flag before a mad bull to GER
tain people, and don't be so stupid as
TO talk about divorces to people who are
enjoying their third husband or wife, or
about prison life to those who have
son in Jail.
Finally, beloved. If you would have
friends, you must show yourself friend
ly; If you would he liked, you must make
yourself likable Why should anybody
pine for your society If you are an ego
tistical bore Why should anybody en-
joy listening TO you If you do nothing
but pour out a torrent Of melancholy
tears and walls at fate?
Why should people want to have you
around when you jump on their pet
theories, and are about as soothing
companion as a pOrCupine would be-
Why should any one invite you to her
house when sne can be perfectly sure
that you viii stab her with some sar
castle speech that will cut right to the
heart?
But, on the contrary. now delightful
to have about that kindly, genial, cheer
full individual whose presence makes
every pleasure more delightful, the
sympathetic friend into whose unwearied
ears we can pour the story Of our woes,

ing of a single wheel, Verify, We all

a YOUNG girl, who desires to be
~ admired and liked, writes to me
- and asks If l can tell her how to
become one of those fortunate ones who
are always welcome, and at whose com
ing every eye brightens and every lip
takes on a smile.
| can not answer my corresponding
question to the letter. The secret Of
popularity is one OF those Dundreary
things that no fellow can find out. Some
people attract us. and others repel us
without ever being able to give any
reason for it. There are scapegraces
that we adore, and saints that we hate
at sight. There are people with no pre-
tensions to brilliancy of whose society
we can never get enough, and learned
individuals who bore US stiff. and yet
by every law of logic we should prefer
the company of the more intelligent.
Only we don't.
Undoubtedly that Elusive quality that
We call personal magnetism has a great
deal to do with an individuals popular
ity. Some people have a charm of per-
sonality that draws us to them just as
irresistibly as the magnet draws the
needle. This is a gift Of nature. Fortu-
nate, indeed are those who possess il.
but those who have not been so blessed
as to be endowed with ii can cultivate
other qualities that make a very good
substitute.
My first piece of advice to the girl
who wants TO be popular, is to make a
cast-iron resolution not to talk about
herself. Just take II for a rule, that
has mighty few exceptions, that no
human being on earth, outside of your
mother, wants TO hear all the details of
your humble existence When people
ask you how you are, it is mere con-
ventionality. They are not thirsting and
hungering to hear all the symptoms of
your last illness, or the CORY particu-
lars of some surgical operation that
you've gone through
The first secret of popularity, then. is
not to talk about yourself, and the sec
Ond secret is to talk to people about
themselves or at least to listen, while
they discourse about themselves This
is a cinch, especially it, while you are
listening you can assume an expression
of absolute interest. Write il down as
one of the immortal truths that to each
Of us the one subject Of burning. thrill
ing heart palptating interest Of which
we can never hear enough is himself or
herself No people are considered so
universally fascinating as those who are
eloquent listeners, and 1t is better in
society to be endowed with the ears of
a donkey than with the tongue of CT
cero
My third piece Of advice to the girl
who wishes to he popular is never to be
sarcastic or say sharp things just be-
