The cracking of the flames outside
her door warned Madge that she must
not wait for the net.
Again Madge looked at the mass of
people; one mistake and she would be
upon them. The old quotation, Took
up and down." flashed across her con-
seriousness. causing her to turn her eyes
to the blue canopy above her as she stood
straight as an arrow on the narrow sill
with a fan for balance clasped in one
hand. Her rowing life had not tended to
make her religious; but now, as she gazed
into space, the spirit OF the Infinite
seemed to encompass her, and before put
ting one foot on the wire she breathed a
prayer for help. Then resolving TO for
get that she was not in a circus tent she
started.
The people OF Sono will never forget
that walk, the little red figure high above
them moving with perfect ease along that
slender pathway, the only music the hiss
ing of fire engines and the play of water.
The wind famed the ribbons at her waist
and shoulders. causing them to float be-
hind her like scarlet wings
As for Madge herself, she faltered once,
but looking ahead OF her she saw the one
man In all the world for her. Louis, who
had gained the roof and was waiting for
her.
He saw her indecision and Immediately
sprang to his feet and began doing the
clown act, which he did in conjunction
with hers. The men with him thought he
had gone mad and would have restrained |
him. but he pushed them away, saying in |
an undertone: I'm Louis. the clown. 1t |
Is the only way to save her"
1t was a magic name. but a clown in |
costume is far different from an Irish |
lad doing the same act in everyday |
clothes. But they let him have his way |
Just look at her, pulling the wires,''
shouted Louis in his powerful voice |
That's easy. Ladies and gentlemen,

It has been reported around Nome for several days that Aspholm. an Alaskan, known to many in Nome Is either lost or dead some place in the neIghborhood of Sliscovich's road- house. The mans wife Is at the road house and 1t Is Eiii that efforts havt. been made to find or. if he is dead as seems likely from the length of time that he has been missing. to find his body.
 Inquiries have hccn made ns tU wkerc ali can m l,rocnrr,t [" carry being, who. if tcs,d, should be found and who. If living. must l'c in sore impossible to find any department of tho city or federal government under which a matter nf this kinid can be dealt with.
 If, as 1t seems. there are nowhere any funds that can be used for the purpose of saving a brother lost on the trail or for the purpose of recov- ering the body of one who has per. ished on the trail. there Is a very seri- ous lack somewhere in our govern m<nt. Certainly therc must be relief somewhere for a case like this.

 as a general rule. Thoy are merely the result of a bit of emotion or be- cause "sverybndv:s doing it'' ar for some other equally absurd reason. The man who is sincere in desire to live better quits his evil ways the moment he realizes them and he never does "swear ofE" He just naturally goes along a cleaner. smoother path and tries harder toobe charitable {" his fellow man and to exhibit more byctherly spirit. And this Is just as liable to happenl in July as In Janu- ary.
 if 1t is any help to a man to swear off'' something while "everybodv's do- inc 1t" why, % ahead and "swear off." It may last . month or %. but that kind of . ''swear orr isn't usually worth much.
 Probably the NUGGET is one of the few papers in the land that is not to- day advising people to give up some- thing. to make a set of New Years resolutions and to turn over new leaf. The reason that 1t is not doing so Is because it believes in individ- uaiity. If the individual ofSends against the laws of God or of natur" the individual will suffer and will pay. There is no escape from that and 1t is within each man or woman individ- uaily to live the life that suits best. "swearing ofr will not change the heart or the desires.
 But whether there is any swearing on. or not. the NUGGET desires to take this opportunity to wish It's ad- vcrtisers and It's subscribers and every one else in the community and the country a very happy and very pros porous New Year. and 1t confidently hclieves that that is just the kind of a New Year that Is coming to Nome.

0itjsiai Paper
.oms, ALAsxA. olc. s,. 1918.

All over the country the newspapers are today telling their readers just what they should and should not ho about this New Years business. Not only the newspapers but good many earnest men in the ministry of a great many different denominations are burning the midnight oil in order that they may show to their fiocks just how terribly bad they have all been during the year that is about to end.
 After the newspapers and the min isters and all the rest of the good people have shown their friends all of the mistakes of the past year. just how everyone has offended and stumbled and done a lot of wrong to themselves and to everybody else. They will deliver themselves of some thing like this. "Now Is the time of good resolutions. It Is the time to re- solve to turn over new leaf. to re- solve to forgo the pleasures and the evils of the past aud to resolve to lead a better rfc In the future.
 Resolve will be uscd moro thnn any one wopd lin the English language to- night and, tomorrow. and next to re- solve will come that other hackneycd New. Year expression swear on"
 Of course they are good words -theae, "Rls6lve" and "swear off.". But they ara worked to death md bavo become so terribly familiar that they have lost much of their original meaning. This is especially SO on tho beginning of thG New Year.
 Just to he e little different from everything that is expected of a news paper the NUGGET Is not going to say another word about "swearing off ard b4x.Gnhg a,i over and resolving to lead higher nobler iife."
 What's the use? Every man md every woman is going to do just as te or she Individually feels about 1t anyway anid as matter of fact ai- mosf every individual has that right. Anyway swear osfs" and resolves" that have been put off until the new year are not worth very much.

tC take a lOok O9ck over the F'st merely for the sake of old times. for it Is not wisdom to look back regret ting the giories that are gone or the opportunities missed. But 1t matters
 not what the past has been there Is
 bc und to have been some good in 1t and some experience in 1t which has
 lean nt its strength and taught its les son. For the sake then of these old times 1t will not do any harm to glance hack at the glories which once were Nome's and which seem to have de- parted from her.
 Pretty good old picture that past. up to a certain point. and one that those who were here in the good old days may love to dwell upon. up to certain point.
 Well. when that certain point" is reached why look any longer?
 Tho picture begins to grow dim and to become muddled and 1t hurts the eyes to attepmt to make out all of the causes that brought about the effects. The effects are here before us plain cnought, but in the picture they do mo- show up 90 plainly. Oh well. put the old cromo of the past away. chuck 1t into a corner. or out of the window os the mind. It has served its purpose ana has adorned the walls of memory long enough.
 There is another picture sitting on the easle in the corner. It is hy an artist whose name Is not unknown to most of us and 1t is ono Of his pest works. The title of the picture is future prosperity" and tho name Of tho artist is Hope.
 Let us take that picture from tho casle and hang 1t in place of the oin chromo of past elorics and past pros perity that we have chuckcd into tho rubbish heap.
 It is n bright picture. full of color and We mean that both ways. and full of life and vital energy and hust" and the fuiRllment of desires. It Is the sort of picture that spurs a mans tagging energies on to ono more trial. to one more effort to reach tho goal of his rmbition. to continue the fight for the attainment of happiness.
 There arc n number of figures In the group in the foreground of tho paint ing and they arc all cheerful figures with smiling happy faces that it heartens man up to simply gasc at.
 Development is there with shovel and pick. and the strong armed buiid- or with compass md rod and chain. There is tho Spirit of Immigration with hand pointing to the long line of people waiting for the opening of the country to surge in and rceate mere opportunity where opportunity already Is. There is the Spirit of Hard Work and of Accomplishment and of Overcoming. and weaving in and out among the group are the fairys off Love and Desirc. In the background, over shadowing all. are the heroic figures of Alaska and Success.
 That Is the picture which is sitting In the corner waiting to be hung in place of the old dScarded chrcmo of tho past and it is the picture that we would all do well to get fastenedf to tho wall as soon as possible. It is a good picture to begin the year 1914 with and to look at and think about sv cry day until by our united efForts'| wc have made the promise pictured on the canvass by the hand of tho great artist Hope reality and the aGures in the painting real. actual. lying spirits of Alasira and of Nome.

Done Splendid Work.
The Nm. D. A. has done splendid
pioneer work. In the brief period
Of it's history Northern Minnesota
has awakened, has begun the. work
Of actual development, and has set
tn motion an activity all along tho
line that will, ultimately. put to
work every acre Of. fertile but now

And to that incalculate degree, the
credit for this awakening is due to
the Northern Minnesota Develop

But though the movement which 1t
was created to make is well under
way, the work of the N. NJ. D. A., is
by no means ended, nor are It's pos
