ador to the United States. Sir Arthur

sador to the United States, Sir Arthur Horrors! The United States on the eve of war with Mexico and the Brit ing the opera. To this unsophisticated Englishman the incident spells nothing more than a diplomatic break between the two great Anglo Saxon friends
 This amateur penman writes to the dear old "Lunnon" Times that the fact of Sir Arthur being in New York at this critical time is causing much com. ment in the United States and the Times takes it all very seriously as Englishmen have way of doing and prints an editorial telling all about it.
 Now. next to the crown and the church there is nothing SO sacred to the EnElishman as the "Lunnon" Times He never jokes about the Times and the Times never jokes with the British public. they wouldn't see 1t even if the paper could dig up a joke. No. this is all very serious. this run ming or to New York on the part of the ambassador. Perhaps the Times thinks Sir Arthur Is neded at the cap itaI to hold somebody's hand At any rate the exile" who wrote to the paper and the paper itself seem to be getting into the calamity class They see n break between England and the United states. They predict dire things. They are the kind that are looking for trouble. the kind who cry wolf, wolf"
 Fortunately these predictors of evil are not often taken seriously. But they make n lot of trouble. In this in- stance the British government has had to deny that there is any significance in the ambassadors little trip at this time. The ambassador himself tele- graphs that his absence has no politi- cal significance and the state depart ment admits that it didn't know the amba ssad dor was out of town and that il doesn't make any difference anyway.
 And all of this mess started just like the predictions of ruin with change of administration just like the cry that Nome was all in. just like the present predictions of a hard winter Things like these are not started by the proper spirited optimist but by fessional pessimist.

The NUGGET wishes all the good l Alaskans who are going out on the Victoria a pleasnt voyage a prosper l ous winter, a merry Christmas and a | Cl.t erful old world taking 1t altogether | and there are always a lot of good | times kicking around for the fellow
 who has the proper spirit with which
 to go after a good time. Those who are leaving us take with them our
 sincere wishes that they may get the last drop of good out of every good time that is going around
 It doesn't matter whether you are going out with q pocket full of gold
 after good season or whether you are going out broke after poor one, or even if you happen to be going out as certain king who doesn't know whether he will find his throne when he gets back or not. Don't let ii worry you. If you have the gold you are surely in position to enjoy life.
 If you are broke you will just as sure ly find opportunities where you are go- ing which will put you on your feet.
 The world is full of them and all that | a man has to do is to keep up his courage through the dark days and
 believe in his future and incidently to
 work for it.
 The man who is going out broke is going to stay broke unless he gets his thought on something higher than be- ing broke. BrOoding over the hard
 knocks will never relieve the bruises that they have made. Kicking against will never change them. The man who
 would better things. politically. social ly financially has to get out and hus- tie. If he hustles hard enough he will change his financial status for the
 better. If enough men hustle hard
 enough they will evntually change so-
 cial and political conditions for the
 better. But neither the man who is
 lacking financially or the man who
 would change other conditions will
 ever get anywhere. by simply sitting
 down with a grouch and swearing at
 his luck or at things as they are.
 No man will advance in prosperity
 who finds all the conditions that he
 must face to win prosperity to be con-
 dItions that are unfair. The unfair
 ness Is in his point of view. not in the conditions. He must change his view
 point and get into mental state
 where he can realize that all things are his if he will but use what has
 ben given him for the attainment of what he wants.
 The man who cannot find good time in anything is looking through the wrong kind of glasses. The good times are plenty. no matter where we are. if we will only see them. There are going to be good times on the out side even for the man who is going out broke. There are of course going to be good times for the man who has made his pile, and incidentally we are going in for a few very good times ourselves right here.
 In any event. wherever you go. what

NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 5 1913.

One of the quecrest traits in the human make up is that which keeps some people always looking for trou- ble Always going around crying vol" wolf
 Sometimes it's the man who sees the country going to the dogs because one political party or another is or is not in power There are plenty of these wolf. wolf" shoutcrs every time there is q change of administration at Wash ington. They cry loudest when tho change of administration involves 6 change of political parties.
 of course lot of these calamity howlers are yelling their heads off not because they really have any fear but simply to influence the stock market. This bunch does not count, they are simply Wall street gamblers and about the lowest order of human being on the money grubbing scale.
 However their are also lot of fool ish ones who are not shouting disas- ter Tor any personal financial reasons. It is their nature to predict calamity. We had them here in Nome after the storm. Nome was all in" Nome had received her death blow We heard lot of them. but no one with any strength paid the slightest attention and Nome is coming back
 On larger scale is the calamity howler who predicted that everything would go to pieces after the fourth Of last March. The prediction was made simply because another party took hold of the government on that date. Only four months more and the new party will have been in year and still the little old country waCs along just the same.
 One Of these days the democratic par ty which was expected to ruin things will give place again to the republi- cans. or. We must say it very low. to the progressives. and again we will hear the old slogan "everything is go- ing to the dogs"
 The queer thing about it is that these predictions never come true. The country is too big. too vital, too full of resource to be sent to the dogs by any political party. It is only the pes simist who sees these dire results in a change of party or a change of poi- icy.
 NOW comes pancy Britisher, who signs himself exile" and we wonder why an exile. who starts q great to do down in Washington and in London by availing himself of that time honored English custom of writing it to the Times. This cheerful idiot has stirred up lot of trouble for two very good friends. In the first place he has read in the papers that the British ambas.

A WIRELESS STORY.
Call From the Pacific That Was Heard
In the Gulf Of Mexico.

In the Gulf Of Mexico.
1t was EIGHT bells" on ship lying
at anchor down in the gulf of Mexico.
The men had retired for the night to
their hunks and hammocks, and the
wireless operator, alone in his watch
fitness, was listening in" at the head
phones.
Suddenly. out of the pitchy darkness
of the sea, message that curdled the
blood in his veins leaped down the an
tenna and hummed its fearful contents,
rs. o. SIS. o. SIS. o. s." And few
minutes later, in response tc the Gus
tomary reply. what is your POSITION"
the answer flashed back. "-2t degrees
81 minutes 81 seconds west, Al degrees
81 minutes 10 seconds north.
That meant that out on the Pacific
ocean 140 miles west of Seattle, Wash.
1850 miles away-a vessel was call
ing for help,
The call Of the Pacific! The operator
hardly believed II. With tremuious
fingers he repeated the call to the sta.
ton nearest to the vessel in distress.
But already the wireless watchers
along the western coast had caught
the message and relief was on its way.
Clear across the entire North American
continent, over land and sea and NOUN
tain ranges, the ships cry had been
heard. Worlds Work.

GENERAL DEMAND
Many Applications Made to

Rate Effective Nov. /.

Commissioner Jonas Bear reports
that he has already received 80 appli-
cations for water meters since the an
nouncement several days ago that be-
ginning Nov. l, the new minimum rate
of 50 year for patrons using meters
would 60 into effect.
Those desiring meters should COM
municate at once with Commissioner
Bear. The city will furnish the meters
free, while the consumer must stand
the cost of installation. 1t is thought
the reduction in the yearly minimum
rate from s12 to 80 will prove popu-
lar and that soon practically all pat
rons of the department will be using
meters. Commissioner Bear stated
that yesterday he issued seven per-
mits and today four more to have
water connected in new houses.

Years ago, in the beginning of
homes and home-making, the husband
went forth to kill the game and
brought it home where the wife was
ready to cook and serve it. Later it
ives tilling the soil and having things
grow which by the good housewife
were made into appejizing dishes for
the family. She also had time then
to spin the yarn and make their
clothes.
Civilization and progress have taken
much of this labor from the home.
From the making of candles and care
| of lamps we have come to turning on
| a button and, behold. electric light.
From the rags which were sewed and
braided into rugs and later woven into
carpets we have everything that can
be manufactured in rugs and carpets
outside of the home. All necessary
labor is made wonderfully easy
through labor-saving devices for clean
ing and cooking, while schools and
lectures over a large part of our coun-
try are training our daughters and
mothers for greater efficiency in their
home.
While large bakeries do much for
us, the real essential, main part of
the cooking has not been taken from
the home kitchen. The true mean
