Ready For Emergencies.

That is quite excusable, and once
when a little boy was rude ! saw you
indulge in temper and heard YOU order
him home. So I realized you were quite
a human child. and not an angel But
il was your treatment of older people
which delighted me Your way of no
ticing what others needed and offering
your services means so much in this
life
saw you. while reading a book,
glance up and note your mother look
ing for her scissors. and YOU ran and
gave them to her; and a moment later
you asked your father If he had a
match as he wss about to light his
after-dinner cigar Then you asked me
II I was warm enough, ana il / would
like a scarf: and all this was done
naturally anu spon ,aneousy, and knew
il was second nature to YOU.
Keep it all, dear child. as you grow
older; for it win give great happiness
- YOU pass along the road of life. and
Il will. in turn, bring you great happi-
ness
Happiness comes from the little things
Of life, not from one or two great spe-
cial events You scattered happiness
seeds almost every hour Of my visit;
and when I spoke TO your mother about
IT, she said YOU were always like that.
So ! know. a big harvest of happiness
is growing for you to reap in years to
come.

Rsgistered mall will close at l:sO and the ordinary mall will close at D. m. on Monday.

Things arc looking pretty good for Alaska just now. Especially good from the standpoint of development hv the government. That is 1t looks like the government was going to pro- vide the means by which the people who will soon be pouring into Alaska can continue the development of the country that has already been begun by the pioneers.
 No one who is at all converaant with the facts can doubt the vast natural resources of the territory and the only thing in the world that has retarded the growth of this great section has been the lack of transportation and the stcpfathcr attitude hitherto asaum- cd by the national government.
 Now there are in Washington Il number of influential senators and representatives who know all about Alaska and its needs ani these men car forcsec the wonderful futurc of prosperity that will Dc ours when tho land Is properly opened up to the pros pector and the settler. They know the needs of Alaska and they arc working night and day at the nations capital to supply those needs.
 It is an excellent thing to have friends like these at the capital in Washington working for Aiaskr and 1t is aiso Q cheering thing for all Alas kans to know that tho work of these men is meeting Y ith success md thnt there Is better chance right now than ever before for this territory to get what It needs and what 1t should have had years ago from tho national gov- crpment.
 The Alaska railroad hill will un- 1oubtedly pass s-t this session of con- gress unless some quite unforeseen and ul guessed accident occurs to block the path which has been 70 carefully smoothed out for It.
 With tho passagc of this biil and tho beginning of the enterprises which it will foster a reawakcned and re- sewed prosperity will flood this won- cerful country of the north.
