Last night was the coldest that the weather bureau has reported in skagway for several years. At mid night the thermometer registered 12 above zero. Today continues cold and clear with lesseued wind and rising barometer, which indi- cates that a warmer wave is just over the hills somewhere. At an early hour clouds could be seen maueuvering among the mountains as If battling to drive back the north winds, and then dissolve in warm tears of joy at their victory,
 skagwaus are not accustomed to the cold, and it troubles us more than it does those of the States who dwell in thrilling regions Of thick ribbed ice;" and we some times cry out in resentment at the weather. One night of cold obliter- ates the memories of the long, glimmering days of summer and the warm rains of spring and autumn. While admitting that the past twenty-four hours have been cold and Blustery, we still main tain that skagway has the finest climate in the northwest-and much finer than a large proportion of the North American continent
 In moments of depression it is easy to jolly up by comparisons. Read the news columns of the AL aska newspapers and see what the weather man is handing out to Cal ifornia, Washington, Oregon and the States of the east, then thank the fates that you are living here.

The year of 1913 will be noted from an astronomical point of view, for during the twelve months per iod there are to be five eclipses, three of the sun and two of the moon. First of these is a total eclipse of the moon on the morning of March 22, a portion of which will be visible to those of this part of the country who may desire to witness it at such an early hour as 6 o'clock. On the eth of April the sun will be partially eclipsed to the gaze of Alaskans. A total eclipse of the moon is scheduled to take place on the morning of Sep tember 15, visible to the entire western part of North America, con- seQuently Alaskans will be favored in this respect.

The accomplishment of C. A. Thomas on the overland trail in the trip which landed him in White horse from Dawson Saturday night in less than 36 hours actual travel ing Is epochal.
 It is demonstrated that the auto can be made a factor in Yukon traf- fic. Not only in winter, but in sum- mer, fall and spring every season of the year-is the auto destined to be of service between interior points and the coast The Yukon will have an overland highway that will not be a mere trail, but a boulevard. There is no reason un- der the sun now why Yukon should not be entitled to as good a road

The report of the Commissioner of Pensions shows that 1000 vet erans of the Civil War died within the last year. The death rate is in- creasiug with each month and it will be but a few years until the last survivor of the great conflict between the States will pass in final review and be mustered out by Death.

The pictures show wild profusion
Of Bedouins, Chinese, Arabs, Moors,
Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians and
Turks, with fair sprinkling OF Ro-
man senators, in every conceivable
garb, ancient and modern, lounging
comfortably around the pyramids and
smoking Havana cigars, English pipes,
hookahs and cigarettes and mostly
chewing gum. But II in his choice OF

/ well In Egyptian scenery he has GER

alleged desert or resting beneath the
English oaks. Lombardy poplars, cac

Showing That the Early Gro Us NOV
Always the One That Gets the
Most Worms.

Once there we're two birds. One was
An early bird, and the other was
lazy sort of bird which never got out
much before eight o'clock in the
morning.
The early bird caught a worm. The
early proverb-maker happened to be
there at the time, and made note
Of It.
Now, this worm that had been
caught by this early bird had wife
and ten children. When the worm
left home that morning his ten chill.
dren were just getting up and his wife
was preparing breakfast.
No doubt this worm had gone out
for his morning walk to work up an
appetite for breakfast but such are
the uncertainties Of life-he never re-
turned. The family OF worms waited
until about eight o'clock, and then,
highly alarmed, started out to look for
Papa Worm.
At this time the bird that was a
lazy sort Of bird was just getting out
to look for bite of something to
eat He saw the family Of worms
and had fine breakfast.
Moral: It's not always the bird that
gets into the proverb that gets the
most worms.--Lippincott's.
