Real efforts are at last being made to make easy the declining days of the old and disabled Alaskan prospector. Governor Strong stated the other eve ming at the Pioneer social that the men who go to the homes about to bs provided for them, or the one already established at Sitka. should not con. slider themselves ns being sent to poorhouse. They are just homes foe the men who have earned them q thousand times over and they are provided, not by anyone else, but by the funds which the old prospectors themselves have put into the country
 There Is no new country on earth and very few old countries which do not owe more to their workers than the workers could ever owe the coun |. tries. Alaska has a debt to pay to the men who bravcd It's tcrrors in tho early days just as much as if ths men had worked for the country for wages and had never received their pay. They have a claim on the ter s ritory of Alaska and on the people of Alaska md they have sttil stronger claim on the people of the United States for they have added to the United States more than many O: the worlds greatest conqucrors ever added to their fatheriands.

Men of grit and ambition will ever strive to reach out for that which gives ease and comfort and the struggle for which gives real zest to life. They wIli travel into new lands as long as new lands remain and the very ambi- tion which sends them into new coun- tries is the means employed by the higher power for opening the earth's treasures.
 Some of them must fail. but in fail- ing they have done none the less we'll. Those who have succeeded have been enabled to do SO by greater luck or intelligence or training and their de- clinlng days have been provided for. The country has paid to them It's deb.; but for those who fail the country is bound to provide, and to provide as though they had served in the field of military warfare. for they are sol diers in the army of progress.

THE MONKEY AND THE PEARLS

How melancholy Is 1t to learn that monkey may deteriorate morally until it becomes almost human. The news from Narragansett Pier prOvokes sad reflections. A monkey Is suspectc strongly of being the companion ot the thieves who on Sunday morning stole from Mrs. Charles Cary Rumsey. the late F. II. Harriman's daughter. ropes of pearls of which the value in- creases with each new estimate.
 Of course, this decadent monkey is m organ grinders clown which proves again the force of association and pro pinauity-what can be expected of a monkey that associates with n man who murders repose and tortures the sensitive ear?
