BE GLAD YOU ARE ALIVE.

"What'r'ye complaining for? You re alive, ain't you? and that's worth a great deal. You've read the papers, and you notice you were not included with those who were blown away in the cyclone; when the ocean liner went down, you were not among those who got a permanent resting place down in the deep where the sea 2ems lie; and mermaids fair are not chant ing your dirge in oceans coral cave. No; and don't forget that you are right here, breathing the best ozone, while the half dozen who tried to drive their car up tree, and are now in the hands of the serious and long, visaged party, have lost the art of breathing. You didn't get fatal cramp in swimming; and when the fire-proof theatre exacted it's tribute of hundreds your business kept you at home. Don't complain. You have a lot to be thankful for. In the last strike riot you were not the in- nocent bystander who got the brick" The Calumet.

AN IMPENDING CONQUEST.

Some day great freight steamers will ply across Hudson bay, carry ing to Europe the grain of the Cana dian northwest There may be passen- ger liners, too, on this short path from interior America to the British Isles. Hudson bay is destined to be- come we'll traversed waterway, q sea amidst desolation, but charted and lighted and as safe as Lake Su- perior.
 But today Hudson bay is almost an unknown sea. The voyager who sails into it is an explorer.
 Recently there returned to New foundland a party of explorers who had spent more than a year cruis- ing about the mysterious shores of the vast gulf They brought back much valuable geographical informa- tion, which will be of use when the railroad to Port Nelson is completed and Hudson bay is dotted with steam ships. But there must be much more exploration before the shores and islands become definite geograph- ical facts.
 On most maps of Hudson bay may be found group of islands called the Belchers. They have been sight ed several times by navigators, but the Newfoundland voyagers claim to be the first white men to land upon them. They were found to be in a different position from that indicat- ed on the maps, and much more nu- merous. And these seemingly re- mote islands are not in the inacces- sible Arctic regions, but in the lati- tude of Edinburg, and far south of the prosperous towns of Alaska.
 There can be little doubt that miI- eral wealth abounds in the Hudson bay regions. The day is not far dis tant when this will be brought to light, and when the great forests will be made to contribute to the world 8 building material Canada's greatness will become greater and the world will be the richer.-Tacoma Tribune.

ALLIES ARRANGING
 BALKAN UNION

LONDON, Dec. 29-The Daily Tele- graphs correspondent at Athens, tel egraphs:
 "A collective visit was paid yester- day by the British, Russian and French ministers to M. Venibelos. No authentic information is available as to the object of the visit. The newspapers today suggest that the visit referred to Greece aiding Ser via. It, however. had some refer ence to endeavors to arrange the diff ferences dividing the Balkans"
 It is believed that a basis has been arrived at for Serbo-B Bulgarian rap- prochement, the most difficult to ar- range, for between Bulgaria and Greece no great difficulties exist, the former having for the present tacitly abandoned it's known views on Greek possessions. Their diplomatic rela- tions are now friendly, thanks to the tact and moderation displayed by the Bulgarian minister.

When he was arrested outside Ge- neva cafe it was found that he had cut off his mustache and otherwise disguised himself. He was senten- ced to six months Imprisonment, and a man named Kohlbecher, head of the Lorrach spy agency, was senten- ced to IS months in jail.
 Meyer described himself as special correspondent of the New York Deu. tsche Zeitung.

Fred Young Died From Injuries, While Ira B. Hurd, of Valdez,
 Had Narrow Escape

Recent arrivals from Cordova tell of the death of Frank Young, Shu- shanna miner and the narrow escape of Ira B. Hurd, whose family now resides in Valdez.
 It appears that Young, and anoth- CT man, whose name is unknown, attempted to cross the glacier after nightfall, believing they could follow the trail by the meagre moonlight Young slipped into a crevasse and his partner was searching for him when Ira R. Hurd arrived on the scene on his way to Shushanna.
 Hurd joined in the search for the the missing man, as YOung's con- panion was not sure into which crevasse he had fallen. They had no light and Hurd fell into a crevasse 20 feet deep but fortunately suffered no broken bones and was able to crawl out. Fearing to continue search in the darkness the men lay down in their robes to await the coming of sufficient light to avoid the crev- asses.
 Early next morning they found Young in a semi-unconscious condi- tion alongside of the crevasse, from which he had succeeded in crawling. He had been badly broken up and died on the trail while the men were trying to get him to Mccarthy.

A "War Prayer" By Mark Twain

A "War Prayer" By Mark Twain.
 An unpublished article by Mark Twain, called "The War Prayer" was recalled by Dr. Henry Neuman, lead CT of the Ethical Culture Society in Brooklyn, recently in his address on Mark Twain" before the Ethical So- ciety of St. Louis.
 The story tells how regiment on it's way to the front assemblies at a church and prays for victory. When the prayer is concluded a white-rob- ed stranger enters to say he has been sent from "On High" with message that the petition will be answered if the men care to repeat it after under standing it's full import Their pray CT, he tells them, asks for more than they seem to realize. Hence he bids them listen while he repeats aloud

these unspoken implications of their desire:
 70, Lord we go forth to smite the foe. Help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wiring the hearts of their un- offending widows with unavailing grief. For our sakes, who adore Thee, Lord, blast their steps, water their way with their tears.'
 Because he was told that this arti- cle would be regarded as sacriligious, Mark Twain, who, according to Dr. Neuman, was a free thinker, did not print it.
