THE THINGS WE DON'T KNOW.

Have you ever paused to consider
the things we don't know. We use
the word 1--WE" because it is respons.
ible for more Understandings than
any ten words put together. We are
like the speaker or the writer who
will start out conscientiously to give
his opinions. He will begin by say
ing 1--WE don't know" meaning him
self. At any rate it is a common
thing nowadays to hear men and wom-
en- talk glibly of subjects in man
ner which for the first few moments
is apt to mislead one into a convic-
ton that they really know what they
are talking about. But question them
bit. and you see Immediately how
superficial and skin-deep is their
knowledge. 81 don't like to appear
ignorant" is the oft-expressed excuse
and so Sam begins TO talk, yes, but
blessed is the man who having moth
ing to say, abstains from giving us
wordy evidence of the fact"
Information picked up at random OF
on the surface is not knowledge. Gold
is never found on the surface. II
requires digging to get it. So with
whatever we want to know. 1t never
comes either unbidden or without eff
fort Simple as it seems, it was a
great discovery that the key of know
ledge could turn both ways, that il
could open,. as well as lock the door
of power to the many says Lowell.
Every year, every season, every
day brings something that we don't
know and that must be learned if we
wish to prosecute our work success
fully. We look around us and see
that this is the law of human life
What is all our knowledge? We dc
not know what weather it will be
tomorrow" How many of us know
enough about foods to distinguish be
tween albuminoids and carbohydrates
and the usefulness of each of these
substances as part of food. Is
Heaven out in space? Sc ignorant are
we of this great question of existence
youngsters and the white-haired sage
are of a kind. The world is so big
and so rich and so beautiful that we
must study it as long as we live. How
unsatisfactory it would be if the world
were so meagerly outfitted that we
could comprehend the whole of it by
the time we are twepty-one. Let me
take your hand, my friend. Can in
ternational peace, Christianity, jus
tice and equity prevent this old eartl
and civilization from swerving and go
ing chunk, chunk, at the unexpected
time? You don't know? Your an
swer is correct. 1--WE have but faith
we cannot know" sings the poet
Herein lies the joy of living and learn
ing ever.

Interesting Report of Their Delightful
Trip Requested BY Their Many
Friends.

Leaving Kansas City Saturday even
ing, August A. on the midnight flyer,
We arrived in st. Louis Sunday morn
ing and spent the morning as guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Coleman and
Mr.. Malone of st. Louis. At noon We
left st. Louis over the New York Cen
trail line for Niagara Falls, having
delightful daylight ride to Indianap-
oils, Ind.
On leaving Indianapolis we retired
to the sleeper and arrived in Buffalo.
N. Y. the next morning. We changed
trains here; walked about six blocks
over to the Lehigh Valley depot and
boarded train for Niagara Falls. We
had breakfast in the diner and arrived
at the falls a little before noon. We
were beseiged at the depot by repre-
sentatives of all kinds of conyeyances
who wanted to show us around the
Falls, but we lodged them all and went
up town to Mrs. NJ. w. Wares Cafe,
where we left our baggage and started
out to do the Falls, which proved to
be one of the most interesting places
visited on our trip.
We visited the American Falls, the
Canadian Falls and the Horse Shoe
Falls and the Three Sisters Island.
Then we took a trip around the Great
Gorge, going down on the Canadian
side and returning on the American
side, stopping off at one of the sta
tions in Canada where we were served

about two hours to make this trip. By
the time we visited a few up town
stores and mailed some post cards it
was time for us to go to the depot.
We took the Lehigh Valley route over
the suspension bridge to Toronto, Can
ada, where we changed cars to the
Grand Trunk route and retired for the
evening, arriving in Montreal the next
morning, stopping off for an hour to
see the lay of the city, returning to
the depot we boarded the train for
Boston over the Boston & Maine R. R..
which proved to be the most enjoy
able days ride of our whole journey.
Think of riding all day in an obser-
: walton coach through the White Noun

Green Mountains of New Hampshire
and Maine with beautiful green val.
leys with rippling brooks running
along the foothills, then emptying
into the Great Merrimac river, which
turns more factory wheels than any
other river in the world
AS we passed through Montpelier

shire, and Worcester, ~ H., we could
see the smokestacks of the great cot.

these cities famous Then we entered
into the state of Massachusetts and
finally the North Station in the great
old historic city of Boston.

Sitka. Alaska, May Is, 1oI : Miss Nellie Mae Taylor,
 Pres. Wrangell W. C. T. U,, Wrangell. Alaska.
 My dear Miss Taylor:
 Your letter of May 9th is to
 hand today. It gives me erea,
 pleasure to answer your questions 1 as far as l am able.
 ! First: The question of the re-
 la,ion of schools to saloons does not affect Sitka. Siika IS not aB
 incorporated town: the teachers are paid by the Government, from funds under the control of the Governor, therefore the license
 money has no bearing whatever On the school question.
 Second: The closing of the saloons has benefited the fishing industry. The superintendent of the Cold Storage told the writer that the captains of fishing boats were glad that the saloons in Sitka had been closed, because they could now come in without fear that their men would go on de- bauch and that they would now b. it for work when they again started out, There wefe moro fishing boats in Sitka this spring than has ever been before. At thc present time, however, there art not many because The Booth Fish cries Company has not begun | purchasing fish, but when they Iopen, it IS expected that there vii
 be more fishermen in town than lever before. The argument
 which you say that the vets Ii svour town advance, that the fish. terrnan would not come it the towI
 went dry, were also advanced there. That sush argument ar; lfallacious, are proved by the 2, lbove mentioned facts.
 Third: This Is but a smal
 place and there has been no notic;
 able difference in the general pros perity oi the town, but l can sal 'that there IS certainly no dec-easl ID values, but there IS a mark difference in the con dition Of seT-
 eral of the families whose bread
 winners were persistent drinkers We are not afraid that any ot tht
 dire calanities which you art 1 threatened with shall Visit us b,
 cause of no saloons.
 1 Fourth: The closing law has
 been enforced. For some little
 time, there were one or two blin pigs" but they have been effect.
 lively discouraged and the town IS,
 at this writing. with the exception: tof bottle goods brought in oecas.
 ionalty on the boats to private customers, 1 oelIeve, entirely dry.
 The sentiment of the people was
 shown in the spring election. Al.
 though the wet and dry question
 was not presented directly. never.

 to be anti-Saioon was elected by
 two and one-half to one, represent tlng the other side.
