De better flNed, both morally and financially. Had had but one ride out and in on the Valdez boulevard (?)- some call il a road without leav- ing blue streak in my wake, would consider the sum of s for a license too small to bubble over for the pleasure of coming to town with flying colors, instead of a mule on two separate jaunts. The Brush is no longer manufactured, hence l cannot get the necessary parts to replace those that have become worn.

 Respectfully yours, GEORGE L. BELLOWS" Sawbones pr. Sutherland has de Goes To cided that he will go 70 War war and fight, bleed and die for his country, and with that end in view he expects to leave his happy home in Fairbanks about the first of the coming month. Doctor is not very particular about the fighting, bleeding and dying stunt, but he does want to get into front as they put them; and if that is not possible he will then look for berth in the rear or receiving hospitals, and if it is necessary to have someone pull strings for him he has decided that cousin, who is in some way connected with the hospital business over there, must go to the front for him.

 Here endeth the first chapter, and that's all there is to the story, except that Al still has to rub his beard

I read that some of the best people in the city desire to entertain them selves in respectable eating places Dy uduClHS, but IL lS IOlDIuucll l saw an automobile coming down the street In the hands of an ineXperi- enced person it is an engine of destruction. l learned that anybody is allowed to operate one of them. There is no restraint, until they transgress some rule. On the side walk was standing young man He wanted a position as janitor in an apartment house. He is, am told, competent, but he cannot read nor write English well. It seems an education is necessary, but be- cause of lack of education he can not pass it, although abundantly able to take care of boiler, On the street corners l see hundreds of men congregating. They will not work. They simply stand in groups while some of their number rave against the success of those who will and do work.
