It's a Hard Test-Success
Comes Only With Meeting 1t

Even the elements seem 10 have con-
tracted the Alaskan fever, and are con-
tributing to the early commencement OF
work on the government railroad.
Fairbanks dispatches report that the
ice has broken on the 5000 miles of nav
gable streams in Alaska, the earliest In
history.
Immediately these streams will be
covered with busy steam vessels carry
ing men and supplies to the hundreds OF
mining camps, as well as TO the fast in
creasing farming communities.
A rush TO Alaska that will equal the
Klondike days will surely follow the re
sumption Of traffic.
1t is well to sound note Of warning
TO the over-enthusiastic.
Alaska is undoubtedly a territory OF
glorious opportunity, a wonderland for
the young man, with health and strength
and courage.
But he who goes there poorly equip
ped, physically, financially, morally or
mentally, must succumb in time TO the
adamantine character Of the country.
The government railroad will give
employment to large numbers, but prob
ably to but small fraction of the horde
which will seek labor.
Work will not be plentiful, gold does
not cover the earth, nor lie around in
every gulch, as many fools and dream
ers picture.
Success in Alaska, as elsewhere, de-
ponds upon the hardest kind of work.
The man who goes there prepared to
suffer severest hardship. to labor dill
gently and faithfully, early and late, who
carries with him determination 10 play
the game on the square with himself
and this new country Of promise, who
abides by that determination through
veal and woe, will be well repaid. II
takes strong man to do all these things.
To him Alaska beckohs, but to the
weakling or the gutter, it turns cold
shoulder.

BY GORDON A. DAMON.

There's little green mound the hill yonder
Where the spreading elm stands like sentry guard
And oft, in the evening stray there to ponder
When the gray shadows creep the lights growing dim
Oh how remember the days long vanished
When those gentle hands toiled serenely for me;
How quickly the troubles Of childhood were banished
When mother Judge" and my court" her knee
How long then to feel the soft touch of her fingers
. Once again my forehead in tender caress, --
And the sound Of her voice in the memory fingers
AS around me the deep shades Of eventide press
The wind gently signs in the branches above me-
And the rustic of leaves to my heart brings thrill;
My thoughts of her-of the mother who loved me,
And somehow 1t seems she's carsssing me still
