Modified Optimism.
"I'm goin' to be an optimist,D said
Hezekiah Bings;
"Tm goin' to be as gay as any robin
bird that sings,
A-carolin' of the sunshine an a-smilin'
at the sky,
AM shown how it's easy to be happy
if you try
But jes' the same,
I'm goin to bear in mind some day the
stormy winds must blow,
And if I don't cut wood to guard against
the frost an snow,
I'll be to blame.
"I'm goin' to be an optimist, still recog-
Min when
You must take life some serious, as You
have to now an then,
I don't expect the sunshine to keep lin
germ jes' fur me.
I'll try to initiate the birds a-singin' in
the tree,
But jes' the same
I know that days will come when sor-
rows bound to reach the heart.
I'll endeavor to be happy-but I'll try
to do my part
An play the game.

POLITICAL GAME IN ALASKA.

 The political game hunters of Alas a are beginning to beat the woods f Alaska" for likely candidates So IT there has not been much success l flushing the game. While a num- or of prospective candidates have cen driven into the open. they have owed no special inclination to stay here
 In other words while several, like arkls are willing and might accept omlnations if handed them on a sll IT platter they don't want to be laced in the position as though seek 1g political honors.

And MT. wiickersham ollowing his usual baffling tactics, Is citing the other fellow" do the -uessing. Whenever It suits him he VIII announce his candidacy in his oN n way, should he decide again to run. imself and he Is not talking for pub ication.
 It looks to man In tree as though here Is a widening split within the nner ranks of the democratic party n Alaska the same as there has been within the ranks of the republicans. The latter however, are showing more f a disposition to get together and orget old differences. while the form, r. with ripe plum trees loaded with ~uit so temptingly close. seem dispos- d to quarrel about the best way of baking down the fruit.
 Regarding the republicans, territorial fairs are in somewhat the same hape as national affairs. While a umber are mentioned as possible can dates. no particular choice seems to ave been made as yet. and the candi- ate will have to develop as the time or the convention draws nigh. There g a percentage of the republicans who Ire still opposed 10 Wickersham no natter even should he come In under he wing of the party and subscribe
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-02-15

to the republicans principles. There is arother percentage who decry the tactics of playing a shoutout game against Wickersham who believe that republicans should have the right to vote for him in the primaries as long as they pledgethemselves to stand by the person nominated, and as long as wiekersham is willing to also sub scribe to republican principles. There Is still another percentage who are SO solidly for wickersham that they might subscribe to the republican principles, but who would bolt from any convention which refused to nom nate their choice.
 Any way a person looks at the game, 1t is full of interesting possi- oillties. Things are beginning to warm up all over the territory, and here is already considerable quiet nanoeuvring at the present time, all If which is preliminary to the main event.

WHAT THE KING EATS.

"A meal fit for a king Is a common expression, but the sad eyes of truth informs us that kingly appetite may become jaded and cloyed by too much product of French chefs and may long for substantial plain dishes.
 Simple fare Is quite the rule now both at Buckingham palace and at Windsor castle and this will continue as long as the war Is on Meals in the royal household have never been so elaborate during the present reign as they were In King Edwards time. King George Is not nearly so much of an epicure as his father was. He has to be exceedingly careful what he eats. and he avoids rich food both for preference and of necessity, for he oc- casionally suffers from indigestion.
 Both the king and the queen prefer boiled fish and meat cooked quite plainly. without an abundance of cum ningly seasoned saurces which delight the heart of a clever French chef A recent dinner menu at the palace con sisted mainly of boiledf turbot. dish of outlets. a fruit salad and a savory.
