WORDS OF PRAISE ALWAYS HELP

Praise is never wholly undeserved
 Risk it.
 Don be afraid No bones were ever broken by appeci ative remarks.
 Go ahead, Say it. You hardly in contact with anybody without noting commendabe thing Speak of
 And any criticism any salt word comes up in your throat, swallow it back
 What vast kindly benevolent botomless pit is the pit of the great Unsaid It is the Gehenna valley of our lives where lie the burnt refuse of our mkindnesses.
 You full of gentle thoughts and gentle words only you do not realize how full until you begin to speak.
 Unstop generous impulses Turn the fountain your praise.
 For this world of human hearts dry and dusty Most and about smtten with cruel thirst The and daughters of men perish for appreciation.
 Then water them Sprinkle them with the gentle rain your cheering words Drop the dew of your admrng gances and warm smiles the just and upon the unjust with heaven ndscrimination.
 ContWist yOu smile!
 We Americans odd lot. We soft wax in our hearts full of generous feeling hungry to help the next man. But we hate to admit if.

TOUR ALASKA LED BY
 INDIAN

Unusual interest in the expedition of the Pennsylvania University Mu- scum, which has just started for Alas, ka is occasiOned by the fact that it is headed by an Indian and his Indian wife. The enterprise. which has for it's object the collection of ethnologi, cal specimens from the Indian tribes of Alaska. is called the John Wana, maker expedition, and is financed by him The Indian in charge of it is Louis Shotridee. son of a chief of the Chilkat tribe. Both he and his wife. who is also a Chilkat and a daughter of we'll known medicine man of the tribe, have been educated in mission schools in Alaska and have worked for several years at the university mission, where they have been edu cated for the work they are now en- gagged in, and have assisted in arrang ing Indian collections.
 Mir. and Mrs. Shotridge are highly intelligent Mrs. Shotridge is an ac- complished pianiste and possesses an excellent singing voice. They speak very good English and have studied ethnology and anthropology. The pre- sent expedition is not their first trip to Alaska for the museum. About IS months ago they were sent to make advanced studies of the language manners and customs of the many Chilkat tribes from the present per spectiye of their higher education. They did not, however. engage in The work they are now undertaking, and it Is believed that it is the first ex- peditior ever sent out under the lead ership ci American Indians.
 In their first trip they were so successful that on their return the museum began to plan the present eX petition. They took with them a pho nograph, and obtained information which it is doubtful if white man could have obtained. This included ancient myths, religious beliefs and other interesting data which were taken down in the native Indian tongue and have since been translated into English by MT and Mrs. Shot ridge
 On the completion of this work Mir. l Wanamaker, who is vice-president of the museum, came forward with an of | fer to extend the scope of their work | throughout Alaska for the collection | of specimens, a large amount of ma. terial made by Indians in the stone age being still available, it is believed ]

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head.
 Liner Classes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. I. - The recent showing of the Pacific coast tennis players in the east has been anythig but encouraging to their followers here,~ and instead of the clean sweep that was expected earlier in the season, doubt is being ex. pressed that William Johnson will be able to retain his national singles championship. His recent defeat at the hands of R. Norris Williams, II, the former champion, was unlocked for and the possibility of his retaining his court honors looms prominent Williams has played a better game than he has shown in a year.
 Ward Dawson's work has been a dis appointment to his friends, and until he shows a decided improvement he seems likely to repeat his unsuccess. ful season of last year.
 The East vs. West matches were in the nature of a rout for the western forces. As yet there has been no ex planation as to the causes behind the reverses, and as time goes by the opin ion gradually is taking shape that probably there are excuses to be of fered. At all events the Pacific coast will enter the national championships at Forrest Hills with little of the con fidenee which existed at the time that it's players started on their invasion of the eastern courts

EGYPT CAMP A|CN'
BY THE GERMANS
Forced to- Reopen Abandoned
Coal Mines to Continue
Their Advance

London. Jan. 21.-The Germans cam
paign in Egypt is meeting with unex-
pected obstacles, it is announced here,
due to the lack of coal to operate the
railroad which they have constructed
southwark through Syria to the edge Of
the desert approaching the Suez canal
The construction of the railroad has
been largely facilitated by French rails
and material for a similar line. which
was partly constructed, but the alb
sence of coal prevents the actual
opening of the road to transportation.
i. This lack of coal has led the Ger
mans to reopen the old Turkish mines
in Syria used by the Romans, . but
abandoned by them a thousand years
ago. The capacity Of these mines is
limited to 100000 tons annually. A large
force of Turkish laborers is engaged
in developing the mines, which are now
the chief reliance in getting the rail-
road to Egypt in operation.
