Aunt VIRGINIA Saws:


To attempt to plan your life for a
year, month, week ahead is just
as foolish as it would be to commence
to add up a column of figures without
knowing what more than half of them
WERE
Justice to the innocent sometimes
demands that we expose the faults Of
our neighbor, but we ought to meet the
occasion as an unpleasant duty, not as
a joyful opportunity.

fly of others when our time of need
comes.

offense to thrust upon the radiant hap
piness of newly-married lovers the
cheap, coarse cynicism that at won't
last"
Some people imagine they are disci-
pIining their children when they pun
ish them brutally for doing something
the tenth time that they have been
allowed to do without protest nine
times before.-Farm Life.

A telegram was received in the district attorneys office yesterday ~t ternoon from t. Coke HIll, of Rlby. stating that white mans D"ly h. been washed ashore miles below Nulato, on the YuhJl r.yrr.
 The body was discovered by h. dians, who did not go nc@r enough to give any particulars as to tn" features or remove the corpse to shelter, because of the superstilons they harbor regarding dead people.
 The place where the body was discovered is about loo uun5 L.. low Ruby. District Attorney Roth wired last night to the effect that a white man should be sent out to investigate and to bring the body to Nulato pending a corone.'s in quest.
