TRIBUTE

We undoubtedly express the senti- mcnt of the people of Nome n 'cmark. ing that the thanks of the community are due to Capt Thomas Ross and the brave men who accompanied him on the perilous trip across the storm swept, ic" coated waters of Bering Sea in search of the four unfortunate men who were swept away on the ill star red schooner White Bear
 It IS no light thing to dare the treachcrous ice filled reaches of un Arctic sea in d small vessel like the Genevieve and none with craven heart will knowingly dare to do so. Yet these eleven brave men went gallantly forth, thinking not of self; fearing not the perils which might lie along the deep; caring only to avert destruction from those whom and untoward fate was bearing to possible doom; heed Ing only that irresible impulse of the heart which prompts the brave and strong to risk life and limb in succor. ing the weak and helpless
 Brave souls were these, my masters; brave souls indeed; these men who venturcd forth without thought of re- ward or remuneration beyond the con- sclousness of duty we'll and truly done, to risk their lives in an effort to bring relief 10 the unfortunatcs cast adrift without warmth or food on the frost chilled storm tossed bosom of the win- try sea.
 1t may well be said that words of praise are hard to find to fit such deeds as these. Courage, endurance, and the noble gift of mercy given unselfishly in the interest of humanity are at best but scantily rewarded by terms of praise, how e'er eloquently spoken, and no reward is adequate for him who goes willingly forth to stake his life 10 help another That is the supreme charity, that nothing may repay save heartfelt thanks offered on the altar of gratitude.
 Capt Ross and the hardy and cou- rageous men who sailed with him on that forlorn journey are each and

POETRY
THE STORY OF THE DRUMS

What is the story of glory that comes The echo Of feet keeping time to the
 beat Of men who are marching by cross
 road and street, To the cali that has echoed by land
 and by sea For the fate that may be7 And the story Is this-they have come
 to the day When the big debt is due in the smash
 of the fray And If 1t be only the death which they
 owe, Or If it be only to suffer and grow. They are ready to pay. Even for those who are ready and
 strong The roads none too long; Time moves on the fly as the seasons Where the shadows drift in and the
 last echoes die. Where each in his turn passes on
 through the gate To whatever may wait; And the story is this-when the hour And It nay be for me or 1t may be
 for you Today and tomorrow are one and the
 same If we stick to the highway and play
 out the game, Be 1t early or late. -Gra ntland Rice. in the New York
