her her faults if they notice any. The
insinCere ones will gloss them over and
secretly rejoice in seeing her make
mistakes which in the end may prove
fatal to her happiness, even her repu-
tatiOn.
If young woman is extremely pop
ular with the opposite sex, she is sure
to create envy among the less prepOs-
seSsing of her own sex. These girls
envy her, but consider II exceedingly
clever on their part to keep in close
cOmpaniOnship with her to be intro
duced 10 her young men friends and,
through her, get the opportunity Of
meeting them often. They flatter the
popular girl, slyly, cOvertly putting her
on the wrong track whenever possible.
They are sweet to her face, but de-
fame her in the bitterest sarcasm be-
hind her back. They do their utmost
to influence her TO choose hats and
costumes that are the most unbecOm-
ing TO her and praise a way of wear
ing her hair that changes her from q
pretty young woman into a freak.
They pOOh-poOh her old mothers
wise counsel when they are alone with
her, pouring unwise suggestions in her
ear. They tell her it is pity that she,
the bright particular star Of the ball,
should be obliged TO go home at eleven
O'Clock, which is just the edge Of the
evening, to please the notion of an
old lady who has forgotten what it Is
to be young and gay. The real reason
behind their urging her to remain I'M
til the ball breaks up is that many of
the most desirable young men leave
after the popular girl has gone home.
If she has two wOuld-be lovers, one
a splendid business man of sterling
honor and reputation, the other q
trifiing ne'er do well, with a good
looking face, her false, envious friends
will do their utmost in a subtle way
to influence her to choose the rake In
direct opposition of her happiness and
welfare.
Envious friends are thousand times
worse than an avowed foe. One knows
what to expect from an enemy. The
enviOus friend strikes a treacherous
blow in the dark. A girl should have
as wide a circle of desirable acQuain-
tances as possible, but the friends she
clasps to her bosom she should be sure
Of through long contact and expert
ence with them.
If poverty or disaster comes to a
woman, then she will soon be able to
sift the wheat of real friendship from
the chaff. When a girl makes the IN
welcome discovery that certain wOm-
en- are envlOus of her past all doubt
ing she should avoid them as much as
possible. Treat them with courtesy,
but shut all the approaches to her
heart against them. True friendship
is "the secret sympathy. the silver
link, the silken tie, which heart to
heart and mind to mind, in body and
in soul can bind" Envy wrlthes at
another's Joy and hates that excel
lence 1t cannot reach"

"YeS, sir; you're the gentleman Miss

the sentiment of a commendatory an

Gordon Leigh's life and thoughts
now began to center about the young
lady in blue. He learned casually that
her given name was Vera, and fancied
1t the sweetest name in the world.
He found out further that her folks
lived ten miles from the village, whom
she visited from Friday night until

and they did not reach that place. Their boat is now at Anvik, or was when the teacher related the story to me, and the Indian possessor of 1t says that he found 1t in the slough. Now comes the evidence of crime. Shageluk Indian who was worthless, who never had had $20 at one time, returned to Shageluk from a trip and lasted three days and nights. His tives, who knew that 1t meant he had killed somebody. The following fall this cuitus native gave big potlatch at a lower village, and to provide the stuff for his feast he paid the trader at the village the sum of $1,700. Con sidering the fact that this particular savage never caught a dozen furs in one season, never chopped more than two or three cords of wood at one time, and never was known to have any money, is not this sudden acquisi- ton of $1,700, along with his three day fast, conclusive evidence that he was one of the parties, at least, to the murder of the two white miners. The school teacher thought so, and so do I, and 1t seems to me that Indians should not be allowed to go any fur ther along this road. I don't know whose duty it is to investigate this matter, but as it is in the Fourth di- vision, l presume it would be some official up there. And for my part don't know why the government school teacher who was there and knew all the facts did not start the wheels of the law. It seems to me more important to teach the Indians to be good people than 1t Is to teach them to spell. AS to that, though. that section up there is the land of the sacred Siwash, and the principle seems to me to be all wrong. ."-Tdit. arod Pioneer.

subsidies? Take the dyestuff indus try, for instance. The bureau of for eign and domestic commerce Of the United States has recently issued a "dyestuff census" designed to ac- quaint American dyestuff manufac turers, actual and prospective, with the conditions of that industry. This census enumerates the various kinds of dyes manufactured and gives the amount of each consumed in the nor nal demands of this country. One large eastern dye maker. the report claims. was saved million dollars in useless experiments by being per mitted to see the report in proof
 Advice Without Protection.
 If advice could build up the dye stuffs industry in America and afford it protection afterward, then the dye. stuff census of the bureau of foreign and Domestic commerce has met all requirements. Unfortunately, it fails to disclose the character of competi- tion which the industry, once estab- lished here, will be called upon to meet. This, however, is furnished in measure by a report from the secre- tary of the commercial attache of this government at London.
 Not so many months have elapsed since Great Britain took the first steps toward securing deliverance from the domination of Germany in dyestuff manufacture. How far the British government has progressed may be gathered from the report last mentioned. which states that all of the capital stock for British Dyes, Ltd.' has now been subscribed It is further stated that in making the sub scriptions necessary in British Dyes" the British government has advanced t 1 against every similar amount sub. scribed by the general public. The in terest to be returned on the invest ment will be four per cent for the gov ernment and six per cent for the pri- vate shareholders, these rEtes to re. main the maximum as long as any part of the public loan continues in the concern.
 Viewing the entire field these are few of the conditions with which Am. erican industries are confronted. The conclusion is unavoidable that advice | without protection will prove made quate to the situation.

STORY DOUBLE MUROERLOWER
 |NNOkO

A somewhat sensational account of the disappearance c: two men who were journeying on the lower Innoko in a rowboat appears in the Nome Nugget. The school teacher who re. lated the story, 1t would appear to the ordinary reader. should not have allowed "a year or so" to eiapse with out reporting the matter to the authorizes. and 1t might appear to be worthy of little credence were the circumstances not given so minutely
 So far as known no one in this vi cinity has any knowledge of the sus. pected crime. The marshal's office In this city never has been notified of such an occurrence, and Sieggard Wigg. who makes frequent journeys to the localities described, says he has never heard anything of the strange story related. But he does say that there are some bad" natives in that section, and it would not be surprising If there were some truth in the story. The school teacher re- ferred to may be Roy Fuller, now United States commissioner at For tuna Ledge, who some years ago was the government teacher at Shageluk. and later filled similar position at Russian Mission.
 The Nugget article is as follows:
 "A recent arrival from the Yukon states that the simple and guileIess Indian. in spite of missionaries and government schools. has at last learn ed the capital crime of the white man, namely, killing fer plunder He says:
 "'The Yukon Indians have learned many things of the whites. some good. some bad. They have learned to speak English, with many swear words thrown in; to plant garden, but no: to care for 1t; to work on steamboat and squander their money on useless geegaws; to cut wood industriousiy and then loaf until their last bit of flour is gone; to charge all the traffic will bear for their fish and their curios. and to lie glibiy. They have learned to drink and gamble. It has taken time for them to learn all these things. and now at last they have learned to murder white men for theil outfits and money. met one mar who wanted to go trapping on the up per kuskokwim this winter. but h, isn't going, because he says he ii afraid the Indians would xii. him.
