Luke McLuke Says

Another good bet is that you'll never get to the front if you depend on your friends to push you there.
 No matter how hard of hearing a woman may be she is never deaf to fiattery.
 A chronic borrower may fool your sense of sight, but you will soon de- tect him by the sense of touch.
 Why is it that the faster man is the longer it takes him to get home at night?
 Men are all alike. They will give away something they have no use for and then expect a lot of praise for their liberality.
 An old man is just about as anX- ious to conceal his ignorance as young man is to display his knowledge.
 Almost any dub of a woman can manage a husband. But it takes a mighty able man to manage a wife. ny f1at-chested girl in decollete gown. What he objects to is sec ing so much of her out of it. Wouldn't you like to have all the money you have dropped in trying to pick up more? So would we, brother, so would we. When you see a woman wearing dress that fits her like her epi- dermis, it is a sign that she hasn't any kick coming on the figure that nature gave her. i Every man in the world is gen. l erous to a fault But you can make a good bet that it is one of his own faults.
 It doesn't take much to convince wife. But it takes more than her husband has to keep her con vinced.
 Even when man minds his own | business he is apt to discover that i his neighbors are doing it for him. 1 Husbands and babies get a lot of nursing and betting when they are brand ntw.
 The kind of man who is always squawking because his money does not go long way is usually the same fellow who won't let it go at all.

MAKE YUKON INDEPENDENT
Dawson NewS)


 The time has come for Yukon to do it's utmos to start the movement to make itself independent that is to Say, independent of the outside world fol food supply The Northand has vast meat supply and increase it greatly. It also has reached the stage where it produces large portion of it's etables More vegetables surely be produced, there little doubt but what in time cereals alst will be portion of the northern product.
 Already parts of Alaska growing and thresh ing grains In the Panama valley tributary of the lower Yukon, 1,250 bushels of grain including wheat oats and buckwheat harvested last year. Such products be converted into bread The Tanana valley already has flour mill, and has made some flour It has been suggested by local growers that expenditure of a thousand dollars whereabouts would buy harvester, thresher and grinder and that if the government will invest in these articles they be placed at the disposal of the the mining drills handled by the government It at least will do harm to look into the propo siton If found feasible it will go long way toward encouraging home production and the keeping of money at home which goes outside to turn.
 Let the Yukon council at it's next session take up these different propositions of encouraging home duction of meats, vegetables, grain and fodder. It will be worth while, and will be an aid to the nation Yukon in it's effort to develop and remain permanently the map. Every mouthful that be raised here means just that much more left outside for ship ment to the Allied heroes fighting battles

This Is Terrihle

We are mortified. Imagine man who uses liquor passing himself of as Luke McLuke, A souse was pick ed up in Oklahoma City one day last week and when taken to the sta tion house Sergeant Ted Blakely asked his name:
 "Muh names Luke McLuke," re- piled the stew.
 "Aw, gwan,' said the Sergeant "what are you trying to give us? What is your real nane when you're sober?'
 Muh names Luke McLuke," re- peated the animated bun.
 Are you the man that writes all that stuff in the newspapers?' asked the Sergeant.
 "Donno nothin' about writin', replied the inebriate. My namesh Luke McLuke."
 And they slowed him away to sleep it off.
 Isn't it just too humiliating?

LEAVESES ON THE TREESES.
Philadelphia Recird.)

(1Hllduelpuld ppCll utJ
 When winters arctic breezeS
 Give us coughs and wheezes,
 Sniffles, colds and sneezes,
 And all kinds of diseases;
 When sidewalks slide like greases, And our trousers lose their creases As we fall and hurt our kneeses- Oh! the pain, it never eases;
 When the coal mans bill increases Till we burn our mantlepieces;
 When the servants pack valises And go off to fight for peaces; When the water piping freezes, And, with greed no Weath appeases The plumber never ceases
 To count his els and teeses And charge just what he pleases, Till our pocketbook he squeezes And our bank accounts he seizes- 1 Then every man agreeseS He'd like to see the leaves Putout upon the treeses; Hear the frogs and bumblebeeses And the blue birds and peweescs;
 Eat strawberries with green peases Stead of doggies, hash and cheese :; See the circus with trapezes, Lions, bears and chimpanzeeses, And the side show with trained fleases,
 And with eight foot six Chineses; Watch the bathing suit that leases As she wades into the seases.

SELF-APPOINTED GUARDIANS
(Ketchikan Progressive -Miner)

(Kechikan Progressive Nliner)
 Selfappointed guardians of the worlds conduct not lacking; not Alaska And how they crop out and again, is mystery to most of Here have John Ballane a former Alaskan when occasions suited him-who has preferred charg. against Riggs Governor of Alaska. Simultan eously have Maloney and Mrs Hatcher cropping out in effort to reform the Democratic machine In the former, find that he has always been at the head sensational charges against full men, In Maloney have a who holds a Territorial position and who finds time to work fol his personal if not for others personal interest, meanwhile drawing his salary. In the latter have archreformer who thrives in reforming others but who negects to reform herself, in that she wanders off leaving the Old man. to shift for himself the wilderness of Alaska while she goes reforming Oth But why don't they stay at home and try to look at themselves others them? In our opn- ion, they would surely find work do their own reform. At least that is the way it looks to But by admitting much class ourself reformer Really this world is made up of reformers the difference lies only in this In some the dency to reform is exercised others, while others reform themselves first. But when we con slider the subject with all fairness must admit that all reformers-of others. Even the Kaiser appears to be mbued with the same notion.

The privelege of conversion which arose in consequence of the issue of 4A per cent bonds of the Third Lii berty Loan will expire on November 9th and under exsisting law cannot be extended or renewed.
