OLD TIME FLOWERS.
On my way down town this morn
ing 1 passed a little house sitting we'll
back from the street, surrounded bv
old fashioned flowers, such as we used
to have in the garden back home"
1t brought to my mind James Whit
comb Riley's sweet little poem about
the old fashioned roses. and I'm going
to re-publish it right here.
There ain't much style about 'em,
And they're sorta old and faded,
But the doorway. here without iem,
Would be lonesomer and shaded
With a good deal darker shaducr
Than the morning glory makes;
And the sunshine would be sadder.
For their good old fashioned sake.

RALEIGH'S TOMB NOT KNOWN
Considerable Uncertainty as to Where Body of Great EngIishman
 Was Finally Laid.

English newspapers have been en- gagged in controversy as to the location of the burial place of Sir Walter Raleigh in connection with the celebration of the three hun dredth anniversary of his birth. Bi- ographers of Raleigh supposed that, after his execution, the body was buried in the chancel of St. Mar garet's.
 The London Times, however, sug- gests that his body was placed there for short time only, and that Ra- leigh really was buried at Bedding ton, in Surrey, where the widow de- sired that he should rest. Raleigh's head was embalmed and cherished by his widow in "red leathern bagge" to the day of her death. The head was afterward inferred in the church at West Horsley, in Surrey.

Local Native People :.
 Celebrate Alaska Day

Alaska Day was observed by the Natives of Wrangell at St. Philips Gymnasium last Satur- day evening under the direction of the Government School. The hall was crowded and the affair was a splendid success. Follow ing a half hours community sing led by Mrs. w. w. Mclaughlin, an enjoyable program was given. The musical numbers were inter- spersed by interesting talks by Chester Warrington and Rev. Corser. Mrs. William Tamaree read an article written by herself and published in the October issue of The Home Mission Monthly. After a talk by the teacher, plans were made to form a Physical Culture club for the. Natives, with MT. G. c. Mitchell as in- structor. The club will meet on Saturday nights at the Gymna- sium. The first hour will be de- voted to instruction in singing by Mrs. w. w. Mclaughlin. Fol lowing the physical exercises it is planned to have a general social time for the rest of the evening.
 A number of Bayview boys who are in town favored the gathering with several selections on stringed instruments, and a number of choruses. The boys sang and played splendidly and their music was a treat to all who heard them.
 Refreshments were served by the school girls.

With lots of money in his pocket he sought a wife in Alaska, wanted one, was willing to be kind to her and give her all the luxuries in the world, vet he couldn't find one in Alaska-or so he says. The fol- lowing, taken from a New York paper, tells the sad story:
 Christian Nelson, who came to this country a poor Danish sailor seven and half years ago, sailed for Copenhagen yesterday on the liner United States worth S75o, 900.
 While he was in Baltimore he rescued a man who fell off a fishing boat. The man was a wealthy real estate operator, and gave Nel- son SI,ooo and the advice to go West. Nelson went to San Fran cisco, and from there to Alaska, where he became rich.
 There being few women in Alas ka, he placed an advertisement in a Copenhagen newspaper for wife. He received a reply from Miss Julia Lober of that Danish city, with her photograph, and is on his way there to marry her.
 He said she does not know about his wealth. He carried in his pocket $2, 900 engagement ring. Nelson said he intended bringing his bride to New York to live.

What Do You Think of That7

There is an aspect of spider and fly relation which fabulists and natural ists alike have overlooked. An ob- server has brought the microscope to bear on many house flies and finds that the parasite upon that hateful insect is often m immature spider. Too weak yet to spin its web it makes the fly its winged palfrey, and courses from place to place at the will of it's captive: either until Pegasus per ishes naturally or presumably until the rider has grown up and is able to make meal of his charger.

UTILIZING WASTE.

Two striking illustrations of the manner in which large industries are learning to utilize waste mate- rials are to be found in the activities of a large beet-sugar concern. The beet pulp which formerly was thrown away is now made into an excellent cattle food, the net re- ceipts from which in the last year were sufficient to pay the dividend on the preferred stock of the com- pany.
 At cost of $123,ooo plant has been erected which is to extract pot ash, ammonia, etc., from the water heretofore allowed to flow into the ocean as waste. It is expected the plant will pay for itself the first year.

SILK AND BIG GUN FIRING
Probability That Chemically Treated Cotton cIcth Will Take Place of
 the More Expensive Material.

Chemically treated cotton cloth, as substitute for silk. IS btiug tested out by the ordnance depart ment. If found practicable for ordnance uses the discovery will eff feet the double result of meeting a serious shortage Ill silk and of bringing about money saving in the ordnance program estimated at between S25,0O0.0OO and $35.000,- 900.
 At present millions of yards of silk are required Ill making the bags which contain the large pow der charges used in the firing of heavy artillery.
 Heretofore silk has been depend- ed upon for these bags for the req son that no other cloth material has been found that would meet the peculiar conditions required. It IS essential that not a particle of the bag container shall remain after the gun is fired. Otherwise a smolder- ing piece of the fabric might cause a premature explosion when a new charge was inserted. - Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering.

1.-THE SINS OF
 THE WHALE "

We rise to defense of Jonah, says humorous writer. He was not a bad sort. In fact, he had always been a good citizen and a friend of the poor, but because he baked at going on a political mis- sion to a bum town the political machine hired a gang of pirates to pitch him from the hurricane deck and compel him to swallow whale -or was it the other way? It was a mean trick and Jonah knew it, and he made 1t so hot for the whale that the latter spewed him out at Long Beach, in which city, for his own safety, be feigned repentance and delivered the message with which he had been intrusted.
 However, ever since that time the sons of the prophet have had it in for the whale, and at last the time has come to get even. Today whale steak is being sold in great quantities at the butcher shops. It is cheap meat and is almost as good as mutton or veal. Take a whale steak half an inch thick, drop it in boiling water for a min ute, adding a pinch of soda, then take it out and place it in a hot, greased pan, scar it quickly OH both sides, fry it for three minutes, add butter, pepper and salt, and you have a dish fit for king. Yer lily the sins of the whales are vis- ited upon their children.

When the tide came in the boat started to fill and the crew were engaged in bail ing the water out, in an endeavor to keep the boat from swapping, when they heard an explosion in the engine room, and before they could do anything to save the boat she was mass of flames.
 The Homer was burned to the waters edge. It is not known as yet whether the engine can be sal vaged or not. MT. Spenser esti- mates the loss at SI5,ooo. The Homer was 65 feet in length and one of the larger cannery tenders of this section. Petersburg Re- port.
