GEMS OF THOUGHT

Take away from mankind their van ity and their ambition. and there would be but few claiming to be he roes or patriots.-Seneca.
 There is no strength in unbelief. Even the unbelief of what is false Is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to .disbelieve.-G. Macdonald.
 In the hands of unbelief half-truths are made to do the work of whole falsehoods. The sowing of doubts Is the sowing of dragons teeth. which ere long will sprout up into the armed and hostile men.-E. F. Burr.
 Johnson we'll says: "He who waits to do great deal of good at once will never do anything" Life is made up of little things. It is very rarely that an occasion Is offered for doing great deal at once. True greatness consists in being great in little things.-C. Sim mons.

 Remember life's record is always written with an indelible pencil. Hence SO many obscuring blOts. Always try to transplant young sprouts into better soil. Your young life Is one of them. It were not seemly to think you're "the only man In the world"-but try to think you know one mighty good one.

Wrangell. Alaska


 April 2s, 1920. A. M. White Company, Juneau, Alaska. Dear Sirs:
 Referring 10 your letter of the 2lst inst, it Is true that we shipped about S30, ,0O0.0O turs through the bank to Well Bros. this season.
 The principal reason we ship ped this amount to them was be- cause they handled our business satisfactorily and paid fair price for the goods.
 We did receivea Veil circular and you deserve credit for this. However, we shipped to several other houses which did not mail us any advertising matter. The reason Well got the big end of our business was because he treated us right.
 Yours very truly,
 G. w. UPSHAW,
 Vice-President. (This is a reproduction of letter to our advertis- ing agent in Alaska.)

 Fort Wayne, Indiana.
 Gentlemen: It may surprise you to know that the loo rats that shipped you, and for which you paid ne S200.00 that these rats were shipped to one of the mos. prominent fur houses in the United States at Chicago, and they offered 90 cents piece for them. They were ordered to be returned, and were returned to Nebraska. l thought it was right to tell you this. because where one firm pays 900 per cent more for an article than another firm in the same line of business-and that firm claiming to be one of the largest in the United States - you are quite right in calling yourselves THE OLD SQUARE DEAL FUR HOUSE of Fort Wayne, as you certainly do give a square deal. I have not only received a square deal on this shipment but on great many other shipments.
 If anyone doubts this state- ment they can write to me for confirmation, enclosing postage, and l will affirm it.
 With my kindest personal re- gards, I remain

PLANT LIFE HAS
 NERVOUS SYSTEM
 CLAIMS SAVANT

Plant life has a nervous system; 1t is even more highly sensitive than human beings; can receive and record wireless signals, has a "heart'' which causes pulsations fast or slow acord ing to it's fitness and finally, dies in a violent spasm similar to that of a fatally wounded animal.
 And metals, so long considered abso- 1utely dead, exhibit T.tigue under prolonged shock; and exhaltation of response under stimulants, and ire sponsiveness under the action of poi sons.
 These discoveries are reported in the Pal Mall Gazette from an Indian sa- want after fifteen years close study of plants and inorganic matter. Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose, head of the famous institute in Calcutta which bears his name, gave a demonstra- i ton of his remarkable discoveries at the India office, and it is probably ! true that every member Of a highly 1 intellectual audience left amazed by
 what they heard and saw. 1 His discoveries have revealed : re- markable similarities in plant and ami nal life.
 i Not only are the green leaves and the thick stems merely sensitive to stimulant and narcotic; to the slight
 est change in atmosphere, and so on
 but they suffer" if violently treated 1 Strike a tree trunk, and Q nervous system the sensibility of which is de licate in the extreme will contract as | though in pain.
 1 Given an overdose of stimulant and its growth is retarded, for the food iibecomes a poison. It dies in a spasn and with a Shudder.
 The range of sensibility of plants is Indeed, wider than that of human be ings, for whereas man is unable tc perceive signals, Sir Jagadis has sue lceeded in making the plant itself re ceive and record wireless signals iron
 long distances.
 This Indian savant has invented in
 struulents by which the plants record
 on a screen their movements unde various conditions.
 He shows these records made by tn icresccgraph which magnifes the move ments many hundreds of thousand
 of times.
