GOOD BUSINESS.

If I possessed shop or store,
I'd drive the grouches off my floor;
I'd never let some gloomy guy
Offend the folks who came to buy;
I'd never keep boy or clerk
With mental toothache at his work,
Nor let man who draws my pay
Drive customers of mine away.
I'd treat the man who takes my time
And spends nickel or a dime,
With courtesy and make him feel
That I was pleased to close the deal,
Because tomorrow, who can tell?
He may want stuff l have to sell,
And in that case then glad he'll be
To spend his dollars all with me.
The reason people pass one door
To patronize another store
Is not because the buster place
Has better silks or gloves or lace,
Or cheaper prices, but it lies
In pleasant words and smiling eyes;
The only difference, l believe,
Is in the treatment folks receive
1t is good business to be fair.
To keep a bright and cheerful afr
About the place, and not to show
Your customers how much you know;
Whatever any patron did "a c1}'G
I'd try to keep my temper hid,
And never let him spread along
The word that ! had done him wrong.

EXPENSIVE MONUMENT
ERECTED OVER GRAVE
OF TEXAS NEGRO LAD

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. 1.-THE
largest and most expensive ceme-
terry monument in Fort Worth just
has been erected over the grave of
a negro boy-the son of William
CGooseneck BilP') Mcdonald, ia
nous as a politician and banker.
The cost was $4,000. The monu-
ment,i which is of polished Quincy
granite, is thirty-one feet high.
The grave cover is of solid granite.
"Gooseneck Bill Mcdonald, who
has national reputation in re-
publican circles, is rated as the
wealthiest member of his race in
Texas and perhaps in the south.
During the 1920 republican con,
vention in Chicago, Mcdonald led
the. fight. of the "black and tan,
element of the party and appeared
many times before the national ex-
ecutive committee. He was defeat
ed, however, in every effort to Sc
cure the seating of his delegates.
Since the convention he has lived
in retirement so far as politics are
concerned. 49,

In its Enthusiastically dispassionate and de-
ached style, The Associated Press Saturday carried
the following account of the last meeting between
George Bosko, a murderer about to be hanged
and his mother:
'At o'clock Mrs Bosko was admitted to
her sons cell and remained with him for half
hour, embracing and kissing him many

utes she told the visit must end. She then
collapsed and had to be carried from the CELL
This greatly affected Bosko. Throwing
himself his cot he cried out that he wanted

This bare and almost colorless account gives
those thirty minutes behind the bars Of the Colo

sIDELIGHT ON TWIN ToTEMS.

Editor Morning Journal
Dear Mr.. Magee:-The Twin
Totems" pictured on the back page
of the Journal for December 8 are
located at Alert Bay, British Co.
lumbia, on the extreme north end
of Vancouver Island, instead of at.
Albert Bay, Alaska. l have person
ally been there many times and
have pictures of those totems, as.
well as others, in my collection.
Alert Bay is small village Of
about 900 Indians and fifty whites,
the latter being employed in a sal
mony cannery and sawmill. Five
months of the year the Indians fish
for their living, and during the re-
naming seven months they work
on totem poles, loaf and hold pot
latches. The Indian who can give
away the largest quantity of valua-
bles, regardless of his circum-
stances, is proclaimed an honored
man at potlatch time. na
The particular totem poles shown
in your picture represent tribal his
tory rather than a family tree, and
were years in the process of con-
struction, all designs being carved
out by hand with crude instru-
ments. The various figures are
brightly colored with natural dyes.
OF unusual interest at Alert Bay
is a totem pole sixty feet in height
with a spread OF eagle wings more
than twenty-five feet in diameter.
AT the base of the pole is the
eagles beak which is made to open
by raising the upper half. When a
native couple is married they are
passed through this beak, signify
ing the entrance into a new and
strange life.
Very sincerely.

A mystic sorrow, underlined, it's

strongly to the mind of every hui

fondest goal, and frozen, as with

soul. And there is pity in their
glance when you they contem-

nance, Manfred up to date.
But if you tell them you have
corns, they mutter, "Shoo!" or

On arriving at Oliver's Inlet, the party split up into several divisions in order to thoroughly SCOUT the sur rounding country. Not/until late in the ,ovening did any of the members reach camp again, and when they finally struggled in, singly and in pairs, without exception, each pre- scented a most woebegone appearance.
 Paul and Waterud, in attempting to follow some deer tracks got lost and had wandered aimlessly through
 the woods until they at last reached the beach, So confused were they, however, that they could not tell whether it was Divers Inlet or Seymour Canal. When just about

 Goetz came into camp minus the heel on one of his shoes, which he had lost in wild flight from a bear.

TILLAMOOK TO BE RUN IN COASTWISE TRADE
 UNTIL. STATUS FIXED

Advices have been received at the Alaska Customs House that the Commissioner of Navigation has granted the steamer Tillamook, op- erated in Alaskan waters as a feed CT to the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail road, permission to continue in the traffic pending further investigation as to her ownership.
 It has been held at Washington that the Tillamook was owned by the Grand Trunk Dock Company, an American corporation, major ity of whose stock was owned by aliens. and therefore not eligible for service in the American coastwise trade, and, under the Jones bill, she was barred from handling Am erican freight in bond between Prince Rupert and American ports.
 The question of ownership, to decide whethe rare not the Tilla- mock is really an American bottom under the provisions of the Jones bill, will be made by the Commits sioner of Navigation.
