Skagway's Social Week


thorough cleaning, especially be- tween the buildings that set close together. where an accumulation of years is a menace to the safety of the town, as these accumularions are dry and spark of fire dropped or blown into them might prove most disastrous. Old fences tha' have fallen down should be given to anyone who will haul them away. Nothing so detracts from the popu- Iarity of a hotel as an iNkept hall or ragged rugs and too much worn stair carpet. and SO nothing gives a town bad or good name as quickly as first apearance". If the town looks "tacky' the first impression is that the people are fully in sym pathy with the appearance of the surroundings. The flower gardens and vegetable gardens of Skagway have a very euvsab'e reputation. but many of them are like heaurifuI pie lures in uusightIy and broken frames.

ESTEEM
By Edgar A. Chest

There is fortune richer far Than gold and silver treasures .~e And ft is won by patient strife. X gentle and welI-liyed life. By courage in the days ot stress. By helpful ways and cheor.unass 'Tis seldom won by brilliant deeds. No skiUIul cleveruoss il needs. No cunning tongue or gift or grace Can lift man to this lofty place Once lost the richest purse in vain Would seek to buy it hack again What is this .wealth of which 2 pan2 The friendship of your larlowmau. Behind al, outward show gou fad The culture of the gentle mind. Nor caste nor creed can place ban Upon a true-born gentleman. Who walks the world with head
 erect
 May justly claim the worlds ra-
 specr.
 The man too big to cheat OF Ito. Who takes but what his purse can
 buy.
 Whose name has como ,arough
 every test X shining symbol of his hest May own but little here of gold. And seldom may his fame he told. But he shall have until life ends The good opinion of his friends. To be respected for your worth Here is the greatest joy of earth To live your life so none can say That you have walked a shameful
 way. To come through sorrows time of
 tears,
 And bitter days and draary years. Still brave of soul and clean of
 hand.
 Fit with the best of men to stand. Is viclory-nor wealth nor grace Can make such glory commonplace. The man who walks in honor's ways And owns his ueighb0rs' love and
 praise
 Has more. when life's long tale is
 told.

Chilean Cranes Imported.

An experimental shipment of grapes vn> sent from Chile 10 New York, with a view of Hscertaining whether a market could be found in the United States for the product Of the Chilean yinpyards. The grapes were shipped in cold storage and are reported tc have arrived ln excellent condition. and to have been sold at highly sat tsrartory prices. It Is reported that another shipment Is planned as soon as arrangements can be made. The experiment is oc particular interest since it is possible that the eIpOrta- ton of fresh fruit from Chile to the United States might become very profitable. providing shipping facili- ties were available. Chile produces fine fruit of almost every variety known to the temperate zone, and It rfrous during the winter months in the United States, when the market would he at its best.

PENS LONG USED
Writing instruments Are of Great
 Antiquity.
Records Prove They Are as Old aB the Sword-constructed of
 Many Materials.

The pen is one Of the oldest instru- mcnts men use. Whether or not it is mighticr than the sword, as Bulwer LytDou makes the great French cardi- nal eNclaim in the play Of "Richelieu, it Is perhaps of as great antiquity as the sword. IL is not as old as stone headed war clubs or stone axes, but it seems 10 date back to the begin ming of mems knowledge Of metals and their alloys. As soon as men got the idea of inscrlbing symbols on stones as representing things or words, they used an iron instrument which was the parent, or the ancestor, of the pen. There were pens of iron and bronze and reeds, and later the QuiIs of feathers.
 The Assyrian kings and sCribes and the pEurncciuuS 2OOO years before Christ proclaimed their dynasties with dpcreps written with pens made from reeds and feathers. The early Greeks inscribed their letters with a stylus, but the later Greeks wrote with the 7uinS of geese, crows hawks and eagles. Pens of brass and silver were in use in Rome al the beginning of the Christian era.
 The stylus with which many Of the Greeks and Romans wrote was some thing like am iron bodkin and it came To be used SD often In brawls that 1t was pr0hbirpd-t Is, men were prohibited to use a stylus. The bod kin in old English times was no doubt a big alarming or knitting needle and Hamlet had that instrument in mind when he safd: When he his Quietus might make with a bare bodkin.'
 There are various references in the Bible Co pens. In the Book Of Judges, the frth chapter and the fourteenth verse Is this: Out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulum they that handle the pen of the writer" In l Kings, the twenty-hrst chnu.cr. in the matter of Ahab, Jeze- brI and Naboth it is written: "So she wrote letters in Ahah'S name, and sealed them with hIS seal and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobIoS that were in hIs city dwelling with Naborh." In the nineteenth chap rrr of Job. the tweny-third and twen- ty-fouvfh verses, is this: "Oh that my worrIS were now written Oh that they were printed In a book. That they we're graven with an iron pen and lead in rock forcver," The eighth chapter of Isaiah begins, Take thee a groat roIl and write in 1t with a mans rea concerning Maher-shalal-hash- haz." In the Third Epistle of John occurs this: "I had many things to write. hur I will not with ink and pen write Co thee"
 Pens of steel, gold and silver ap- nr.rrH in Great Britain. France and America about 1890 but they were very slow in gaining favor. They were expensive. clumsy and not as satisfactory as the quill But the anf. had reached the limit In the rfra,v with which it could be pointed and rhe gold and steel pens continued tu be improved in their smOothness and fpyfhu-y The first fountain rrn was patented about 1880 and the number of patents granted on foun- .aGn pens now reaches into the thou sands

SEVEN SEAMEN ARE
INJURED WHEN
LINER is STRUCK
Brought To Hospital In New York
Ship Proceeds Under Her
Own Steam

New York, Dec. 17.-Seven seamen
injured in the collision between the
liner Panama and the United States
destroyer Graham, off Seagirt, last
night, arrived here early today and

crew of the Graham. were W Fl.

most seriously injured. having suf.
fered concussion of the brain and
scalds from a broken steam pipe. The
others had received severe bruises
and decorations, but none of them was
dangerously injured.
The men were brought to this city
on board the Panama, which proceed
ed under her own steam after the ac-
cident. With them were brought fifty
seamen who were being taken to
Charleston on board the Graham for
distribution among various naval sta
tions in the southern states The
Graham, attended by the coast guard
boats Seneca and Gresham and ten
der Sandpiper came into port several
hours after the Panama arrived
A confusion of signals was said by
the crews to have caused the col
