WORDS OF WISE MEN.

Diffused knowledge immortalizes It. self.
 A Title commendation goes a long way.
 Ambition to merit praise fortifies our virtue.
 He who does what he can has done what he ought.
 The strength of will Is the test of a young mans possibilities.
 Truth Is a mighty instrument, what soever hand may wield it.
 All the best men have been best be cause they possessed ideals"
 The thought that conquers the world is not contemplative but active.
 Some doubts are as generous and passionate as the very noblest cond1- tions.
 Every noble life leaves the fiber Of if interwoven with the work or the world.
 To strive with difficulties and to con ouer them Is the highest human fri- umph.
 Cultivate the power of enjoying others joys; 1t Is the cheapest and most satisfactory form of happiness.

Her literary talent and helpful philosophy of life also won her a place here and her presence will be missed during the coming win ter.

WHITE HOUSE FACTS.

Thousands of visitors flock to the White House, so that today it is the best known residence In the world, but comparatively few people know the chief facts about this home of their President.
 The White House is so named be cause 1t is built of white freesione.
 The site was selected by President Washington and Maj. Peter Charles LEnfant, planner of the capital city in 1791.
 The architect was James Hcban of Dublin. The plans were chosen by competition.
 The cornerstone was laid October 13, 17a2.
 The first occupant was President and Mrs. Adams, in November, lS'n
 The White House was burned by the British in 1874.
 It was first heated by gas in 1S4S.
 A system of heating and ventilation was installed in 1858.
 The original cost of the White House was met out of the proceeds from the sale of lands donated by Maryland and Virginia.

Dr.. Jones Takes Charge Hospital
 At Petersburg
Succeeds Dr. H. C. Car others Who Has Re-
 moved to Seattle

Dr. A. B. Jones who came here from Petersburg the first of the year and opened a hospital in the Uhler Building later left this week for Petersburg where he has ta- ken charge of the hospital, suc- ceeding Dr. H. C. Carothers who is locating in Seattle. Dr. Jones spent three months in Petersburg before coming here. He re- turned from a stay of several weeks in Petersburg Sunday evening and began preparations immediately for the removal to his new location.
 Before leaving Dr. Jones stated to the Sentinel reporter that he was sorry to be leaving Wrangell as he liked the town and the people very much. He said that after travelling over the North from Ketchikan to Point Barrow he was of the opinion that Wran- gell is the cleanest town in all Alaska, his only criticism being that there are a few people here who persist in expectorating on the sidewalks and in public places, and that while this habit is by no means general, ltis entirely too prevalent for the public good. He said that where there is pull monary trouble, as among a few people here, this habit of expec- torating promiscuously is one that is sure to bring harmful results if permitted to go unchecked.

the lumber business and later was
cashier of the Aurelia State Bank.
With his pleasing personality he at
once gained the confidence and respect
of the Elsinore people and had, in the
few short months Of his residence
here, built up the interests Of the bank
and made remarkable place for HIM
self in business, social and lodge cir
cles.
Mr.. Horton was born in Northwood,
Iowa, December 18th, 1894, and pass
ed away January 25th, 1921, at the
