Ashes Of Love.

Ashes Of Love.
Two hearts carved in an old oak
Referred to Marguerite and me.
Twas many, many years ago
When first 1 was q Romeo,
But still never will forget
When first I met fair Juliet.
A little note. in childish scrawl,
Said: II luv you" and that was all.
She promised me she would be my
wife.
We laid plans for our future life.
I was the happiest of men
When she was eight and was ten.
One day the measles laid me low.
1 couldn't 60 to school and so
She sent a letter through the mail
And said her love would never fail.
Life held no further 'charr4s for me
And, Marguerite. twas pain to see
Was in the depths of grim despair.
Her pigtails dropped with gloomy
?. air.
Our folks objected to the match.
We met out in the pumpkin patch,
In secret. She was charming then
When she was eight and was ten.
L never will forget the day
A deadly rival came my way.
She said that we would have to
part
Because he'd captured her fond
heart.
She looked upon me as a kid
Years later she wed him. she did
I met her some years after that
She had hve children in one nat
And was not handsome as of yors
And ia been wed i've years before.
And I was no young Romeo
As. was in the long ago.
We both were glad Fate stepped
In when
She was Just eight and I was ten.

 The question of Charles future place of residence is giving the Allies considerable worry. They do not in tend that he shall remain here and it is understood that Switzerland does not him to return to that home for exiled monarchs. The Allies want him placed where he cannot escape again.

TWENTY-FOUR OLDTIMERS
 ENTERED HOME IN 1920

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, twenty-four persons were .adraitted to the Pioneers Home at Sitka, six were discharged, 14 died, and 18 women and 81 men were on the pension roll during the year ac- cording to a report made to Cover nor s. c. Bone by R. W. De Armond secretary of the Board of Trustees.
 Plans for improvement of the home also have been announced by Gov. Bone. These include rear rangement of the heating system, the present plant having been con- demned as source of much waste, and greatly increasing the cost of the Home.
 In the installation of new heat ing plant the trustees will use as much of the piping and radiation as possible. The institution is at pres ent heated with a 60-horsepower boiler It is desired to cut off some of the buildings entirely, install a Pacific boiler of special size under the main building and install a smaller one under the residence of the superintendent.
 Lockie MacKinnon, who recently inspected the home, said there was little complaint among the inmates and that the institution was a splen- did one.

ritory will benefit greatly from such a visit.
 While waiting for his confirmation, the marshal spent considerable time in Ohio and was assured that he could get all the backing he wanted for a dragline mining proposition, providing he is able to demonstrate the practicability of such an enter prise, and he believes he can. He has already taken steps to organize a company and expects to have small drag working within the near future. Marshal Stevens does not intend to quit the mining game al together just because he has been appointed to office.
 Conditions are bad in the States, the marshal says-particularly so in the East on account of congested population. He saw idle men wher- ever he went and in Nebraska and elsewhere in that section of the country crops cannot be moved ow- ing to the excessive railroad charges. Corn is cheaper than coal in Ne braska.
 At the time the marshal left the East, it seemed certain that the railroad employees throughout the country would carry out their threat to strike, but he believes the lowering of freight rates, as plan ned by the interstate commerce commission, will have the effect of preventing a general walkout.
 In a number of cities in Ohio the railroads are laying of their old employees and hiring boys and young men at materially reduced wages. One of the outfits which had adopted that method of cutting wages, put a high barbed wire fence about the works to keep union men at a safe distance after they had been fired.
 Marshal Stevens was accompanied on the trip North by Mir. and Mrs. .C. C. Webster. Mrs. Webster is a niece of the marshal and she and her husband are having their first look at Alaska.

NEW CANADIAN STEAMER
 TO ENTER ALASKA FIELD

A new Canadian Pacific steamer for the Nancouver-Skagway run was launched at Vancouver on August 29. l. was named the Princess Louise in honor of the first Cana dian Pacific steamer operated on the Pacific coast, and is entirely Brit ish Columbia product. She will be the queen of the coastfise fleet in tonnage and second in length, the Princess Charlotte being longer. She is of steel, 4200 gross tons, 330 feet long over all, BIT B. P, with a beam of 48 feet, and a depth of 18.6 feet. She will be an economical fuel consumer, having single screw, and engines of 4500 h. D., and she will make about 17.5 knots.

Her furnaces are arranged to burn oil but are easily converted for coal burning.
 The Louise will be luxurious in all her appointments. She will have rooms for 300 passengers, including A seconds, and cargo space for 600 tons. There will be hot and cold water in all the staterooms and the lighting will be exceptionally fine. A dance floor and sun par Tor are attractive features.
 The Louise will come north next spring to take the place of the Princess Royal and the coast cities of Southeastern Alaska will be as sured of service by boat that IS second to none on the Pacific coast.
