One of the most exquisite wedding presents that we have seen in a long time is leather pillow made by Mir and Mrs. J. P. Ludwig of Wrangell, as a wedding present for Mrs Lud- wigs sister in Oregon who is to be married in less than a month. The top is of rich brown velvet finish colt, and the bottom of a rich black Arabian colt. The top is beautifully hand tinted in blue and gold. There is an inlaid bar of music to the tune of Home Sweet Home. The top of the pillow is further decorated with butterflies and other designs. all beautifully done in applique. Those who have seen the pillow are so en- thusiastic about it that they have persuaded MT. and Mrs. Ludwig to permit the pillow being placed on display in one of the show widows of Campbell Brothers store. It will be on display but few days before it is sent south.

SUCCESS NUGGETS

Keep your courage up and your temper down.
 The best way out of a difficulty Is through 1t.
 A mans hardest competitor ought to be himself.
 Waiting to be a somebody will make you nobody.
 The art of pleasing is the art of ris- ing in the world.
 Man never reaches heights above his habitual thought.
 Do not turn your back on troubles; {; meet them squarely.
 Courtesy Is to business and society what oil Is to machinery.
 The barriers are not yet erected which shut out aspiring talent.
 Every man is a fool at least 10 min. utes day. Don't exceed the limit. A minute of keeping your mouth shut Is worth an hour of explanations. Your heart must inspire what your hands execute, or the work will be poorly done.

PIT. A. Committee
 Makes Report

The committee on playgrOunds, appointed at the last meeting, re- ported having visited two tracts of land close in. One was the tract back of the residence of the Salvation Army captain near Church street, comprising blocks 53 and 54, which includes U. S. Reserve No. 4. It was stated that this land was fiat enough and of sufficient size to afford an ex- tensive playground and the highest part would be beautiful and prac- tical building site for a school at some future time. It is easy to clear, and the grade is such that a good drainage can be secured, according to the committee. The second tract vis- ited was that adjoining the Presby- terian church. While this section is ideal for residence property, the com
 mittee was of the opinion that it was not so suitable for a playground as the other since it would require a greater amount of clearing and grading and would not be so large The report was accepted by the as- sociation and the committee which consists of H. W. Gartley. chairman, Mrs. Gartley, Mrs. M. O. Johnson, A. Engstrom and J. G. Grant will con- tinue to act. A map of the city was brought to the meeting Thursday night by MT. Gartley and was studied by those present at recess called for that purpose by the president.

Better Homes weeek was observed week was Better Speech Week, This week, Nov. 12 to IS, is Motion Pic ture Book Week, a plea for better films for the family group. Women's school superintendents and exhibi- ors are especially urged to cooperate by the large committee of repre- sentatives from prominent organiza- tions all over the land. The plea re- ceived by the local club came too late to take action, as suggested, as the pictures shown at the local theatre are booked ahead and cannot be changed at short notice as in the States. A list of plays picturized from the best literature suitable for young people up to IS years of age and equally entertaining to adults who appreciate the best in cinema art accompanies the letters sent out by the committee and this list shows that there is no scarity of pictures made from good books. One such pie ture shown each week in all the the atres would be a step in the right di- rection. A copy of letter which is signed for theatre managers closes with the following paragraph:
 Your theatre is a community in stitution We want you to join in this community plan to interest young people in the better types of pictures and especially those drawn from approved literature. Take this card to your exchange and book pie lures from the Book Week List of the National Committee for Better Films for the week November 12-1S. If you do this, arranging fine pro- grams with Book Week feature, we will do our part in helping to make them a success. Let us hear from you.

.ierd Tale
 Of Tropics
 InFar North
Climatic Phenomenon Is Re-
 ported by Mining Engin- eer Who Discovers aVast
 Paradise Amidst Snow Capped Mountains in the
 Region Beyond the Liard

Now comes Frank Perry, mining engineer, with a story of a tropical valley in the heart of the frozen North near the Yukon boundary where boiling rivers so heat the surrounding countrythat rose bushes grow to the height of trees, while veins of precious metals run side by side to mountains of coal and fierce bubbling springs of oil.
 For seventeen years, with only two pack dogs to carry his equipment Perry explored the unknown sub Arctic regions until he by chance came upon this vast paradise in the midst of snow-covered mountains, according to story in the Dawson News.
 The area of terrain is roughly TOO miles north and south, and 300 miles wide; it lies between the coastal range and the Liard and Fort Nelson Rivers, and contain factors hitherto unknown to Canadians.
 Crossing a range one winter and reaching the crest Perry prepared to descend into the next valley when he was surprised to find it was covered with heavy fog. This valley was approximately 200 miles long and about 40 wide. Rivers of hot water ran through it, fed by hun dreds of hot springs, which bubbled out of the ground in all directions, the steam from these being condens- ed on rising and forming the fog which he had first seen from the range crest.
 Perry remained in this valley and it's neighborhood for a year, and never before in his experiences in game country had he seen so many wild animals which congregated there for the luxuriant vegetation that was made possible by the heat generated by the springs. In the val ley were hundreds of mountain sheep and goats, caribou and moose, with bears and other fur bearing animals.
 Due to the exceptionally good grazing in the valley, Perry states that the moose and deer looked like the pictures of the old Norman horse-almost square from fat-and they were so tame that he has been able to walk amongst them, and could almost touch them as they fed.
 This country is never visited by the Indians due to the fact that the imprints of huge three-toed pre-his- toric animals are found in the sand stones and shales; the Indians think these monsters still roam the coun- try, and although they know it to be hunters paradise they give the valley wide berth. In addition to the hot springs at boiling temper ature, there are mineral springs of various descriptions.
 The black soil is of depth which Perry estimated at between sixty to seventy feet on clay sub soil. while the tree growth was ab- normal. The ordinary wild rose bushes were like trees, with stems as thick as a mans forearm, and so dense that it was impossible to force a way through them, while the will lows grew to tree size and it was possible to walk along the branches. Some of the trunks of the latter were fully one foot and half through; vines grew to a length of about 60 feet and nettles and ferns were both of unusual height.

Upon nearing the wonderful stories of the rand of gold across the ocean, little William declared that he was going to California just as soon as he was old enough.
