KINDNESS
DE KIND. kindness is the nOblest
- y,-o.Yny, =, 10000,

RE KIND. kindness is the noblest
- weapon to conquer with"
If one does kind acts, thinks kind
thoughts and brightens the pathways
OF his fellows with kindly smiles, he
is almost certain to find his kindness
reflected into his own life. On the
other hand, if one is gruff and un-
thinking of the happiness of others, his
face usually is hard, his thoughts sell
fish and his own pathway bare of the
flowers of beauty which are naces-
sary if it is to be a pleasant pu.n to
tread
The person who is unkind is not
likely to find a welcome anywhere.
Even ones own baby quickly recOg-
nizeS whether he is kind or unkind.
Gruff words never bring smiles from
babys lips and the happiness of rosy.
outstretched arms Of children never
is experienced by those who treat
their little ones harshly.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
used to be the prOverb quoted most
frequently by parents who gave
advice on bringing up the young.
But, fortunately, the day when that
prOverb flOurished is past. There are
some, however, who imagine that the
only way to rear children properly is
by beating the bad out of them. And
in consequence one finds little cheer
fulneSS in certain homes. And we do
not think it would be wide of the
mark to charge much of the law
lessness of the present to the harsh
methods used by parents in rearing
their little ones.
Respect for parents, and respect for
the right are the two things essential
to make a good man and woman out
of boy and girl. But the proper kind
of respect for neither can be acquired
by frequent applications of the rod.
The same rule applies in every path
way through life. Business men who
rule with the iron hand, who try to
keep their employees efficient by ill
treatment and "mule-driving" get
nowhere in the long run. Certain it
is that they do bring down upon
themselves the hatred of scores of
good employees and in the days when
cooperation is essential to the sue
cessful progress of business, there is
likely to be very big mOnkey-wrench
in the wheels of machines.
Life is too short and the biggest
worldly accomplishments are entirely
too small to make it worth while for
one to spoil others pleasure by his
own selfishness.
Kindness is the one sure producer
Of success and smiles.

THE RIGHT THING
/ at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
MOVIE" MANNERS

IT ISN'T always a good plan to look
to your favOrite film star for an ex-
ample of good manners, for it may be
that the fact that she is acting for
motion pictures has had something to
do in determining her manners.
Did you ever notice that even re-
tiring young girls in the moving pic
lures have a way of laying their hands
upon the arms of the men with whom
they are cOnversing, sometimes Strok-
ing the lapels of their coats and other
wise handling them as they surely
would not do in real life? Because
this sort of thing is not regarded as
good form, men very much dislike to
have the girls they know affect this
familiar manner. But remember that
in the motion pictures, when we must
depend on gesture for what We cannot
indicate by spoken word, such show Of
feeling is often necessary.
So the young girl in the motion pic
lures meets a man at a tea and lays
two hands familiarly on his arms and
stands close to him, talking up into his
face. In real life she would doubtless
stand talking three or four feet away
with hands hanging lifelessly at her
side. Now, this would indicate moth
ing in the picture. The actress must
show what is really being achieved
by spoken word.
And this very thing accounts for
much Of the rushing around and close
grouping and waving of arms that you
see in the pictures, but which certainly
is not characteristic of well-bred So
ciety. Polite Americans, like the Eng
lish, avoid gesture to a surprising ex-
tent.

FIRST GOLD MINTED
Coins of the Time of Croesus Dis
covered by Americans.
Thirty Gold Pieces Unearthed by
Archeologists in Buried Ruins of
Sards, Ancient Lydian Capt.
tai in Asia Minor.

New Yorll.-Thirty gold coins be-
Enging to the first series ever minted
have been unearthed by American
archeologists who are working on the
buried ruins of Sardis; the ancient
Lydian capital in Asia Minor. Fifteen
of them may come to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art.
They are the coinage of CrOesuS, the
last king Of Lydia, and the first great
international banker, whose name has
been a symbol of wealth for nearly
$500 years.
The coins were minted some time
between 5G1 b. c., when Croesus as
cenGed the throne of lydia, and 54G,
when he was captured by Cyrus, the
Persian king, in the battle before Sar-
dis. Some of the 30 "staters." rs they
are called, are as bright as new mint
ed pieces of United States gold money.
They are lighter in hue. as they are Of
pure gold.
Before this ind, which is considered
one Of the great archaeological discOy-
cries in years, there were only five
"staters" known TO be in existence.
-Four of these were so rubbed and
worn that the lions head and bulls
head were nearly eGraced. One was in
good condition. These five are in the
British museum.
News of tbis discovery was brought
to the United States by DR.. T. Leslie
Shear, an archeologist of Columbia
university. one Of the members of the
expedition who were present when the
discovery was made Other members
OF the party were Mrs T. Leslie
Shear, an authority on ancient paint
ing and decorative work; W. r. Berry
r. R. Holden, an architect; Edward
Stoever, engineer Of the party; Cyrus
Mccormick Of Chicago, and his son,
Gordon
The so pieces Of gold, which was
probably an enormous fortune in the
days of the first gold currency, are
thought to have been hidden by some
wealthy Lydian in 54G, while Sardis
was besieged by Cyrus. They were
found in a tomb.
Some of the coins were a little
rubbed, indicating that they had been
in circulation a few years. The fresh
minted condition. of some of them
makes it almost a certainty that they
were fashioned during or Immediately
after the reign of CrOesus.

ISABEL

ETYMOLOGISTS claim that Isabel
IL is only another form of Elizabeth,
whose intricate, but interesting history
will be discussed later Accepting the
theory OF the experts, Isabel would
seem to be derived then, through the
Hebrew Elischeba, much used in the
time of Charlemagne. 1t soon became
Elisaba and was shortly abbreviated
to Isabeau through the wife of Charles
VI of France.
Another more romantic version
claims that Isabel, which is translated
to mean "oath of Baal," originated
with the daughter of the ZidOnian
king whom we call Jezabel. She is
also thought to be equivalent to
Elizabeth, though she appeals to the
oath of the heather Baal whose
votareSS she is. Her name was given,
with expressions of hatred, by the
Spanish Jews to Isabel the Catholic
when she permitted them to be perse-
cuted, and both Spain and Italy ap-
piled the epithet to Queen Elizabeth.
The wife of Philippe Auguste of
France was called Isabelle by the
French when she was brought from
Hungary a bride, and the name thus
became popular in the French court
Isabelle of Angouleuse, the betrOthed
of Hughes de Lusignan, who after
ward married King John, brought Isa-
belle to England. Her namesake
daughter became the wife of Fried
rich II and carried Isabelle to Ger
many and Sicily. Spain adopted it as
Isabel or Ysabel and it was given
vogue there through the marriage into
Portugal of Isabel de la Pays, great
niece of Elizabeth Of Hungary. But,
curiously enough, Isabel was never
greatly liked or used in England
though the child-queen of Richard ii
was so called, and many daughters of
the Plantagenets received it in bap-
tism. Scotland, on the other hand
favored it, calling it Isobel and Isbel
Isabella is a form used in England
and America to some extent.
IsabeFs gem is the diamond. For
her, the diamond is talisman against
all harm, disease, and sorrow. If worn
upon her left arm, which is nearest
the heart, it will bring her the de-
votion of Sthers. Saturday is her
lucky day and her lucky number
The daisy, signifying innocence, is
her flower.

STEESE GOES TO, CAPITAL
 TO GET MONEY FOR ROADS

Called away by official business, Col. James c. Steese, president, and Col. J. c. Gotwals, Engineer Officer, both of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, left Junea recently for Seattle. Colonel Steese is en route to Wash ington on his annual trip in connec- ton with the Commission estimates for road funds while Colonel Got walls will remain in Seattle for sev- eral days, later possibly going to Portland.
 The Commissions estimates for next seasons road funds called for a total of S1,500,00O says the Jun eau Empire, and were presented to the Bureau of Budget by the War Department several weeks ago. The Budget officials slashed these es- climates and has recommended an appreciation of s460,0O0 of the same amount that was provided last year by Congress. Supplementary esti- mates were made by the Commission for approximately s9S0,OOO and sub mitted to the War Department for transmission to the Budget. No word has been received as to the lat ter's action on these additional es- inmates.
 Colonel Steese expects to remain in the East until about February l5, appearing before both House and Senate committees to explain his es- inmates and the importance of in creased expectations for road work in the Territory. He also hopes to be present at the Good Roads Con- gress and Exposition of the Ameri- can Road Builders Association, that is scheduled to be held in Chicago January 15 to 19. The association, it was stated, has made arrangements to develop the greatest good roads meeting ever held. The program, more extensive and complete than ever, will consist of controversial subjects of vital concern to everyone interested in highway finance, con- struction, maintenance and traffic Colonel Steese attended last years Congress as Alaska's representative by appointment from Governor Bone and secured a resolution from the association endorsing increased Fed eral aid to Alaska. He expects to return to his headquarters here a. hout March 1.
 Colonel Gotwals will look after the purchase of some materials for the Nizina River bridge for shipment this winter. He will also take care of other Commission business pend ing in the Northwest. He will pro- bably return in about three weeks.

Ferry at Haines on November fl, Ernie Bryson, pio- neer, was brought to Juneau recent ly for confinement in the Federal jail 10 await further action by the next Federal grand jury. The shoot ing reports the Empire Is said to have resulted from efforts made by Ferry to persuade Bryson's wife to leave her husband and marry himself.

Three shots are said to have been fired by Bryson, one striking Ferry in the left breast and lodging under the right shoulder a second bullet hit Ferry in the back and as he was apparently walking into the kitchen, and the third shot went astray, lodging in a timber be meath the kitchen floor.
 Bryson gave himself up to Federal officials immediately after the shoot ing. He was given a preliminary hearing before U. s. Commissioner Ripinsky at Haines which resulted in him being bound over to the grand jury.

MUST HAVE HELP

Farmers in the flood districts must have help
to get more planting seeds the Dallas News observes
in the following editorial
From the staff dispatch to The News it seems
that there will be no free seed from Washington
for the flooded Districts of Texas. The committee
men in charge Of the matter felt that it would not
be good policy to begin the governmental distri-
button of seed In that decision many will feel
bound to concur although they cannot escape senti-
nens of real sympathy for those who have lost their
crops in the overflows. The constant encroach-
ment upon the independence of the States through
the surrender by the States the paernalstic func
tionings of the National Government has harmed
many prominent men. But the place to wage the
war Of opposition against the encroachment is with
the sentiment within the several States and not at
Washington. States have come to run after Wash
ington in the effort to surrender duties. Yet there
can b no State rights without the full acknowledge
ment and the full performance OF State duties.
Now that the probability of assistance from
Wash ngton is made remote through the action OF
committeeman to whom the matter referred,
perhaps Texas will do what she should have done
the first place and take steps to relieve promptly
and generously the distress of farmers whose lands
have been invaded by flood waters Considerable
tine has already been lost-time which is precious
with the advance of the growing season. In another
such emergency, should it arise. it is to be hoped
that the first impulse will be selreliance and the
relief of people by their neghbors and fellow
Texans An appeal to that quarter has nevre been
turned down where it properly and seasonaby
