OUR FUCHS

A tribute to a boy, which in its way IS tribute to Boyhood at is best, is recent characteristic comment by the editor of the Fairbanks News Miner, in that umque and individual column under the caption, 'ln Our Town" Three young people of Fairbanks have recently gone outside to school. One of them was Hugh Smith, who has been connect ed with the News Miner for number of his boyhood years. In a parting appreciation o1 this boy, Editor Thompson writes:
 There's an awful sense of loss ln the
 News Miner office today, with Hugh gone.
 For he was the Sunshine part of the
 News Miner-always on the job, always
 smiling and always ready to do more than
 his share. He likes machinery and he isn't
 afraid to work, and while never missing
 at school and graduating from the High
 School at 16, in his hours out of school he
 learned this business nearly to the finish.
 He knows a lot about every part of it
 and had gotten to the point where he was
 worth $150 month in the shop. lie never missed any playspell that was sensible and
 healthful and enjoyable, and he never missed anything that was worth while, yet during his idle hours he accumulated
 nearly twelfth interest in this Corpora
 ton, while hlS SchOOlnateS were playlng.
 He will finance himself through College, not because he has to but because he is
 built that way, and then he will come
 back competent to take his place with any
 of us and carry on. It is for his own good
 that he goes now, but the News-Miner, selfishly, would sooner he had stayed. But
 hel be back.
 There is a good deal to be said for this boy, of whom Editor Thompson writes He is boy to be proud of. He is the sort that the town and the Territory and the nation look to to "carry on." Yet there is nothing extraordin- ary about this particular boy There are thou ands like him to be found everywhere. That is the heartening thing about it all. But it is decidedly worth while, now and then, in the course of our modern existence, to have that fact recalled-to be reminded that under all the hectic anxieties of life, we still have our Hughs, and that having gone forth into the sweep and swing of things for their own good ultimately they will ''come back" and we'll all be the better for their coming.

IN OUR TOWN

Near greatness IS arrogant and assertive Greatness is always modest. By mail we heard from the great St. Lawrence County, New York, novelist, Irving Bacheller, author of "Eben Hoden," "Dri and I,' ''The Blessed Isles," "The Light in the Clearing" and many other novels of pioneer life, including up-to date stories such as ''Keeping Up With Lizzie' His birthplace and ours are about seven miles apart, but at that we have never met him. We never received but one letter from him until this second one came, and that was eight or ten years ago from Arkansaw, when he was on a lecture tour, and in reply to request that he furnish us with a com plete list of his books, for fear we had missed one of them He answers all his letters person ally, in "longhand," having no stenograph- CT and using no typewriter in his correspond ence. His writing IS as clear as artistic print ing. We never saw ''handwrite" like his. So seeing his letter in our mail we called the City Editors attention to it. It was the second envelope we had received addressed by Irv- ing Bacheler, but we told the City Man before we opened 1t that 1t was from him, and this is what he wrote:
 Lake Placid Club, Essex Co.,, N. Y.
 July 21, 1922 Dear MT. Thompson: Thanks for your good letter and its enclosure, and for every kind word you have found in your heart to say to me- The two books you mention are long since out of print:
 ''Master of Silence''
 ''Still House of O'Darrow." /"
 They are hard to get. Anyhow I warn you against them. I wrote them before I had found mly way. They are crude l try to keep them away from my friends.
 Sincerely
 IRVING BACHELER We don't know whether the College on the Hill intends to carry ''novels' in its library, but if it does, having two copies of ''Elben Holden' we will try to give the college one of them, with this letter from Irving Bacheller pasted securely on the inside cover page. In the course of the ver-ceasing passing years, that letter will point moral to the Youth of the college.--Fairbanks News Miner.

LIKE AN ELEPHANT

While in the country last summer a little city boy saw his first baby pig, and it made a great impression on him. So great was the impression, in fact, that the youngster made the pig the first object of his concern when the family again visited the country place this spring.
 "Where is my little piggie?" he i'm. mediately inquired
 Come with me and I'll show you, ' his country cousin replied.
 When the city boy reached the pen with his companion and saw what looked to be about eight hundred pounds of pork Ion the hoof" he was dumbfounded.
 And did that little piggie grow as much as that in one year,"
 "Yes."
 In open-eyed wonder the boy ex, claimed. Gee! I betcha when come back next summer he'll have trunk

 Indeed do, sir," was the smil- ing answer. You gave me fifty cents, sir"
