FORGET NOT THE LIVING.

Though our life here may be ,ended
The grave is but the earthly goal.
Though the body soon will crumble;
Remember there is yet the soul.
After we have passed over the river:
we may then rest in the shade of
the trees;
For then life's battles will all be
over:
Gained for us are life's troubled
seas.
But the soul will 20 on then forever:
To the place from where they never
return,
To the place called the ~Great
Beyond"
Whose secrets we here will never
discern.
Yes. when the soul passes from US;
When We at last find peace and
rest,
There still remains behind us here:
The forgotten ones that loved us
best.
Think of those for whom we are
waiting; r
Think of those who were left be-
hind,
They are the ones who are to be
pitied;
No more joy in life can they find.
Then after I have passed out of this
life; Z
Erect not then great cross over
my head. ~
Try to think then Of those who are
living; '''
For no more can you ever help the
dead. ..f'r go

SURVIVAL OF PARTY'S FITTEST

Proponents of the one-term plan OF
| Tightening the Presidents burdens may
gain gratuitous support from the rumor
that some changes are likely to be made
in the cabinet. Although it is fairly
widely known that, in addition to the
constitutional functions OF a cabinet
member, tacit requirement is that he
contribute something to the political
strength of the party that has rewarded
his worthiness, the country has devoted
little serious attention to this matter.
Perhaps the popular mind will dwell
upon it if the rumor alluded to should
be fulfilled.
If it is true that overseers of the Re-
publican party's fortunes are bent upon
supplarting Secretaries Hoover, Wallace
and Work because they are below par"
as political assets, then that party must
be bard put to find tenable reasons for
its return to power And, if such re-
movals should actually be effected for
political purposes, the national govern
ment might lose, and would deserve to
lose. some of the respect in which it is
held by the American people.
For some Americans are old-fasfioned
enough to believe that members of the
Presidents cabinet should be chosen for
their ability to administer the govern
mental affairs OF their respective depart
ments If this is not the paramount
cousideration-if man. to be eligible
for a cabinet position. must be a poll
tician first and possibly an efficient
executive afterwards-thc people would
have orly to realize the fact to lose
interest in governmental matters that
heretofore have been regarded as highly,
even vitality. important.
Such apparently frank statements as
some of the political overseers seem to
have made to newspaper correspondents
would indicate that such realization will
come to the public il the alleged plans
of these politicians are put into practice.
1t must require no little brazen self-as-
surance to make such statements. But
apparently the authors thereof are not
conscious OF committing even IN i'm
propriety; they seem to assume that the
public will accept cabinet shifts for
political purposes as a matter Of course.
That assumption is bad sign: it places
very low appraisal upon public opin-
ion to assume that the people expect
high governmental positions to be filled
with men who are primarily politicians
and secondarily. if at all, statesmen.
When an entire party champions such
philosophy of government. is it any
wonder that individual officials regard
their positions as an opportunity TO pro-
mote their personal interest?

ALL'S WELL

The day is ended. Ere / sink to sleep,
My weary spirit seeks repose in Thine.
Father! forgive my trespasses, and keep

So shall my sleep be sweet.
At peace with all the world, dear Lord, and

A Puzzle a Day

Start at one of the letters in the
maze; and follow along straight line
to another letter. Continue thus, pass
ing from letter to letter. The correct
route will uncover a maxim of four
words. No letter may be passed over
twice.
Yesterdays Answer.
To find a number that may be d.
vided into four equal parts; the first
part 800 times. the second 400 times,
the third 40 times as great as the
smallest number, is very easy, and a
multitude of answers. are possible. The
simplest is 941.
This number may he divided into
800. 400. 40 and 1, which fill the re-
quirements. In the. same way 1882
may be divided into 100, 500, so and
.. All this is necessary to solve the
puzzle is to take any number: multiply
it separately BY 40, 400 and 500: then
add the totals, and the grand total will
be a number that fills the required

Arnold attempted to take the gun away from the enraged man, and in the scuffle the gun was discharged and Sheldon was killed.
 Arnold proceeded to St. Michael, where he gave himself up and was lat CT taken to Nome by deputy marshal

, kokwim is one of the most wonderful rivers n the world. It stretches in- land 1000 miles without rapids or a rock to block navigation, dnd ocean- going steamers have penetrated as far in as McGrath with ease, small boat navigation extending several nun dred mics further. Its bars swarm with cranes, geese and ducks, the woods arc full of ptarnii?an, grouse and rabbits; the moose, caribou, bear sheep and goat are plentiful, while many an Indian squaw is bedcCked in furs princess might envy. The banks are high and covered with a thick growth of timber; wild flowers bloom in proIusion and the ar is scented with their odors.
 Curious Things Along River Speaking of the many curious things to be seen in this little-explored re- zion, Mir. Stubbs tells of one lake To- cated in mountain range that comes down between the Nushagak and Kus- kokwim rivers. of large size, in the pelluci1 waters of which are found large schools of goldfish, so numerous as to gi.e the waters a deep orange tint when they pass. Very few white men have ever cast their eyes on this unnamed, uncharted lake, but the few who have are lavish in praise of the beautiful scenery. The only route reas- ible is by way of the Tikchek river and down it's tributaries.
 Another curious anomaly of nature is a fish resembling the whitefish, which has a gizzard resembling that of chicken, its craw being filled with sand and pebbles. This gizzard is con- nected with the stomach of the fish by small intestine, the food passing from the gullet directly into the gig gard. The flesh of this fish is said to be white and most delicious, resemb- ling that Ot the Wh1tef1Sh m taste. It is caught in vast numbers by the few white trappers and traders, and the gizzards are a delicacy equal to that of the chicken.
 The climate ol this region is most invigorating. The summers are warm and delightful, and at this time the Eskimo5 gather on the shores of the lakes in the beautiiul groves of birch and prepare their fish and berries for the winter It is a season of plenty and they grow round and fat and have many men children. Furs of all kinds are numerous, the district being trap per's paradise.
