It is easy to get into rut.

keep the beaten path and consequently do not improve
But occasionally you decide you will make Improvement,
and then fall back again because it hard to change
your thought and your ways.
Every time you slide back it makes it easier to backslde

Sweet mercy is nobility's true

Diligence is the mother of good

One must be poor to know the

Nothing which reason condemns

THE P.ARIAH OF THE FUR
 NDUSTRY-THE POISONER

The poisoner of fur bearing ani. tie. He is one of the curses of the Northland fur country. He enters section-a section rich in its pro. l duction of furs and in season or two he has reduced that section u state of barrenness. And all this | with little profit to himself for 9OI of the life he destroys is never found Like thief at night the prisoner works silently. He scatters his | deadly baits over the hillsides and there they lay deadly menace not only for the fox for which they were intended but also for every ether bird or animal that touches them.
 In day or twO-it is week or two if a storm arises. the poisoner returns to his grim harvest. and pitifully small is this harvest in comparison to the death it has caused. Animal after animal has struggled far from the scene of poi soning before stiffening in the last mad paroxysm of a frightful death If a big storm ensues not an animal is found We have heard of 300 poisoned baits put out by one cer- tain alien and not one fox did he bring in to the trader.
 A section of the country that would have supported ten trappers indefinitely has been laid waste by one poisoner in one year.
 Happily instances of poisoning are becoming rarer and rarer all the time and now it's use is confined most to some remotely situated rem egade--more than likely already q fugitive from justice. These fell lows are few and far between but not half so few and far between ad we would like to see them They rate a speedy extermination at out hands along with the timber wolf and the rattlesnake for they are every bit as deadly and infinitely more wasteful of natures riches.

DON'T USE BIG WORDS

In promulsating your escterlc organizations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and am acable philosophical observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
 Let your conversational communi- cation possess clarified concisness and perspicacity, a compact com prehensibleness coalescent consist ency and a concentrated cosency. Eschew all conglomerations of tatu- lent garrulity jejune vablement af- feotious. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremediated ex' patiations have intelligibility and yeracious vivacy, without shodo- montade or thrasonical bombast. Sedoulously avoid all polysyliaoic profundity, pompous prolixity' spit tacous casinity, ventriloquial verbo- sity, and vaniloquent rapidity. shuh double-entendersprurient and erotic iocosity. and pestiferous profanity obscurant or apparent.
 In other words, talk plainly or'et- ly and truthfully. and send in your subscription to the Nome Nugget and get all the-news.

"OUTCI.ASSED."

The Devil sat by the lake of fire
 On a pile of sulphur kegs; His head was bowed upon his breast,
 His tail between his legs; A look of shame was on his face,
 The sparks dripped from his eyes. He had sent his resignation to the
 Throne up in the skies. "I'm down and out" the Devil said,
 He said it with a sob; There are others that outciass me- And I want to quit my job Hell isn't in it with the lana
