Boy scouts were on duty as ushers and messengers, and came at once to the rescue, finding doctors, rendering first aid. getting stretchers from the first aid booth. answering questions of terrified persons who feared their friends might be among the victims, keeping away the crowd from the in- jured. serving In every way possible as their training fits them to do.

Aklavick is soon to be a new point on the world map and distinguished as the most northarly point in the postoffice service of the Dominion of Canada. That is almost tanta- mount to saying that Aklavick will be the Northern-most postofftce on this continent, for, although Greenland runs northward more than a dczen degrees from the 65th degree oI north latitude near which Ak avirk is situated, it is most doubtful if the Danish Government has ever eatah- lished regular postal service with any point in Greenland north of there.
 As to regular service. that which Aklayick will get is likely to be reg ular but of such infrequency that the metropolitans in outlying resi- dential sections of cities. who of'eU protest against the isolation of only one mail delivery day, should think on Aklavick, while waiting for tomorrow. Two mails will leave Aklavick by steamer during the sea son of open water, and one by dog team during the long winter. Ii dogs could go routes, as the crow flies. a 300-mile run southwestward to Dawson would put the Aklayick mail on a faster footing to the out
 side world. But there are natural obstacles intervening, and the an- nouncement that the sledge run will be "the longest and most lonely postal route on the continent" probably means that a more open put much longer route will be taken down to the northern terminus of
 the railroad which the Canadians have built north as a branch of the Canadian Pacific. This is all in a
 part of a new and wonderful world which works while the old world talks of reversions, repudiations, and cataclysms.
 EstablishingAa postoffice at Aka wick will not bring a boom. There has for some years beer a trading post at the delta where the Macken- zie River falls into Mackenzie Bay and Beaufort Sea, an arm of the Arc
 tic Ocean. The trade of the post has been flourishing enough, and it's correspondence increasing at a rate .o justify the naming of the post "Aklavick" and the sending of the

 no matter what is said or done will make no objection, but l do hope that on that occasion no self appointed saint, who claims to know all about that other world and knows so little about this world that he wearies part of its inhabit ants almost to death when he speaks, will make an ass of himself by full minating over me and airing my many failings-a thing he did not have the nerve to do publicly while I was in the land of the living. Nei- ther do l want any 'sugar-mouthed individual who never had any kind words for me while l twas toiling along the best I could, to come and say pretty nothings over my rotting remains. And you folks who have taken; delight in throwing rocks at me when I was not looking, for Gods sake keep your flowers off of my graye-I do not need them.
 T would like to leave a message to my business associates-the boys in the shop-but I cannot write about that for there comes lump in my throat and, doggone it, my eyes fill with tears when 1 try to tell of the loyalty, the fidelity, the patience of these who have labored with me year after year and some of whom have grown up in the shop. I love them with love unutterable, and if the blessing of dying man is worth a whoop. they will be endowed with richest blessing if old reason shall sit enthroned when I pass out. Boys, We have fought the battles to- gether.
 "You have not failed me. God bless you. If have failed to act the man before you. forgive me as I hope God has forgiven me, for if I have played the towards part, if I have been untrue, dishonest and unclean in my dealing with you or in my life before you, I have not been aware of it. I have tried, God knows I have tried, to play the man in my work. You can tell the man who says that knowingly wrote falsely of any person. institution or thing. that withheld my pen from writing the plain truth when I deemed it best to write for fear of any man or for fa- yor from anyone on the face of the earth, that he is liar.
 Perhaps some one will want to know what are my views concerning death and the future state. My ans wer is. I know nothing about death. that all men since the race had it's origin have faced, I know no more about the future than the cave men knew. And you who read this know no more. But although I do not know, and cannot know, I can trust no man can do more.
 q came across this bit of verse some time ago. I do not know who wrote it. but it so we'll expresses my thought that I pass it on as the adopted child of my brain as I face death, the grave. and the great un- known:
 "I cannot feel oIl ic ,sy1r
 clouds conceal
 The shining sun;
 But then, I know God lives and loves; and say, since
 it is so,
 Thy will be done.
 "I do not see Why God should cen permit some
 things to be,
 When he is love.
 But I can see Tho often imlythrough the mystery
 His hand above!
 T do not know Where falls the seed. that I have tried
 to sow
 With greatest care,
 But shall know The meaning of each waiting hour
 below,
 Sometime, somewhere.

ICE CREAM is AMERICAN.

The history of ice cream is Ameri-
en- through and through. There is
no getting away from that fact. The
experts at the Worlds Dairy con-
gress in Syracuse imagine Il vain
thing when they say that ice cream
was invented i'll Italy in the 18th
century. Spumoni, the rich, nut
filled dessert, 10 which they refer,
cannot be compared with the ice
cream that Americans know.
The strange and peculiar ices that
first attained prominence in France
and England between 1850 and 1856
have little true relation to the pro-
duct that came from the freezers of
Jacob Russell in Baltimore Just be-
fore the Civil War. That was real
ice cream.
The advent of the cone gave the
children healthy substitute for
candy. There is no end to the ways
in which ice cream may be presented.
And always it is OF good favor. Ice
cream has become 50 great factor
in the life of the nation that it now
is a subject for college study. The
energy and the intelligence OF Amer
lea are concentrated in the perfection
of this marvellous confection, which
serves us in health and in sickness,
from the cradle to the grave.-Buf.
