Where Jimmy's Education
Really Was Shy

After a twenty years absence a
gentleman returned to the little New
England town where he had been
born and where he spent his boy
hood. In the neighborhood in which
he had been reared he found but
one of the original residents remain
ing, an elderly Irish lady. He made
himself known to her, and she well
coined him back home again, and
promptly they fell to talking Of the
boys and girls with whom he had
grown up. This one, she told him,
had turned out badly. That one had
turned out well. Some were dead.
Some had moved away. Finally he
asked:
Tell me. Mrs. DAILY, whatever be-
came of poor little Jimmy McKenna
who used to live in the shanty right
down the street here?"

Practically Destitute in Fact
Some of my dearest boyhood men,
cries cluster about a gravel-covered
wharf where the Tennessee like an
amorous lady, kisses the Ohio not
once but twice and then in the en-
brace of the wider, stronger stream
goes romancing away to receive the
parental blessing of that father of
all the rivers, the Old Mississip.
There on the porch of an ancient
boatstore overlooking the mating
place of the waters l heard tales Of
the older days when the gamblers
rode the packets and the mate knew
no closed season on black roustabouts
and the b'ilers busted from time to
time and scattered proud steamboats,
In splintery smithereens. There too,
l one day heard what l still, after all
these years, regard as a magnificent
example of spontaneous American
humor.
Tilted back In his chair on the
boatstore porch sat Cap'n Joe Fowler,

packet bound from Cincinnati to New
Orleans. landed. Up the steep slope
of the wharf came a tourist lady
from up North somewhere-anywher
across the Ohio was "up North" to US
in that town. In the crook of her
arm this lady bore the first Mexican
hairless dog Cap'n Joe had ever seen.
The animal was no larger than full
grown rat; in fact it rather resembled
rat. 1t seemed a miserable. naked,
sickly little thing which shivered even
though the air was balmy and
fiinched with vague uneasiness at

stood up and made low bow TO her.

Pioneer Canneryman
 Longs for Days of Old

Alaska is growing civilized, in the opinion of Captain c. E. Ahues, super intendent of the Libby cannery at Taku har bor, whose knowledge of the Terri tory and it's people dates back some % years. And he cited a case coming under his own observation to prove his observation that the higher forms of civilization are reaching 4the North land.
 Recently while hanging some web bing on trap in Icy Straits Captain Ahues was forced to take the living scow into shelter wheaa 9udden blow struck his floating camp. He left the big supply soow tied up at. the trap. Two hours later, the blow snbsiding. Ahues returned to the trap ands found someone had footed the supply -soow, cleaning it as bare as the famous cup board of Mother Hubbard. Everything was gone, stove and stoRepipe, several coils of new rope, camp equipment, grub and other material. Even the trap chains were carried away.
 This, the pioneer canneryman told the Juneau Empire, is prima facie evi- denee of the coming of civilized forces to Alaska. He recalled instances of where entire camps with their equip ment had been left for days on end in bygone years without tnolestation. Doors had no locks generally, and if they did happen to have locks the keys were lost through nonuse. "I guess that time is now passed, and what we can't.anchor solidly we'll have to lock up, he commented mournfully.

Importance of Newspapers.

 As matter of fact, the success or failure Of paper is matter Of grave concern to an entire town.
 Newspapers are tEe best advertise ment city has in the entire world. Other cities judge town by the kind of newspaper it has. If t does not thrive, outsiders are inclined to look on the town as undesirable to live in, end so move on to other townsk
