 "Oh. well, put it that way. if you like" she said. after a glance of close scrutiny. I'm not libeling any body. if that's what you mean. But I propose to do the work that it seems to me the police have left undone. To make the investigation that they certainly have not made.

 Somewhat to her surprise. Riggs came immediately. and expressed himself as glad to be of service if possible.

Curiosity and fright had posses member that he was right in front of the cage of Simba the Lion when the latter opened his great mouth and roared. Peter just fell right over with fright. Yes, sir. he did so He couldn't have run then to save his life. But by the time he had begun to recover a little Simba was pur- ring. Don't let little noise scare you, Longears," said he. Noise never yet hurt any one.'
 At this Peter felt better He was etill greatly frightened. He was still shaking more or less. He knew that the sensible thing was 10 get out of that circus tent and straight back to the dear old Briar- patch. But curiosity tied him there. Yes, sir, curiosity tied him there just as surely as the chain on the leg of My Lord the Elephant tied him.
 Have you seen Spotcoat yet?" Inquired Simba. Peters long ears pricked up.
 Who is Spotcoat?" asked Peter.
 ''Oh. just another member of the family" replied Simba carelessly. ''He Is rather handsome fellow. He Is over in that cage wonder. What are you staring at me so hard for?''
 Y was wondering if you could climb a tree.' said Peter. All the cat people that I know can climb trees"
 Well, now you know one who can't climb a tree and has no de- sire to climb a tree" replied Simba. "And Striped Coat over there is another. The ground is good enough for us."
 What about Spotcoat 2" Peter Inquired.
 'Oh. Spotcoat climbs trees" re- piled Simba, "I guess Spotcoat feels more at home in trees than he does on the ground. Look at my claws and then go over and look at the claws of Spotcoat. Ton will see that his claws are made for climbing"

 B|C TIME TUESDAY

Thirty new members were ell rolled in the Seward Womans Athlet- ic club at last evenings meeting. Much business was discrssed but the most important were the plans for the rousing meeting next Tuesday night.
 For this special occasion invita- tions are being printed which will be mailed to all members and to friends.
 Tn connection with the next meet ing the members and invited guests will be asked to bring two small household impliments which will be used to good purpose th2t night. There is TO doubt but what everyone will have great time.
 Officials of the ". A. C., report there are a number of prospective members who are rather reluctant about signing up giving as their req son that other members are so far advanced in the art of playing base ball that they would stand little show against them. This thought is in CT ror,, it is pointed out, for the games are always so arranged taking into consideration the newcomers; and in addition to that many of the old mem bers of the club have played but few times themselves.

Trappers and hunters who take pre- datory animals are warned that they cannot receive Territorial bounties for wolves and coyotes unless the law is followed in exact detail. Many are losing considerable sums of money thru not realizing that simply present ing a pelt will not entitle them to bounty. The session laws of Alaska provide that the "lna and Radius" of the left forearm of the animal must be attached to the pelt. The pelt and forearm are then presented to any United States commissioner for boun- ty payment, which is made in the suum of $15 when the hunter or trap per makes affidavit as to the time when the animal was taken.

WHAT RYDER CAN BE.

Nothing is in such bad taste as that form of community criticism that is pure and un- adulterated knocking" with out a semblance of construct i've review. It is especially un- becoming issuing from a busi- ness man.
 Constructive criticism may find fault with existing con- ditions but it always is said in a way that sounds like boost ing. Knocking" is talking too much about what the com munity isn't. Boosting" is talking about what the Hyder district is and can be.
 The man in business, whether or not he deserves it, gets most of the credit or blame for what his community is. If he criticizes adversely he is, in the public's eyes just belittling his own work. But it is never unbecoming for him to boast of the many good qualities possessed and acquired by his home town. That community which is without faith in it. self is without hope. And if it's business men lack faith in it how can the community ex- pect to enjoy the faith of the lay citizen? However, the faith Hyder demands of its citizens is not the blind faith required of citizens of less towns. f.
 The wise business man never knocks, regardless of how bad business may be. He knoVs the hammer" may rebourN and strike him. Knowing an optimistic public is buying public and that consumers tighten their purse strings with the first cry of hard times ,he exhales optimism with every breath.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

tisements in his newspaper re- marked that it is dangerous to the purse to read the adver tisements too carefully because you can not even scan them without finding something you want and at a price and of a quality you can't afford not to take advantage of.

GOOD OLD
 SUMMER TIME

The human race needs the summer time in which to cool off. The beasts hibernate; they have no strenuous intel lectual life. They don't worry about possible fights, short crops of berries, probable hard winters or opinions of their neighbors. They get fat in summer and sleep through the winter.
 But humans need to estivate to get the rest-up from their period of greatest activity. They have lived a thousand years in one during the long winter. They have had their own fears and fears of the world, in addition to the multi tudinous cares of their own business and other interests. They have crowded on all steam in meeting social en- agreements ;they have worked hard at their amusements; ; they have been over-vexed
