withal to live and the money for trips into the game country, there are plen- ty of ideal places within a days jour ney from Seward. In fact, Kenai is an ideal section for such an under taking. There are on it today quite a number of these fur-raising estab- 1ishments, and they are all apparent ly quite successful
 The Kenai district is also a good trapping ground.
 If one chose, and is able, he can have a small boat and go exploring along the picturesque coast in sum mer; and in winter dog team will take him to fascinating adventures in the interior.
 So there you have romantic adven- ture, nearly all varieties of big-game hunting in abundance, and wonderful fishing, all within easy access and at a cost which is within the reach of any one; and there is the opportunity of making a comfortable living at the same time. What more could any one want?

THE OTHER EXTREME

Thinking over the various other sections where I have enjoyed the things that make Gods Country, am quite sure that my second choice goes to Venice, Florida, down on the Gulf of Mexico.
 This may seem rather extreme jump from the blizzardy mountains of Alaska to the sun-kissed palms and palmettos of the tropical South. But these are my two favorites and I'll stick to them.
 If I were to have the privilege of living second life on this earth, and could prescribe the route in advance I would request that the years one to fourteen be spent in New York's low CT East Side, so that I might the more fully appreciate what was to come later; and the years fourteen to for. ty in Alaska, with Seward as home and headquarters; and the years for ty to the end in Florida.

GETTING UNDER WAY

Mining development is growing extensive in the West Metal prices seem destined to immediately attain higher levels The result will be that old and new pro- pertes will be brought into production The population of the world is growing and living conditions are mprov- ing This all means greater consumption ot metals More gold and silver to finance business expansion and greater amounts of copper lead zinc and other metals mean greater and more prosperous mining industry. The present year should prove exceedingly profitable for investors in metal shares Gold stocks always popu lar because the price of gold varies and the demand for the yellow metal grows constantly.

There is much to be found in Flo rida that takes real guts and stamina. It is romantic and fascinating in the extreme But as compared to the life that an adventure-loving person spends in Alaska, it is an old mans country.
 Life is a funny thing at best, you know. Some people make a lot of money; others get to be famous; still others just are here for their time and don't seem to get more than the privilege of being here; and still oth- CTS, while they do not become wealthy or famous, roam through a regular Arabian Nights storybook career of untold fascinating experi- ences in the far corners of the earth.

soJourned 1n most all of them-the section which comes nearest to my ideal is the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. can imagine no more perfect way \ of living than to have a satisfactory job in the town of Seward. Alaska, that would permit fellow to spend about three months of every year on the game trails that are accessible from that town.
 l once had the idea that to be per fectly happy I would have to live al- together out far beyond the frontier of civilization. I tried this; and while it is marvellous for few months, it becomes monotonous even tually. I think the ideal arrangement for the average man, and the most practical, is to have job in town or village within easy access of the land of his dreams, and be able to spend self-satisfying length of time out in the country.
 Seward offers very good oppor- tunity in this respect. It is the ter minus of the United States Govern men Railway in Alaska, and some thing of an outfitting place for the more remote sections of the interior It has one of the most promising fu- lures of all the towns in Alaska, and it worth growing up" in. There are large machine shops, some fishing &C., tivities, and opportunities for good men in most all the trades as we'll as the professions.
 Two easy days travel from Seward, by railway, small boat and afoot, takes you into what is considered about the finest moose country in the world The same length of time will take you into a very fine mountain sheep country. Bear are frequently seen on the mountains within sight of the main street, and salmon are to be caught in season by trolling right in front of the town. Trout may be found within couple of hours walk from town and unexcelled rainbow fishing at an easy days walk.
 Two days on the train also takes you to where caribou can be seen by the thousands every fall; and few days travel to the westward on a mail boat will put you in the greatest grizzly bear country on this continent where they get those famous Largest of all bears'' on the Alaska Peninsula.
 If you like duck or goose shooting, a days travel from Seward will land you where you can get "the limit nearly any time during the open sea- son.
 The town itself is one of the beauty spots of all the Western coast. Built as it is on an alluvial fan at the head of a perfect bay, it is surrounded on all sides by towering mountain peaks, many of which have never been climb ed by human being. There are gla- | ciers: deep woods where in a few minutes one can virtually leave the world of civilization far behind; and most everything that appeals to lov. CT of the great outdoors.
 The big passenger boats from Seat tie run to Seward throughout the win fer. It is the most northern port su the Pacific coast that has year-rouno steamboat service.

"A few years ago the Sc. Louis
Americans had a rookie southpaw
pitcher at their southern training
camp BY the name Of Herb Pruett.
He also travelled under the cognomen
Of "Shucks."
Though Herb showed nothing 10
his new employers in the way or
speed, he owned one OF the menncst
curves brought into the American
league In many a day.
The regular season had not been
long under way before Pruett had
earned a place among the regular
slab artists Of the team. His tanta-
ling fadeaway was fooling the crack
batsmen of the loop, including the
mighty Mr. Ruth, who seemed TO be
especially easy for "Shucks." Babe

"A great future was predicted for
this southraw youngster who could
