guests wandered out to the Summer
porch to escape the punishment they
anticipated. The song was begun
and finished. Courteous. but weak
handclapping did not assure the singer
or hostess that the tenor's efforts had
made a decided hit. Mr.. Smith, Of
course, had done the best he could
but the poor boy was only a parlor
singer after all.
We happened to be present. Two
years later we were passing a famous
theater in Haymarket, London. In
front of the ancient edifice were the
name and picture of young Mr.. Smith
(of course that isn't his name). He
was starring in popular musical pro-
duction.
We dropped in to see Mr.. Smith in
his dressing room and mentioned the
incident recorded The modest young
fellow smiled, and, before he could re-
ply. was summoned by his cue to go
on.
Later he returned to the States,
where he starred in another musical
show. The truth is he had been sing
ing leads long before the house party
where his work had been received with
yawns. Those who merely tolerated his
entertainment, a gratis performance,
have probably since paid legal simoleons
to hear and see him on the stage.
What we get for nothing we SO seldom
appreciate.

truth. One whose veracity is beyond
question says that a Washington girl
who had been employed in a business
Office met a young fellow at a small
social function. There was a mutual
attraction and each time the man came
to the city on visit he called on the
girl friend. Apparently he didn't have
an abundance of funds, for he used
the street cars when he took her to
the theater, and the seats he purchased
were not the most expensive. Instead
of dining at the best restaurants he
sought the less imposing ones.
In due time he proposed and was
accepted. Occasionally he sent her
box of flowers or a pound of candy.
When they were married, she would
save his money and perhaps some day
they might be able to buy small
house in the country. She considered
retaining her position in order that
she might help with the family f.

Comparative Rewards.
One Mother Says :

One Mother Says:
When offer rewards for special
favors or excellence in manners or
behavior occasionally, I see that each
one of the three children gets some
thing. Instead of giving one an apple
or nickel for remembering to put all
his toys away or to be prompt atedin-
ner, do this: I give the best a big
apple, the second half an apple, or a
medium-sized one, and the one who
failed to score high a quarter apple.
This avoids any bitterness or unfair
feeling, and yet points the lesson Of
distinction which proves effective.

Home in Good Taste

To achieve a truly successful room

be avoided.
Take the illustration, for example:
In the same space some furniSher
might feel that the table could be
placed nearer the window to allow
for another chair in the same space.
It does not take much imagination to
make one realize that this effect would
be very awkward.
The background of this room is very

1t seems that the man had met
hosts of "gold-diggers' and sought a
companion who would care for what
he was rather than for what he pos
sessed. The jibes of some of her girl

to envy. Wiser folks declared that

APRIL EXPORTS WORTH
 $1,635,O51; COPPER ORE
 MAKES PRINCIPAL GAIN

Alaska commodities shipped to the states in April had an aggre- gate value of $1,552,425, as com pared to $90O,935 for the same period in 1928, showing a gain d $651, 1,502, according to the month ly statement of commerce issued by J. c. Mcbride, collector of customs. The total commerce for the month was valued at $1.635,051.
 The principal gain was made in copper ore shipments last month being worth $975,S31 an increase of S39O,27S over April 1928. Can ned salmon also gained, climbing from s4,460 for a year ago to $176,935 last month. Fur ship ments likewise increased about s65,O00.

SEATTLE TO CHICAGO
 IN SIXTY-ONE HOURS

Karl K Katz, Alaska representa- tive of the Northern Pacific Rail- way enroute southbound on the S. S. Yukon last week advised that he had received word from his Se- attle office while in Alaska, to the effect that beginning June 9th, the Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited will operate between Seat tie and Chicago on a schedule of sixty-one hours, fifteen minutes, departing from Seattle daily at 6:15 P. NJ and arriving Chicago at 9:30 A. NJ.
 The westbound schedule will be sixty-three hours Chicago to Seat tie, leaving Chicago 9:00 A. M. and due Seattle 10:O0 A. M The train will be exclusively highest possible class with all Pullman sleepers, diner and observation lounge car of most modern type with valet and

 This improved service, MT. Katz said. will be of great benefit to travellers from Alaska, as most of the ships from Alaska reach Seattle in the morning and this 6:15 P. M. departure makes it possible for the Alaskan to have a whole day in Se- attle and still reach Chicago at 9:30 A. M, as at present.

PREDATORY ANIMALS COST ALASKA ALMOST MILLION
 DOLLAR LOSS ANNUALLY
(continued from Page one)

In the migratory waterfowl nest ing areas of the eastern portion of interior Alaska. great damage is
 being done by coyotes to the young birds and the nests. Few geese nestled any place in the section dur | ing the past two or three years, since coyotes have increased to a
 noticeable extent. Many thousands of them were formerly reared there.
 Ducks in this area suffer serious
 damage from coyotes and both duck
 and geese eggs are destroyed by the thousands.
 The area of Alaska is nearly as great as the combined areas of
 California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Arizona When its great area is considered. the figures
 shown below do not appear propor-
 tionately large, in fact, it is thought
 that the actual damage done by
 predators in the Territory is more
 than $1,0O0.o00 per year at the
 valuations of the various species
 given in the following table Coyotes and wolves have only re- gently entered the reindeer areas.
 The annual loss of this stock will certainly mount rapidly. for there is a heavy drift of coyotes especial ly. and of wolves toward the sec ton.
 Serious scattering of the herds and killing of even adult reindeer Dy few coyotes that have recent ly entered the ranges near Kokrines is reported by the proprietors of the deer. Wolves commit the dep relations reported in the follow ing table.
 Coyotes have drifted from the Stikine River, British Columbia in 1899 to Kokrines on the Yukon
 River in 1929-approximatel 35
 miles across country per year. Agriculture in Alaska is at pres ent so limited that rodent control
 does not present a serious problem. Any rodent control that may be
 needed will be entirely local in character and simple of administra-
 tion.
 Rodents do not occur in sufficient numbers to complete the range feeds needed by game animals.
 Throughout nearly all of Alaska an
 abundance of rodents are highly
 desirable by reason of the food thus
 provided by fur-bearers.
