A nicely furnished home at a
very moderate rental is what
! found on my inspection tour
yesterday. This house consists
Of six rooms, three of which are
bedrooms; two porcheS, the up
stairs one could be used for ex-
ira sleeping quarters in good
weather. The kitchen was per-
fectly appointed having all nee
eSsary equipment to the art Of
preparing meals. There was
also a downstairs porch that
overlooked a very nice size yard.
I was told by the present occu-
pant that there was a lovely
garden that bloomed in the
early spring. Sanitary tubs are
to be found in the concrete Gel
lar, which was exceptionally
large. A limited number Of
dishes and linens will be left
and judging from the way the
house is furnished, I feel sure
it would make a very comforta-
BILE and cozy home. This house
can be rented Immediately.

HARVEST TIME IN THE YUKON.

Mining throughout the interior is showing greater returns and the result is reflected in the upturn of business generally in the Territory is the report brought back to Juneau by M. s. Whittier Assistant Collector of Customs who has just returned from an extended visit to various localities.
 It is mighty encouraging news to Alaskans and is especially indicative of the development that is taking place in of the Territorys major indus tries-mning. New dredges have been installed in several places and and old properties are yielding pay dirt The future is brighter than in several seasons but those who may be lured by the report might again be reminded there is ample supply of labor for all work in the Interior and only those equipped with some capital should ven- ture into the North. It's harvest time in the Yukon but there is surplus of jobs.

"The stars incline
 Horoscope
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY. AUGUST !. 1aas


 Friendly stars rule strongly to- day according to astrology. It is a time to push all important matters with consideration for future world conditions.
 Saturn is in place promising to the demands of workers who seek to share in profits due to their in- dustry. There is sign that seems to predict cooperation with employ CTS and arbitration of differences Those who read the stars foretell serious perils to business in the autumn and they warn that yio- lence must be avoided in every way possible.
 Bitter political and economic hos tilities are prognosticated and as- trologers who foresee events at a distance of years warn against hasty acts and selfish aims.
 This is fortunate day for sign ing contracts and leases. It en- courages improvements in build ings and expansion in certain in- dustries.
 Women under this rule of the stars will benefit through the sue cess of the men in their families. This is day favorable to what ever appeals to the self esteem of husbands and sons.
 The stars appear to presage con tinued domination of men in all the worlds work despite the am bitions of women and those of the gentler sex who are wise will fos- ter the success of their men folk.
 Interesting news regarding the Jews is forecast. Palestine will again contribute to world progress. Mos COW and Turkey will be much in the foreground during the autumn. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Money will come in and there will be aid from relatives for many who have been struggling.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of determined nature but able to succeed through diplom- acy Many subjects of this sign are artistic and endowed with creative talents.
 Joseph Rodman Drake, poet, was born on this day l795. Others who have celebrated 1t as a birthday include Billie Burke, actress, 1886; Powell Clayton, onetime ambassador to Mexico, 1883.

FOREIGN FANTASIES.

Seepage of foreign fantasies into our national life over a period of years, especially since the World War, has made available for the restless and dissatisfied any number of silly doctrines to which they can attached with little thinking and less energy The attracting the most atten- ton at the present time and probably one of the most vicious from point of seductive theories, is Communism. This dreg of ancient Europe thrives the misfortune of others and the unsettled con- dtons of the past few years has been fertile field in which to spread it's unsavory appeal.
 Fortunately. the bulk of the American people still grounded in the principle that to each will be given according to his merit. So long as imbue that simple but ancient fact into our children and rising generations stand a pretty good chance to survive the unhoy creed O. Communism any of the other impossible "isms "
 Mark Twain. that famous humorous and phil osopher, analyszed Communism in a new brief sen- tences way back in the 70s when he visited Europe He wrote:

 it requires brains to keep money well
 to make It. Tn precious little while the
 money would be back in the former owners
 hands and the Communist would be poor
 again. The division would have to be
 made every three years it would do the
 Communist no good.

World on Edge of an Abyss.
Magazine of Wall street.l

(Magazine of Wall Street)
 The great peril of times is not the threat Of Bolshevsm Naz-ism or, Fasicsm. It is the danger of another World War It is longer possible for two great nations to fight fenced-off war like that between Bolivia and Paraguay.
 Another general war of the proportions and duration of the struggle between the Allies and the Central European nations would undoubtedly inn pair the economy of the world, possibly, if not probably to such an extent that there would come a reverson to barbarism. Yet nothing fundamental is being done to remove the possibility of such a cataclysnl-and apparently nothing can be done.
 All the world can do is to skate fearfuly along on the thin ice of provisions and arrange to main tain peace for a few months or few years. The merest chance is all that stands between it and dissolution. Pacifism and militarism equally powerless in the face of potential annhiliation
 In the past great conqueror might march to peace through But today the conqueror can march through only to the ruin of all. The greatest task of all times awaits the greatest man of all times-the winning of perpetual peace.

Sentimentality.
Denver Rocky Mountain News.)

The maudn sort of sympathy that r1ady to produce copious tears whenever a hardened yegg snfles and says that he is sorry popped into public view in Detroit the other day.
 The local sheriff invited the mothers and chill dren of Detroit to come to the jail and listen to a sermon by one of his prisoners. This prisoner, he said, had seen the error of his ways and had re- pented, and reading the Bible daily; he could give very uplifting litle talk on the advsability of stunning the ways of crime
 All of this might have been all right, If it hadn't turned out that the repentant sinner was William Lee Ferris, confessed panderer and slay- CT, who is awaiting trial charges of having slain the nephew of Charles Evans Hughes
 Somehow the stunt didn't appeal to Detroit. Womens clubs and public officials rose in wrath, the sermon cancelled, and the sheriff left town. And the sheriffs idea remains a sample of brain less sentmentality at its worst.

porter put it and are New Yorks bartenders flat their backs with glassy stare!'
 Out of the tumut the reporter was able to glean the Kingfisf's recipe for gin fizz with vanilla follows:
 For a Ramos gin fizz-An ounce and half of Ramos gin; juice of half lemon; juice of half a lime tablespoon of powdered sugar. two dashes of orange flower water; the white of an egg; milk with spot of cream; dash of vanilla extract; ice and shake ten minutes.
 It later developed that only two bartenders in New York had heard of gin fizz with vanilla and one of them was Fred Wilson, who was in Alaska in the gold rush days Interviewed on the important matter the old stampeder had this to say
 Yes he said, T remember man asking for vanilla in gin fizz once. That was in Nome Must have been nearly forty years ago. Yep, that's right; it just forty years ago next August IT. I've seen lot of shootn and bloodshed in the gold rush bars of those days and the boys quick on the trigger But want to tell you that was the quickest and most sudden murder ever saw. Bullets from eighteen guns hit that feller-all at the same time"

Story With
Good Moral
Instructive
Narratives Helpful in
Reasoning With
Child.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

WE DO not use stories enough in
our teaching A good story
and by good I mean one that fits the
occasion and suits the AUDIENCES
one of the quickest, surest ways OF
impressing an idea upon a child's
mind. II we scolded less and used
stories more we would accomplish our
aims sooner.
When a child indicates that he is
wanting something or is longing to
do something that will do him no
good instead of a stern, mo-" backed
by wordy argument. it would be bet
ter to smile and say, That reminds
me Of the time your Uncle Peter
wanted his father, your grandfather,
to give him a rife" The child will
prick UP his ears and listen, instead
OF shutting his mind down hard and
resisting your sound reasoning.
The Scoutmaster, who wants to win
and hold his boys, must be good
story teller OF course, story telling
is an art, but it can be learned by
almost any one who wants to take the
trouble to master it. Some are more
gifted than others, but the majority
of those who want to tell effective
stories can do so, if they work at it.
The cause of most failures Is lack
Of preparation. 1t is not possible to
tell story to a group of boys or girls
without having prepared it and prae-
ticed it before delivering it. 1t is not
possible to tell story as it is written
and make 1t a success. Parts of the
written story must be left out, gaps
bridged over, high points accented
and vocabulary changed to meet the
limitations of the audience. All this
requires thoughtful reading and care
ful analysis and preparation. When
the story is prepared for delivery it
must be rehearsed. A person must
get used to the sound of his own voice.
The story must be selected with re-
gard to tastes of the audience. Boys
of 10 want different sort of story than
that desired by older boys. Action, and
more action, Is what Is required in
all the stories. What did he do? Did
he win out? The adventure must be
attractive, bit dangerous. The re-
suit must be in the balance, and the
hero must win through and be modest
about it. Boys don't like boastful
heroes. They beam with pride at
Lindbergh's shy introduction of him
self to the crowd gathered to receive
him in France. A brave deed well
done and no swagger about it.
Stories are used to point q moral.
Make sure that the story is left to do
its own pointing. If the teller does
the pointing, the effect is lost. Stories
are told to convey information. Make
certain that the facts are clear while
they are conveyed in happy phrases.
Stories are told to entertain. Make
certain that they are in good taste SO
that they establish standard Of en-
tertainment that will further the
child'S development instead Of re-
tarding it as ill-chosen tales are SO
likely to do.
Learn to tell story and you hold
the key to many critical situation.
