Ambition Without Cause.

Anchorage Daily Times)
 A man is in business to make money. If he does, well and good. If he does not, he often says business is rotten, else that his competitors are stealing it.
 He does not stop to think that often the cause is that his competitors using continuous news paper advertising and he is not; that they are getting business he should get if he awake. He does not realize that if he does not advertise his business will just struggle along until it dies. Maybe it will last until he dies. If it does that is all say. Both finished
 If his business lasts until he dies, he will go to Heaven-or the other place. If he goes to Heaven, he'll have harp. If he doesn't, he will be shovelng coal, getting a place ready for non advertisers and all the time wishing he had been good on earth
 To be a success in business and make money means a man can do for his dependents, his church and his home town What more could a man want to do?

assassin Of the governor of Galicia,
when that nation was under Austrian
domination. s. was then under
20.
AS the incident occurred in 1908,
was political necessity now only
historical, and as the gentleman was
in a genial frame of mind, he re-
lated freely the details Of his escape
after serving only three and one-half
years of a life sentence commuted
from hanging, last second favor -
brought about by public pressure.
During the years in Jail, sister
in Canada was tireless in her efforts
to rouse patriotic enthusiasm for
s. among American and Cana
dian immigrants of Galicia. Finally,
she succeeded in collecting a sum of
money sufficient to carry out her
plan for his escape.
Working secretly for months, she
and her assistants got through to
SIS guards, bribed them to her
side, corrupted mis- jailers, and worked
up a conspiracy on the inside of the
prison for his release.
On the appointed night, a stormy
one, in November, $, garbed
in the disguise of a guard and ac-
companied by one, in on the plan,
of course, marched past the superin-
tendent who turned, fortunately, at
the right moment, and out the prison
gates to freedom.
For three weeks he lived, hidden
in the house of a farmer a few
miles from the prison from which
guards emerged daily in search for
him.
Then he began his long tramp
gollth. through Rumania. ir1to Tur-
key. But he found this way out
barred. 1t was necessary to trek all
the way back, travelling only at night,
through the same towns he had
passed, even through the prison town
and the city where he had killed
the governor.
He proceeded through Germany to
Berlin, with Norway in mind. In
the German capital he met a young
fellow who invited him to travel with
him to and live at his home in Nor
way. The young fellow revealed him
self as detective who had just
completed course in sleuthing in
Berlin!
This turned out to be the greatest
good fortune, however S. trav-
eled openly in his companions

Some time later, managed
his final escape to this country.

 When opening time came yesterday, Tony decided that drastic action was necessary, 50 Inc thought of everything he could that would fall in that category and did it.

 Step number two was . call to . chemist, who tried buts didn't have too much success. Step number three, by Q Tony who by now was q little tired of it all, was . cali to the board of health, and Q visit to tho shop by that boards Tommy Murphy. Reslgnedly. Tony called police to complain about everything in general, but the police couldn't do much about it.
 As Q Last effort, Tony gath. cred . huge quantity of Chi- nese punk sticks and incense, and burned them all day yes- terday in c last effort to bring back freeh air to the barber shop.
 MEMORIES
 Today, though, things were . little better and Tony was almost himself again. Tho smell was gone. partially but not entirely, but business was picking up again. Tony even WhistIed now and then. Per- haps one reason was that the smelly chemical had been found to be actually a scda- tive. which is supposed to he good for ones nerves. So all was we'll, or rather getting well, in the vicinity of 003 East Main street today.
 The smell, Tony perhaps thought, was ending but its memory would finger on.
