THE ORGIN OF A
famous mm
(Youth's Companion.)
Fruni time to time discussion arise;
in the newspapers user tlie origin of
he most famous phrase In Lincoln's
Gettysburg address: "Government of
the people, by the people, and for the
people.” The words were not struck
out by Mr. Lincoln on a purely original
impulse; the thought had been in the
minds and on the lips of lovers of
liberty and democracy for years.
in 1860, Theodore Parker, addressing
an anti-slavery convention at Boston,
spoke of the American idea as “a gov
ernment of all the people, by ail the
# people, for all the people.” • Twenty
> ears before. In the course of the reply
to Hayne, Daniel Wehser voiced the
same thought “The people’s govern
ment. made for the people, made by the
people, and answerable to the people.”

thought.

LIGHTS THAT NEVER GO OUT.
(Milwaukee Sentinel.)
In a vault of the fortress cathedral
of SS. i’eter and Paul, in I’etrograd,
the place of interment of the czars,
two great candles are always kept
burning one at the head and the other
at the foot of the casket of the c/.ar
last buried.
# These candles, which are replaced
immediately they are burned down,
have been kept burning constantly
since the burial of Alexander II.. in
1881, at the head and foot of his tomb,
and were transferred In 1891 to the
head and foot of the exar next to die
There they will remain until another
emperor die* and Is buried.

BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS.
(Kansas City Star.)
There is one man in Kansas City—
there may be hundred of them, but
this one we know—who hates to hear
the whistle blow at 5 o’clock. It means
that he must go home to a scolding,
nagging wife, and he is a cheerful,
happy man in the office, and tries to
be the same at home.
In the same office is a man who
hates the routine of his work even to
loathing. He is as a prisoner chained
to his desk always growling at his lot
in life. His corner is not bright and
the other men keep away from it. He
married a bright, cheery girl. She
tried her best to be happy and to make
him happy, but it was no use. and
gradually she lias become as gloomy
as he.
So many lives arc ruined by a
gloomy, scowling, sour, disgruntled,
sroucjiy attitude toward life. And
every ono of them could bo changed
and uplifted and glorified with a smile,
probably the majority of conversions

one of right living and good cheer i3

ALASKA’S CLIMATE
IS CHANGING
Without a douht the climate of Al
aska has changed for the better within
seventeen years. All people seem to
think so who have been here for that
period After making every allowance
for the possibility that the supposed
change may only have been due to
our becoming accustomed to the condi
tions. there Is still every reason to
believe that the climate of Alaska ac
tually Is undergoing a change. This Is
nothing supernatural. It has been
j gradually dawning on the minds of
| 'aymen In Ihe territory for years and
-elentlsts have given voice to the same I
opinion.
-' remarkable thing In this connee.
d'Oi Is that Amundsen the explorer
i I Ihe warm ocean currents were
hanging In such a manner that the
Minute to the north of Alaska Is un
lergolng constant change for flip bet
ter Tie even said that the lee In the
northwest passage was flowing steadily
i awards tlie Atlantic and would soon
■mpty Itself Into the ocean. This state
ment was made before the Titanic dls
,s,Pr And It Is quite possible that the
treat vessel's destruction was due to
• \traordinary Ice floes Into the Atlan
'ie from the passage. Amundsen said
those things while he was at Nome
ifter his trip and wrote them after
wards in an outside magazine so there
is no reason at all why old residents
of the territory should doubt the re
sults of their own observations. That
the climate of Alaska- Is becoming
milder seems, indeed, to bg a positive
fact. It was a tropical country before,
remember, and, hang It, it is pretty
tropical right now.—Seward Gateway.
