The a'nouncement that the Austrian
* - is not likely to cause further dlf
lities will doubtless be hailed with
nsiderable relief by every one capa
m of understandng the possible con
sequences of a rupture of friendly re
lations. Also it is especially agreea
hio to know that at tho dawning of a
new year we are at peace with the
world dospito the international frlc
lion which wo have been compelled
to under go during tho year whose
last chapter has Just boon closed. Tho
lessons which we have loaraod from
tho groat European .struggle have
• ought us tho value of peace and im
pressed a new regard for ways that
ire conducivo to its perpetuation. We
needed this lesson, perhaps, for there
no denying tho fact that wo have,
n tho past, been much given to an
exaggerated belief in our own might
and prowess with a consequent tend
ency to carry a chip on our shoulder
in the hope that come venturesome
chap would try to knock It off and
give us a chance to show what we could;
do In the line of scrapping. The war)
hss not only taught us the folly of
this conceit but also that there are
no blessings equal to those bestowed
by peace and transquillity. In Europe’* ;
blood drenched battlefields we see
spread the most convincing testimony
of the folly and evil of strife and lt|
s to bo hoped that the lesson has
been well learned so that the close,
of the present year will find us, as at!
ts begli.ning, at peace with all the
world and In full enjoyment of all the
blessing that only peace can bring, j

THE NOME SUN.
(By a "chechacko
L
1 awoke from my slumbers and lifted
my head,
The sun through my window shone
slanting and red.
The hand on the dial marked twelve
In the day.
Yet the sun'd scarcely launched a re
spectable ray
n.
“Oh, Sun," said I sweetly. ’D know It Is
late:
T am wasting a half of the day at this
rate—
Rut I saved several hours, while lights
glittered bright.
By adding a Hlire—a large slice of the
night.
XU
Hence my slumbers this morning, but,
why, may I ask.
Do you rise at this hour and take up
your task
And let hard wo.klng folks, who arise
with the lark
To tackle their Jobs—let them work ir
the dark’
rv\
Did you one step last night with the
frivolous stars,
To the tune of the Northern Lights
shimmering bars.
While the music the planets all make
as they’re moving.
'■’rashed out with a vengeance "the
High Cost of Living”’
V.
Dr. say, you old Sun, did you chance,
feeling gay.
To feel thirsty beside, strolling down
Milky Way,
And take down the Rig Dipper, a
glorified stein.
And fill the small hours with wassail
and wine”’
VI
As 1 spoke these last words In accents
severe,
the sun, I could see, thought: ’Td best
disappear!”
Ducked his head and made off—just
as if he’d not heard! —
And went down in the sea without
saying a word.
E. O’C., 1916
