NOME, ALASKA. DEC. 24, 1915. i
:
As the Nugget .% lit not appear to
morrow we take advantage of the pres
ent occasion to extend to our sub
scribers and the reading public gen
erally our very best wishes for a Mer
ry Christmas May the day be long
iiid full of the kindly cheer which
.lakes the hearts of mankind glad.
Tomorrow dawns the day which has
sained a wider celebrity than any other
in the history of the human race. A
uaj which, more than any other, has
been dedicated by a large portion ol
•deal and the perpetuation of the laem
> y of One so kindly, so benefleient:
that nor age nor era nor the all ob
terating misis of time can dim His
wondrous fame. There Is, perhaps, no
spoken word uf man that has a more
fulsome meaning than the word Christ
mas Throughout all the ages hu
man voice has sounded no word that
contains more vivid qualities of ex
pression, or greater depths of meaning
to the masses of humanity, than Is
embraced in that sibilant grouping ot
letters. Born in a dim and far oft age
and under conditions that were far
from favorable for its perpetuation In
the minds of men. It has nevertheless
come rolling downward through the
centuries bearing within itself a
greater Influence than any other ex
pression that has been written on the
page of time. Chrlsmas Is an empty
word to none in Christendom. No one,
great or humble in whom Its sound
does not stir some pleasant recollec
tion, or revive from the dim, and cloud
ed past, some 1 ng-forgotten scene of
• Joy and gladness.
liven when It comes only to bring
sad memories it comes to elevate, to
lift us from the cm monplace, into
other surroundings. And always it
comes as an Influence for good, for a
loosening of tho taut drawn heart
trings, for a laying aside of tho stern
er things of life, and it ever inclines
■ward the kindly and beneficent. To
the majority of Christian humanity, it
l the signal for the pent up founts of
kindness to well up like a flood from
hearts grown hard with tho bitter
ness of life. Its sordidness. Its strife
tnd struggle, and It over prompts to
good and Kindly words and deeds, to
.yi'ii'i thougiits and actions. Stern
and colloused Indeed is tho heart that
does not feel some kindly prompting
nen the Christmas joy bolls ring.
Sad Indeed is the soul that cannot flnu
some joy on that day of all days when
man permits himself to drop the mo
ment the Bordid things of ltfo and to
.raw a triilo closer to his fellow be
ing. in that spirit of kindness and af- j
Section which alone makes Ufo worth i
the living. I
Hardened beyond redemption is he
■ho cannot on Christmas day And it
;n his heart to grant to his brother a
trifle of something that will help to
lift his burden of care or ease his
journey along life's stony pathway
Some there are, perhaps, who can.
but truly they are.few. If He of whom
it Is told that He gave His life for
humanity, had left us no other herit
age than this one day His life would
have been well lived, for truly on that
■day humanity comes near to godliness,
anil virtue thruugh opening Its heart to
kindness and charity.
After a careful study of the Revel
ations of Bt. John, a Fairbanks party
has figured It out that the present Her
man emperor, in addition to bis other
temarkabie capacities and powers. Is
no other than the Scriptural “Beast”
which, it is prophesied should bring
unutterable woe upon the earth. It
will he remembered by those familiar
with the scriptures that the means of
determining the identity of the Beast
is Indicated in the thirteenth chaptei
as follows: "And they worshipped the
dragon witch gave power unto the
a east, and they worshipped the beast
saying Who is like unto the Beast?
who is able to make war with him?”
And there Is given unto him a mouth
|-speaking great things; and power Is
given unto him to continue forty and
-wo months."
1
Here is wisdom. Ret him that hath
understanding count the number ol
-he beast; for It Is the number of a
-nan, and his number is six hundred
-nree score and six.” Taking the num
oers indicated us a starter for his
tabors, the Fairbanks party proceeds
-o the following deductions after re
ducing the Biblical "six hundred, three
score and six" to Us numerical ele
ments, 1. e. 666.
The eleventh letter of the alphabet
is K; the first Is A. the ninth Is 1;
-he nineteenth is B; the fifth is E;
-lie eighteenth is R."
Having picked out the numerical
quivuleiits of the letters composing
-he word "kaiser" this ingenious
searcher then proceeds to test their
alue by arranging them In the follow
mg form with the Index numbers, six
-ollowliig the numerals corresponding
-o the places occupied in tUe alphabet
oy the letters composing the Herman
-mperor's title—with the following re
.ult:
K—11—6
A— 1—6
1— 9—6
S—19—6
E— 6—6
R—18—6
Now. In the opinion of our student
of strange and mysterious things, if
1 ,ve wish to learn the truth concern
ing the "Beast" all we have to do Is
I -u foot up the parallel lines of figures

ore asks the somewhat puzzling ques
tion: “Is the prophecy fulfilled?
