I CHRISTMAS TREES
Make It n real Christmas and have a tree.

Nothing pleases and delights the children more than a Christmas
tree.

A niee lot to choos” from.

Following is the poem which Mrs.
Darl.ng wrote tor and read at the
I’lonecr Hoot Gaden on Saturday
night last
THE ALASKA PIONEER—AN A°
PRECIATION.
(By .Mrs. Esther Birdsall Darling.)
Some time when the North has i-s
Epics, and its hidden pages un
fold
Urcords of Argonauts seeking, ever,
their Fleeces of Gold,
There’ll be tal. s of adventure and
daring, tales full of struggle and
strife,
That break through the crust of the
surface—that deal with the bed
rock of life.
And these stories will rank with the 1
greaest; for, waiting that magi
cal pen.
Is an Empire of untold riches—de
veloped by unknown men;
Men who are unsung Heroes, who
have hewn and have blnz°d a
trail
H at Death no longer may claim f ih
toll when the luckless, falter ng,
fall.
I he re ■m- men who have sh it n
Rnplds no have scale 1 1,
mountain peak;
h" Inch 1 noil liuough an icy 'as
to B'v» it- 'loir strength tu '
weak;
Wro hav staggered with heat >n si:
met. ivii" have frozen in Wia
ter's sr.ow;
Who hate fated the menace of brets
htrh titf and of treucherou
ever-flow.
* i
" ho have driven their foot-sore hus
kies, patient, yet wild-wolf wis
Straight to the ead of tlie trarklo
waste where a haven of 3afet
lies.
And of such are the true Alaskans
the men who have fared thei
forth
To make a state of a Wilderness--!
conquer the unuod North.
And the women who strove besid
them, beside them may eve
claim
A place oil the Roll of Honor, in A!
aska’.s Hall of I’ame.
And 1 think when the Trail is end
ing for each weary Pioneer
His Hardsh ps will count as Virtu
whi n he crosses the Last Fruii
tier.
