’ The man who thinks the world
owes him a living usually tries to
overdraw the account many times.
People who try to drown their
troubles in the jug find them good
swimmers.
Many a man has married a peach
to wake up with a lemon on his
hands; therefore, don't set yourself
up -as an expert in pomology until
L you find out if you are a pair.
Do not vote with a. spirit of envy,

until its throat is sore and help is
welcomed.
The fellow who is doing the most

some concerns of his own to attend
to first.
The Kentucky senate has' voted
against state-wide prohibition and’ yet
memorialized congress for nation
wide prohibition. The precedent for

which proposed absoluted prohibition
for Alaska and voted down a propo

Major General Hugh L. Scott, while
similar to the situation which con
fronted With a problem somewhat
faced the lord chancellor in Gilbert
and Sullivan’s opera "Iolanthe.’’ His
lordship was the guardian of a score
or two of attractive young women.
Any man who wanted to marry one
of them was obliged to get the court’s
permission. The lord chancellor
wanted to marry one of them him
self, blit he did not know whether in
his capacity as guardian he could
acjt as both lover And judge. His ju
dicial temperament told him that he
could not give one of the beauties to
himself, and his heart told him other
wise.
When he had been acting as Sec
retary of War for a few days there
was placed on General Scott’s desk
•his newly drawn commission as a
major general of the United States
Army. Was it proper for Hugh L.
Scott, acting Secretary of War, to
sign a commission to Hqgh L. Scott
which would make him a major gen
eral? The soldier scratched his head,
bit his pen, and then sent an orderly
down the hall to request the presence
in the- Secretary’s office of Enoch H.
Crowder, judge advocate of the Army

’The Army's' legal '’adviseV also
scratched his head over the question
propounded to him. Then "he con
sulted the ancient Hardee’s tactics,
then the tactics of Upton, then the
latest manual for small-arms prac
tice, and follOwin'g these read a di
gest of the commissary general’s re
port on the food supply of the Army.
Then he told hi*’ chief £0 go ahead
and sign his own commission.
Hugh L. Scott, chief of the' staff
of the United States Army, therefore

TOBACCO THRIVKH
AN THK KANTISHNA
It has often been said that no one
as yet has realized the wonderful op
portunities offered in every line in
the Territory Of Alaska. This has
been truthfully said, for the latest
surprise to be furnished is the grow
ing of tobacco in the Kantishna. To
bacco has been raised before in the
Interior, but it was considered a
“joke.” To the people of the Kan
tishna the raising of tobacco is no
joke.
, Pete Anderson and Ollie Hjelvlg
have brought' down from the Kan
tishna some of the seed from the
tobacco grown there, and Geogre
Btellows, proprietor of the Bijou, Is
going to ship some of the tobacco and
some of the Seed to the states.
The residents of the Kantishna
district have matured the tobacco
apd it is now in general use around
Glacier city. It is used both as pipe
tobacco and for cigars. The planl
grows to a height of five or six feel
j and is a hardy one.
! A piece of ground on the flats neai
Glacier city, not far from Bear Pew
i river, was cleared of birch, and foi
an experiment, in the sense of a josh
some one suggested that tobacco be
grown. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hjelvig
to'ok it seriously, and the result i£
today the residents of the Kantishna
are commenting upon the excellent
flavor of tobacco that was raised on
these birch flats.
■, The first year the tobacco did noi
amount to much. The second year
the plants were started in the house,
under glass, and were later trans
planted just the same are are cab
bage plants raised around Fairbanks
The result has been extraordinary, tc
say the least. Old gardeners who art
located on the Kantishna, men whc
have had experience in tobacco rais
ing, stated last fall that the soil
had just the proper ingredients for
the raising of tobacco, and that there
is no reason why excellent tobacco
could not be raised there.
At any rate, anyone who has lived
in the Kantishna, near Glacier City,
will assure any one who doubts that
thitf story is a true one, that it is in
no sonse of the word “a pipe dream,"
blit is founded on fact and is the
truth.

thousand went in the steerage.

MI ST IJKT A DIVORCE
, OR QUIT HIS POSITION
TTenry Ford, who agreda to bring
peace in Europe and faileid, has car
ried the Oscar II idea into the homes
of his employes, according t® jeyela
jtions made before Judge E. Sullivan,
■ of the Superior court in Chicago,
i Thp peace leader’s rules provide
that employees and tlieir' wives who
i disagree njust hoist the white flag, ob
tain divorces or quit the employ of
the company and lose their $5 a day
in wages,
Henry Carter, a porter, who receiv
ed his $5 a day from the company, re
ceived a divorce from his wife on a
charge of desertion, and his witness
I was Walter H. May, formerly super
intendent of the sociological depart
lm ent of the Ford works.
May revealed the idea of the manu
■ facturer that the workman who quar
rels with his wife makes a poor work
man all day.
“As I understand, from the rules
of the company, a 'man that is in
the predicament that Mr. Carter is
now in will lose his position unless he
; is able to secure a separation from his
;wife?” asked the lawyer.
“Exactly,” May said.
I “I’ll give him a decree,” Judge Sul
: livan said.
