WAS IT YOUT
CJOME one started the whole day
® wrong—
Was It you?
Some one robbed the day of its
song—
Was it you?
Early this morning some one
frowned,
Some one sulked until others
scowled.
And soon harsh words were passed
around—
Was It you?
SOME one started the day aright—
Was it you?
Bomo one made it happy and
bright—
Was it you?
Early this morning, we are told,
Some one smiled, and all through
the day
This smile encouraged young and
old—
Was It you?

A NOTED CHARACTER
In the passing of Tom Lloyd of
Fairbanks on July 17, Alaska loses
one of its most picturesque figures
and most noted characters. It was
Tom Lloyd who arranged and headed
the expedition that succeeded in scal
ing the precipitous heights of Mt. Mc
Kinley in the year 1909. In the par
ty were Archdeacon Stuck and Har
ry Carsen, better known as the For
ty Mile Kid. Their ascent, while
spectacular in the extreme, was also
the means of disproving the claims
of the famed Dr. Cook.
Tom’s death, while not coming as
a complete surprise, was a shock to
bis many friends scattered tbrougout
the Territory. He had been ailing for
an extended period with heart trou
ble, but otherwise was in robust
health and at sixty five years of age
was considered a youngster. The fun
eral took place in Fairbanks and was
attended by the hundreds of his
friends who were in town at the time.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug.
