AS A CHEECHAKO SEES IT
The editor of the Nome Nugget, who is a recent arrival from the
States, grows philosophical, not to say poetical, over the departure ol
the last boat for Seattle. At that there is enough of optimism and
common sense in his article to make it worth while reproducing. Here
it is:
And now what? There she goes, (he Vic, huil down on the trail that leads to
the great, big world outside. The last of her smoke lias sagged away in the freshening
breeze, the beat of her engines and the strain of her tiller ropes have long since net.
uwuv. The passengers, some of them excepted, have ceased to look astern a; the rugged,
storm-swept shores of Nome, and have turned their eyes towards the theaters and cafes
and other delights of the big cities.
We, standing on the beach, have watched the passing of the la-t ship of the sea
son the last chance to "beat it" and perhaps our hearts are just a wee nil sad. There
is a longing 'way down deep to be where those others are bound.to get into the throb
bing life of the cities, to mingle with the gay crowds at the theaters and the ernes, to gat
away from the dreary winter that will soon grip the town in its icy hand.
Forget it. Every place is just what we make it ourselves. Wc can have just as
good a time here us those people whom we think lucky because they arc going to be sea
sick on ihe V ictoria for eight days and then spend their money on hum shows and n
high-oriced cafes. There's nothing to it. We can have every bit as good a time here a
can lie had anywhere in the world if we get together and go after i! It may not look
[hat way now. Everybody may be a bit sad and blue. But just wait till that wears off
and things begin to be doing. Or better still, don't wait for things to begin, but get
busv and start something. Start anything, anything but knocking; don't start that or
all the rest of us will quit being sorry we didn't go out on the Vic and wish that you
had.
We don’t need any soreheads or scandalmongers or people going around with chips
on their shoulders here this winter. A few of that sort can spoil the year for the entire
population.
\\ hat we need now is the merry little brichteves who has something to propose
for livening things up. We need the organizer with the enthusiasm end energy to put
things over. We need the fellow who is not looking for a chance to “.e insulted. Put who i
has ihe cheerful smile and the utilitarian idea of doing the greatest good to the greatest
number. We need the mail and the woman who have not found life such a dead thing
that it doesn’t seem worth while to even try to be anything but an ol 1 bear, satisfied to
turn in and spend the winter asleep.
“Get busy" is the motto now. Get busy and keep busy. If you do not have any
[ articular occupation to keep you busy, go out and find one. There are plenty of thing ,
that can be done. There are plenty of people who may be helped. Organize, organize
anything that makes for pleasure and profit, and when you get it organized, don’t let j
it die Organize a good thing and thou push it along. Everybody will help to support '
anything that makes for the pleasure and profit of all.
There is no reason why this should be a dead winter. There is no reason why <
we should envy those men and women out there on the Victoria. We can have just
as good a time here as they are going to have, and we do not have to go as far as they
are going to get it.
Take a few days to get settled down and then if everybody will chuck all the
cussedness out of their dispositions until next summer and go out of doors the first col !
day with a smile on their face and let it get frozen there for the winter we will have the
merriest little old time here that ever happened.
SECRETARY LANE IS ALL RIGHT
The Oregon Journal says: In Portland Secretary Lane said:
“We ought to make it just as easy as possible for a man to get a home
in Alaska, and just as hard as possible for a speculator to get hold of
the public land and hold up a man who wants to get a home. There
is no sounder policy.
SAINT NICOLAS’ DAY
All the children nowadays look for the coming of Santa Claus on
Christmas eve, and doubtless they, as well as their parents, mainly un
derstand that to be the day of St. Nicholas.
But today, the 6th of December, is the true day, and last night
was the time when this patron saint of the school children was abroad
in the land of his birth, Russia, and in the land of his adoption, Ger
many.
M. [Nicolas, the Kussian, was bishop or Myra, m Lycia, a country
on the coast of Asia Minor, whose people were prominent in the Trojan !
war; and he was imprisoned under Diocletian, to be released by Con
stantine. In 1807 his remains were removed to Naples, and the day
May 9, is observed as a church festival throughout all of orthodox
Russia.
Upon his adoption into Germany an “h” was inserted in the name
and it became Nicholas; the Dutch had it Sankt Nikolas, whence came
Sankt Klaus and then Santa Claus, which is now common in all the
countries.
In the English-speaking countries the celebrat'on of Santa Claus’
day has become merged into Christmas, though the old Dutch settlers of;
Manhattan island—“little old New York”—kept the 6th of December.
Merchants, sailors and travelers seek the protection of St. Nich
olas, and this, with the school children, makes Santa a very busy samt
indeed. _
“TRADE AT HOME” MEANS PRINTING, TOO
Hillsboro, Mo., Journal: Editors are all born boosters. The
other day the editor was requested to join a lodge and was handed a
petition printed by a supply house; he got a dun from a merchant in
a government stamped envelope and written on a Gargling Oil state
lent; he made a purchase at a store and got a duplicate bill printed
n Chicago, and wrote a check on a blank pr.nted >n Denver. \e gods!
now can an editor be expected to join lodges and pay bills on such
treatment as that, and all the time tell the people to trade at home?
Ever th'nk of it? Editors have to be born boosters, prepared to live
on dried herring and stand for everything.
MODERN MEDICINE
If any man in sickness squirms, the doctor comes and talks of germs an
quotes some Latin verbs, and says th-a* he must go out.moors and browse around
there on all fours, and eat some grass a 1 herbs. The doct' rs have such freaki-h
cures that man by preference endure hi- sickness while ne can; hell nurse hi
bruises and his galls in solitude, while h recalls this good ol 1 -fashioned p.un. In
olden days -alas, they’re sped! the sick man could remain in bed and groan and
kick with zest; the doctor came and gave him dope, and said: ‘‘You’ll soon be
well. I hope, but what you need is res !” Ah. yes. my friends, in bygone time
the sawbones, with his skill sublime, w rid order rc-t and peace; but now he
teeters to your couch and says you are a lazy slouch, and orders elbow grease.
“Get out of that.” he sternly cries, to h m who’s sick, “take exercise! Go out and
climb a tree! Live in a tent, sleep on the grass! Cut out the sulphur and blue
mass! Get busy as can be!” I I ke the old way the best; when I am sick I long
for rest; I like to lie in bed, while wo cn fan my fevered brow and ask me if
I'm better now, and bring me toasted bread. Walt Mascn._

MAN OF THE WORLD
WAS BIG TIM SULLIVAN
Timothy Sullivan- “Big Tim”—was one
of the best beloved of the genial Tammany
leaders whose power came from popularity
in the swarming tenement districts that
have put many a Tammany candidate into
llice. His stronghold was the Bowery’.
Every winter he distributed shoes and
ilathing to thousands of human derelicts.
“Big Tim” was a child of the Bowery.
He was born in a Leonard street tenement
n 1S63, and all his life he resided in the
lown-town district of New’ York. He was
one of four young children left fatherless.
When he was 11 years old he was selling
rtapers on the streets. But he was too am
bitious to stay a newsboy. A year later he
was working in a newspaper pressroom.
Sullivan was a political power in a small
vay before he was of age. At 23 he was
looted to the state assembly, and there he
.erved continuously for eight years. After
he assembly came the senate, where he
erved four two-year terms and part of a
itth. Then he went to congress.
“Big Tim” did not find Washington as
n.enial as Albany, and after a few years
f private life he was elected to the state
mate again.
Against his will, it was said, he ran again
hr congress last fall.
‘Big Tim's” wealth was acquired from
many sources. Chief among them were
al on and racing and theatrical interests,
n which his association was eagerly sought.
At one time his fortune was estimated at
ii re than $2,000,000. but pensioners were
c nstantly increasing, and during the last
few years his ventures were less successful.
Worry was the last ailment his friends
i ld associate with Sullivan’s sunny dis
osition, but it was worry, they agreed, that
linal y broke down his mind and brought
him to death. The death of his cousin, Ai
erman (‘Little Tim”; Sullivan, was the
.irst blow. The treachery of one of his
rusted friends cost him. it was said, $100,
000. Then came the death of his wife. He
irst showed signs of breaking down in
\ugust. 1911. and although since then there
ore occasional flashes of his old wit, his
ealth steadily declined.
Once Fine Specimen
When he was in robust health he was a
.ne 1; king, upstanding man of some 210
unds weight. Illness robbed his form
.:nd reduced it to its youthful slenderness.
;ie never touched liquor or tobacco, but
n attack of diabetes ami an ever growing
>i:rden of worry and care dragged him
own.
I he greater part of his fortune is report
: to have melted away. He had been cl
:*.ys a “good fellow.” as open-handed as a
. «'r.l 1 rd. Anyone could “touch” him
r anything, from a bucket of coal to a
•w thousands of dollars, according to his
,ed and station. One of the causes of his
•reakdown is said to be worry over the loss
f $700,0( 0 in the last two years on notes
hich he had signed or indorsed for friends.
Big Tim. the idol of the Bowery, had
> en one of the most picturesque figu^s
American politics. He had loomed large
in the dusky background of the city’s life,
lie strongest politician in Tammany Hall.
His word was law to many thousands. He
ad the largest personal following any man
n New York politics ever could command.
. o man ever was more generous to the
1 • ion of the hopeless, the army of the
vvn ami out. Twice or thrice a year he |
>d 8.000 or 10,000 homeless men, and once
r twice a year he supp.ied shoes to an
r;ual number of waste men of the Bowery.
He had made millions of dollars and, what
•ver eUe may be said about him, no one
. ver accused him of being stingy or mean.
As a sporting man he ranked among the
highest. He would bet a small fortune any
time on the turn of a card or the result of
a race.
A Busy Man
For many years it had been more diffi
cult to see Big Tim and speak with him
ban to have an audience with the king of
England or the president of the United
^tates. He had to hedge himself about with
heutenants as a matter of self-protection,
lie knew his own weakness—that a great
number of persons were always waiting to
"touch” him. and that once he was asked
he could not refuse. Yet the human bar
riers that he reared seem to have kept out
only the little fellows, if the story of his
>7( 0 000 1 •ss in bad loans in the last two
years is to be believed.
The possession of money and power by
any man draws humankind to him as mo
lasses does flies. Big Tim drew not only
, the riffraff, but all other classes of human
ity. He was a man of tremendous influ
ence, and no doubt was credited with the
possession of greater political power than
even the vast amount that actually was
his. By his followers he was regarded as
next to omnipotent.
To see Big Tim at some public gathering
was a sight to linger in one's memory. He
had the most magnetic personality of any
man in American politics. His smile can
be described adequately only by the word
“beautiful.” He radiated kindness.
There have been some pretty hard stories
tc.ld about Big Tim. He consorted with all
sorts of characters, but no one ever knew
him to break his word or betray a friend.
Big Tim came up from the ranks of the
street arabs. No one had started so low
and risen so high in power. There have
been a dozen times when he could have
taken the mastership of Tammany and
been the acknowledged political ruler ol
New York. But always he was content to
remain in the background. He was not
an orator and not a student. The only
school in which he ever had a chanoe to
learn much was the school of experience.
In that he took a full course, a post gradu
ate course, and was eligible for the place
of dean of the faculty.
A Charming Personality
Few men had such a charm of manner
that was attractive in equal degree to the
highest and the lowest. There is hardly a
prizefighter America has known in the last
25 years that has not boasted of his friend
ship with Big Tim. There is not a thi^f of
prominence that New York has known for j
the iast quarter of a century thr.t has not
boasted of his friendship with Big Tim.
There is not a hamlet or a tank town l'om
he Atlantic to the Pacific, from I.tike bu
perior to the Gulf, in which hobos have not
told affectionate tales of Big Tim. While
he held the friendship of prizefighters, of
hieves anti of tramps, he also had the
friendship in no less measure of the princes
• f finance, of great political leaders anr» of
other men of renown. lie was one. of the
few men with a genius for politics who had
a genius for business as well. 11- thrived
because he used politics to push his busi
ness—his theaters, his penny slot machines,
his moving pictures and his connection with
the race tracks.
Take it all in all. Big Tim was the highest
type of feudal ruler that New York has
produced in this generation. His career
was a checkered and stormy one There
was hardly a savag# accusation ‘hat a man
could make that has not been leveled at
him at one time or another. In iIn
spector Byrnes a.-ked the legislature for a
peremptory bill giving him the power to '
arrest on sight ail criminals whom h<* might
find in New York on the day of the cen
tennial celebration in May of that year 'I he
bill passed the senate unanimous’*/, out it
was held up in the assembly by Sullivan.
Inspector Byrnes then made this p 1 lie :
tatement renaming Big Tim:
Byrnes and Tim
“Timothy D. Sullivan, better known as
‘Dry Dollar’ Sullivan, associates in New
'i ork with thieves and disreputable citizens.
Peter Barry, one of the leaders of the fa
mous Whyo gang, was one of his boon com
panions. Barry is now serving seven years
in state prison. Tommy McAveny, general
thief, is another chum of Sullivan. Some
time ago, when Tommy Nichols and John
Clark were arrested for burglary, Sullivan
ried his hardest to get Cottrell, one of my
.electives, to make it light for them. Sul
livan also associated with Johnny Hand.
Danny Lyons, Janies, alias Figs, Lyons, and
Dan Drisco 1. hanged for murder, and doz
ens (f other criminals.”
The clay after Byrnes made this an
nouncement Sullivan ar se in the assembly
and answered him. He told the story of
his life and of his boyhood acquaintance
with some of the.'C criminals. “My father
ieci when I was 4 years old," he said. “I
was the second youngest of four children
My mother struggled along as best she
could, but when I was between 6 and 7
years old I had to go down town and help
to keep the rest of us together—sell news
papers and one thing and another. I can
prove that, since I was 7 years old until the
day before I came to the legislature I never
l >st two days’ work in my life. Now, I do
not think I have had much time to asso
ciate with thieves.”
Sullivan's speech made a deep impres
sion on the assembly—some of the men
openly shed tears. But Byrnes cynically
reiterated his charges, saying: “He de
fends the only days of his life when he
made an honest living.”
UNIQUE DAKOTA MAN
WRITES OWN EULOGY
Watertown. S. D. Oct. 2.—There has re
cently died at Christoval, Texas, in the per
son <>f one Caton Hablitt, one of South Da
kota’s most unique citizens.
Hablittle bore the distinction throughout
his 20 years of residence here of being the
lar.est man in the state, he having tipped
the beam at 512 pounds. Despite his great
.-ize, he was quite active, and for years
managed successfully his 3,000-acre ranch a
few miles west of this place.
lie was a freethinker after the pattern of
Ingersoll. No minister officiated at his
funeral, no hymns were sung, and the only
services were the reading of an oration and
obituary, which he himself had written
some time before his death.
GOOD LAW FROM THE BENCH
Attorneys, of course, will contend that
Judge Sullivan of Chicago has violated
precedents, ignored the law and made him
self subject to the recall, if they happen
to favor the recall, by his decision in a
case in his court the other day. The law
yers may be right, in a strictly technical
sense, for probably there is nothing in the
law books to sustain Judge Sullivan, but
the book of common sense is all on his
side.
A saloonkeeper was before Judge Sullivan
on a charge of disorderly cnnduct. He de
nied the charge, but admitted that he had
garnished the wages of a workman to col
lect a $10 bar bill. The man’s wife was in
court. She testified that her husband was
industrious, but that for two weeks she
had been without proper food for herself
and children because her husband’s wages
were tied up in court.
“This court is of the opini°n,” said Judge
Sullivan, “that any saloonkeeper who ex
tends credit to a poor man with a family
and gives him whisky on that credit, and
then sues him to take away the few dollars
from his family, is guilty of disorderly con
duct. I fine you $25.”
That may be a strained definition of dis
orderly conduct, but it should serve in such
cases.—Tacoma Tribune
