ALASKA, THE WONDERLAND
%
Disclaiming anv intention to bestow undue praise or
cast boquets, and being not largely concerned if they be
boquets or otherwise so long as they lit well within the
limits of truth and justice, we rise to remark that this
glorious Alaskan wonderland of ours was created by the
gods to be Fortuna’s favorite tresting place, and the home
of her special wards.
l’o him of them whose thoughts dwell alone upon the
material and the transitory incidents of life she freely
gives satietv to his every essential want from her gold and
game-infested hills and dales, her food-producing waters,
her flower-co\ ered. berry-laden mountains, and the quick
growing fertility of her soil.
Fo him of them whose mind turns to the entrancing
magic of music and poesy and the arts beautiful, she of
iers brooks and nils and cataracts which sing unnumoer
ed lays in every tone from the tender cadence of a falling
flower to the crashing volume of a thousand thunders;
her spectral crags and fairy groves and shimmering
lakes are the abiding place of every Muse and all the
Graces, and in unequaled brilliance of her sunsets, and
tlie ever shifting lights and shades of her landscapes, he
may realize the ultimate in earthly loveliness and charm.
To him of them whose heart yearns to touch the
psychic altitudes of life, to dwell upon the whence and
whither of the soul, and the end and aim of man, the wide
earth offers nothing that will compare with the remote
fastnesses and unbroken solitudes of Alaska, the wonder
land.
OUT OF LUCK
And now we see a piece in the paper where Mrs. C. A.
Davis has tiled a suit, down in our neighboring town of
Seattle, for a divorce from Mr. Davis; the ground there
for being that the inconsiderate husband refused to let her
examine his receipts, books, and other business papers,
and upon the lady's insisting dubbed her a fool; the latter
term being qualified with offensive epithet, although not
the one you have in mind.
We entertain a sort of tenderness for Davis’ business
sentiments, but in respect of his discretion feel precisely
as we would towards anv other unfortunate survival of
%
the paleolithic epoch.
Anv individual in this feminist dav and time who as
* w
sumes nuptial relations with a female woman person of
sound and disposing mind and memory, and expects to put
over anything of a fiscal nature without her knowledge is
sailing straight for the rocks of disappointment. More
over, if he don’t become wise to this salient truth before
the expiration of the “tootsie-wootsie” stage of matri-i
mony. he is distinctly out of luck.

We feel sorry for the “sub" that met the Mongolia,
which is better than feeling sorry for the Mongolia.
❖
We wonder if those who have not signed the roll of
the local military unit are holding out in order to enlist
with the 2.000,000 farm hands.
❖
We suppose that fighting 15,000 feet in the air, is, in
military circles, a high ambition.

The Germans are “retreating to victory” on the west
ern front. We never pretended to understand the Ger
man language anyway.
-4>
“Retreating to victory" must be the German code for
"he who fights and runs away, will live to fight another
day" (if not killed or captured.)

There be those not yet convinced that his prowess in
arms would rob Caesar, Hannibal and Alexander of their
primacy in the art of war, but lives there a man with wit
