WILL SOON BE SQUIRREL CAGE
The other day we wrote a piece about the marshal
taking out a large crowd of insane folks, and told where
they came from, part of the story being on one sheet and
part on another. The part on the second sheet stated that
several taken from Valdez had been brought there from
the interior sections. Alas, the second sheet was lost in the
shuffle and our friends over at Valdez want to know
“Whadymean by This?” as follows:
“The Seward Gateway says that Marshal Brenemann
went out on the steamer Northwestern with the largest
bunch of insane people taken out of Alaska at one time for
years. It further states that four came 1 rom the westward,
two from Seward, and the rest would be taken from \ al
dez. We must have a fine reputation as a squirrel cage
over in the railway town."
Valdez has no reputation as a squirrel cage so far but
unless the department of justice adopts a different policy
regarding jails in towns of the Third Division, \ aldez will
find itself the chief squirrel cage, alright.
Under a new ruling of the department, insane persons
can be taken out only four times a year, which means that
unfortunates gathered in by the deputies may have to be
kept from one to two months. Several violently insane
people were taken out on the last trip and the prospect of
having a raving maniac in a ramshackle old jail such as
the one here at Seward is more than any deputy or his
neighbors could be asked to stand. The result is the ma
niacs from all sections of the division will be shipped to
Valdez while waiting the trip south.
Before going out this time the resident deputy mar
shal denounced the local jail as a disgrace to humanity and
said that were it not for the presence of a guard awake
at all hours the prisoners might break out any time, that
in addition it is most unsanitary, there being very poor
facilities for men prisoners and none for women. Either
the government should build its own jail at a very early
date or arrange with some person to erect a suitable build
ing under a long-time lease.
HANDS
“Speaking of hands,” observed Mr. Lately Married,
“my mother's were beautiful.”
In reply his young wife maintained the silence of dis
cretion. She had met that mother only a short time before
her death, but of her hands young wife had a distinct recol
lection.
She knew they were gnarled at the joints, puffy and
discolored with swollen veins showing through the wrinkly
skin, finger tips blunted, nails ragged. And young wife
wondered to herself how anyone could fancy those hands
beautiful.
Yet Mr. Latelv Married was right. His mother’s hands
were indeed beautiful, so beautiful that, to those who un

derstood, their ugliness went unseen.
Days by the thousands those same worn hands had
been soft enough to comfort childish hurts, and soothing
enough to fevered cheeks. They knew how through dex
terity to remedy what awkwardness had bungled. To a
million wants they had ministered and to two million
whims, doing the apparent task always, forever finding
work where none was commanded. They had fashioned
material things into essence of the spirit.
There is a loveliness of the hand that the manicurist
wots not of. Mother hands often possess it. But it’s just
as likely to be discovered in those of gruff-spoken farm
ers, storekeepers, mechanics.
Their’s is the beauty of service.—Ex._
