from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
] tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print.

“Many and sharp the num'rous
ills
Inwoven with our frames!
More pointed still we make our
selves
Regret, remorse and shame!
And man, whose heaven-erected
face
The smiles of love adorn,
Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousand
morun.”—Burns.
ONCE MORE!
A rumor was circulated in Ko
diak, March, 1803, to the effect
that: “Next year there would be
an expedition around the world
and those who showed the most
proficiency in needle work or
otherwise might, you understand,
might have a chance to see the
world.” Needles were plied fast
and furious, and—
“What could be sweeter,” cried
an excited young widow, “than
to have a nice cup of chi (tea)
with her Gracious Majesty, the
Czarina, see our good sisters at
Paris and perhaps, meet that
handsome caballero, the King of
Spain!”
“Don’t excite yourself, dear,” ad
monished an old babushka (mid
wife), “and do be careful with that
needle; you know, these white
men have never brought us any
thing but plagues, beads and re
demption.”
. . . Along towards the end of
March, you know, the next morn
ing was the first of April, 1803.

most enjoyable winter, very little
snow fall, the sea otter catch was
most gratifying, balls followed
balls; for, were not 10,000 natives
kept busy and in useful occupa
tions, taught the first rudiments
of culture, a love and fear of
God and obedience to the Czar!
Such scenes and gaiety never
were since equalled in Alaska or
perhaps elsewhere; the geese hung
high—cantabile!
SUPERSTITIONS
Formerly whale hunters secretly
exhumed long, buried cadavers,
carried them to mountains and
extracted the oil from their feet
for dipping spear-heads used in
spearing whales. They also gath
ered worms from these cadavers
and attached them to their spear
heads.

SOME BUGLER!
Two negro soldiers were discuss
ing the relative merits of their com
pany buglers. Said one, “Fellah,
when dat boy of ouahs plays call,
it sounds ’zackly like de Boston
Symphony playing de Rosary.”
The second soldier snorted: “Bro
ther,you ain’t got no bugler a-tall.
When Snowball Jones wraps his
lips ’round dat bugle and plays
mess call, I looks down at mah
beans and I sez, ’Strawberries .be
have! You is kickin' de whipped
cream out of de plate.’ ”

Advanced Refrigeration
Continually working for the -d
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding stars
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes mors ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable whits
porcelain-on-steel and provides
more shelf space than before.
