“I shall always remember Seward,” shouted an irate
man yesterday as he stepped out of jail.
SILENCE GREETS ANNOUNCEMENT
Since Senator Bartley Howard came out in Nome
with the announcement he will be a candidate, at the next
election, for Delegate to Congress from Alaska, nothing
but discreet silencehas greeted inquiries as to what the
rank and file think about it. Frankly speaking, the an
nouncement was not received favorably in this section of
the woods- The general silence is interpreted to mean
just that *'
|r THIS DAY IN HISTORY
First Continental Congress met (1774)
Battle of the Marne begun (1914)
SOME SPEED GIRL
“The stenographer we require,” ran the ad, “must be fast,
absolutely accurate, and must have human intelligence.
If you are not a cracker-jack, don’t bother us.’’
One of the applicants wrote that she noted the re
requirements and went on:
“Your advertisement appeals to me strongly—strong
er than prepared mustard—as I have searched Europe,
Airope, and Hoboken in quest of someone who could use
my talents to advantage. When it comes to this chin-mus
ic proposition, I have nevpr found man, woman or dicta
phone who could get first base on me, either fancy or
catch-as-catch-can. I write shorthand so fast that I have
to use a specially prepared pencil with a platinum point
and water-cooling attachment, a notepad made of asbes
tos, and ruled with sulphuric acid and stitched with cat
gut. I run with my cut-out wide open and am,in fact, a
guaranteed, double-hydraulic- welded, drop-forged and
oil-tempered specimen of human lightning on a perfect
thirty-six frame, ground to one-thousanth of an inch
“If you will avail yourself of the opportunity of a
lifetime, wire me; but unless you are prepared to pay the
tariff for such service don’t bother me, as I am so ner
vous I can’t stand still long enough to have my dress fit
ted.”
She got the job
Using the present airplane flights as a weather
guage, it seems to be an early fall for airplanes.
The only difference between hunting moonshiners
and bear is that moonshining season is longer. Verv
much so.
What’s the matter with Mayor Landes of Seattle?
Doesn’t she know Governor Parks has all the trouble he
can handle at the present tme endeavoring to keep Alas
ka on an even keel.
It is to be regretted .the large government dredge,
which has been at work widening Wrangell Narrows all
summer, was destroyed by fire and that this important
work must necessarily cease for an indefinite period.
If the Governor’s mansion at Juneau is too large for
one man why not create another department and rent out
a few rooms.
Today is Labor Day and by all rules and regulations
no paper should be issued today, but The Gateway staff
knows of no keener joy than producing a paper so here
she be.
Labor Day to some may mean a day of rest, but to
others it means more labor. But, as far as we have
learned, work has never killed anyone yet. Work and
grow fat and sassy. * ’ ,
