Entered in the Post Office in Nome as Second Class matter. PAYING THE PIPER Billions of dollars have been paid out to veterans of the world war in the United Sta tes and Europe. More bill ions will be paid until the process of age removes the vast army of ex-soldiers now drawing pensions. And hardly has the world staggered from beneath the blight of the World War when another war lord steps to the front to review the rivers of blood and send bro ken wrecks of what were men into the army of veter ans for which all nations must provide. Democracies will be hard est hit by the Second World War, now underway to a good start, for, unlike one of the Charles, they cannot escape pension by “allowing the ex soldiers to beg on the streets without arrest !’’ In the old days when abso lute monarchy ruled Europe, soldiers were as much a chat tie possession as the horses they rode. The spoils of war were parceled out, first to the nobles with large estates wrested from the vanquished iand the bestowal of high sounding titles. The rank and file of soldiers who “fought for glory” got just that—the glory of having a preference for a job as servitor to “Me lud” or tilling his fields for a tithe of what was produced. But the Glory thing does not appeal to the uncultured senses of the cannon fodder as it used to do. He is de manding some of the material substance emanating from war. For the past century or more this idea has been the result of many changes in the personnel of government, but in Europe it matters little who sits on the throne, the divvy is about the same.—Ex.

They attacked him in force, in many kayaks. He was warned by his God of their coming and taking off his parka he smeared his body with salmon roe, having first collected a huge pile of sharp rocks near the seashore. As the expedition approach ed he went down to the sea shore and called to his ene mies saying: “See the sores on my body: I am ill and can not resist you. I am at your mercy." And all the people looked with astonishment at his festering body; they laid down their spears and before they realized their danger he hurled the sharp stones at them with such force that the boats were pierced and sunk and all the invaders were drowned. The narrative of his ad ventures covers many snows. At one time he was beset by thousands of his enemies and defeated them with the bone of a whale, which he used as a battle axe. He had frequent encounters with those who sought his life and was final ly killed by the treachery of his wives, whom he had fore ed to his igloo from a neigh boring tribe. The women bound him with their hair, which they had allowed to grow very long and thick. He was unab le to get loose and the women poured boiling whale oil in to his eyes and ears until he died.—Valdez Miner.
