NORTHERN COGITATIONS
When “pink fingered dawn first tore aside the somber
curtains of the night” it must have been on Resurrection
Bay. This is the place where the stage is set and the
mountains seem waiting. ^ .
We had never seen it more beautiful before. This
morning some were lifted out of bed at the first break of
light as" though some quiet, beneficent spirit had aroused
them and lightly touched them on the shoulder.
Out across the bay an upstanding pinnacle of snow7
flashed brilliantly like a merry searchlight turned upon
the dark surroundings. The bay w7as black -raining- but
down along the range and all around the bowd some fairy
sprite began began picking out peak after peak, touching
each with a dainty w7and of pink and rose. Over one of
the high pinnacles a long streaming gossamer of drifting
snow flared out like a golden banner.
j? ^ H-' #
A wrhale boat came sturdily up the bay; the hand
some, yacht-like Surveyor, anchored off-shore; the big
freighter Tanana wTith its winches groaning under heavy
slings of dredge steel; smoke, drifting lazily from the fun
nels of smaller vessels—
* * * * * * * *
Coming back along the docks the bay reflected the
morning light like cold steel. The mountains in their
cowds of white stood silent as a forbidding brotherhood.
A stroller shivered and glanced in a warehouse door.
There was a plowT, a real plow7, made back in Illinois.
The early riser, a new-comer here, was not only aston
ished, but flabbergasted. It w^as addressed to somebody
over at Windy, Alaska, but my “gosh’’, how it warmed the
carkles of one’s heart. You see the stroller wras bom in
Illinois.
Over on a side track were a number of cars of rail
road ties destined for somewdiere up the line. Those
same ties were loaded aboard ship at Juneau. Later, the
stroller found a saw7 mill idle in Seward.
Those gulls get one’s everlasting goat! They are the
original “Gimme” colony; they take all and give noth
ing. If you have some thing, and believe me they know7
you have it, they will hang around till the cows come
home. If you haven't anything, they know that too, and
if you make the mistake of loitering around they will
greet you with raucous cheers. If you feed ’em most of
’em are sore because they didn’t get their beaks in the
nosebag. If you don’t feed them they’ll sail round and
round with a mournful wail like you had beaten their
last child to death with a mallett. What to do! What to
do!
North America was glad to see the Bremen flyers.
The Bremen flyers w7ere just as glad to see North America
A French woman who shot a man is now going to
marry him, possibly with the idea of finishing him some
how7.

LLOYD
BRIGHTENS
SERIOUS SIOE LIFE
fn “The Freshman,” as in that com-;
erfy classic, “Grandma’s Boy”; Harold j
Lloyd has taken a very serious idea,;
. i
and, without in the least kidding or
belittling ithe subject, has gotten a j
tremendous lot of fun out of it; and. j
without preaching, has put over a.
lesson.
“The Freshman” put over the psy-!
etiology of being yourself, in a £tory!
of a first-year student at college whose
sole ambition is to be the pride of his
college and the idol of his fellow stu
| dents. But, instead of achieving this
| worthy pinnacle by himself he imi
tates others who have been popular.
Instead of expressing his own person
ality, he is a reflection of everyone’s
pranks and tricks, because of a boob
ish willingness to do everything ask
ed of him—all in the hope of becom
ing the prince of regular fellows!
Harold Lamb, as the character is
named, Is a pathetic figure, so that,
even while you laugh at him you are
filled with sympathy foV him, and
when he finally triumphs you want
to join the whole college in cheering
him. “The Freshman” is playing at
the Lberity theatre tonight. It ranks
high among the best screen comedy
productions.
