"MARSHAL' UW IN FAIRBANKS.
When it is remembered that Marsha)
Perry threw up his hands two years ago
io the presence of "the blue parka
man"? a solitary highway man who
took to the road in the spring, when all
the world was glad and the miner was
coming to town with bis gold dust? and
told the people of Fairbanks that they
must look out for themselves, as his
force of deputies and the law were un
equal to the situation, one hesitates to
accept his declaration of martial law as
warranted by the conditions. At least
we shall wait for corborative evidence.
At the time refered to no indignant
cltiien wired to Washington asking
thai the troops quartered away down
on the Yukon, two hundred miles from
anybody, be sent up there and placed
on patrol duty. No attention was paid
to the request. Now, however, it seems
that at least one company is to be sen1
up to the Tanana country. Had they
been there all this time it is safe to say,
their mere presence would have made
any declaration of martial law not only
unnecessary but it would never have
been thought of. A post in the vicinity
of Fairbanks is an eminently proper
move.
Lily Langtry keeps in the game
mighty well for a woman of her age.
She is the heroine of a tale from Monte
Carlo now. The last heard of her she
was selling out her London establish
ment because the landlord insisted on
the rent. She was bavin? the same
clod of luck right along: at Moots Carlo '
when she suddenly quit and declared j
the would play no more. But she had
to paas another roulette wheel on her
way out of the place and, like a real
?port, couldn't get psst. She placed
the limit on a single number and it
same that way on bo'h tables. It is
related that it took the croupiers nine
minute* to count out her winnings.
Then she went away like a brave girl
and the same number woo at the next
throw. Of course this left her winnings
unequal to her remorse.
These stories of the wonderful walk
ing stunts that occupy sj much space
in the great newspapers down south
and which require so much of the
newspapers of the north in the mtttor
of telegraph tolls? io the judgment of
the news senders? lend something of
weariness to our life. To be sure Mr.
Weston, who has revived the fashion,
is deserving of everybody's groit re
spect?he is a wonder when his age 1b
oonsidered. But for the others? why,
it is a part of the daily life of the in
habitants of the North to set out on a
stroll of a thousand miles or so, and
the only note of the undertaking is the
"god speed" of the traveler's friends
and the personal in the newspaper.
The mayor of Alton, 111 , has set an
example that seems on a fair way to
become a fashion. He built a large
tenement to be let only to married
folks with children? reversing the
usual order of landlord*. A New York
owner of many houses has caught the
spirit and declares be will lower the
rent for each visit of the stork to a ten
ant of his. If this thing keeps on the
grown ups will be getting so good that 1
the babies of the next generation will
be ashamed to cry io their presence.
When that round the world auto trip
was make to serve for a little good
natured jollying it was not supposed ;
any would drop outof the undertaking!
fairly within sight of the starling post. '
rhey who would undertake the circling ;
of the world, one would think, would
know a little something ?( the world
they would circle.
Delegate Cale should hold to his
course with patience. Keep hammer
ing. Speaker Cannon is still a lorce in (
congress and he deolares himself against
us in the matter of home rule, but even
he can be brought to understand in
time.
MATERNAL PRIDE
Oh, my, Oh, my, the years go by
Like sheep the dotra are harryin';
But late I had a llspln' lad,
An' now he talks o' marryio'!
Lord bless mel but he has the strut
Of one that's grand at?' knows it;
No lass so prim that looks at him
But likes his cut an' shows It.
An', faix, 'twould do your heart good,
too,
To hear him at the blarney;
There's scarce a lass that sees him pass
But wears a smile for Barney?
Our Barney?
A wlsful smile for Barney.
Tho' Cupid lays cute snires these days,
When Barney goes philanderin',
An' all his traps hold geeBe, perhaps,
None takes this bold young gander in.
Ah! none as yet, but there's a net
That will, one day or other, v
An' her I'd name to bate the same
Is one like me, his mother.
Aye! sure as fate, he'll take for mate
Swett, roguish Nora Kearney,
Who moets his wiles with scornful
smiles,
As once I did with Barney ?
My Barney,
The father of "our" Barney.

BABY TORTURED

Out? "Cradle Cap" Added to
Baby's Torture? Tries Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment*
IMMEDIATE RELIEF
AND SPEEDY CURE
*My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her faoe and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially
nights. They would
cause her to be
broken of her rest,
and fiomotimee she
would cry until she
was tired out. I had
always used Cuti
cura Soap myself,
and had heard of so
many cures by the
Cuticura Remedies
that I thought I
would give them a
trial. Tneimprove
mentwas notaceablo
In a few hours, and before i had used
one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since I also used it to remove what
la known as "cradle cap" from her
head, tnd it worked liko a charm aa it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the samo
time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment
on hand in case of any little rash or
insect bites, as it takos out the inflam
mation at once. Perhaps this may be
the means of helping other Buffering
babies. Mrs. Hattio Currier, Thomae
