THE OLD WAY
of saving money was to put it in a
stock'ng and secrete it where it could
easily be found by a thief: they know
such'things are usualy kept.
The Belter Way is to b'iy ooe of the
five per-cetn plus dividend Gold Bonds,
issue! by the Northern Securities and
B?nking Company and secured by Real
Estate securities, held hy the Seattle
Trust and Title Company. These
Bonds can be purchased un the monthly
or annual payment plan. They are
safe and offer the highest dividend earn
ings consistent with conservative man
agment.

OLD GANG NO
LONGER POPULAR
Sitka, Aug. 15? The news that the
' report of Frank C. Church scores Jack
son and Kelly does not occasion the
amount of sadness that might be ex
pected in this former stronghold of
Jackson- Kelly ism. Jackson is regarded
with little sympathy here, even among
those prominent iu the Presbyterian,
church and it is a matter of knowledge
that he is almost totally out of joint
with the faculty of the mission Kelly
lost all his popularity by trying to force
the school board to admit half-breeds
to the public school.? Juneau Dispatch.

,2 FOURTH AVE., SKAGWAY
| A Chance For His Life j
[Copyright. 1906, by Homer SpraBiio.]
In the three gun battery at Fort Cul
ver was a horse named Eureka.
Eureka had been with the battery for
over two years and had made two suc
cessful Indian campaigns when a trag
edy came Into his life. One of his hind
legs began to swell, and in three or
four days he was disabled from duty.
The veterinary took him in hand at
once, but made no progress. The limb
swelled to three times Its normal size,
and no remedy was found to be of
avail. More than a dozen veterinaries,
soldier and citizen, had a look at the
horse before a final verdict was pro
nounced, and all knew what the end
would be, and all pitied him. At the
end of three months the leg was no
better, and the fiat went forth that be
was to t>e shot.
"Corporal Brixton and guard will
take the horse out on the prairie and
shoot him," read the order, and the
colonel added verbally, "And do it as
decently as you would shoot a man."
When Eureka was ready to be /led
forth to execution 300 men Insisted on
gathering to bid him goodby. He was
everybody's horse to admire and praise,
but it was only the battery men who
had the privilege of rubbing his arched
neck aud smoothing his velvet nose
and telling him that he should never be
forgotten, though replaced. Strangely
enough, the ailment had not affected
the horse's general health. Ills eye
was just as bright aud his spirits just
as high as when able to iflove with the
swiftness of an antelope. He rubbed
his muzzle agalust the cheeks of the
men aud whimpered for sugar, and
when he weut limping away caps came
off and men felt it lump gathering lu
their throats.
The cortege wound over the hill a
quarter of a mile away and theu de
scended into the valley, aud the pace
was that of a funeral procession. When |
It was out of sight of the fort Private
Daily asked of Corpora! Brixton:
"Corp, are ye a man or a scoundrel?"
"I'm a man, I'd have ye know, and
I've proveif It fifty times over," was
the answer.
"And have ye got a heart In yer
bosom ?"
"As big as a beer keg."
"And would ye murder a helpless
baby?"
' "Cuss me if I would! I know what
you are driving at, and you leave it to
me."
Half a mile across the valley they
came to the fringe of bushes and en
tered them. Eureka had but the slight
est use of his leg, but he hobbled on
after a fashion aud made no complaint.
On the contrary, he snorted and sought
to dance around as In the days of his
strength. By and by a glassy glade
was reached. Here was food and wa
ter for a hundred horses, and the cor
poral called a halt.
"Pally and Heudersou, listen to me."
he said. "The orders are to shoot Eu
reka. I won't."
"Bully for you, old man!" they shout
ed.
"I shall have to report him dead, but
It will be a lie, and If either of you
ever betray me I'll have a bullet ready
for you lu the first skirmish that takes
place. If I was cold blooded enough to
shoot down a horse like this I'd want
Uncle Sam to kick ine out of the army
and me own mother to go back on mc.
Make ready now? aim? Are!"
The carbine shots rang out. The
noise did not startle the horse In the
least, but It might have been heard
at the fort by any one listening. The
men. had aimed above the horse, and
their bullets went singing through the
treetops.
"Is he finished''" asked the corporal
as he turned his back on the feeding
horse.
"He Is, sir," answered Dally.
"Then heaven rest his soul for a good
horse, aud forward march."
For four or five days thereafter the
men of the entire garrison looked
askance at the three men and drew
away from them. They had acted
under orders, but they had shot down
Eureka. They knew what ailed their
comrades, but they kept their own
counsel. The report of the corporal
was accepted without question, and
the Incident passed Into history.
Had Eureka been well In limb he
would have made his way back to the
fort before dark. As It was, he fed
and drank and slept. They had given
him his discharge from the service
had made an outlaw of him, and he
had no further right on the lines or In
the stables. He did not move out of
the glade that day or night. About
midnight a big timber wolf came out
of the foothills and circled around him
and glared and growled, and the horse
rose up with painful effort and made
ready to defend himself with teeth and
hoof. The w<if did not attack, how
ever, and when daylight came the crip
ple hobbled up the valley In search of
a more secure retreat. That was In
the last days of May. The valley was
not settled, and the horse had It all to
himself except for the few deer, buffa
lo and wild horses that strayed In occa
sionally.
June, July and August came and
went, and one day early In September
the battery was taken out for drill.
It had been at work for half an hour
; with evolutions when It suddenly wheel -
j ed into position, unllmbered and went
| Into action and the guns began to
boom. Of a sudden the men set up a
wild cheering. Captain, lieutenant and
first sergeants sat on their horses In
scowling wonder at such a breach of
discipline, but It was only a moment
before the puzzle was solved. Gallop
ing toward them down the sloping hill
side. with mane and tall flying In the
breeze and his heels In the air half the
time. Was Eureka. M. QUAD.
