NATIVE BA1D IS G01I16 HERE
The Sitka Cottage Band is contem
plating a concert tour and expect to
visit Skagway. Haines, Douglas and
Juneau, giving a concert In each
place.
This band Is composed entirely of
natives and has been brought to a
and lead a civilized life. The village
has streets aud sidewalks and the
houses occupied by the natives nre
modern and furnished comfortably.
The men work at all kinds of skil
led labor. Some of them are boat
builders, shoe makers, engineers,
SITKA'S NATIVE BAND.
The Crack Musical Organization of Indians Who Will Appear in Skagway
great degree of efficiency under the:
leadership of John Wlllard, a native
graduate of the Sitka Training school.
The Cottage natives aro those grad
uates crT the Sitka Training school
who make their homes in Sitka aiul
reside in a portion of the
reservation adjoining the school
where they own their own homes
store clerks and carpenters.
The Sitka Cottage Band will com
pare favorably with the average am
iiteur white men's band aud they
play with expression, giving the in
terpretation as indicated by the coin
poser. Their instruments are the
very best and The Alaskan has no
hesitancy In stating It is a treat to
he?r the native musicians.
Peculiar Superstitions.
The people of Kulu are extremeiy
superstitious anil go iu extensively for
demonolntry. Mauy trees are lu-ld to
be sacred aud have tluy temples dedi
cated to them. The demons are popu
larly supposed to live at the tops of
trees, and If a tree falls in such a way
that It Is possible to pass under it, as
Is ofteu the case on the mountain sides,
every man before going beneath the
trunk will since 011 it a stick or stoue
to propitiate its guardian spirit. Cer
tain streams are also sacred, and no
one is allowed to wash dirty clothes
in them. Oue year some strangers
came Into the valley and happened to
pollute the water of a river in this
manner. It chanced to be a year of
extraordinary rainfall, and the peo
ple implicitly believe that the ex
cessive ralu was sent by the outraged
"deota" of the stream as punishment.

Helping Hubby Out.
"Your wife seems to be wonderfully
interested lu your business. Must be
a source of great satisfaction to you."
"Yes, Indeed. Do you know I used
to think she cared uothing about it."
"Why the change?"
"I don't know. That's the funny
part of it. I can't Imagine what has
changed her. A few nights ago I
went home, tired most to death, aud
during the evening 1 casually remark
ed. 'Iole, my business Is getting most
too much for me to handle. I am
thinking of employing a uice, steady
stenographer and typewriter. Don't
you think it would be a good Idea?'
From that moment the good little wo
man has beeu extremely anxious to
assist me aud make my lot easier in
every wuy% I suppose It's her natural
ly sympathetic nature. It must be."?

A Brilliant Judge.
Steady Baker was at one time mayor
of Folkestone, England. Once a boy
was brought before him for stealing
| gooseberries, and Steady, aware of the
importance of the case, turned over
the pages of the alphabetically arrang
ed "Burn's Justice" for a precedent.
Failing to tlud one, he turned to the
culprit. "My lad." said he, "it's lucky
for you that you were not brought here
for stealiuga goose instead of for steal
ing gooseberries. There is a statute
against stealing geese, but I can't And
anything about gooseberries in all
| 'Bucn,' so let the prisouer be discharg
ed, for I suppose it is ro offense."
The Way Down.
They had been making hay while
the sun shone, and when they had
finished a high haystack the farmer's
boy shouted from the top, "Say, mis
ter, how am 1 goln' to get down?"
The farmer considered the problem
and finally solved It:
"Oh, jest shet yer eyes an' walk
; pound a bit!"? Everybody's.

Relative Strength of Arms.
As a result of some very Interesting j
experiments made at Washington with
a view to determine the relative i
strength of right aud left limbs It has i
been ascertained that over 50 per cent
of the men examined bad the right
arm stronger than the left, 10.40 per j
cent hud the arms of equal length
and strength, and 32.70 per cent had
the left arm stronger than the right.
Of women 40.90 per cent bad the right
arm stronger than the left, and 24.50
per cent had the left strouger than the
right. In order to arrive at the aver
age length of limbs flfty skeletons
were measured, twenty-five of each
sex. Of these twenty-three had the
right arm and left leg longer, six the
left arm and right leg, while In seven
teen cases all the members were more
or less equal In length.? Exchange.

Limbs Bslow the Knees Were Raw
?Feet Too Swollen to Get Shoes
On? Sleep Completely Broken
by Intense Itching and Burning
Well in Two Days and Says That
CUTICURA IS AMONG
HIS HOUSEHOLD GODS
"God bles* the man who first com
pounded Cuticura. Some two months
ago 1 had a humor break out on my
limbs below my knees*. They came to
look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no
ono knows how thoy itched and burned.
They were so swollen that I had to
split my drawers open to get them on
and <x)uld not get hit shoes on for a
week or more. 1 used five or six dif
ferent remedies and got no help, only
when applying them the burning was
worse and the itching less. One morning
I remembered that I had a bit of Cuti
cura and tried ,it. From tho moment
it touched me tlio itching was gone and
I have not felt a bit of it since. Tho
swelling wentdown and in twodays I had
ray shore on and was about as usual.
I only wish I had used tho Cuticura
Remedies in the first of my troubles.
They would have saved mo two or
thne weeks of intenso suffering. Dur
ing that time 1 did not sleep an hour at
a time, but was up applying such
remedies as I had. Henceforth the
Cuticura Itemedies will bo among my
household gods, rest assured. Georra

After Teadlng tho public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can bo relied upon to
porform the same work In other cas
es. Read this:
K. C. Fonton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "1 gave a state
mont for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and 1 am now pleased to
confirm all 1 then said in their favor.
1 was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on onu occasion 1 was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
