NELLIE SHEA IS
OIT OE COHITFST
Skagway, June 20 ? To the Editor ?
We wish yotf wou'd with draw the
name of Nellie Shea from the "Goddess
of Liberty" contest. In doing this it
must not be thought that we do not
appeciat- the honor that was given to
our daughter, but we think that she is
too young to be in a contest of that j
kind. There are plenty of eligible j
vour; lailies in Skagway, who would fit
the place much better than a child only
11 years of age.
Thanking most sincerely those who \
vottd for her, we beg to remain,
Mr. and Mrs. C. Shea, i

How to Break up a Cold
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To do this however, prompt action is
necessary. The first symptoms of a;
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse j
watery discharge from the nose, and a I
thin, "white coating on the tongue.
When Chamberlain's cough remed y is
taken every nour on the first appear
of these syraptons, it cojnteracts the
effect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to 4 hea'thy condition within a
day or two. Fov sale by W m. Britt,

The Satnn of the Greek*.
The Greek conception of the evil one.
whom they call Yama. makes that per
sonage one of the most satanic of the
whole evil tribe. According to theii
ideas of him. he Is 210 miles high and
the hairs on his body stand out like
palm trees on a mountain side. He
punishes the doomed being submitted
to his charge by putting them in beds
of boiling oil, sawing their bodies In
two. pouring molten lead in their ears
and such other little pranks as pullina
out their tongues, toe and finger nails
and gouging out their eyes, ne Is a
heartless old fiend of the most fiendish
kind and has many other exquisite lit
tle tortures laid up for the helpless
wretch consigned to his "chamber of
horrors."
The Cent In Not Small.
With the exception of the English
penny, the c&it is the largest minimum
unit of money in the civilized world.
Roughly speaking, our cent is worth 2
kopecks, 2 cents Mexican, Chinese and
East Indian, 2 atta or milllemes. It Is
two and a half times larger than the
cent of the Netherlands or the krentzer.
There are 4 pies. ore. or pfennige to the
cent or 5 banl, centesimi, lepta, heller,
peDnia, centimes or stotlnkl. A cent
Is worth 10 paras Turkish or 10 Japa
nese rln, 11 cash Chinese or 50 paras
Servian. What the trolley car con.
doctors of Servla say when tendered a
five cent fare In paras would probably
not be fit to print
UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
A Scene of Wondronn (irmidcar That
Awe* the Ilelioltler.
Ilammcrfcst, the most northern town
of Europe, is bleak and desolate, but
seen jy the witch light of the midnight
sun It touches the imagination umro
than many of the world's more favored
spots, writes Jean Murray In the Four
Track News. The traveler passing
through Norway dials himself constant
ly seeking for words that will express
his wonder and admiration, but when
at la jt he stands on the North cape In
the light of the midnight sun and looks
out over the awful solitude he no more
longs for word* to express what he
feels*, but standi ana gazes Into the
glorious northern light that glimmers
on the glittering waves of the arctic
sen, while thoughts too deep for words
well up In his soul He feels that after
tills hour he will have a greater rever
ence for this wonderful world where
in he is permitted to spend his little
span of life, and that If In future years
the touch of discouragement and dis
content falls upon him he will remem
ber tills moment when he stood on the
lonely heights of. the North cape look
ing out over the blue Arctic Into what
seemed the> shining dawn of eternity
and feel that It 1* well to have lived If
only for this.
I TWO TRADE SECRETS.
One la Jenlouwly Gunrded In China,
the Other In Turkey.
"There are tTo trade secrets," said
an artist, "that the outside world, It
seems, will never learn. One Is a Chi
nese secret? the making of the bright
and beautiful color called vermilion or
Chinese red. The other is a Turkish se
cret?the Inlawing of the hardest steel
with gold and silver.
"Among tho Chinese and among the
Syrians these two secrets are guarded
well. Apprentices,- before they are tak
en for either trade, must swear a
strong oath to reveal nothing of what
passes in the workshop. These appren
tices, furthermore, must belong to fam
ilies of standing, must pay a large sum
by way of premium and must furnish
certificates of good character and hon
esty.
"You have seen damascened steel, of
course, and you have seen vermilion
or Chinese red. Remember the nest
time you look at these two things that
their secrets have been guarded Invio
lably and have been liandet1 down
faithfully from one generation to an
other for thousands of years.? Chicago
Chronicle.
So Wedilltmr Party In Knitliinil Will
Pun* Over the Structure.
Standing in the center of Hn open j !
field at Hoxne, near Eye, in Suffolk, is |
an obelisk erected to the memory of j
King Edmund, who met his death there
at the hands of the Danes In 870. On
the site of the monument stood an oak
tree, in the branches of which the king
sought refuge from Ills foes. At night
fall he emerged from bts leafy hiding
place and secreted himself under a
bridge which spanned a stream called
the Goldbrook.
A wedding party, however,, passing
over the bridge In the evening, observed
the king's gold, spur glittering In the
moonlight, and In this way his retreat
became known to his enemies. He was ,
taken hack to the tree In which he had '
previonsiy hidden himself and shot
with arrows, and his body was after <
ward removed to Bury St. Edmunds
and interred in the monastery there.
On Goldbrook bridge is Inscribed a
record of the event. Local tradition
has It that many years ago the existing
Inscription was followed by the words,
"Cursed be the wedding party that
passes this bridge." No part of tills
anathema Is now visible, but the tradi
tion is so well known that a bridal 1
party will take a circuitous route rath- (
er than pass over the bridge.? London 1
