FEATURES OF AMERICAN TRADE.
Alaska cost the United States $T,
-00,000 when it was purchased from
Russia. There was a loud outcry at
the time against the expenditure for
the "rocks and ice" o? a useless
land. Everybody now knows how
rich a return has come frjni the In
vestment. For further illustration
the fiscal year to end in June next,
show a net value of the native gold
shipped from that territory amount
ins to $16,730,000, this being more
than double the original purchase
price.
In the same eight months merchan
d'se sent from the United States to
Alaska had a value of J'.MilO.OOO.
The cargoes in the other direction
were valued at $12,165,000. The "non
contiguous territories" is the rather
clumsy expression by which Alaska
Hawaii. Porto Rico. Guam, the Phil
ll'pines, and a few smaller holdings
In the Pacific are d. -signaled. Many
citizens have not the slightest ap
preciation of what they mean, com
mercially considered. The Depart
ment of Commerce and I.abor gives
figures to show that the trade be
tween them and continental United
Suites for the current year will ag
gregate $1. ">0.000.000. Ten years ago
the total w-.is $70,000,000.
In eight months merchandise val
ued at $11. .*>00.000 has been sent to
the Hawaiian Islands and $22,700.00')
has been returned. To Porto Rico
$l?.rtO0,000 worth of merchandise has
gone and from it $11,000,000 has come
For the Philippines the outgoing and
incoming shipments have represented
about $7,000,000 each, the balance be
ing slightly in favor of the islands.
In a general way the trend is to
ward a steady increase in the volume
of outgoing trade. Tp double trade
relationship within ton years is per
haps not as encouraging as some
might have hoped. Hut the figures
for the last eight months give some
idea of the sreat possibilities connec
ts! with the proper development of
commerce along these lines. ? The

THE YELLOW LEAF
When old ago has seamed your
cheek, and your joints begin to
itvak, and your teeth are made of
asphalt or cement; when your poor
old back is sailed, and your dome of
thought is bald. ;ind you cannot
climb a stair way worth a cent, then
you like to sit and tell of the time
when all was well, when the world
and you were young and all serene;
and you make it p.'etty plain that for
speed and brawn and brain, such a
wondrous chap as you was never
seen! Oh, these spindling modern
lads never will be like their dads,
who were Samsons and Goliaths in
their youth: so in sentimental strain
you recall the past again, and bring
teardrops from the starry eyes of
Truth. When beneath the sun or moo
you are prone to sit and croon of
the triumphs of your boyhood, you
may know, that you're waxing old I
and sere, and your tales of yesteryear!
were related by your grandsires long
ago! . ? Walt Mason.

April, dainty lady.
.Lightly come* a-trlpplng;
Lanes grow green and shady;
Bees are blossoms tipping;
Tulips flaunt their banners
Gold and scarlet, burning;
Jonquils make their manners.
Glad that spring's returning.
April, tearful maiden.
Softly sobs her sorrow.
Eyes are heavy laden.
Sullen seems the morrow.
Bursts the sun out brightly?
Gone are clouds and showers.

FIFTEEN YEARS IF
Rheumatism Developed Burning,
Painful Sores on Legs? Tortured
Day and Night? Tried All Kinds
of Remedies to No Avail? Wife
Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTICURA
AND ARE WELL AGAIN
"My husband had been a great suf
ferer with rheumatism for nearly liftivn
years. A' first it was in his bones, but
after a while -it was in th<< flesh ami
finallv running sores broke out on his
lees, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. Ho used every
kind of remedy ami three physicians
treated him. one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. So
one day 1 happened to read about
Cutieura Remedies. I asked him if
he would not try them. 'No.' said he,
'it's no use, I've s|>ent enough money
now.' The next day I ordered flvo
dollars' worth of Cutieura Soap, Cuti
eura Ointment, and Cutieura Resolvent.
He began to us? them without confi
dence but after three wtvks all the
eorvs were dried up. The burning
fire stopped, and the pains liecamo
bearable. After three months he was
quite well. Two years later the pains
anil son's came back after lie had l?vn
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cutieura again
It cured him. Two years ago I used
Cutieura Pills for general debility. They
did me a great deal of good and made
me well. Three months since I had pains
in my back and Cutieura took them
away! too. I can Prove this testi
monial at anv time. Sirs. V. V. Allx-rt,
Upper French ville. Me., July 21, 1907."
