A WORD AS TO KNOCKERS.
We used to think It our duty to
get out our hammer and commence i
to batter away every time some felloe
we did not happen to like scored a
touchdown. But we have quit It.
We have found out that the commun
ity is generally on the side of the wit>
ner. We have done lots of knocking
In our time but we don't recall that
any of it laid up any dollars In the
bank for us. You will notice that the
fellow who keeps his mouth shut and
saws wood is generally the winner
at the end of the race. Every town
has its hammer brigade. Take an in
ventory of the knockers in it and you
will find that they are generally pret
ty small potatoes and few in a hill.
We know of a thousand friends we
have lost by our senseless knocking,
but we can't recall ten we made by
It. We used to want to buckle on
our sword and rush into battle every
time some fellow we imagined was
our friend had a grievance. During
the heat of battle we would look
across on the side lines and there we
would see this friend fixing up a
truce with his enemy, and we were
selling our strength for a mess of
pottage. Friends, our hammers will
pay us the biggest dividends when
we keep them at home locked up in
the barn. ? Edmonds Tribune.
HARRY THAW.
I'm sorry for Harry, so woefully
tried! The sweet boon of freedom
to him is denied; in gloomy asylums
he's destined to dwell, to eat in a
dungeon and sleep in a cell; remov
ed from the world, with its clamor
and strife, to mix with the flotsam
end jetsam of life. I haven't the gall
or I haven't the guile, to ask this
poor fellow to Cheer l*p and Smile:
HER FEET WERE
SOREAND CRACKED
Soles Seemed as Though Covered
with Knife Cuts? Could Not Bear
Weight of Feet Even on Pillow ?
Was Long Unable to Walk? Many
Remedies Failed ? Now Cured.
WILL PRAISE CUTICURA
AS LONG AS SHE LIVES
"Some four years ago I had the mis
fortune to have my feet get sore. The
doctor* couid not tell me what it was.
I ukxI everything I could hear or think
of out *11 to no avail. The feet were
*11 crack fd across the bottom as if you
had token a knife and cut them every
whichway. Tliey would peel up. ana
oh. my I how they did nurt when I
would try to walk ? which 1 was not
able to do for a long time. One day
one of our neighbors came to our house
and aaked what was the matter. I
showed him my feet and he said he had
some Cuticura Ointment which would
be*l them up. There was only enough
to apply once, but I found it helped
me so much that 1 sent for a set of
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and
to my great joy. my fret were cured
and nave never troubled me since. I
shall praise Cuticura as long as I live
for the great help it has been. Mrs.
Margaret Primmer, Plattin, Mo., June
SO and July 21, 1907."

It was a wise inovo on the part of
Delegate Wtckersham to have all the
newspapers and the .Mayors of the Al
askan cities join in a cabled request
to President Taft, asking that Alaska
be granted a territorial legislature.
