WOMAN
By Aloysius Coll.
The wind caught up the golden
word of God.
And hid it in a tiny drop of rain.
Which, like red wine, with rubies
gemmed in vain.
Disowned the gift, and spilled it
on a clod!
Out of that crumbling urn, a
seeded pod
Burst into life, wind-wandering
back again
To God's intent ? the breath
of ripening jjraln.
Of attared rose and sunny gold
en rod:
Then God took up the music of the
wind .
The laughing rain, the secret of
the clay.
The flowers as sweet as dreams
of Pagan Fan.
And giving them a heart and soul
and mind.
Deep as the night and merry as
the day.
He called them Eve ? and gave
them all to man!

VALDEZ ? \V. J. Bunger, a trans
fer man of Nome, reached Valdez re
cently after a sixty day trip from
Bering sea. He was one of the Nome
men who went to the early stampede
to the Iditarod, and returning to
Nome was a day too late to catch
the last boat for Seattle, so was forc
ed to come out over the ice.
Speaking of the Iditarod country,
Bunger says the new diggings are bet
ter at this time than Fairbanks was
at the time of the first stampede to
to the Tanana district. The report
that most of the pay is confined to
Otter creek is denied by Bunger, who
says Bunger & Ballenger at the head
of Wildcat claim, on Willow creek,
have good open cut pay. while ano
ther claim two miles below shows am
pie pay for working, in a series of
holes run across tho property 150 feet
apart. Holes on tho lower end of
Wildcat, uncover from 5 to 5 1-2
feet of pay with bed rock from 8 to
9 feet deep. This pay runs from 2
to 7 cents to the pan.
Prospects are good on Flat creek,
although tho prospect holes are not
down to bed rock owing to tho trou
ble with water. On Slate creek there
is some pay and the ground is very
shallow ? from 5 to 6 feet to bed |
rock. It yields wages.
The best pan he saw on Otter was
from 1 above discovery, $5. and he
was told that a $16 pan had been
found on tills claim.
Bacon and other meats, butter and
syrup are very scarce in the camp. 1
Condensed milk and tobacco are plenti
ful. Prices for all provisions are
high.
CN THE WITNESS STAND.
The Right of a Witness to Qualify Hi*
Answers.
Like Stevenson's child, as a rule, the
witness shoiffd Npt'uk only when tie is
spoken to He should Dot volunteer
atiytliiug except that wben be is asked
a question which with apparent lnno
eeuce could really l>e answered "Yes"
or "No" he has a right to qualify a
plain "Yes" or "No." This of course
happens most often in the ease of ex
perts. The "Yes. but I will explain,"
and "No. but I will explain," of one of
the distinguished expert witnesses for
the common wealth in the case of com
monwealth versus Quay, which was
tried before Judge Blddle in the court
of quarter sessions of Philadelphia
county several years ago still linger In
the writer's memory.
It Is a mistaken uotion that a wit
ness Is bound to answer "Yes" or "No."
It is surprising that such should have
ever been the received theory, but then
the hunting down of witches and the
expounding of the doctrine of witch
craft wore regarded as proper judicial
functions only a century or two ago.
The theory as to categorical reply was
completely exploded by the gentleman
who propounded tile question, "When
are you going to stop heating your
wife?" and demanded a categorical an
swer. If the lawyer attempts to tell
you that you must answer "Yes" or
"No" you have the right to 'say that
the question is one which Is not sus
ceptible of a categorical answer. This
should tloor counsel for the moment.
Mannerly behavior on the part of
witnesses Includes keeping one's tem
per under almost all provocations.
Cross examination for the purpose of
testing your memory Is not intended
to be and should not be regarded as
insulting. It should therefore not be
resented. If the cross examination
transcends all bounds and your pa
tience Is exhausted a sharp retort will
not necessarily Injure your testimony
with the Jury. The Jury sympathizes
with the witness more than with the
lawyer, and, while mere smartness for
the sake of being unart or because of
a too expansive personality Is to be de
plored, you will be sure of a sympa
thetic audience if you are In the right
and counsel In the wrong.? Ira Jewell
Williams In Green Itag.
UNDER AN UMBRELLA.
An Expensive Adventure of a Famous
Parisian Wit.
Itomicu. tlu.' famous Parisian wit,
was one day caught in a shower and
forced to seek refuse In a doorway of
tin- opera house. It was 0 o'clock al
ready, and he had an engagement In
the Cafe de Paris for that very hour.
The rain fell in torrents. There was
no carriage to be had. lie hud no um
brella. What was to be done? While
he was lamcutldg his bad luck a gen
tleman with a lar,r0 umbrella passed
by. Romlcu was s ized with a sudden
Inspiration. He ruilied out and grasp
ed the stranger* by the arm and grave
ly installed .hliuqelf under the protect
ing umbrella.
'?l am overjoyed to see you," he im
mediately began. "I have been look
ing for you for two weeks. 1 wanted
to tell you about Clementine."
Without giving the stranger time to
express' iiis surprise Uomieu rattled
away with gossip and anecdote until
he had led the unknown companion to
the door of the Cafe de Paris. Then
he glanced at him with a face of well
feigned astonishmt ut.
"Pardon, monsieur!" he cried. "It
seems I uui mistaken."
"I believe so.", said the stranger.
"Good gracious!" added Itomicu.
"Re discreet. Don't repeat what 1
have told you."
"I promise you;"
"A thousand pardons!"
Uomieu hastened within the cafe
and amid great Idughter. told the ad
venture to his friends. .Suddenly oue
of them said:
"Your cravat is rumpled."
Romlou put his baud to his neck and
turned pale. Ills pin. a valuable sap
phire, was goije. .On further examina
tion his purse and watch were fouud
to be gone. The man with the um

A Philadelphia clergyman tells of
an Incident in connection with bis
first visit to a town in Pennsylvania,
where he expected to be called as pas
tor.
While tramping along a dusty road
he was so fortunate as to encounter a
man In a wagon who gave him a
lift. During the conversation that
ensued bet ween the two the divine
changed to ask:
"Do the folks hereabout enjoy reli
gion?"
"I don't know exactly." replied his
companion, "but I s'pose that them
that has It enjoys It."

MRK THAT TELLS
The Ki/id Alaskan Readers Appre
ciate.
Cures that last are cures that toll.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove perma
nent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
here in this locality. People who test
ifled years ago to relief from backache
kidney and urinary disorders, now de
clare that relief was permanent and
tho cure perfect. Can any Alaskan
sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
J. Prenatt, 311 Third Avo., N., Se
attle, Wash., says; "The relief I re
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills over
three years ago, has been permanent
and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm
the public statement 1 gave in favor
of the remedy at that time. For two
years I had attacks of backache and
my kidneys were so weak that the
least cold I contracted settled in them
making my condition worse. Doan's
Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the
pains in my back and regulated the
passages of the kidney secretions. A
the present time there Is not a symp
tom of my former trouble remaining.
1 advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
