" See the automobile run.
And the fellow wi.o Is steering
Doesn't have a thins hut fun.
Hail and thunder! Fire and brlmston*!
And some other words the cop
Has forbidden, but como handy.
See the automobile stop!
When It's running It Is running.
There Is no discount on that.
When It's standing It Is standings
You can bet your Sunday hat
All tho coaxing and abusing
And tho turning little screens
Cannot get the thing in action
When It feels It must refuse.
It may run along all summer.
Never hinting at a balk.
As the owner keeps on bragging
That he doesn't have to walk.
All at once and without warning
In a road that's deep with sand.
Far from home and the repair shop.
It concludes that It will stand.
When the car Is smoothly spinning
And tho road ahead Is straight
Then the Joy of auto riding
May be spoke>n of as great.
But It's no Ideal pleasure.
No compeller of a smile.
When the engine takes a notion
It will stand round for awhile.
Keeps One Guessing.
"Any one can set? right through a j

"I should say so The average tnan
is transparent as a piece of glass."
"But with woman it is different."
"Yes. quite different. Why, In these ;
days of the perfection of art it takes
a mighty good man to be able to
see. even through her complexion."
Getting Even.
"The way he abused the office boy
was a perfect shame. What is the
matter with him this morniug?"
"Ilis wife crossed him before he left
borne, his daughter told him where he
got off. and after coming down the
stenographer sat down on him. He
had to g<>t Ktek at some one."
Kicked Out.
"Don't you like

"I don't."
"Why?"
"He's too de

"How is that?"

A Woman Finds All Her Energy And ,
Ambition Slipping Away.
Alaskan women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life a burden. Back j
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy j
spells, distressing urinary troubles, al
tell of sick kidneys and warn yon of '
the stealthy approach of dropsy or i
Itricht's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
are for the kidneys only. They at
tack kidney diseases by striking at'
the cause.
Can Alaskan sufferers desire stron
er proof than this woman's word?
Mrs. Henry Rankos, 502 Vancouver
Ave., Portland, Ore., says: "It gives
me pleasure to confirm my former
public endorsement of Doan's Kidney
1111s given in October, 1907. At that
time 1 said that a member of my fam
ily was troubled by attacks of back
ache which prevented stooping or
lifting. l>oan's Kidney IMHs disposed
of the trouble in a short time. Since
then I have taken this remedy for
weakness and pain across my kidneys
and it' has greatly benefitted me."

NEW ALASKAN
REPORT ISSUED
West of Koyukuk and Yukon riv
ers in Alaska a large area has long
remained geologically unexplored. In;
a portion of this region an explora
tion party from the United States
Geological Survey worked during the
season of 1909, and the results of
the studies there carried on and ex
tended as far as Council, in, Seward
Peninsula, are set forth in Bulletin
Xo. 449 just issued by the survey.
The party composed of Philip S.
Smith and H. M. Eakln, geologists
of the Survey* and authors of the re- '
port, A. G. Winegarden, packer and
cook. Supplies for a month were !
shipped to Nulato, the point from
which the expedition set out and
other supplies, sufficient to last tho
rest of the season, were sent to Nom
and then transported to the mouth of
the Koyuk and there cached to await
the arrival of the party.
The area traversed by this party
was selected for survey because it
was thought that the metamorphic
rocks of the Seward Peninsula might
occur within it, which would give
presumption of the presence of gold
deposits.
In addition to exploring the region
east of Norton Bay the party carried
the topographic and geologic mapping
into the southeastern part of the Se
ward Peninsula, thus extending the
areas mapped by the Geological Sur
vey in earlier years.
The report Is a volume of 140 page9
describing the topography and geology
of the area and containing notes on
its climate, vegetation, game and fish.
Some 40 pages are uevoted to the
mineral resources ? placer and lode
gold deposits and prospects, and sil
ver. lead, copper and coal. It is il
lustrated with photographs and brief
sketch maps and contains also a top
ographic reconnaisance map of south
eastern Seward Peninsula, on the
scale of 4 miles to the inch, a colored
geologic map of the same area, and a
colored geologic map of Nulato-Nor
ton Bay region, on a scale of 8 miles
to the inch. Bulletin 449 may be ob
taines on application to the Director
of the United States Geological Sur- j
vey, NVpashington, D. C.
Or. Johnson and Fruit.
The return of the strawberry season
?was always heartily welcomed by Dr.
Johnson, for, as he once declared, of
strawberries and cream be never could
have too much. Fortunately be some
times had opportunity to indulge his
taste to the full, for hla friend. Dr.
Taylor of Lichfleld. whom he con
trived when possible to visit at straw
berry time, was rather a noted fruiit
grower, and when at his bouse It was,
as Johnson said, with gusto, "Straw
berries and cream, toujours strawber
ries and cream!'' A voracious eater at
any time. Johnson's appetite for fruit
was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale
tells us that he used often to ent half
a dozen peaches before breakfast, and
then frequently she had beard him
onmnlnin thnt never In all his life had
he quite ns much "Vail ffult as He de
sired, Have once. The exceptional oc
casion was during a visit to Lord San

The Light of Crystal*.
All diamonds do not shine In the
dark after exposure to sunlight or elee
trie light, but some do to a remarkable
degree. A diamond rubbed with a
woolen cloth or against a bard sur
face will sometimes shine brilliantly.
The emisslou of light Is a property be
longing to many if not all kinds of
crystals.
. A variety of white marble found at
Hastlngs-on the-Hudson, N. Y., gives
out a flame colored glow when pouud
ed and bright flashes when scratched
with steel. In northern New York Is
found a kind of stone known locally
as "hell fire rock." which exhibits
' bright sulphur colored streaks when
! scratched In the dark. Pieces of rose
qnartz rubbed together exhibit bril
liant flashes. sometimes bright enough

other varieties sometimes show a slm

There was an old couple in the vil
lage whom 1 used often to go to see.
One day when I found them sitting,
one on each side of the Are. the old
man said to me:
"Well, t'missls and me. we've been
married nigh on fifty years, and we've
never had one quarrel."
The old woman looked at me with
a twinkle in her eye and said:
"It war varle conscientious, but varle
dool."
The Bloody Hand.
The noted English family of the
Qoltes Las for Its badge a bloody band,
and this sinister badge commemorates
a wager that ended in a crime. Sir
Thomas Holte one day in 1C12 was
hunting. He invited his comrades
home with him to dinner, and as he
rode along he made a heavy bet on his
cook's punctuality. But the cook fail
ed him for oncp. When he got home
dinner wan not ready. The Jeers of
his companions at this failure, together
with his huge loss in the matter of the
wnger, enraged him so that he ran into
the kitchen, seized a cleaver and split
the cook's head open with it After
ward bis family, to keep this crime
alive, adopted for its^rest the bloody
hand of the cook killer.
An Eskimo's Dwelling.
We do not look for any great amount
of Inventive genlns among the Eski
mos, but for years they have employed
a rather complete respirator, used In
the preparation and taking of a vapor
bath, as a means of protection from
the dense smoke. This Eskimo respi
rator Is a little basket woven of twist
ed strands of fine grass. It is placed
with Its shallow side against the
mouth, and a wooden peg, which
arises from the center of the basket,
is held between the teeth. For tbia
purpose water is evaporated over a
big lire in a very low but, which Is
