There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to bo a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional euro on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and liiucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
fror*. the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
proach of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
manently.
Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived groat benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doau's
Kidney Pill? now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

[Copyright. 130S. by T. C. McClure.]
Ono Juno tiny a tin peddler came :
alone to tlie farmhouse of Joe Plncbly
and halted for a drink of water. Ilo
didn't stop because lie had any Idea
that lie could sell as much as a nutmeg
prater. The house was a frame, un
tainted, weather beaten and gloomy,
while the ham and sheds were of logs,
the fences gone to decay, the fields !
grown up t<> weeds, and the whole out
tit spoke of poverty and shlftlessness. j
Years before the house had been built
for a roadside inn. but travel had been
diverted to another road, and its own
er had abandoned the place. Shiftless
.loe rinchl.v had come along with his
slatternly wife and "squatted" there
and raised just enough corn and tur
nips to keep going. They were sitting
on the rotting veranda smoking as the
peddler drove up.
-If you had any sumption about you.
you could make $1.1XK) out of this
place this summer." he said.
"I've broke my back here for four
years and almost starved to death," re
plied .loe.
??Hut you lack gumption, you see.
Gumption means knowing how to lot
up on farming and take hold of some
thing better when it's right at your
door. Lord. man. but what a chance
you have n'.lsred!"
"I've alius told .loo there was money
bjricd somewhere around here," ol>- |
served Mrs. rinchly as she removed
her pipe from her mouth.
"Buried money be hanged! Its right
011 top of the ground. It's right before
your eyes. It's in the house. - It's ly
ing around loose and waiting to be
picked up. If you'd bad gumption
you'd be riding in your own carriage
today. You didn't have It. You had
to wait until I came along to show
you where the money is."
"And you'll show usl" exclaimed
husband and wife in chorus as they |
rose up and looked around.
"That's to be seen. First 1 waut
to look this old house over. 1 want to
see every room in it. Then 1 want to
have a square talk with you. You are
sick of staying here, stud 1 am slek of
tin peddling? not but v.hat It's a noble
profession, but it doesn't furnish the
: opportunities for a hustling man."
I There was a talk lasting for two
I hours. The petldler drew up a paper,
and the three signed it. When he de
! parted Joe rinchly and wife were feel
I ing quite balmy. They hadn't found
any money, but they were nodding
their heads at each other and grinning.
I There was a village five miles to the
least of them and another six miles to
i the west, and in both of them weekly
j newspapers were published. Before
I night next day the peddler had inter
I viewed the editors. The editors had
a hair raising story of a haunted house.
There were a score of other papers in
the county. The peddler didn't stop
until he had called upon half of them,
lie also stopped travelers on the high
way and talked, and he talked to peo
ple in villages, and inside of two weeks
10, 000 people had heard the news that
Joe Plnchly's old farmhouse was
; haunted. The reports were awesome
j and grewsome and hair raising,
i People are never satisfied to simply
talk about a haunted house if within
reaching distance of it. The peddler
had provided for their coming. He had
sunk his cash capital In buying pro
visions. When the rush set in he was
there to welcome it. All Pinchly and
his wife had to do was to shake their
heads and look mysterious sind sell
pies aud sandwiches to hungry sight
| seers. Boiled eggs and hot tea and cof
| fee could also be had at a price. There
j were twenty different rooms and a cel
I hir and garret to the old house, and
I the charge for taking a visitor through
I them all was 30 cents. They were tak
: en in groups of six at a time. If they
! merely desired to see the family bed
room. where a score of mysterious
| noises had been heard at night, togeth
I er with the room where the peddler
had been hauled out of bed by a ghost,
it was only 23 cents. The nignt noises,
as the peddler stated and the Pinchlys
affirmed by nods of the head, consist
ed of groans, sighs, footfalls, tappings,
whisperings and a large and well se
lected stock of other hair raisers.
! In one week 200 people came in wag
ons. Some brought their food, and
some bought it. They camped about
the house and paid their money to be
conducted over it and then drove away
to send others. During the second
week they began to come by rail and
were driven over from the village. The
fare was each. The peddler had
seen to that; also to his divvy. Some
of those who wished to remain all
J night and watch, the outside of the
house paid a quarter apiece for a bed
ou the hay iu the burn and bought sup
per ftnc! breakfast. Those who wished
to pass the night In rooms In groups of
three sat on the tloor In the darkness
and paid 50 cents apiece for the privi
lege. They heard ghostly noises and
got their money's worth. Next morn
ing they paid a whooping big price for
boiled eggs, coffee and sandwiches.
It is a matter of fact and history
that the excitement was maintained
for a long eight weeks and that scores
of people came at least a hundred miles
to see for themselves. Then there was
a let-up, and the peddler and the
Pinchlys showed their wisdom. They
left the old house one night in a thun
derstorm when the ghosts were play
ing tag through all the rooms and the
slghers and groaners were sighing and
groaning their loudest, and no one
around there ever heard of them again.
Some folks said they carried away
$2,000 in the long green. Even if they
raked In half that sum it was better i
than peddling or farming among the
dead stumps. M. QUAD.
