Paper Thinks Jan^au Shoald
And M*y Contribute
(Juneau Record-Miner)
Ketchikan, Hadley and the other
towns in the extreme southeastern part
of Alaska h?ve raised a considerable
f~ sum of m?ney to defray Delegate
^ Swineford's expenses to Washington,
and without doubt will reap the benefit
of their interest in legislation which
will be the most beneficial to their sec
> lion of Alaska.
Juneau has neglected her duty in this
natter thus far, but, late as it is, may
yet do the right thing by raising enough
money to at least show our good will
and that we will appreciate the ex
governor's future efforts in our behalf.
This is a matter which we have men
tioned editorially a number of times,
aud do so upon our conviction as to
what is rght and best for the city of
??- Juneau and vicinity.
lonoTerm
Court Will Confine at Jane
au Uutil April
'? According to information received
t from Juneau on the Georgia court will
I remain in session at Juneau until April
1st. The same authority for this state
ment says the usunl spring term of
the court at Ketchikan will be dis
pensed with.
The business at Juneau is developing,
so it is said, more than was expected
and it wiil require tbree months more
of the court's time to cloan the docket.
Court will convene at SKagway next
June.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate ? Per
son's Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
la not devoid of character: far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes baldness.
Prof. Sabouraud. of Paris, France, ln
ncccuiated a rabbit with Dandruff germs,
causing it to become totally bald In Ave
weeks' time. To rid the scalp of these
dangerous germs It Is necessary to apply
Newbro's Herpiclde.

(Original.)
burins the hitter part of the elght
",:rli century two young men, Joan
'ismouiins and Alphonse Caterct, both
..viajt in Dijon. Franco, were bosom
"ricuJs. Caterct proposed marriage to
ii grl, Louise Plancon, but bis
< iit v,a3 rejected. Louise secretly
>veJ his frieaJ Desmoulins, and .n the
course of time Desmoulins married tier.

ise thought it best not to tell him that
Alphonse had once sought her hand,
nnd stnee Alphonse never told him he
\va3 :u Ignorance of the fact
Tea ye.irs passed. Cateret had gone
to l'aris to live soon after hls-frlend's
marriage, the Dcsinoullnses following
later. I'.oth men became, leaders in the
revolution which was sweeping over
France like a cyclone. One evening
Desiuoulins came across the Seine by
the bridge directly opposite the corps
ieglslatif and walked toward the Place
de la Concorde, or Place de la Revolu
tion, as it was then called. At the
same time Cateret turned Into the
place from the opposite direction. The
two men met at that point where tho
guillotine was set up and where it hnd
done a great work that very day. Night
was falling, and the Place was desert
ed except for the friends. They stop
ped directly under the Instrument of
death and began to talk.
"Alphonse," said Jean, "this revolu
tion Is like a tongue of flame which at
one moment sweeps In one direction,
the next In another. The favorite of
today Is the condemned of tomorrow.
"You are right, Jean. Do you know
that if either of us has an enemy that
enemy can send the man he hates to
the guillotine."
"I don't like It." replied Jean. "If I
were single like you, I would not mind
the danger so much, but I consider my
family."
Cateret stood for awhile lost in
thought, then said: "I have an idea.
Suppose we make an agreement. If
you are the victim, I will pay your
wife 50,000 francs; If I am the victim,
you pay my mother the same amount."
After some discussion Desmoulins
consented, and the friends went to
Cateret's house, where the contract
was drawn ujr In duplicate, duly exe
cuted. and each party to it took a copy.
Ten days after this agreement Des
moulius was arrested under an accusa
tion of having corresponded with the
royalists across the border. He had
received a letter from a fugitive, but
no one knew of It except his friend
Cateret. to whom he had shown it.
Put there was nothing In this, for the
letter, bearing a foreign mark, must
have been opened in the postofflce.
Louise Desmoulins was frantic at the
clanger that threatened her husband.
A3 soon as she became quieted she set
her wits to work to discover who the
secret enemy could be. At a confer
ence she had with her husband In jail
he told her that Cateret kuew of the
letter he had received from abroad.
Louise, remembering that Cateret had
ouce sought her band In marriage, was
seized with a suspicion which she final
ly confessed to her husband.
"N'onsensel" said Jean. "There can
be nothing lu that, since at my death
Alphonse must pay you 50,000 francs."
And be told her of their agreement.
She was but half convinced.
Jean Desmoulins died on the scaffold
beside which the agreement had been
made. Ills wife shut herself up. After
a few weeks she received one visitor,
her husband's old friend, Alphonse
Cateret. Ilim she saw constantly and
but a few months after her husband's
execution promised him that she would
be his wife. Meanwhile she frequented
the courts and places wherein she
might learn the name of her husband's
accuser. After awhile she became
known as the widow who was hunting
for one to send to the guillotine. One
day she received a visit from one of
the leaders of the revolution, who said
to her:
"I know who Informed on your hus
band. He is In my way, and I wish to
get rid of him. I will tell yon who he
Is on condition that you trump up an
accusation against him, leaving me out
of the matter. You will not believe me
without proof. That proof I will fur
nish."
"It Is proof alone that I wish. I
know the man."
"How do you know him?"
"By the Instinct of a woman."
"He Is"?
'"A'phonse Cateret."
"You are right."
The visitor the next day met the
widow In a building where records
were kept and, being in authority, took
her to a room where no other man in
France except the keeper could go. He
took down a volume which contained a
record of more villainy than any vol
ume in the world and, consulting an
index, turned to the name of Jean Des
moulins. There was the charge and
the name of the accuser, Alphonse Ca
teret. Louise looked at it apparently
without emotion; her guide closed the
book, and they withdrew.
The friends of Louise Desmoulins
were shocked a few months after her
husband's death to learn that she was
to marry Alphonse Cateret and the
wedding day was set. Cateret, who did
not know what moment the tide might
turn against him, was secretly prepar
ing to leave France with his bride. A
week before the wedding was to come
off the revolutionary committee got
hold of his intended flight, he was ar
rested, and on the very day he was to
hi>ve been married he died on the guil
lotine in the Place de la Revolution.
la the book in which his case was
recorded appeared the name of LonlM
Desmoulins, informer.

TERRIBLE ECZEMA
ON LITTLE BOY
Mouth and Eyes Covered With
Crusts? Face Itched Most Fear

MIRACULOUS CURE
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
" When my little boy w*s six month* old, h?
had eczema. The sores extended so auickly
over the whole body that we *t once called in
the doctor, we uu:u
went to another doctor,
but he could not help
him, and in our despair
we went to a third one.
Matters became io bad
that he had regular
holes in his cheeks,
large enough to put a
finger into. The food
had to be given with a
spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts
as thick as a finger, and
whenever he opened the
mouth they began to
bleed and suppurate, as
did also hit eyes.
Hands, arms, chest, and
back, in short the whole
body, was covered over
and over. We had no
rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid
in his bed, we had to
pin his hands down :
n?.? otherwise he wouia

make an open sore. I think his face muse
have itchea most fearfully.
" We finally thought nothing could help,
and I had made up my mind to send my wife
with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea
air might cure him, otherwise ne was to be
put under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differently,
and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours
spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with
Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and
within ten days or two weeks we noticed a :
decided improvement. Just as quickly as the I
sickness had appeared it also began to dis- ;
appear, and within ten weeks the child wa9
absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and 1
white as never before." F. Hohrath, President
