SIWASH BALKS
AT CURRENCY
/
That bad Dews travels rapidly and |
that even Indians get an idea these
days of what is goiDg on in the world
through the newspapers was exempli
fied in Skagway yesterday. Ad Indian
who had been a witness before the local
court was paid with a check and went
into a Skagway business house to get it
cashed. The owner of the store offered
the Indian currency for the amouot of
the check, but the S: wash declined and
asked for gold, stating at the same
time that paper money was do longer
good. No told was at hand and the
merchant could not accommodate the
Iudian. However, in a half hour or so
theSiwaah returned and took the cur
rency, saying that he was satisfied
with the paper money and would take
it? he had heard of the clearing house
certificates litel.v and doubtless experi- 1
enced a Goldfield turn of mind.
NATURE SPARES
The Strlekcn Iloaic From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
!t Is. that deprives the rose of mental
lufferlng; for how poignant would be Its
^rlcf to discover. In tho height of Its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at Its
icart, and that Its beauty and fragranco
were doomed forever. Nature always
pares tho suffering; she Is a verltablo
itore-houso of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness liavo
oast a gloom over tho lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the In
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
tho hair follicles. Newbro's Herptctde
ibsolutely destroys this germ, thus
emitting' the hair to grow as na
?ro Intended. Sold by leading drug
