Arrangements have been completed
by John E. Ballain, whereby a smelter
Is to be built at Seward at a cost of
about $350,000, says a Seattle despatch.
This plan has been In process of ma
turing for several months.

Plans for the erection near Valdez
of a concentrating plant large enough to
reduce all the ores of Prince William
sound have so far "progressed that a
tract of Und and a water right cf at
le*?t 8,000 horse power at the lowest
winter stjge have been acquired c'oae
to the town and heavy subscriptions
made to the capital of the proposed
company. Tne low price of copper,
which Is believed to be arbitrarily fixed
by the smelter trust, the excessive
charges f.r smelting ores in the raw
state, and the cost of transports g the
crude ores are all factors Id this pro
ject to handle the ores of sound mines
at a minimum cost.

( Concluded from a few days ago )
Found the Widder Glenn.
"Well, It hain't no secret that I
looked nround nnd found the widder
Glenn. She might have been looking
around at the same time, but I'm not
going to sa.v that such Is the case.
At first It was a question with me
whether u widower could love for
the second time. Within a week after
I had hit the widder's trail that ques
tion was settled in the affirmative. I
found myself a heap more In love than
on the first occasion. All of you was
kind enough to say that I made a
durned fool of myself, and. though I
couldn't see It then. I'm admitting
most of It now.
"I haunted the widder's house day
and night. I hang around her gate at
midnight. I wrote poetry on to her. 1
posted myself on sunrises and sunsets
and moons and babbling brooks for
ler sake. For her sake I quit wearlag
japer collars and bought the real stuff
and give you all a chance to say that
I'd bring up In the jtoorhouse. When
1 took her to the circus and Into all
the sideshows besides and bought pea
nuts and lemonade and candy on top
of that. It seemed to most of you that
I bad gone crazy, but I was simply In
lo^e. Once when the widder had to go
away for a day I went over and found
her tracks at the back door and sat
beside them for hours and hours. If
that don't settle the question of wheth
er a man can love the second time,
then I don't know.
"Gentlemen. I was two long months
hesitating over asking the widder to
be mine, and yet the rest of yon was
saying that she'd jump at the chance.
Mebbe you was right. I know that
when I finally managed to get up the
courage I hadn't hardly got my mouth
open before she says yee, and we was
married a month later.
"And now comes the real p'lnt I'd
been JMm of the house, same as all
you are boss of yours. Wasn't it
nateral for me to keep right ou bous
ing? Had the thought of surreuderlug
the reins of government occurred to
me? Is a mau and u husband to be
treated like a child or a slave? At the
first gtf off her bossing was a novelty,
and I rather liked it and encouraged it
I was still in love, you s*e. After
r boat a month the novelty wore oft.
and I began to assert myself. I took
the bossing business into my own
hnnds. What follered? Why, thai
wife got right up on her hind legs and
made the air blue for forty rods

could show- mi' the trick, but 1 wits

expected t > remain so for the remain
der of his days. It has got so at his
house that when a lightning rod man
comes along he's got to Inquire of
Mrs. Hammersmith or be run off the
premises. Then I went and bad a talk
with the pastor of my church. He ad
vised me that I try moral suasion. I
went home and tried It and found my
self In the back yard with tho door

"Who Bosses th* Roost f"
"Gentlemen, who bosses the rooet?
Mrs. Spooner.
"Who handles the cash? Mrs. Spoon
er.
"Who tells me when I can go and
when I shall come? Mrs. Spooner.
"Who gives me liberty to draw my
breath? Mrs. Spooner.
"I'm only telling you what you all
know and what Is the gossip of the
town. She made up her mind when
she became No. 2 that she'd be the
boss, and she's carried It out. That's
the way with all No. 2's. No. 1 knuc
kles right down and lets you do the
bossing and thinks It's all right, but
No. 2 Is no such chicken. She Intend
ed to get the whip haud when she mar
ried you, and she's going to keep It or
raise such a row that you'll wish you
was in your grave.
"Understand, geutlemeu, that I'm
saying nothing agin Mrs. Spooner.
She's tlner'u silk. Oh, Lord, but such
pickled peaches as she does put up!
And apple sass? It makes you grin
from your neck to your heels! Just
ono of the nicest women In the county,
and 1 hope that she'll outlive me by
twenty years, but 1 have had to use
her for au Illustration. She married
me to be boss, and she Is boss, same
as all the other No. 2's. I hain't ex
actly saying that the man who loses
No. 1 ahouldu't look for a No. 2, but
I'm saying that If he does be ought
to know what's coming to him and
what he'll be sure to geu I'Tt fit

Is so mighty nigh up that I've got to
get a hump on me and run all the way
home, and even then Mrs. Spooner
may be standing there with a club to
hit me when I Jump through the gate."

THE WINTER LAYER.
"When egg* In a farming district av
enge 40 ccnts, what the dickens 1* tbo
matter with the chickens?" lutjulrcs
the rural lte.
"Fresh eggs 73? The hcu must be
deteriorating," remarks the city buyer.
Gentlemen, be polite. It'n not the
great American hen, but the man be
hind the hen, that's at fault. A hen
can't lay abore her capacity. It mut
ters not how or what Is fed. Any old
bunch of feathers will drop eggs In
warm weather, but a winter layer Is n
brain product. The hen dates back to
Adum, but the winter layer Is a mod
srn Invention. You can breed winter
layers and perpetuate an egg strain if
you follow our plan. The hen Is
ready.
HEN HISTORY.
To start a line of heavy winter lay
ers we selected a perfectly shaped S
C. W. Leghorn hen. She was large,
of strong constitution, and her average
was over 200 eggs a year. This was
lu the polar region of Pennsylvania,
where the water mains froze up and
the thermometer ranged from 25 to
83 degrees below zero for a week
at a time. That winter the Clear
field county hens froze up, but ours
rolled out more eggs, their output
always Increasing with the price.
Now, we looked around for a male to
match. He must be standard bred and
come from stock that would also lay
at the arctic circle. We found him up
near Canada In the largest and most
successful White Leghorn egg plant In
the United States. This Is our line of
winter layers, aud the beautiful hens
sprung from that pair ure now work
ing overtime building our bank ac
count.
The hutching season will soon I*
here Hememlier these simple points:
Brevd from the best layers. If loug
bred, buy a male of equal or better
strain. Do not mate northern and
southern stock for winter eggs. The
second year mate the cock with his
du ugh tern aud the cockerels with the
hens. Do not hatch chicks before the
first week In April, as they will mult
in the full and be done for winter lay
ing.

Gruatl Service for Peopl* who
Work lu Ala?ku
Most Alaska people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over a desk ? riding
on jolting wagons or cars? doing labor
ious boosework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hundred
and one different ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure
the kidnevs until they fall behind in
t"6ir work of filtering the poisons frotr
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, put new s'.reDgth in*|b?d
backs?
W. H. Wood of 250 cottage St., Sa
lem, Ore., says: "'A good mauy years
ago I got badly kicked by a mule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
also injuring my back. Since then I
have had more or less annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weather caused
my back to ache and when I. worked
hard it became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping. I
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug
stotc and since taking them, although
I have continued to work hard aud be j
exposed to severe weathc,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doati'n Kidney Pills act up to
representation made of them. I also
Know of other people who have derived
i rea'- benefit from their use. I am glad
to let others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and kidney
trouble.
