ALASKA BRAINS IK SEATTLE
Ovpotlie CtadldatM for tha Mayor
alty ar? Wall Kaova Mas of tka
North Who Mada I'halr StakM la
Alaaka nad Yukon
It it a rather notable fact that two
well known Alaskans arc the respeotire
candidates of the two partlea for the
mayoralty in Seattle.
Jobn F. Miller 1* a wealthy Tukoner
who weni Into the Klondike with the
Cr?t ruth, He Is the nominee of the
Republicans of the city. The man*
agers and the uewspapere are working
Mr. Miller's doc in the campaign aa
hard aa the patient animal waa ever
worked In the traces while up north.
They bare hla pietnre covering two
columne In a recent iaaue of the P -I.,
Accompanying tha thrilling story of
how ho aaved the would-be mayor's
life on a trip from Dawson to Ska? way
by ?ervlng as leader to hla team aad
making the roadhouse after dark.
After having thus enlisted the sympa
thies of the community, the dog a day
or so later, got into the pound, like any
ordinary pup, and Mr. Miller la repre
sented as daring defeat la the cam
paign by keeping a conference commit*
tee waiting a half hour while he goes
to the dog's rescue. This is pretty
good "human-interest stuff" and the
advertising agents of such ambitious
actresses aa may be in Seattle during
the period of the otmpalgn will prob
ably take notice.
Donald B. Olson, formerly of Dawson
and later of Fairbanks, well known
over the whole north, is the candidate
of the democracy. Mr. Olson's nativ
ity must be judged from his given ra
ther than his surname, for ho is a
Scotchman. He installed the electric
lighting plant in Dawson and was Its
manager for some tLne. It is under
stood he lost money in mining ventures
In Dawson a nd "went out,'' but wltli
the strike on the Tatuna be went in
there, took a lay on Fairbanks creek
anJl made a stake sufficient to put him
in the class on Easy street in Seattle a
year or so ago.
The question was raised against him
as to his elegibility for the nomination
because he votod in an election at Fair
banks, but it has been declared by the
judges that this don't count? Captain
Olson's w.fe and domicile having been
in Seattle at the time. Olson was al- !
ways considered a strong man, and pop
ular as such, in both Dawson and Fair
banks. It will be seen Seattle depends
on Alaska not only for her money
bringing trade, but hsr brains. But
we have plentv of both and to sp .re.
WHOSE TREAT WAS THIS?
A London newspaper halts before the
following problem In finance unent
the silver question aod leaves it to
others guess if they can. Perhaps you
can do It?
In the United States the Mexican
dollar has an exchange value of 9J
cents. In Mexico the American silver
dollar has the same value. On the
frontier of the United Sta'es where
Texas joins Mexico, thero are two
saloons, one on each side of the frontier.
A cowboy buys a 10-cent d;ink of
whisky at the American saloon and \
pays for it with an American silver
d>llar, r*selving a Mexican dollar as
change. With this he cross-s the
frontier and goes luto the Mexican
saloon for a 10-cent drink and receives
an American dollar a* change. It is
evident that the limit of his purchasing
power is the length of time be cm j
stand. He Anally wakes up with a bad!
headache and the American dollar !
with which he started. Who paid for
the whisky?
That ploonr which is natural to the
placc has settled over the high school
department again. Professor Telford
is well. And more than that, there
was nothing much the matter with
him, so that any stories about infection,
upon which the last hope was bung, is
dispelled by the doctor.
That Idaho outraged husband took a
sure metns toseperate bis wife from the
man she preferred over him. After
walking two miles in the snow In their
nighties when would their feet ever set
warm.
Mr. Bryan will at least achieve the
distinction of being the only one, to his
time, who was the nominee of a national
party for the third time for the presi
dency and lost out as often.
It will be noted that In all newspaper
reports of the marriages of millionair
esses to the counts the use of the good,
old-fashioned phrase, "the happy cou
ple," is studiously avoided.
If incendiaries are not the cause, the
coincidence of the dlstructive fires re
peated In Baltimore and Portland, Me.
on the sama day is cenafnly most
notable.
SUCH NIGHTINGALES AS HOPE
Time was I teased Thee to reveal
Thine unknown face to me;
Yet grant not, God, that foolish prayer
I asked long since of Thee.
Leave still thy night, so gemmed with
stars,
Thy gloom throught which to grope,
Since through the das* of Doubi can
sing
Such nightingales as Hope.
Cuba Is disheartened? Uncle Sana is
about to insist that sbe try to govern
hjrself again, a* she onco thought she
would like to.
Gladys Vandorbilt Is now tho Coun
tess Siecheoyi? if she can tell you
what that is.
The scene of the "frollo" is trsns*
(erred to Buenos Ayres.
Pansles Id January in Alaska? that's
growing some.
Bear and Hog Fight Drawn Battle.
If tho brown bear that limped to Its
den In the mountains near Manltou.
Colo., after being routed by an Arkan
sas razorback hog will call at the
ranch of Grove brothers it will find Its
antagonist dying from its wounds. The
bear crept up to tho hog and seized It
by tho leg. The hog turned on the
bear, and for half an hour thcro was
a fierce battle. Both animals were
gashed and gory wheu they fell from
exhaustion. After a brief rest the bear
limped away to its den, the hog rising
and watching Its departure. The own
ers of the hog, who witnessed the fight,
are doing all they can for the animal,
but believe it will die.
Saves Guide'* Life With Her Garter.
"Big Bill" Long, a woodsman who
serves as guide to folks who bunt
near Patten, Me., owes his life to the
quick wit of Miss Martha George, a
young woman of Roxbury, Mass., who
accidentally shot him and then used
her giirter for a tourniquet, preventing
him from bleeding to death. While
gunning with Long bb her guide Miss
George accidentally pulled the second
trigger of an antomatic gun, the load
tearing through an artery in the
guide's leg. Instead of fainting she
bared Long's leg and, telling tho guide
to "look the other way," removed her
garter and staaelied the flow of blood.
Blown Twenty Feet by Red Fire.
Joseph Asche, fourteen years old, of
199 Tlllary street, Brooklyn, was prob
ably fatally hurt from an explosion of
red fire at an open air Republican
meeting at Myrtle avenue and Prince
street, Brooklyn. Asche selected the
cover of a manhole of the Edison Elec
tric company as a pan for his supply
of fire powder. He did not notice that
the cover was perforated with small
holes, through which powerful gasca
were rising. At a signal Asche ap
plied the lighted match. Witnesses
say be was tossed twenty feet
Christmas Trea For Cat.
Christmas Is the great religious festl
rnl when the kind heart* finds many
ways of ministering to the Joy ant)
pleasure of others. The good women
of Boston who originated and sustain
the Animal Rescue league- hare hit up
on tho unique Idea of n Christmas troo
for the eats that are watting for homes
at that Institution, a bush Is provided
and trimmed with meat and other suit
able eatables for such animals, and
Just before they are turned Into the
room the members of the Kindness
club are admitted to enjoy the antics
of the cats.
This club is composed of boys whoso
ages range from eight to thirteen
years and Is the outcome of the
league's work In a poor section of Bos
ton. They are pledged to do some kind
act each (lay and to protect animals
from cruelty. After the cats have de
molished tho tree and gone to sleep
the boys nre given refreshments and
sent home truly tilled with tho spirit of
Chrlstmae.-'New York Mall and Ex
