MIGHT HAVE!
I HAVE lived my life, and I face the

But that other life I might havo led,
Where lay the road, and who was Its
friend.
And what was the goal when the years

YVHERE lay the road? Did I mls? the

The friend unknown, our greetings unsaid
And the goal' unsought? Shall 1 never

What was that life 1 might have led?
VS the spring'* last look, for one dear
day
From skies autumnal on earth may
bend.
So lures me that other life?but. nay;
I have lived my life, and I face tho end.

OUT IN THE FIELDS.
THE little cares that fretted me,
I lost them ye :terday
Among the Held* above tho sea.
Among the winds ut play.
Among the lowing of the herds.
The rustling of the trees;
Among the singing of tho birds.
The humming of the bees.
Tho foolish fears of what may happen.
1 cast them all away
Among the clover scented grass,
Among tho new mown hay.
Among the husking of the corn
Where drowsy popples nod.
Where III thoughts die and good are born.
Out In the fields with God.

hide
Before tho noonduy sun.
I close them wistfully away
And give the key to none.

Through some closed corner of my heart.
Should laugh to find you there!

ALASKA'S COMNIERCE SHOWS
MEASE FOR LASI YEAR
The annual report of J. It. Willis, '
collector of customs for Alaska, for
the year 1909 has just been received
and It shows a general Increase in
j imports and exports all along the line.
, In fact the totals are within $3,000,000
of the amount of business done In
1906. which was the banner year in
the history of the territory.
Mr. Willis states:
"For the first timo since 1906 the
j annual statement issued by this of
; flee shews an Increase in Alaska's
I commerce compared with the previous
year. The total business for 1909 ?
jover sixty million dollars? is be
| tween seven and eight million dollars
j greater than during 1907 and 1908,
and is within three million dollars of
j that lor 1906. which was the banner
year In the history of the district.
The largest growth In any one Item
,?f the total trade for 1909 was In
the receipts for merchandise from the
I nited States, which shows almost
four million dollars more than the
figures for 1908 ? almost half of this
Increase is in the division known as
southern Alaska, and was due to the
large shipments of railroad construc
I tlon material to Cordova."
There is also an increase iu the
value of domestic merchandise ship
ped to the United States of over n
million dollars greater than that tet
any previous year.
^ Imports of merchandise from the
I nited States for 1909 as compared
i with 190s were: 1908. $15.066.018. .
j 1909, $18,923,887. The exports of
j merchandise to the United State*
were: 1908, $12,255,255; 1909. $13,
. .>33.13 < . Domestic gold and silver to j
the United States: 1908, $16,774,127;
1909. $18,044,53.
I The Increase In imports to the dis
trict for the past year as over 1 90S
I amounted to $5,397,371 and the In
crease in exports $2,566,295.
The domestic exports from Alaska
are classified as follows: gold and
silver, $18,044,53; canned salmon, $10,
124,811 ; general merchandise, $590,
S60; furs, $758,160; salmon otlier than
canned. $92^.517; copper ore, $205,
551 and other commodities brings up
the total to $31,686,112.
It should be remembered that the
exports of domestic gold and silver
from Alaska to the United States In
clude only regular shipments by
freight, express and registered mail.
N'o attempt was made by the customs
officials to gather statistics of gold
carried on the persons of travelers:
(There Is a good deal of gold taken
from the district in this manner and
j the total gold production of Alaska is
I probably betweeu one and two million
dollars in excess of the reported ship
ments.)
As compared with the report for
190S the shipments of merchandise
from the I nited States evidences a
growth in every section, except South
eastern Alaska. The value of ship
ments to Southeastern Alaska de
creased nearly three thousand dollars
The healthy showing in the busi
ness for the district came as a great
surprise to those who have watched it
Some time ago It looked as though 1
there would be a decrease of nearly
20 per cent in the business, even al- j
lowing for the big increase of ship
ments to Cordova. A decrease of col
lections is manifested in the report
and this Is attributed to the reduc
tion of duty 011 coal and Is partly
caused by the substitution of oil for
coal as fuel.
That the business for Nome and th
Yukon river district has Brown Is an
other unexpected showing found in
the report.
lu the matter of expor.s Skagway
stands fourth among the towns of
Southeastern Alaska. Trcadwell is
first with exi>orts valued at $1,287,
170; Juneau second with $G.r>8,768;
Ketchikan third with $429,179: and
then conies Skagway with exports
valued at $374,575.

M rs C. A. McCourt, 253 So. Forti
eth St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "I
have 110 hesitation in confirming the
public statemont I gave some years
ago In favor of Doan's Kidney Pills,
as the euro I received from their use
has been permanent. I suffered a
great deal from severe pains through
my kidneys. 1 also lacked energy,
was subject to dizzy spells and was
caused annoyance by a weakness of
iny kidneys. When Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention,
I procured a box and a few doses
gave mo suchgreat relief that I con
tinued taking them until every symp
lom of my troublo was disposed of.
I cannot say too much in favor of
