THE ALASKAN THANKSGIVING.
The fact is we have so many
things to be thankful for that to
start in an enumeration we should be
all day about It? and this is the
day before Thanksgiving and it
should be spent negotiating for the
turkey aud. aud, and ? well the celery
aud crauberrtes, perhaps.
Anyhow where there is everything
to b?* thankful for aud absolutely
nothing on the other side of the
ledger no time should be lost in mere
recitation. THESE MANIFOLD
BLESSINGS covers the situation,
in a big country like this up here
?re cannot go into details without
hurt to the dignity, though the details
art- all of a character to make up
the "manifold" character. We shall
be thankful In a large way. We shall
be thaukful for the weather, the vast
expanse of our empire that lends
something of its character to Its peo
ple, thankful for our rugged hills and
great peaks, our glaciers, the great
stretch of our stormy coast 'line aud
of our placid inland seas, our wealth
of mineral and forest that stands a
ready offering of reward to all who

have the strong heart and the strong
. : thankful for the free winds that
blow up here^ thankful for the past
with its l<*?sons and thankful for the
future with Us promise? thankful
that things are as they are even
though some of the turkeys missed
the boat.
Every man may Individualise for
himself. The democrat, for Instance,
v. , !! be thankful deep in his heart ?
seeing the immediate turn for better
ment of all business after the elec
tion ? that he was not successful on
the 3d inst.. and so on. each man
for himself, and every man. no doubt,
thankful that it Is a holiday when
lit* may have his own time in which
to give his individual expression to
the thankfulness in his heart.
NOVELTIES OF THE NEWS.
In the daily newspaper the history
of the day. each day, is told in mov
ing picture fashion, instantaneous
photographs as it were, catching the
high lights only, those things that
stand in suddeu relief for an instant
as the cosmopolitan ? conglomerate
Ik better ? mass mov? on. no stop
or check. We read in books and
see in plays what is set down as fic
tion, prepared for our entertainment,
bits of imagination of gifted writers,
absurd, melodramatic, tragic, amus
ing. pathetic, but the newspaper story
of real happenings ? truth, that, ac
cording to the old saw, is stranger
than fiction. Just for instance here
are a few items that caught the eye
in running through the last bunch of
exchanges ? a few of many:
Following the kicking of the de
fendant in a divorce suit by a Mis
souri mule, the court dismissed the
case at the Instance of the plaintiff
the other day at Seattle. The wife
Is now nursing the husband's Injur
ies. His Jaw Is fractured In two
places, his nose Is broken and one
eye has been knocked out He Is
now In a critical condition. His wife
had been waiting for 18 years for a
bad cough he had to carry him off,
but the cough only held on. Finally
her patience gave out and she
brought the suit and as the constable
approached, in a field where he was
plowing, to serve the papers, the
mule rose up and caught the miserly

husband In the face and when he
was carried home the wife relented
again.

A deer straying from It* native
woods near Sault Ste. Marie beeamt
frightened and dashed Into a rolling
mill at the plant ot the Algoma
Steel company and Into the roll;
which were turning out steel rails.
As a result 1,000 men were throwi.
out of work.

A woman who has slept steadily
for 32 years was reported a few days
ago from Stockholm. Karollne Karls
datter was a school girl of 13 when
she suddenly fell asleep over her
books in the schoolroom. The nap
lasted until last week, when she
awoke to find herself a middle-aged
woman of 45.

Consideration of the suit for an
nulment of marriage filed by Arthur
F. Bull, a woodenlegged maker of
wooden legs, against Mary Bull, who
wears one of the artificial limbs her
husband manufactures, was post
poned recently in an Oakland court
because Mrs. Bull was arrested at
San Jose on a charge of eloping
with Frank Fleming, also the owner
of a wooden leg.

While John Brugger, proprietor
of a saloon in Seattle was talking to
his wife over the telephone about
midnight recently, two masked men
entered and attempted to hold him
up. He refused to comply with their
orders, thinking they were joking
and they shot him twice, wounding
him badly. Mrs. Brugger, at her
home, two miles away heard a larg*
part of what occurred, including the
shots fired and the scream of agony
of her husband as he was shot.

Opening a law book at random
while waiting for his attorney to re
ceive him. Maxwell Kremer. a citizen
of North Yakima chanced upon a
paragraph which showed that he was
entitled to something like $3,000. The
volume was the Washington Reports,
and on the page at which it fell open
was the title, "Kremer et a), vs. Wal
ton, et al." Seeing his name in
duced Mr. Kremer to read, and he
found a decision of the supreme
oourt, handed down in 1896, giving
to his brother and himself a Judg
ment in the sum named. The case
lad dragged until he lost patience
and gave up. His lawyer had con
tinued but neglected to tell him the
result which he never would have
.tnown save for tills chance occur
ence.

Any of these circumstances incor
porated as a part of a work of fic
tion, the reader would be amused or
?.?ntertained, would admit th'at they
"might happen ? but ?

' By Terrible Eczema? Head Became
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
; ?Would Scratch Till Blood Came
?Much Money Wast:d in Fruitless
Treatments? Disease Was Soon
CURED AT SLIGHT COST
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within Ave days her face and head were
all one sore. We used different reme
dies but it got worse instead of better
and we thought she would turn blind
and that her ears would fall off. She
suffered terribly', and would scratch
until the blood came. At night we
had to pin her hands down. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started to
use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three
weeks ? what a change! I kept using
the Cuticura Remedies for two months
and our baby was a different girl. You
could not see a sign of a sore and she
was as fair as a new-born baby, and all
for the small cost of a dollar and seventy
five cents where we had spent ten
times the money for doctoring. She
is now two years old and has not had a
sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. P.

Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
"I broke out with a humor which
spread almost all over my body. The
Itching would get wore? on retiring,
00 I could not sleep. I tried several
remedies but it grew worse until I got
some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Pills
which began to relieve me at once. By
the time 1 had used one vial of the Pill*,
the humor was entirely gone. I wish
every sufferer could secure the Cuti
