HIS WIFE IS GONE.
Editor Howdesholl of the Ketchl-I
kan Minor is one of the cleverest
and most versatile writers in the
north. Ho is usually a cheery soul, i
i'ut of late his ?>dltorials have had a j
luelancholly ring. Here is his ox-:
planatlon:.
Our wife is gone. Gone to visit!
our motherinlaw. Gone back to the
old home and the real cream. Backj
to the old oaken bucket and the mud ;
pies of memory. We are not saying j
this to make other men envious
hose wives are not gone. But it is
a sort of whistle to keep our courage
up. For a long time the opportunity!
to hang out all night and make a1
monkey of ourselves has looked j
^ood. Now. with no restraint on our !
conduct, no tearful wife waiting to j
throw her hooks into our hair. 110 1
one to lie to. nobody to pacify with j
a* ''ul inventions, no person to care 1
a whoop whether we go to the bug- J
house or not; now that the very
hour and moment is pregnant with
witchery and our horoscope is psv- j
etiological!}* correct for a riotous j
period of dobouchery. we get sleepy j
at $;::o and mope off to bed like aj
ntollusk.
Its enough to drive an ostenta-i
tious drunkard to the Keeley insti
tute. Solo has lost its charms and]
? .lgh balls arc a mockery. We do not
want to play poker or lk-k up suds
cr do any of the hundred disreputabl
tilings that a few days ago seemed
si entrancing. If things had panned!
out as anticipated, we would be an|
actor in the jollification drama instead
of '*s playwright.
WONDERS OF SCIENCE
On the plains of Grandoldtexas the
will build a mighty tower, where the
heavens may be studied by a learned
aslronomower. who will earnestly en
deavor to keep eases on the stars,
and will make a special effort to com
luunieate with Mars. 1 have known
so many wonders since my Journey
was begun, that 1 wouldn't be aston
ished if this latest trick were done. !
I have lived to see the "wireless" I
make the sons of men rejoice: I have!
heard a weird contrivance reproduce
the human voice; I have gazed at
ships that travel at the bottom of
Jho sea, and another ship that jour
roved far above the highest tree. 1
have seen the latest triumphs in the
way of women's hats, and when peo
ple speak of marvels. I can only ans
wer "Rats!" So it will not much sur
prise me if we bridge the void un
known. and are talking with the Mar
tians. pretty soon, by telephone; and
the first thing they'll ask us. when
the wires are working right, will be: j
"Do you think it likely Jeffries really j
means to fight?" ? Walt Mason.

Alaskans have suspended judge
ment on Gov. Clark, although not ap
proving of the manner in which his
appointment was rushed through by
the administration. If Clark plays
fair ball he can be the most popular
nan in Alaska. If he follows in Ho
jratt's footsteps he will sink to tie
depths of unpopularity formerly oc< i
pied by that benighted executive.
Now that Wickersham has actually
introduced a bill in Congress allowing!
Alaska a territorial legislature we wi |
discover how the present Adminis-i
tration stands.

Which Broke Out in Different Places
? Nothing Would Help Him?
Mother Almost in Despair? Skin
Quickly Healed WithoutaScar and
Trouble Has Never Returned
SINCE USING CUTICURA
MOTHER GIVES IT PRAISE
"Several months ago, my little* boy,
now two anil a half years old, be pan to
break out with |
itching sores. I
began to doc
tor him, and aa
soon as I cot
them healed up
in one place they
would break out
in another. I
was almost In
despair. I could
not get anything
that would help
him. Oneevon
ing I fad a tes
timonial from a
lady who had cured her little boy with
Cuticura. I began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after
using them three times, the sorts com
menced to heal. Ho i-i BOW well, and j
not a soar is left on his bod v. They
have never returned nor lrfc him with
bad blood, as one would think. Cuti
cura Remedies an- the best 1 have ever '
tried, and they are surely great. I
shall always have them in* the house,
handy, arid shall highly recommend
them toanyonewhois suffering likewise. ]
I cannot give thein too mnch praise.

There is certainly an mr of refine
ment and style about the
EATON, CRANE & PIKE
writing papers, but those are by n
means tlio only requisites that they
possess. Theso papers are beauti
fO to look at, agreeable to the touch,
tako the stamp of the monogram diei
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, and are absolutely c<>
rect as to size and shape.
We carry many of the Eaton, '
Crane & Pike writing papers, and can
recommend them all.
Wo also recommend other lines of
our comploto stationery stock, such a '
blank books, tablets, writing material
a fine assortment of Waterman's and
