The Pilgrim.
8enator Beverldge In one of his many
eloquent ludepeudence day addresses
compared tlie critics of America to an
admirer of the poet Whlttler.
"These critics." he said, "fall to
bring the necessary sympathy and
knowledge over with them, and hence
they are unsatisfactory? like the Whlt
tler pilgrim.
"Pilgrims used to visit Whlttler con
tinually. A typical one came from
Missouri. Though told that Whlttler
had a headache, he forced his way
Into the poet's study, where he de
clared. that he adored all Whlttler's
works, which he knew almost by
heart. lie asked Whlttler to write
his name several hundred times on a
large sheet of foolscap, so that he
could cut out and distribute the auto
graphs among his Missouri friends?
In fact. It tras all the poet could do to
keep the enthusiastic Mlssourlan from
clipping all the buttons from his coat
as souvenirs.
" 'And all the time' ? so Whlttler
would end the anecdote pathetically?
?all the time he called me Whltaker." "
Poor Mother Eve.
"Dr. Emll Reich Is now saying that
the American woman can't understand
genius. That doesn't preclude her
from understanding him."
The speaker, a Colony club woman,
frowned.
"Dr. Reich," she said, "is anything
but a genius, though abroad the wo
men do fawn on him. Here we treat
ed him as a lightweight with a slight
gift of humor. Ue didn't like It: hence
his strictures on us.
"I admit." she resumed, "that Dr.
Reich Is now and then rather funny.
Once, for example, I heard him say at
a dinner, apropos of woman's vanity:
" 'Mother Eve must have been terrl- j
bly put out not to be able to hpl&V |
small pail or water in rront of Her
when she stood with her back to a
pool and fried to see If her hair was
properly done up behind.' Washlng
i ton Star.
An Anatomical Wonder.
Senator Deveridge was criticising
the ludicrous speeches of a certain up
I right hut hot headed congressman.
| "Fie does make queer blunders,
doesn't he?' said Senator Beverldge.
"Have you heard about his latest?
j "Well. It seems that a constituent,
visiting him recently, complained of
i the shabbiness of a pair of ink stained
crash trousers that he had on.
" 'A man of your position,' said the
| constituent reproachfully, 'ought to
wear handsomer trousers than those.'
; "The congressman, offended, answer
ed reproachfully:
" 'My trousers may be shabby, but
, they cover a warm and honest heart.' "
YEOMANS IS STILL CHAMPION
S. H. Yeomans, who claims the
checker championship of Alaska and
the Klondike by virtue of administer,
ing defeats to all whom he has played
with since coming to Skagway, de
fended the title yesterday and Wed
nesday against Louie Marceau, a Daw
son checker shark. When the smoke
of battle cleared away, Yeomans had
won 11 games. Marceau 1, and 4 were
draws. Marceau declared he would
stay in Skagway until he beat Yeo- ,
mans, had he not already purchased .
his ticket.

ON TRADITION
I CHICAGO. Aug. 26 ? ' Tho Rible is
not original with its supposed compll
[ trs, according to opinions expressed
; by Professor Gerald B. Smith, of the
I Divinity Department of the Univers
ity of Chicago.
"The story of the creation and the |
| deluge appeared long before the Bible
[ was written," the speaker declared.
'"Both these stories were traditional
Ir he early literatnre of the Babyl- i
i on'ans.
"The theologian of today is ac
quainted, as theologians of former '
days were not, with the reality and
vitality of the non-Christian religion
| and in the Investigation of the Old
Testament religion it has been found
J that many of the elements were deriv.
ed from Israel's contact with Babylon.
There are elements In every pagan j
religion which every Christian is com-j
pelled to recognize as truth."

MAKES WORK EASIER
Alaska People Are Pleased to Learn
How It I* Done.
It's pretty hard to attend to dnUrt
With a constant!) aching back;
With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Kidney Pills make work
easier.
They euro backache.
They euro every kidney ill.
P. A. Johnson, 4840 South I St..:
Tacorna, Wash., says: "I recommend !
Doan's Kidney Pills just as hlghly
today as 1 did soveral years ago.
For quite a period of time, I suffered
from kidney trouble, the secretions
from my kidneys being very Irregular
In passage and causing me much nn
toyancc. When Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention, I pro
cured a box and their use entirely
ilsposcd of my trouble. I have had
110 return attack since and know that
the cure Doan's Kidney Pills perform
ed was a pormauent cure."
PIERCES INTELLECT WITH PRINTER'S INK
It is not what you pay for what
you get, but what you get for what
>ou pay, that counts.
If you paid $100.00 for a suit of
"Ruilt to your measure" clothes, you
would get what you paid for.
In addition to the 1100.00 worth
of wear, $100.00 worth of fit and
style, you would get the "Satisfac
tion" of knowing that your suit is
different in pattern and that it was
"built to your own peculiar figure,"
and after you figure It all out, what
have you paid for the perfect fit,
your choice of an unlimited stock of
patterns and fabrics, and last but
not least, "The Satisfaction." Why,
you spend that amount in lost energy
and fretting over your shabby clothes
every month.
Let us build you a suit and then
you'll know what real clothes satis
faction means, and ycu won't have
to pay $100.00 for a suit either.
Yours Truly,
The Amerlran Tailors.
