Complete Work
J. J. Delscev acd-Capt.G. Lewington, j
representing the Cudahyt, of Chicago,
have completed as thorough an inves
tigation of the Porcupine district as is
possible during the winter season.
They spent two weeks in the Porcu
pine country. They arrived on the
Jefferson today and will go south on
that boat, returning to m%ke a further
investigation in the spting, probably in
May.
The investigation they made, they
say, was necessarily superficial, on ac
count of the fact that the country is !
covered deep with snow. However, I
they were favorably impressed with
it. '
WILL IftVE OX
I HE JEffERSON
Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Pinneo and their
tbree little children will leave for the
south on the Jefferson today for Van
couver, which will be the field of Mr.
Pinneo's future activities. Their de
parture will be sincerely regretted by
a very large cirtle of friends, both at
Skagway and at Whitehorse.
Mr. Pinneo has been in the north fir?
years. He was stationed first at Whiw
horse, where he was cashier and ac
countant in the office of the river divis
ion of the W. P. Jc Y. R. He was
transferred from that position to that
of assistant freight and passenger ag?nt
at skagway. which position he filled
until its abolition. He goes to Van
couver to become chief clerk to J. H.
Rogers, the new traffic manager.
Mr. Pinneo's duties at Skagway
brought him in close touch with the
traveling and shipping public and his
uniform courtesy made friends for him
right and left who are distributed all
over the country.
SIREET CROSSINGS
ARE KEPT CLEAN
The city authorities set a gang of
men at work early this morning to
clean off the street crossings, and mo-t
of the business men anri property own
ers have done Jgooa work on the Side
walks. While the snow was piled
deeper on the north side of the streets
than it has been for five years, by noon
walking was not difficult over the busi
ness streets.
ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Diolary ban I*rore?l that DandnaH Li J
Canned by a Germ.
Science is donig wonders these days in
nedicine as well as In mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
t oubled with dandruff, for which no hair
i -eparation has heretofore proved a suc
'sS'ul cure until Newbro's Herpiclde was
it on the market. It Is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging Into the
?alp to get at the root of the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing Itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally baldness. Wlth
: :: 1 indruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
It is the only destroyer of dandruff.

A Rank PeaalmUt.
A Lady Bountiful living in a subur
ban village met an old man on the road
one day and asked after bis family, his j
health, etc. The old man gave a rather !
gloomy account of thiugs. He bad to
work all day and every day, and he ]
was growing old and felt the cold and '
was always tired. He wished he could
rest a bit after his long life of labor.
He was weary, very weary.
Lady Bountiful reminded him gently
that every one had his share of work
to do in this world, and that it was all
only a preparation of the world to
come, where there will be no tears or
labor.
The old man shook his head and smil
ed cynically.
"That may be for the likes of you,"
he said. "But there'll be work for the
likes of me. It will be the same thing
there: 'John, clean the sun.' 'John,
hang out the moon.' 'John, light the
stars.' 'John, stop the wind." They will
tind something for me to do, ma'am?
you'll see."
A Wonderful Ride.
I The most wonderful straightaway
I ride ever made by man was the gallop
| of Francis Xavier Aubrey, ci-devant
Canadian voyageur and a famous pony
express rider, from Santa Fe. N. M.,
to Independence, Mo., in 1833 ? 800
miles in five days and thirteen hours.
In 1S52 he had covered the same dis
tance In a little over eight days, and
his record was on the wager of ? 1,000
that he "could do it in an even eight."
In the -whole distance he did not stop
to rest, and he changed horses only
with every 100 or 200 miles. He was a
stocky French Canadian, light hearted,
genial, adventurous and absolutely
fearless. For some time he was an
overland freighter, and he also made
the enormously difficult and dangerous
drive of a flock of sheep from New
Mexico to California across the deserts
of the Colorado. lie was killed in San
ta Fe.? McClure's Magazine.
Early Autograph Hanteri.
A certain Atossa in early Roman days
6eems to have been the mother of au
tograph collectors. Cicero had a collec
tion, which must have been a flue one,
for he speaks of It with particulat
pride. The fever, even in those far
back days, was contagious. Pliny
speaks of Pompeius Secuudus, at
whose bouse he had seen autographs
of Cicero, Augustus, Virgil and the
Gracchi, and his own collection was
valued at $15,000 of our money. Then
came the inrush of barbarians, and we
do not again meet with the collector
until the beginning of the sixteenth
century, when he reappears in the per
son of a Bohemian squire, who kept a
book to record his exploits in the chase
and enriched it with the signatures of
his great hunter friends.
When Death tool* HI* Sting.
There is a curious superstition in Ja
maica that If a death occurs in the
house all the water in it is poisoned at
once and must be thrown away, the
reason given being that "death" cools
his "sting" after destroying iif? in the
llrst water he finds, and as no one can
tell? death being invisible? what Jai
he may choose it is safest to throw it
all away. Careful people to save trou
ble even carry all water out of the
house immediately before a death is
expected.

The Grip
"Before we can sympathize with ]
others, we mnst have suffered ou'-,
selves." No one can relize the suffer
ing attendart upon an a'tactc of the
grip, unless he has bad the actual ex
perience. There is probably no disease
that causes so much phsical and mentnl
aeony, or which so successfully defies
medical aid, All danger from the grip,
however, may be avoided by the prompt
UB6 of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy, not one case has ever
been reported that has resulted in
pneumonia or that has not recovered.
