THE TIDE NORTHWARD.
There Is a tid?? which is drifting
northward. Go down south a hundred
or five hundred miles, drop a box or
a plank nto the sea and after awhile,
if uninterrupted, it will find its way
to Alaska. All along the Alaskan
coast the beach Is dotted with fir
logs polished and water-worn with
their long travel northward. We do
know the scientifc reason for this,
but it must be true as there are no
fir trees in Alaska. The fact is not
only interesting in Itself but it typi
fies the drift of immigraton to this
mysterious land of opportunity. There
is a tide In the affairs of men that
is drifting them to Alaska "which
taken at the flood leads on to for
tune." Already thousands haw been
impelled unconsciously to succumb
to the northward drift and many are
yet upon the tide. Alaska is the
magnet that attracts and holds.
Many come, but few go away. ?
Ketchikan Miaar.
KERMIT.
I like to read of Theodore, who's
won renown for shedding gore, and
time will never dim it: I read about
the beasts he slays, and wish him for
tune all his days ? but Kermlt is the
limit. I do not care what Kermit
slow ? a mongoose or a kangaroo ? I
care not where he wanders; and yet
the man who sends the yarns of
hunting in the Jungle tarns, of Ker
mit drools and maunders. It's Ker
mit here and Kermit there, and Ker
mit killed a grizzly bear, a polecat o.
a cheetah: and Kermit licked a
crocodile, and chased a python half a
m"e, and slugged a big moskeetah.
Oh. send a thrilling yarn of gore, of
bloodshed wrought by Theodore?
i! n't cut it down or trim it; we'll
Pi .at the story, word for word, and
not a comma will be slurred ? but
Kermit is the limit! ? Walt Mason.
INSPIRED BY A VISIT TO CASTLE
KERN.
Life, what is life?
But one long desire.
And for what?
Ah, who can tell
The longings of heart.
Of the human brain,
Strugglings of *oul
Over flesh to gain.
Oh, the joy
Eternal love,
That golden truth
That keeps up the fire
And the wild desire
Of our youth
Forever bright
As the beacon light,
That one true ouide
Through storm and pain
To life's one beet gain:
Immortality.

The results of money saving may tx

WHAT THEJjDNE?S DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All tho blood la tho body pastes
through tho kidneys ouoo every thre
minutes. Tho kldueys filter the blood
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they removo about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
Ur is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain iu tho back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness irrogular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in tho urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
\V. A. Hawkins, 669 "fenler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm tho statement I
gave for publication somo years ago
In favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
tho relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent. I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had tho most severe pains across
tho small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped me at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and havo recommended them on
many occasions."
