GOVERNOR KNflPP (HO
-THE FAKE SMI ' IB
I
The Seattle Argus some time ago raD
the following nmu-.iotf tale as une of
those with which Colonel Rtpinskl re
gales his frlend9 over "? bot bird and a
cool bottle":
"Bow is bear hunting up at Haines?"
he was asiced. "Fine: come up and I'll
go out hbnting with you, any time,"
?od tke colonel smiled In a grim sort of
way that recalled a very famous story
that old-time Alaskans still enjoy re
lating.
Wheu the late Lyman Knapp wxs
governor of Alaska he heard of the
bear hunting on the peninsula on which
Haines is located, and he wrote to Col.
Riplnskl acd made a date for a bunting
excursion.
"I never killed a bear in my life,"
salt! Governor Knapp, "but I would like
to bring on j do*o."
"A big grizzh?" asked Ripinski. "Of
course," said the governor. And to the
trip was planned. Riplnskl took into
his service an old iDdian who boasted
that white blood Rowed in his veins and
who certainly did possess a strain of
true Irish humor and loved ? practical
joke. The old Indian ana Kipinski
.pulled from its hiding place the skin
and head of the largest grizzly bear
ever killed iu thai vicinity. They fixed
the skin up so that the It.dlan could
wear it standing up, thus giving the
semblance of a bear rampant. The In- i
dian, clad in the bearskin, disappeared I
in ihe woods and craweled into a hole
about two miles from the village. An
hour later tbe governor and Rlpinskl
started out with their guns. Rlpinskl
carried a rifle and the governor was
armed with a shotgun, the shells for
which contained heavy charges of pow
der I ut no shot.
Rlpinskl told the go.tornor to go
ahead and that he would make a detour
and drive the bear toward him. When
the governor neared the cave the old
Indian, with the skin sewed around
him, cameout of the cave with a tre
mendous "woof" and made straight for
the hunter. Four shots from the
weapon ailed to bring the animal down
although the recoil nearly disloctted
the governor's shoulder. With the
Animal but fifteen feet distant and ap
proaching in a most menacing manner,
the governor dropped his gun and start
ed for the village. His time was not
:aken but they do 6ay that the under
arush was flattened out for four or five
Feet on cach side of bis route.
Wheu Ripinaki and the Indian reach
ed home a few hours latir they found the
governor under the care of the Chllkat [
red headed medicine man Skun-Doo,
tie had run so fist that he was* having
trouble with his breathing apparatus,
rt was two years later that tho ^over
aor learned of the joke, but even then
he insisted that Ripinski was such an
iwful liar that he wouldn't believe that
;he bear was a fake one.

Most Alaska people <vork every day
in some strained position? bending con
stantly over a desk ? riding on jolting
wagons or cars ? doing laborious
bouse work: lifting, teaching
or pulling, or trying
the back in a hundred and one ways.
All these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injur? the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney

over the Kidae^ and at another time
while digging a well it caved iu on me,
also injuring my back. Since then I
| have had more or less annoyance
from my kidney*. Change of weather
; caused my back to ache nad when I
| worked bard it became so lame that I
: could hardly straighten up alter stoop
ing. I procured Dean's Kidnep Pills at
a drug store and since taking them, al
though I have continued to work hard
and been exposed to severe weather
not an ache or other symptom of my
former trouble remains. This clearly
proves that Doan's Kidney Pills act up
to the representations made of them.
I also know of other people who have
derived great benefit from their use. I
am glad to let other* know the merits
of Doao's Kidnty Pills for backache

ingly, it Ls not claimed that Syrup of Figs
ami Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives the fact tliat it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from aH objection
