A WOMAN'S 006
The Chicago woman of ths pamper
ed rich, who hired a special train to
rush her sick poodle dog from Los
Angoles to New York for medical
treatment, all in vain, and paid #500 for
a coffin and herself deliver. d ac elo
quent and tearful sermou over the
deceased at the canine cemetery, would
likely have left a colicky baby at home
to have done it, if she had one. For
seventeen long years they had made
their home together, the dog and her
self, and had lavished their affections
on each other. Her crowniog act of
affection showed she was a fit associate
for the poodle and it is sad, indeed,
that death should have intervened to
seperate them. The coat of the trip
must have been thousands Meantime,
next summer hundreds of babies will be
gasping: out their little lives in the
torrid tenements of :he great cities,
perishing for the little Iresh air, the
pure milk and wholesome food those
thousands could have bought. But
what are these, the little children, the
special solicitation of the Master, com
pared with the ills of a decrepit old
poodle? It is all well enough for
women to be soft-hearted but it makes
a bad combinat'on when they are soft
headed as well.
THE 6IRL OF TODAY
The Idea of young ladies looking on
the toiling of ineir motheis with a use
it-for-granted air? that such toil is ex
pected Is, it is to be regretted, growing
in this country. Too much time is
wasted by the girl of today in front of
the looking glass and n t enough is
?pect on the business end of a broom.
Long before she can bake biscuits the
fas ionabie maid can put up a good
game of tennis. Maidens who become
affected with a weak heart at the sight
of a day's Wkshing proudly exhibit a
foreariu as hard as an iron moulder's in
the fencing class, and yet there are still
people old-fashioned enough to appreci
ate the litte verse printed below:
IP MOTHER WOULD LISTEN.
(Kansas City Journal.)
"If mother would listen to me. dears,
She would freshen that faded gown
She would sometimes take an hour's
rest.
And sometimes a trip to town;
And it shouldn't be all for the chil
dren,
While the mother toils away,
With the patient droop on the tired
mouth,
And the 'Mother has her day.'
"True, mother has had her day, dears,
When you were her oabies three,
And she stepped about the farm rnd
house
As busy as a bee;
When she rocked you all to sleep,
dears,
And sent you all to school
And wore herself out, and did with
out,
And lived by the Ciolden Rule.
"And so your turn has come, dears:
Her hair is growing white.
And her eyes are gaining that far
away look
That peers beyond the uight.
One of these fine days in the moraing
Mother will not be here;
She will fade away into silence?
The mother so true and dear.
'Then what will you do in the day
light?
Acd father, tired and lonesome then,
Pray what will you do for him ?
If you want to keep your mother
You must make her r*st today:
Must Rive her a share of the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
"And if mother would listen to me,
dears,
She would buy her a gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet
And ruffles as white as milk;
And she'd let you do the trotting
While she sat still in her chair:
That mother thould have it hard all
through,
It strikes me. isn't fair."
ALASKA IS MONEY UNCOINED
How many of our readers and read
ers of other Alaska papers, magazines
and journals, stop and consider the
vastness of the territory's varied re
sources ?
Almost every day comes the report of
a new rich discovery, not only of gold,
copper, tin and other minerals known
to Alaska for a long time, but discov
eries of minerals heretofore unknown
to exist in the country. Alaska can
now boast of holding in her icy bosom
almost every mineral knowa to solence
and metallurgy, and every one in big
paying quantities ? Ex.
Scientists declare that Martens' once
lived io Alaska that grew to the height
of twe've feet. This Is determined by
foot marks found Id frozen Holds. In
time to come, It tbey judge by the big;
talk Governor Hoggatt makes, snent
?sts will think Alaska was, in his time,
inhabited by men forty feet tall.
For tome unknown reason it has now
been two days sincj the reptile pres*
ha* made any announcement of Presi
dent Roosevelt having asked Gover
nor BogKatt for assistance In runoirg
the government.
"A man is drunk," decla> es a western
officer, "when he hasn't any more
sense than to swear at a policcman."
Policemen being geneially armed with
hard, cruel clubs, we should say that
this proposition is correct.
The persistency with which the rep
tile press attacks the movement for a
concerted fight against Gov. Hoggatt
is evidenc3 sufficient that a hit bird
flutters.
Automobiling is said to develop the
lungs. It certainly does when the car
breaks down ten miles from the nearrs*
repair shop.
New York policemen are now enjoin
ed to be polite to the public. How,
theD, will the public know they are
real policemen ?
A Kentucky girl has become the
bride of Robert Burns of Scotland.

WITH THE EXCHANGES
"The mills of the God grind slowly but
they grind exceeding sm&l.:
So soit and slow the great wheels go,
they scarcely move at all,
But the sotfls of men fall into them,
and are powered al! to dust,
And from the dust spring the passion
flowers, Hope, Love and Trust."

"Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of ba l back sufferers in Al
aska are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Mauy a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, tbanks to Doan's Kidney Pills
Our citizens are telling the good news
of their experience with the Old Quak
er remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
N. S. Williams, of 239 Liberty St.,
Salem, Ore., says: A number of years a
go the doctors told me my kidndya wero
in bad shape. I came west on account
of the trouble, thinking: a change of
climate would help me but nothing 1
did gave me relief in spite of the use o
remedies and medical treatment. On
procuring Doan's Kidney Pills, I found
them ihe'best medicine I ever used.
At the time I got them I wan suffering
from an intense ? urning sensation as
if two live coals were placed direct
ly over my kidneys, the sacretions from
the kidneys were the color of strong
black coffee and of a bad odor. After
using two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills.
I did not have the least pain in my back
or trouble with my kidneys. I give
all the credit for this to your valuable
remedy."
