THE CHB1STMA* armiT
Christmas it her* agsro, and again j
men and women have ceased to pursue !
their worldly ambitions and favorite I
fancies (or a while to engage in the
work of making- others happy. It la
being demonstrated again that ' the
example of Him who came to bring;
poace and good will on earth mad* an
impresaion that is gaining in its effect
upon the world as time passes, for
there are more people following it oo
this anniversary of His birthday than
ever was the case before.
This ts another of thoae symptoms
of the a^e to encourage the optimist
engaged in the work of trying to make
tne world better. It is a symptom to
cooaider which kills pessimism and con
ptusses the nimble wit at cynics.
It might not be out of place to add
that there is oo section of the world,
probably, where the Christmas spirit
is core general or the optimism of the
Christmas-tide more marked thsn in
tbe Northland, the home of those who
are great of heart and generous a! mind
far beyond the average of mankind.
E. H. liarriman, head of tne
Southern i'acitic and right hand man
of the Rockefellers: W. Dingee, owner
of the public service corporartoa of
San Francisco; W. B. Bourne, head of
vhe San Francisco gas trust, and other
millionaire monopolists have coma to
the assistance of Schmit&, the "labor''
mayor of San Francisco. They
have loaned their corporation attor
neys and offered any aid that was
needed. Mr. Diogee says he can
muster *l,UX>,000 for the defense of tha
major. Really, it sems hard to ex
pose any sort of muck to the light of
day without baring some spot of the
system" for the public gaze.
The annual Christmas tree of tb?
Arctic Brootherbood, which 6m be
come a regular feature wltb the Stag
way camp of the order, is another
token of the unseliahoess of that
splendid organization of great hearted
and patriotic northern men, in under
taking to *ee that every child in Skag- !
w?_v, rich and ooor. if provided wltb
something of the Christmas cheer.
Camp Skagway exhibit! the true
Christmas spirit.

The kidneys are overtaxed:
Have too much to do.
They tell about it in many aches and
pains?
Backache, sidesche, headache.
Early symptoms of kidney ills.
Urinary trouble*, diabetes, Bright's
disease follow.
W. k. Mcintosh, of 5Si Hartison Ave.
Astoria, Ores., says: "For years, off
and on, I suffered a (food deal from a
deranged condition of the kidneys and
lameness and aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
at my work and made it painful to stoop
over or lift anything- I often thought
I was troubled with gravel, so painful
waa the passage of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice
and I procured theiu at a drug store.
They helped me from the first and soon
relieved the pain and lameness in my
back, corrected and regulated the kid
ney secretions, and the lapse of time
since I gave my first statement regard
ing my satisfactory experience with
your remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived is still of a lasting nature.''
