BIG ONE i
Capt. Irvins Tabes Prize
Trophy Sonxli
The largest moose head that ever
came from the interior is atlthe White
Fass depot awaiting shipment to Vic
toria on the Amur. It is the property
of Capt. John Irving, who arrived from
Atlin last night. Cant. Irving secured
the magnificent trophy from John
Goode. the hunter, who killed the ,
mammoth king of the forest on the ?
McClintock river. It was mounted by i
John Pugh, the taxidermist at Caribou j
Capt. Irving is taicing the moose j
head to his home at Victoria where it
w:ll be added to a well selected collec- j
tion of trophies which ha has gathered j
in the course of his varied experiences
in the "West. It is a sort of a consola
tion prize which he is carrying home,
and one that will go a long way to re
pay him for his defeat in therccent
election by Dr. H. K. Young.
Capt. Irving takes his defeat very
philosophically. His oppocent was a
local man and he had worked hard for
his constituents in their local matters.
CaDt. Irving understood that he was up
against a hard proposition. He says its
a good thing, in-as much as the con
servatives carried the election, that
they have a large majority.

OLD INDIAN
FRtfZES TO DEATH
Seward, Jan. 2.>? Matanuska, an old
Indian who had lived around Knik on
Cook inlet for many years, woas found
frozen to death a few miles from that
place recently. Near by was a heap of
wood arranged for a fire and a box of S
saturated matches. The old man had \
evidently attempted to build a camp !
fire and failed because his matches were i
wet. Finding that death was certain
the stoical old Indian sat down uuder a
tree, leaned his back against it, folded
his arms and passed into unconscious
ness. He was found in that condition, j
A Grntal Smile.
Above all things smile! Smile though
you cannot see any cause for smiling.
Smile though a burden of sorrow seems
crushing you to the earth. Smile though
j grief tugs at your heartstrings. If your
I days are gray and your tasks hum
drum, smile. Smile until you awaken
' that Joy center which lives at the core
of yoo. And after you have once awak
ened It keep on stimulating it daily
with your persistent practice of joy.
HI* Preference.
"It is a positive delight to meet a
man you feel you can trust." remark
ed the individual with the high fore
head.
"Oh. I don't know. I prefer a man
who pays cash," replied the man who
kept the grocery store.
A Rare Name.

on a hotel register?" said a veteran
clerk, repeating ? query put to him.

CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS FOR 75c.
Mrs Oorge .T. Stcrso, of 701 Coburn
St!, Akron, Ohio, tells in the foUowing
letter of another of those remarkable
cures i>i loriuiing,
disfiguring skin hu
mors daily made
by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, after
physicians, and all
else had failed: "I
feel it my duty to pa
rents of other poor
suffering babies to
tell you what Cuti
cura has done for
my little daughter.
She broke out all over her body with a
humor, and we used everything reeo'm
metided, hut without results. I ealled
in three doctor-, they all claimed they
could help her. but she continued to
grow worse. Her body was a mass of
sores, and her little face was being
eaten away; her ears looked as if they
would drop off. Neighbors adi ised me
to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
before I had used half of the cake of
Soap and box of Oin tinen t the sores had
all healed, and my little one's face and
body were as clear as a new-born babe's.
I would not be without it again if it
cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever."
