WAR AND RELIGION.
Again comes the horrors of a holy
war. Men are butchering each other
in the name of religion. Persia is
runuiug red with blood over a belief
which has no foundation other than
iu the fancy of a childish race. The
state religion is Moslem and Moham
med is the prophet, but the country
1; full of Christians or half converted
Armenians. When a Christian and a
Mohammedan meet each other over
there they commence reaching for
for their knives and if a false motion
is made ou either side, a holy war
is started. Then the Christian news
papers lay the blame on the Moham
m?-dau heathen aud the Mohammedan
newspapers lay the blame ou the
Christian heathen, aud the only time
they gat together is when they are
both taking a crack at the Jews, the
most harmless of them all. The Ar
menians are pernicious disturbers and
when backed up by a bunch of over
zealous missionaries they can create
more trouble than their skin-deep con I
verted carcasses are worth, it costs
?t?ree thousand dollars to convert one
ol hose heathens. Three thousand
dollars would take three large Amer
ican families out of the body destroy
ing and soul polluting environments
o a New York sweatshop aud briug
them to free ? out-door Alaska and
start, them good homes and make
healthy, intelligent citizens of them.
We are not sure, but we think that's
what Christ would do. ? Ketchikan
Miner. ?? -' '?

A GOOD SUGGESTION
The North Star heartily endorses
lhe suggestion made by the Skagway
.? laskan for an Alaskan Editorial As
sociation. Most assuredly there is
power in united action. Bach paper
??an enumerate many things which
U has been vainly striving to over
come with a view to improving its
service.. The present press service,
the delay* in receiving messages, and
the "made-to-order" service in which
several papers mast take the same
service in order to get anything like
a reasonable rate, are but a few
things which readily suggest them
selves as being good subjects for
united action.
. Moreover, as the Alaskan says, an
editorial association would "end to
raise the standard of the ethics of
the profession. The North Star be
ii?-r?s that the Alaskan press, as a
whole, wiU compare favorably with
that of any community outside. The
few examples to the contrary, where
"good angola"- furnish the support
ar? hardly worth considering, for the
papers don't amount to much any
way. An editorial association, more
over, would give the editors a chance
to exchange views so that they would
be brought into closer touch. ? Cor

THE WEAVER OF SNOW.
IK polar moons when the moonshine
glimmers.
Anil the frost fans whirl.
And whiter than moonlight the Ice
flowers grow.
And the lunar rainbow quivers and shim
mers.
And the silent laughers dance to and fro.
A stooping girl
As pale as pearl
Gathers the frost flowers where they j
blow.
And the licet foot fairies smile, for they
know
Tbe Weaver of Snow.
And she climbs at last to a berg set free
That drlfteth slow.
And she sails to the edgo of the world
we see
And waits till the wings of tho north
wind lean.
Like an eagle's wings o'er a lochan of
green.
And tho palo stars glow
On berg and floe: * * *
Then down on our world, with a wild
laugh of glee.
8he empties her lapful of shimmer and
sheen.
And that is tho way In a dream 1 have
seen
The Weaver of Snow.
There Is more Catarrh In this sec
tlon of tho country than all other (lis
eases put together, and until tho
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed. local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced It Incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It Is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspooiiful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
ore hundred dollars for any case It
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

WHEN A MAN GOES OUT?
He doesn't understand why there are
never any towels on the towel rack
and where In the nation they keep
their towels. They seem always to
be hilling away the things appertain
ing to the comfort of the house, and a
man never can Hud them.
Who In creation has been using his
razor and what for? It Is a pity that
a man's own private utennils are to be
made free with by everybody in the
house who happeus to be in need of
the services of a chiropodist.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DD
Thoir Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
i
All the blood la the body passes
through the kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
Ur Is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
bearing, dizziness Irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 6G9 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
| in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the 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 the most severe pains across
| the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
j kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me at once and contiiiue
use on'urely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
| and have recommended them on
j many occasions."
