Protect Your Feet!!!
Tills cold, damp weather and the wet ground call
for good, substantial foot wear to protect your feet and
keep them dry and warm. Do you realize that your feet
must stand more of serious winter weather than any oth
er part of your body? With warm feet, it is prover
bial, your whole body is warm.
We call special attention to the Dr. McCullough
shoe—with cushion sole, leather lined, flexible outside
sole, rubber heels, which embodies the last word in shoe
construction, made on scientific principles.

SEATTLE, Sept. 25.—Kidnapped in
spirit and present only in the form of
a newspaper print of her photograph,
Miss Frances May Braid, the daught
er of Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred R aid, of
Seattle, braved the danger.? of north
ern seas last summer, comforted fish
ermen in their dreary, daily drudge,
and, like the good fairy, drew hun
dreds of floundering king salmon into
the nets of the waiting boatmen, says
the Times.
So was the startled miss informed
yesterday in a letter from Tyee, Alas
ka. Written in a neat, legible hand,
in poor English, and signed “ Big
Swede,” the epistle unfolded to the Se
attle girl her many wonderful feats
of the summer.
Each year the unidentified acquaint
ance told Miss Braid, fishermen of
Alaska cut the picture of some pretty
girl from the latest edition of the Se
attle Times before sailing time. They
post it in a conspicuous place in the
cabin. This girl becomes the mascot,
the guardian angel of the vessel.
When a big catch is landed, the pret
ty miss is fairly worshipped by the
gruff, hardened mariners of the north.
When the catch is small they know
they have displeased her and take
many steps to make amends. But
night and day during the trip she is
the inspiration, the spiritual guide of
their actions.
This year the honor fell to Miss
Braid. In the Seattle Sunday Times
of May 14, 1916, a picture of the Seat
tle girl was inserted by her friends in
commemoration of her sixteenth birth
day. A copy of the paper reached the
hands of the Alaska fishermen and im
mediately Miss Braid was “kidnap
ped”—by printed proxy—and ceremo
niously installed as queen of the 1916
catch. And bending under her new
burdens she put to sea with the hard
ened mariners, smiling serenely from
her place on the cabin wall.
Through rough weather and fair
weather she remained at her task of
cheering the men, that is, her picture
did. When the catch was large she re
joiced with them and when the fish
ran low she shared their sorrows.
Many has been the private conversa
tion between the pictorial likeness and
a real fisherman.
Then on August 24, the “ Big
Swede ” thought it was getting too
cold for her on the ship. He took the
picture from his cabin, sat down,
wrote a letter and enclosed the news
paper print, sent both by mail to Miss
Braid's Seattle home. It arrived yes
With the young woman’s permission
the letter is printed. It said:
“ I am sorry because you must
leave my boat and me. The weather
here is getting too cold for you here
and you are better off in Seattle.
We Alaska boys every summer cut
a picture of some pretty Tacoma—no,
I mean Seattle girl, from the Times
and take it aboard for good luck. And
this year you have certainly showered
good luck upon me. The best catch I
got was 38 salmon on a spoon hook,
and some of them we.ghed from 65 to
70 pounds, and you kept me real busy
that day.
“ You were a little seasick at the
time, though, and so you were not
able to help me pull the fish aboard.
But later on you were all right again,
and I guess you would be a good sail
or after a while.
“ This is a little joke, of course, and
you will please take it as such. If
you would like some nice, big seabird
eggs, I found this summer, I will send
them to you.
“ Best regards from Alaska and me.
“ BIG SWEDE, H. LEM."
OLDTIMER DROWNED.
Pasqualo Whitte, a well known old
timer of this camp, met death some
time yesterday by drowning in the
Chatanika river. Word of his death
was telephoned to the federal officials
here last night by Charles Pyne, from
Vault City. The body was found and
recovered yesterday by Mr. Pyne and
his partner John Carlson, who are op
erating on Our creek. The body was
taken to a safe place by the two men
and there left to wait the coming of
Commissioner Sam Weiss of Chatani
ka, who will visit the scene of the
drowning today and have the corpse
brought to Olnes where an inquest
will be held tomorrow. The body was
found approximately three miles be
low the mouth of Vault creek on the
Chatanika river.—Fairbanks Times.
