The Malamute Kid, who has been
at work on the government railroad

there is a strong probability of the
railroad never becoming finished, ac
cording to interior papers. When the
Malamute Kid went to work for the
* government he took along with him
his 103 dogs, as any Afaska dog-owner
would naturally do. It is said that the
dogs made life a burden to the rail
road workers, although they were the
pride of the Kid’s heart. When they
told the Kid he must kill the dogs or
get them off the reservation he
stopped long enough to draw one
breath, and exclaimed: “What! me
kill a thousand dollars’ worth of dogs
for a measly $90 a month job on a
fdilroad!” And shortly thereafter he
was on his 'way. That is why the rail
road has not been connected up be
tween the two towns.

HIE BIBLE
This book contains the mind of God,
the state of man, the way of salva
tion, the doom of sinners, and the
happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy; precepts binding; histories
true; decisions immutable. Read is
to be wise, believe it to be safe, and
practice it to be holy. It contains
light to direct you, food to support
you and comfort to cheer you. It’s
the Christian charter. Christ is its
Grand Subject. Our good its design,
and glory of God its end. It should
rule the heart and guide the feet.
Here Heaven is opened and Hell dis-'
closed. Will reward greatest labor
and condemn those who trifle with it.
Read it slowly, frequently and prayer
fully. Then come and study with us
