CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS
Kaiser Bill, you say that we are in
this war to get something for our
selves. to secure territory. Caught
with the goods! We are in this war
to secure territory. Look at the map
of the western hemisphere. Kaiser
Bill, and we'll show you the territory
we intend to secure.
It is hounded on the north by the
Dominion of Canada, on the south by
the Gulf of Mexico, on it> two coasts
by two great oceans.
'Phis territory was inhabited by a
peace loving, cjuiet. contented folk
pretty soft, you called them You
didn't think that they were out to
secure territorv You figured that to
take things away from tie-in would he
like taking money from the children's
bunk, didn't you. Kaiser Bill? In your
lucid intervals if kultur is subject
tn h a weakness you have an
other think coming!
Kaiser Bill, you just ought to hear
thos. old fellows who wore the Pdue
and those fellows who wore the gray,
forget their half century argument as
to why Lee didn't win at Gettysburg,
in their whole-souled rivalry to “pan”
you! Why? Because you are a kai
ser? Oh. no; we title hating Ameri
cans until rally love a kaiser next best
to til** mo; t potent grand master of
the lodge. No. Bill—not because you
are a kaiser. but because you are you!
' This territory which we are going
to secure from you is well worth the
securing. It is all we have. It is all
we want. It ha the best government
on earth «*\<•»*pt just before election
day, and then, thank goodness! it is
so gloriously bad that any old party
<: n have tl • priceless privilege of ad
mitting that they couldn't help but
improve things.
Wo took the title deeds of the prom
ises fr< n a race who in their savage
days acted a bit like the Hohenzol
lerns— only the Indians mercifully
tomahawked and scalped and burned
they didn’t put powdered glass in
the baby's nilk or poison germs in
th«* ho -pit; Is Then suddenly we
found that we had to secure our
promises all over again, because
tln ro was an armed maniac in the
i,o\t street shooting up civilization.
The only new territory we expect
to secure. Kaiser Bill, is six feet of
earth for what is left of Junkerthum!

LOCAL SERBIANS DONATE
TO RED CROSS WORK
—
There are six Serbians who reside i
In Cordova, and they are all patrt-j
otic men whose sympathies are j
strongly on the side of the allies.,
Their number was augmented by one;
more, John Vukomlr of Anchorage,
while the steamship Alaska was In'
port on Saturday night. The latter
is on his way to the Macedonian front;
and In order to properly comniemo-,
rate his leaving Alaska a supper was
given In his honor by his local fellow
countrymen. The evening was pleas
antly spent In patriotic talks. In
which all predicted an early and de
cislve victory for the allies. The
speakers also expressed their appre
ciation of the valuable assistance be-1
Ing rendered by the Cnlted States in
the war. and felt grateful for the
noble way In which it had responded
to the call to save humanity from
the tyrannical oppression of the Huns.
As a fitting wind-up to the little S
supper a collection was taken up
and $46 was raised for the Serbian j
Ited Cross work, the donors and the
amounts being as follows;
c.us Stipovlch. $10; Tom Ourkovlch, j
$ 1 o; It Bulatovich. $10; M. Savorich,
$5; M. Hurolch, $:S; It. Stetlch, »T

BE DONE AT BROOKS

\ccording to all indications, the To
lovana may have one of ?h • quietest 1
winters of its existence, condition- hr,
ing such that the outlook for a lively
winter season is not favorable. It is
impossible at tlds time to forecast
what work will be^lone on the claims
or how many plants will be working.;
Present indications are that a lot of
prospecting will be done during the,
! vinter in the neighborhood of Brooks I
and prohahB toward tin* Rampart
country. (lunnison creek may also
have more work done on ,it. as it is
developing into a promising prospect.
\ good many have gone to the Beaver
country and to Ophir, the scene of the1
| new strike
The social part of the camp will be
very quiet, as several of the ladies
have announced their intention of go
ing Outside for the winter, and some,
may never return. This will greatly!
reduce the winter’s pleasures, which
have become a feature of the camp.

Jury Sets .Fancy Price on Young Lady’s Big Toe
NEW YOHK.—Brooklyn Is offering $17,500 for big toes. Tills is believed to
be the record price for such articles. As there Is no present indication
the offer will he Increased, It looks like a good time for those persons who
are in need of money to exchange toes
for cash. Nearly everyone could get
along with fewer toes, especially In
these parts, where the car straps are
hung so low one doesn’t need toes to
stand on. Another thing about cashing
In a few toes Is that It will make no
j difference In your appearance. No one
need know that your sudden prosperity
is due to your having obtained an ab
solute divorce from them.
While the Brooklyn price referred
to a big toe, no doubt you could ar
range to get a tidy sum for one of yonr smaller ones In case you don’t feel
like parting with either of your grown-up toes. Before chopping any of them
off. however, It might be well to submit them to the supreme court Jury of 13
good men and true—or as much so us Brooklyn men can be—who decided
that the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad company ought to pay $17,500
to Miss Fannie C. Clamertlle for removing the big toe of her left foot without
first having obtained her permission.
Miss Clamerllle wus greatly attached to the big toe until July 31. 11)17,
when, she alleges, she was permanently separated from It by being thrown
from an open car.
Immediately following the verdict those in the courtroom began specu
lating on how many toes they could spare and keep from tipping over. More
than one man was heard to observe he would be willing to have one of his
toes cut off close to his knee for half the amount.
Nothing In the evidence disclosed that Miss Clamerllle's Idg toe was other
than the ordinary, matter-of-fact, well-behaved big toe. No superior intelli
gence wus claimed for It. There was no suggestion of It huvlug been trained
for any special purpose. In short. It was Just a plain, honest, inore-or-lcss '■
blunt big toe. a toe that minded its own business and did not Interfere with
other toes. The fact that such a toe could earn that much money wus what
started the spectators figuring out how much Income tax they would have to
pay on certain amounts.
