NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
“Musher” Will Be There the First
When a Gold Stampede
/ Is Started/
There Is a popular belief In the ex*
treme northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by a musher, and set
by any scientific polar expedition, sapp
the Sunset Magazine. This belief Ifl
based on the conviction that a gold
stampede will eventually be started
toward north latitude 90 degress, and
that the mushers will rush in wherd
arctic explorers have feared to tread.
So completely unknown to fame is this
newcomer in the raoe Car the pole that
to the majority of people the name sug
gests nothing but cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, whs
finds his most congenial theme ta
French-Candlan life, has made his read
ers familiar with “Marche-t’-en!” the
cry with which drivers of dog teams
urge forward their panting animals.
French-Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men In the far. north*
west, and American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs
on with the same cry, without, however,
understanding the French, which, in
their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to
“Muchon!” to this day an Alaska dog
driver’s equivalent for “Gee up!"
Dog drivers generally rush with the
team and therefore from “Mush-on” has
come the noun musher, used all over
Alaska and the Yukon territory to des
ignate a trailsman. The musher is gen
erally prospector, stampeder and trails
man all rolled into one, and Alaska trails
are such uncertain quantities that he
has frequently to make his own prece
dents over newly frozen sea and tracks
less snow. The musher achieves most
of his stampeding to new gold fields dur
j ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid
I sea becomes a highway and mighty
rivers need no bridging.
RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Haa
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir
postal card has assumed the dimensions
of a literary peril. What was once a
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way places
has become all but a universal mania,
says the New York Post. The Boston
post office reports handling 25,000 of
these yellow imps in a single day. The
so-called comic valentine once tainted
the postman’s bag. Its influence, how
ever, lasted but for a day, while the sou
venir postal card ceaseth not day nor
night to cry for a destroyer.
From the point of view of growing
popularity these postal cards but evi
dence anew the danger with which
modern mechanism is continually en
compassing the other handicraft arts.
The printed book has driven out illus
trated missal. “The quarter-sawed oak”
of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus
trated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and chromo lithograph
threatens the letter of friendship, travel
and description. The residuary field of
the epistolary art was long supposed to
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as
fills Horace Walpole’s six stout vol-1
umes of private letters has for over a!
century been disseminated in the news j
papers. Scientific news has long sine*
found similar media of publicity. But
the Intimate unbosoming of friend to
friend at a distance has held at bayy all
the devices of modern machinery unti'
the advent of this substitute for a real
letter.
SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Calisthenics Accompany the Words
of Neapolitans When Dis
cussing Weather.
“Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb
bells and ask him if he thinks it is like
ly to rain, and before his answer is
finished he will have taken enough
healthful exercise to last him all day.”
Once, says the London Clarion, a trav
eler sat with a friend in a cafe at
Nanles. Near them were two Italians
engaged in conversation. The younger
of the two seemed much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
clinging motions, as if climbing. Then
he seemed to be groping for cherries in
the air, as he reached right and left
above his head. Next, without slacken
ing hia conversation, he put the thumb
and forefinger of his left hand together,
and holding them before his eyes, went
through the careful movements of one
threading a small needle, and all the
time he talked.
Suddenly his manner changed. He
made overhand ,motions, as if throwing !
something. Then he apparently imitated j
a swimmer, and immediately afterward
described several circles with his left
hand, giving the impression of a rapid
ly revolving wheel.
Finally he leaned forward, and with
his right hand acted the part of a per
son endeavoring to put a key into a key
hole.
The traveler was overcome by curios
ity. He turned to his friend, who un
derstood Italian, and asked him what
the plot of the story was.
“Oh, nothing,” replied the other.'

! WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is serjously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
[ and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores. $1.00 per bottle.
