off. The lasAk&a say a
"Although a couple of the old
business houseg are moving away,
ther- still remain ia Skagway more
than twenty two mercantile estab

electric power and lighting plant.,
the head offices of the \V. P. and

An" the Alaskan is correct. Skag
way has had her "ups and downs"
like most towns. She has not had
as many "ups'* as the 8P>rit of her
enterprising citizeoia would enti
tle her to, or th© country to which

There is no town in Alaska which
was h' harder by war thau Skagwaj]
Yukon Territory and Northemd Brit

IKiwtr for four long yaers, and
that is the country Skagway impends
upon most.
Bur Skagway will come back.
She is the gateway to a resourceful
section of the North and she is

AUTO HAD LOST ITS SOUL
Mysterious Happening With Which, of
Course, the Owner Cojld Have
Had Nothing to Do.
This road burner was betting on a
•ure thing. "If my car will make 32
miles an hour," said-an Indignant own
er cI a flivver, who was haled Into
court for fracturing the speed law,
"1 11 make this policeman a present of
It." And the magistrate took the
speeder at his word by ordering the
cop to take a Joy ride. "But bear in
adnd," were the parting words of the
magistrate, "that if your automobile
la capable of that speed you automati
cally admit that the otf.eer is right
■bout the speed you were making, and
you will not only lose yvur car, but
will pay a $25 One besides." "You're
on, judge," said the automobillst. at
which the court pounded the gavel.
But the cop didn't win the auto. Half
an hour later he was back with his
prisoner. "Your honor," »aid the po*
Uceman, "that car, in Its present con
dition, wouldn't go a mile In a month.
We went over to the garage to get It
•nd it puffed, sneezed, whistled and
went on* block under protest. Me
chanically, about everything -is miss
ing but the windshield. Somebody
must have kicked the soul out of it
nine* I saw it. The car has been tam
pered with and there is no mistake
about It." The owner of the flivver
was fined >25 and made a brief speech.
In which he allowed that Justice hud
fled frvw the earth.
r- SQUEEZF HARDER yT
He Invented the "Explosion on the Lake Front
CHICAGO.—A good many men in the middle West and other parts of the
country will be Interested to know that "Dickie" Dean, originator of the
"exDloslon on the hike front" und the "turning around of the Masonic Temple"
/Tu.tumTtH' auitpiw I
around fos 4s —tfs
[AjrOH OERFULSrtKT-J
swindles, is dead. As confluence man,
"shell worker," saloonkeeper, and con
stable. Dean Had a picturesque career.
He was raised in "Smoky Hollow," on
the North side, and his early compan
ions were such characters as "Clabby"
Burns, "Tony" Allen. Eddie Hall, Jim
Davis, and Johnny Bingham.
The "Dickie" Dean gang, as it was
Called, was the first to swindle visitors
to Chicago by luring them to the lake
front to see "the explosion." This Is i
how the uarae was worked: A mem
ber of the gang—usually Denn himself—would accost a stranger on tiie street |
and ask to be directed to the lake front.' The stranger usually explained he j
was unacquainted In Chicago, and Dean then would impart the Information
that he overheard some men talking about a big explosion on the lake front.
If a policeman chanced to be near by Dean would ask for directions, and the
I unwittiHg stranger would accompany him to see "the explosion."
On reaching the late front, Dean and his victim would find three or four
'< men gambling. Dean would express curiosity and then lure the "sucker" Into
j the game.
It was Dean who also originated the incredible swindle of getting $5
i from gullible persons who wanted to see the Masonic Temple "turn around."
, After getting the money Dean would tell the victim he had to go to the base
( ment to give an order to the engineer, lie would disappear in an alley and
| the "sucker" would wait at the corner to set* the 21-story building turn around.

Healed Pimples
"My trouble began with pimples
on my face. They would start with
a red spot and come to a
head, and they were soft.
They were scattered all
over my face and itched
so that I irritated them
by scratching. My face
was disfigured while the
pimples lasted.
I tried many remedies but had
no success, and I was troubled with
the pimples for about four years.
Then I used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I fcund rtiief and when I had
used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cutnura Ointment I
was healed." (Signed) Ralph Gra

HER KINDLY DEED
♦

"Oh, girls—did you ever!"
The tennis group dropped bat and
bafl and ran to the high garden hedge
and peered through It. Coming down
the road, leading a sleek, comfortable
looking cow, was Ruymond Worth.
He had the manly stride and whole
some, healthy face of a young farmer.
He was not such, but bis father had
been one and early rural training had
left Its Impress.
He colored slightly as he noted the
group beyond their leafy shelter. Their
twitterings hurt and embarrassed him.
He hurried his steps and winced a» the
echo of suppressed laughter reached
him, for he was oversensitive and toe
had made out Cella Willis beyond the
hedge. She had not joined in the ridi
cule, but Raymond did not know that.
He sighed heavily. He was neither un
couth nor Ignorant, but he wascon**
sclous that he did not exactly line'up'
to the standard of the average young
man of the town as to the finer social
entitles.
Not that he was not Invited to tbeir
various gatherings, but he was plain
in manner and speech; he did not
"shine," he was practical and did not
enter tnto Idle folly. His patents were
dead and had left him quite an estate,
but he wasted no time at the village
billiard hall, visited the property ha
owned dally and did not disdain to
wear bis working suit and lend a help
ful hand where bard work pressed.
Raymond led a rather lonely life.
With the exception of Mary Dorr, an
old-time family servant, he had no
company. She made thinga neat and
comfortable, but she was now on tha
shady side of life and be felt the lack
of companionship of his own age.
When he led the cow into the barn
Mary came outand joined him.
"Oh, dear! what a handsome, tine
looking animal," she commented. • It
took her back to the old times and her
dimmed eyes brightened. "But why in
the world did you buy her?"
"I didn't," answered Raymond. "Mr.
Lane, the farmer. Is closing out. Ha
owed me a bill and I had to take the
cow In payment."
"What are you going to do witk
ber?"
"Sell her to some other farmer."
"Yes, I guess that Is best, although
she'd make It seem more homelike and
natural to have her around," said
Mary, longingly. "She's a beauty, good
tor six quarts morning and Bight But
what would one do with the extra milk?
I'm getting too old to attend to all
that. We'll have some rare sweet
cream over tomorrow, though."
Raymond loaded some beards Into a
light wagon next morning, is*agat
his holdings was a larga tenement
house In a poor quarter of the town.
A porch needed some repairs, and ke
plauned to attend to thia, get home at
noon and take1 the cow across country
to a farmer to whom he knew he could
sell It. He had just completed his
wort: on the porch when he noticed an
acquaintance, a young doctor, learlag
the house.
"Somebody sic*, Doctor Alien r dm
Inquired.
"More than one, Worth," eanie tka
reply, gravely spoken. "It'» th«
babies. There's nine Httle ones coop»d
up 4n those close, crowded- rooma. Tow
do your duty In the way afVeepttof' np
good sanitary conditions, and the Tea
tllatlou Isn't bad,' but It's the diet.
Those children are Just wasting away
for the need of fresh, wholesome milk.

5* . f. i.
they fakfi' to, wioi mint doubted *m
price. The nine will be Are before the
summer la over if the babies don't get
better nourishment."
Reymend stood for some moments
absorbed in deep thought Then be
Went to one of the lower fiats. Here
lived'Mrs. Wood, a widow, who sup
ported herself by sewing. She had a
son. Hardy, who was lame lo one limb
and who helped the family Income by
attending to a newspaper stand morn
ings.
"Mrs, Wood," spake Raymond, "you
can help me oat with a certain prob
lem, and Hardy can earn a couple of
dollars a Week extra. I wish to pre
sent a milch -cow to the tenement for
the benefit of the babies, you to take
charge of milk distribution and Hardy
to take' care of the animal and milk
her, an art!can soon teach him."
Mother "and son were enraptured
with the Idea. "Yon are bestowing a
rare blesslag," said Mrs. Woods. "Miss
Willis and her sewing circle do a great
deal in providing clothing for the little
ones, but-you iare bringing them life,
health and-happiness."
The milk undertaking brought great
lptere#t and satisfaction to Raymond.
The little ones throve and the most
pleasurable duty of Raymond was in
providing feed and comfort for Molly.
Ob* da/ Raymond, visiting Molly's
quartern, caught the echo of voices. He
thrilled, lira. Wood* was telling the
story of his benefaction to Miss Willis.
The latter stood caressing the placid,
pleasant animal, and, noticing Ray
mood, extended her hand. She did not
speck. Her limpid eyes met his own
with a grateful glance and then she
burst Into tears for sheer joy and hid
her fate upon Molly's sleek, velvety
neck.- '
And later she did not disdain riding
home In Raymond's truly democratic
wagon, and every time her glance met
his own he knew that each approving
glow of those lovely eyjes was drawing
them close* and closer to the portals
of mutual love.
