WAR TO END IX DECEMBER
The war will end in December, its
certain now. Someone received a
let'er in which the story is told
that a party of yeople were out
Jty riding when the auto broke
down. Ag it would require abou'
»u hour to fix the machine the
chauffeur told the party or a
<>psjr camp close by where they
could have their fortunes told.
Ut course the P^rty jumped at the
chance, 4nd one of the wouien ask
ed the gypsy fortune teller when
the war would end. She replied lu
December. The woman ^sked "Ar
y»rt» sure.'" •"Yes," replied the
gypsy, "just as sure as you will
Xicd your chauffeur dead when you
return to your machine." The part
returned all excited, and found the
chauffeur .had died of heart trouble
iu i he meantime.
OUR BOVS
We meet our young friends on I
their wsi to office or store or fac-1
lory or on errands of business, and
»i respect their industrious young
manhood. But if we meet these
young men iu khaki or in th
uniform of the jackles, why is it
that we a* once feel a more intimat
relation ship to them?
They belong to us; they have
become "our boys" not simply by
the wearing of a uuiform, but be
cause of what it means—that these
young men who wear the khaki or
the blue have pledged ther lives,
if ueed be, to defend our country.
Could there be a more altruistic
or i higher mission?
We do weli to call them "our
boys' for they are our own sworn
defenders—our only defeuse against
a ruthless and a bitterly anti-Am
erican foe. Jhese young men have
put aside the ambitions of their
business or industrial life to lay
ail on the altar of our common
country. And this is why you hear
men and women Bay proudly as
they are passing: "God Mess them:"
Tne men feel fatherly ownership in
ea h one of them, and the
•women, in true motherly fashion,
at* hajtting sweaters and socks for
"*omt ot our boys." Even at the
Rooserolt meeting many of the
wumti yerg knitting and the
oitedles were flying fast except whe
the workers stopped to cheer.
Wa shall not cease in this genera
ilon, »t least, to have a very inti
mat* feeling of relationship for
"o«r boys," Just as another genera
tion loyed "the boys in blue."
—Chicago Evening Poet.
Someone suggested that in as
much as some of the crew of the
Manhattan were on three of the
rcceatl; wrecked boat9, and looted
the Alki, an investigation should be
started to see what nationality they

"A BLOW BELOW THE BELT"
LIVERY DOLLAR that you send out of Skagway for goods that may
be had in Skagway is a blow at the growth of your home city—"A
Blow BtSow The Belt." <] Every dollar that you spend in Seattle or
other cities for job printing that you may have done at the Daily Alaskan
office is a blow to your home paper—"A Blow Below The Belt." IJ These
thoughtless out-of-town purchases in the aggregate are hurting business in
Skagway and in tome respects are hurting the hand that feeds your mouth.
<J The business houses of other cities contribute nothing to the maintenance
of Skagway institutions. They sell none of the commodities that cannot be
purchased here. <1 If you get your income from Skagway real estate, it your liv
ing comes from a Skagway salary, if you in any way are dependent on Skagway

Air Gun Nuisance
A meeting of the town council
was held recently in Wrangell to
consider the air gun nuisance. Boys
have been using such guns to
>ireak street lights, window panes,
and kill and maim birds.
Walks Off Dock
& cry of distress was heard re
cently in Wrangell when a pass
enger off the steamer Despatch
walked off the Columbia and North
ern dock, falling into four feet of
•>rinv water. It is said the cold
wa'ers had a wiving effect upon
his sense of equilibrium.
.Vrrested For Seditious Speech
Conrad M. O. Eines was, arrest
ed th» other day in Juneau on the
charge of using seditious speech In
ralsiug about President Wilson.
Fairbanks Embezzler Arrested
Acting on a telegraph order from
Fairbanks one of the deputies re
cently arrested S. H. Milwee, at
torney or Fairbanks, while passing
through the Capital City on the
steamer Alaska. Milwee is charg
ed with emezzblement.
Passengers Oa Victoria Not
Allowed To L&od la Seward
A game of cards, many* drinks,
then a general dispute, the whole
trouble being added to by a couple
of women, and the subsequent de
velopments — a stabbing affray —
that was one of the reasons why
passengers aboard the Victoria were
not lauded in Seward yesterday
morning.
tnt-iai; Has Fit And
Loses Life In Boat
Simeon Cherinoff, a native of
latitlek, was drowned off Ellamar
a short time ago when he and a
companion, were out paddling in a
bldarka. Cherinoff suddenly took
one of his violent fits and before
hia partner could row to the shore
Cherwojf became so rough that he
'urned the craft over. The partner
climbed on tog of the boat and
managed to reach shore but before
he could get help Cherinoff had
drowned.
Two Hunters From Seward Missing
Much apprehension for the safety
of two hunters who left Seward re
cently to hunt bear at Ialick bay is
felt. Ben Sweasy and "Bill" Weav
er left Seward for the bay on Oc
tober 3 3 and have not been heard
from ud to a recent date.

ONLY 25 SHOPPING DAYS LEFT

When Mother ami Father and 1
All buy a pair of shoes
Vne bill is $27
Tile winter coal bill is $75
instead of $45 or $50.
Wo have three meatless days a wee
instead of one.
And even then the Butcher
Takes $20 away from us
Every four weeks.
The family purse
lias palpitation of the heart
Every time we eat
At our house.
Mother is craftily
Makjng her own bread now—
Mostly (graham—
Winch is iuvalid fodder,
Aud we have cut out eggs,
Aad Father is getting so weak
He can't even swear
With any enthusiasm,
He seems to have a lot of
Fortitude that is
Not entirely Christian.
The taxes are <*ue
Aud there is a paving tax
Just about ripe,
And all of us
Have got to buy overcoats.
Motaer is making Red Cross
bandages
And Father is up to the chin
In liberty bonds
On the installment plan .
We are all strong for the flag
And for our soldier boys,
But, as Mother suggests.
If this keeps up much longer
Notody will have to call her out
To fight;
The whole family is ready to fight
Right now—
Germans, or anybody—
Xobody barred.
Say in; which,
I will now close.

One Weak Spot
Mapy Skagway People Have a Weak
Part and Too Often it's the
Back
Many people have a weak 6pot.
Too often it's a bad back.
TwiiigeB follow every sudden
twist.
Dull aching keeps up, day and
night.
Backache is oftcu from weak kid
neys.
In. such cases a kidney medicine
is needed.
Down's Kidney Piiis are for weak
kidneys.
For Dackache and urinary ills.
Good proof of merit is the fol
lowing statement.
James Cubbon, Mgr. Victor Clean
ing aad Dye Works, 1208 Yesler
Way, Seattle, Wash., says: "My
kidneys were in bad shape and
every fime I bent over it seemed
as though my back would break.
The kidney secretions were unna
tural, Deing scanty, painful and ir
regular in passage. My work as a
tailor kept me bent over and that
made m° suffer ell the more . 1
wag lam© and s'iff all over and
could hardly straighten up. It wasnt
any time before Doan's Kidney Pills
had helped me' and I was soon
cured of every sign of the trouble."
X rice 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Cubbon had. Foster-Mll
