Seward Gateway: The practice
qf "knocking" reaches the xenith
o» its inglorious -career .in. small
towns. The nearest weapon at
hnu»i for the punishment of some
cut we do not like, or against
yh>m we have Borne grudge, is the
wagging o-f the tongue. Men are
accustomed to raise their eyes to
Ucuven in horror when dilating up
on the gossiping of the fairer sex,
but even in this respect women.are
thur superiors.
The masculine sex as a jvhole
wculd probably disown the male
backbiter and woman would rightly
consider htm unaexed, .so that he
could be regarded &s a disgrace to
uo sex. which is some consolation
fcr all sexes.
The backbiter . who wears pants
is usually found emitting his venom
a* anyone who in r.ny sense has
acuieved even loca'. success. Prov
idence has provided him with that
litt'e spit which is given to some
varieties of toads and cats for their
protection. He roams around whis
pering his calumnies to all.who are
v.iliing to listen as the poisoner
drops his pellets in the wells. He
even becomes heroic In his expres
sions of intention to inflict bodily
injury on someone who, of coiurae,
is out of hearing. In a large city
he could neveT hope to cover the
ground, but in a small town he
finds it comparatively easy to In
oculate the whole community with
the virus which Is Invariably the
sfctetion of an unsanitary soul.
We should all be on our guard
against such curses. Some day
thu man who Insinuatingly tries to
poison your mind against another,
may make yourself his victim.
Preparedness of Navy
Necessary to Pre
serve Peace
By Congressman WILLIAM M CALDER
of New York
** ***********#*********+*■*
DT7RIXG my ten years of serr
ice in the house I always
voted to build two battle
ships a year. 1 am in favor of con
tinuing the program of building
two battleships a year for at least
the next six
years unless
an interna
tional agree
ment can be
obtained by
the great
maritime
powers that
they shall
gradually re
duce their
naval arma
ment. Pre
vious to the
was so situated that we did not
need to compete in the matter of
the size, of our navy with Great
i'ritain, Germany, Russia, France
and Japan, but the result of that
war, bringing to us Porto Rico,
Guam, the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii and since then the building
of the Panama canal, .compelled
this nation to maintain a first class
navy at the highest state of effi
ciency.
THE PREPAREDNESS OF THE1
NAVY IN ITS OCCUPATION OF i
VERA CRUZ—WHICH OCCUPA
TION, IN MY JUDGMENT, WILL DC> j
MORE ULTIMATELY TO SETTLE!
THE MEXICAN QUESTION WITH
OUT FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE
WAS SIMPLY AN EVIDENCE OF
THE NECESSITY OF THI8 COUN
TRY BEING CONSTANTLY PRE
PARED NOT TO DESTROY NA
TIONS AND MEN, BUT TO HELP
PRESERVE WORLD PEACE.
SYMBOLS AS SHOP SIGNS.
A Legacy From tho Old Days Whan
but F«w Persons Could Read.
The man on the street, anil especially
the man on the street In Manhattan,
does not realize that he Is every day
perpetuating la the signs that he uses
the customs of a people who could not
read. In the old days It was useless to
put up the sign "apothecary," because
few could read It. So the apothecary
decorated his shop front with a mortar
and pestle as a sign of his trade.
Wo can read now, most of us, but wo
cling to signs of this sort still. The
symbol lingers.
Here and there a barber tries to
throw off Its yoke by painting a sign
that reads "tonsorlal parlor," but the
normal barber shop proudly sets up Its
totem pole, which retains as a tradi
tion the silent but eloquent testimony
of the former practice on the part of
the barber of blood letting.
Similarly the pawnbroker hangs up
his trinity of golden balls because the
original pawnbroklng business was
started by a Medici, whose coat of
arms was charged with three golden
balls on a field of silver.
The wooden Indian signifies a to
bacco store because It was from the
Indians that the Idea of smoking orig
inally came. The noble red man has
thus been debased and doomed to hold
forth In effigy a bunch of cigars to both
the willing *\d the unwilling.
A boot thut swings as a sign says
plainly to every man. 'This Is a shoe
shop." The shoes within will wear
themselves out In the service of those
who buy them. A large wooden watch
onn mean only one thing, and that Is
that the sign owner Is a horologlst—

DREAMS THAT COME TRUE
And Those That Don't and the Work
ing* of the Sleep Mind.
Of course, some dreams come true.
The most hardheaded business man
will have to admit It. But the propor
tion of them? That's where people
differ.
Pew people. If any, sleep without
Ireaming, and even on the basis of only
one dream a night this would mean
over seventeen thousand dreams for
each person fifty years old. Vet few
of us can recall even seventeen oc
casions in which a coming event has
been forecasted tn a dream. The
prophecy tLat comes true Is remem
bered because the actual occurrence
brings to memory the concepts In the
dream, the others are forgotten.
Since our dreams aro woven from the
fabric of our lives, and our lives, after
all, run along In fairly narrow grooves.
It would be astounding If some of them
did not Juggle our Impressions In such
wise as to seem to forecast something
new. The mathematical doctrine of
chances alone suffices to Justify the
dreams that strlko right After all,
one In a thousand Isn't so many.
The dreams that give right answers
to problems, too, are evidences not only
of prophecy, but also of the existence
of a sleep mind which works differently
from the waking mind.
The sleep mind, which works by In
tuition, gains, as well as loses, by Its
freedom from the shackles of logic and
reason. Conclusions based on reason
are often utterly unsound, because we
do not know all the reasons, whereas
an intuitive conclusion, which is the
outcome of emotion, may be Inherently
right
Wherefore when a serious question
awaits decision it is net a sign of ln
determlaateness, but an evidence of
wisdom, to say, "1 wa.it to sleep on
that"
Quite unconsciously we do this some
times, believing the answer to be mere
ly a ruse to gain time. Truly our in
tent is to take a change of venue, to
have the point settled by the sleep
mlr.d, which is free from the shackles
of prejudice and custom.—New York

"Our minister," said Mrs. Okleastle,
"appears to be a real altruist"
"Oh, I think you must be mistaken,"
replied Mrs. Gotalotte. "It seems tu
me by the sound of his voice that he
must be a bass."—Judge.
Tightly Packed Cotton.
Egyptian cotton is generally packed
forty pounds to a cubic foot Pressing
cotton to this density does not injure
It in the least, provided the cotton is
packed under perfectly dry conditions

There 's e Heap of Solace In Being
Able to Depend Upon a 'Well
Earned Reputation
For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, .and
iead about the good work they
have done. What other remedy
'•ver produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Authon™ Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacorna, Wash., says:
' I iiad lameness across my kidneys
and Headaches and dizzy spells. I
suffered from a constant backache
when 011 my feet. I tried .every
thing but got nothing that would
remove the trouble until Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me. They quickly strengthened my
back and removed the lameness. 1
was sofin able to sleep well at night
and got up in the morning feeling
refreshed, instead of being more
tired than when I went to bed."
Prico 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Miller .had. Foster-Mil

Faber Is Some P;tcher.
John Collins of the Chicago White
Sox considers Faber u better pitcher
than Walter Johnson. "1 don't see
how a batter caii ever get a foul off
Faber's pitching when he is right"
said Collins. "I have batted against
him In practice when his curve and
fast ones were breaking pood, and 1
couldn't Judge the bal> to save my
life."
Different Doings.
"How Is your brother, the fashion
able expensive surgeon, doing?"
"He is cutting up high."
"Ana bow is your brother, the dentist
getting on?"
"Oh, he's plugging away."—Baltimore

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by loc.il applications, a» they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car. There Is
only one way to euro deafness, and that Is
by constitutional 'remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is Intlnmed you have a rumbling
sound or linperfcct hearing. and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be takon out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion. 1h a ring will be destroyed forever; nine
casrs out of ten aro caused by Catarrn,
which Ih nothing but on Inflamed condition
of the mucoti8 surfaces.
WV will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
