A TYPICAL ALASKA SOURDOUGH
The Tacoma News of recent date
says:
In Alaska costume — mackinaw

ber shoe packs—Charles C. Tousley,
aged 44, a tjpical Alaska sourdough,
who has been Berving; as packer for
the geological surrey in Alaska,
with feadquarters at Anchorage, Al

day and enlisted.
He finished bis season's work in
N'ovember and after closing up his
affairs started for Tacoma | three
weeks ago.
He enlisted today as a private
in the remount depot service.
He gave up a $100 a month job
and spent $65 boat fare to enter the

THE TEST
"iTest of a man is the fight ho
make*,
The grit that hp daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and
takes
I Fate's numerous bumps and
6IOW8.
A coward can smile when there's
naught to fear.
When nothing his progerss bars.
But '1 takes a man to stand up and
cheer
While Eome other fellow stars.
"It isn't the victory, after all,
Hut the fight that a brother
makes;
Th* man, who, driven against the
wall.
Still stands ur erect and take.3
Th» blows of fate with his head
held high,
Bleeding, and bruised and pale,
Is the man who'll win In the by
and by.
For he isn't afraid to fall.
"It's the bumps you get and the
jolts you get
Ai d the shocks tlm your eour
astands,
T'ip hours of sorrow and vain re
gret.
The prise that escapes your
hands,
I;' test your mettle and prove
your worth.
It isn't the blows yQu deal,
Bu* the blows you take on the
good old earth
That shows I* your stuff la real."

Haw Exolamationt Originats.
"Halloo" and "bunuh," which are
among the exclamations in common
use. can lie trawl to curious origins.
The author of "The Queen's English*
tells us that the people of Camwood
forest, Leicestershire. wheti they wish
to hall any one ut a distance call out
not "halloo." but "hnlloup." This, he
takes It. Is a survival of the times
when one crleil to another "A loup! A
loup!" or. as we' hIioiikI say. "A wolf!
A wolf!" "Hurrah." mi-online to high
authority, is derived trout the Slavonic
"huraj," "to purudise,' a buttlecry
which voiced tLe prevailing belief that
all soldiers who fell in the tijjlit went
straight up to paradise. — Pearson's
Weekly.

If l stopped, lifted or made a
piiss»ep. darting pains shot thru
rav kidneys causing the worst kind
of suffering. I got a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, being told
they were the best medicine to be
had for Dai us in the back and oth

the uain and distress and I have
never had a return of the com
piamt." (Statement given October
