Is't aot a fact that the people of
Alaska are approaching the coming
election lor the local legislature
without seeming to fee very much
interested? TSJa lack of interest
is dug no doubt to tho empty sort
of session the first one proved to
be and very few Tesults secured.
It hag gradually dawned on the
people of the territory t)»at the leg
islature they received from con
gress was a sort of a plaything to
keep them from srying. The legis
lators went dowa to Juneau filled
with the great glory that was theirs,
and the ambition to gain distinc
tion welled up in their bosoms. A
f'»w of them at least were fired
■with tha desire to shake the terri
tory with their forensic thunder on
the floor of "tha house" or "sen
ate" as the Jokers at "Washington
designated the innocuous toy gun
they threw at Us as ar. Impatient
mamma throws a teddy bear to a
squawling two-year-old. The legis
lature, however, apparently thought
the bauble was a oannon and shot
off more than it would stand for.
To repair the damage congress has
passed a new law, but this seems
to have been also useless. It is
really about timu we get a proper
weapon and we surely can pick som
good men to wield it.—Seward Gate
way.
The safety revolver must now
be recognized as Quite as harmless
as the safety razor and safety
motorcycle.
Why speak of armies "pitted
against each other," asks some un
tutored exchange. Because Belgium
is the cockpit of Europe, of
course.

Useful
New Invention
Enables Anyone to Play
Piano or Organ With
out Lessons
A Detroit musician has invented a
wonderful new system which enables
any person or little child to learn to
play the piano or organ in one even
ing. Even though you know abso
lutely nothing about music or have
never touched a piano or organ, you
can now learn to play in an hour or
two. People who do not know one
note from another are able to play
their favorite music, with this method
without any assistance whatever from
anyone.
This new system is called the
Numeral Method. Ws have secured
the sole agency from the inventor,
and, as we are desirous of at once
making it known in every locality,
we are making the following special
free trial and half-price offer to
everyone.
You are not asked to send any
money until you have tried and are
satisfied with the new method. We
are willing to send it to you on free
trial, and you will not have to pay
one cent unless you desire to keep it.
There are no express charges to be
paid, as everything will be sent by
mail. Simply write us a letter or
postcard saying: "Please send me the
Numeral Method on free trial." If
you are satisfied after trying it, the
Method and fifty different pieces of
sheet music will cost you only $5,
although the regular price of these
is $10. You should not delay writing,
as we shall not continue this
special half-price offer indefinitely.
Later on, the Method and fifty pieces
of music will be sold at the regular
price. Address Numeral Method

HAIR NATURALLY A3UNDANT.
When It la Free of Dnadniff, It Growl
IvxvHnatly.
Ka!r preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or Irritating affairs
that do no eartlily good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of
all hair trouble, and dandruff Is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand
ruff is to 1:111 the germ; and. so far. the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ Is Newbro's Herplcide—
