The (lean uij day for Skagway,

it- w.iJo ^iiy plans for the bet
tering of the conditions around
yc arhonie—how about thos% ashr«
tha* are out in the back alley — J
have you noticed that th© pile is
an aglv uncouth, foundation oil

Thi.' detestable, odious, circulat

doing absolutely nothing but harm
to the speaker, auditor and per
son of —gossip, that's it—trample it
boii._.u'. your heel as you would the
most viperous reptile. How can this
bo tindicated from our midst? Nat
until ;>eople realize the harm they
are doi;!g by spreading it, not ui
til «hey can comprehend the seri
oasness of it and the awful biti
contained therein.
We osier defines it as "idle talk."
This being the case certainly 'he
busy cK'n has no time for it. Tha
busy a>au is the successful urn,
look around you, size the person up
that ktt: loose his next morsel of
j;o.-siji and see how high lie la rj

he livt.s. Soon you will aeg tha'
it is the incompetent, incapable ani

stop is right now. Make if one of i
your today's resolutions. If

"A greyhound is probably the fastest
creature that moves upon the eurtb,"
says a breeder of dogs. "It is on rec
ord that a greyhound beat the famous
race horse Flying Chllders. An abso
lute trial between horse and greyhound
is difficult, because, while the horse
caa be ridden at top speed. It Ls im
possible to insure that the greyhound
will run all he can. But n dog that
can start fifty yards behind a hare and
overtake It within another fifty—and
this ls about what the greyhound does
—must surely be faster than anything
else that runs and has his superior
only among the birds."—Detroit Free

A cnmeu i tick.
The Chinese are jmst masters in the
irt of trickery, and some of their tricks
are very ingenious. Oue is a method
by wTikh they can make a postage
stamp do service almost Indefinitely.
The sender of the letter passes over
the stamp some paste which In appear
ance la not unlike the gum at the back
of a stamp. When the stamp Is oblit
erated It takes the Impression, but it la
not even "skin deep." The receiver of
the letter must be a confederate, and
he passes a damp sponge over the
stamp. This removes the paste and
with It the postal mark, so until the
stamp Is worn out It can be used over
and over again.

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do to ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo. O., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the Wood and mucous sur

American Citizens.
Ill practice there Is uo sucli thing an
a "citizen of the United States." Such
"citizen" Is about as mythical as the
mermaid. In order to vote, for In
stance, one must bring his citizenship
down to the concrete and become a
citizen ol* New York or of some one of
the other states. You cannot vote in
New York unless you are a citizen of
New York, and the same is true of ail
the other states. The "citizen of the
United States" Is a very vague gentle
man.—New York Aniericau.
NO REASON FOR IT
You Are Shown A Way Out
There can be no reason why a;iy
reader of this who suffers the tor
tures of an aching back, the au
uoyance of urinary disorders, the
pains a..d dangers of kidney i'ls
will fail »o heed the word of one
who has used Doau's Kidney Fills
and found relief. The following is
ccnvincing proof.
W. C. Johnston, 1021 Mill St.,
Salem, Ore., says: "I was afflict -d
for <wo years with kidney trouble,
caused by exertion and colds set
tling on my kidneys. I had pains
iu my back, across my kidneys. My
back ached at night and was lame
in the morning. I tired easily and
fell languid and nervous. I aUo
h;ifi aoadachcs and dizzy spells and
my sigh', blurred. I fiually began
us:: g Deans Kidney Pills and I felt
better afttr I had taken one box.
I stlil use Doau's Kidney Pills
once in awhile, when a cold set
tles in my kidneys and they never
fail to lielp me."
Price 50c, at all deale.s. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
ge* Doau's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Johnston had. Foster
