FLEA DOPE
There was a maa la oux towa
A11J La wiia wondrous weeso
And tho' he oftea changed bis
clothes
He, fit ill was full ol leas.
They capered up and down. hi8
frame
la most atrocious glee
Ana eveiy time they caped, they
bit—
Kach individual Ilea.
He rubotd himself with powder
He sloshed himself with paste
And still the Ilea* kept growing fat
Till >hey flayed him to the waist.
He then came to . tlaska
When he'd traveled far and wide,
And finally reacted Dawson,
Where they, all froze up. and died.
The moral of my talg is this:
if in his great distress
He'd only stopped At Whitahorse,
They'ed have dle<l of loneliness.

If 1 had my about it every
ship in the Alaska service would
have to leara the following ditty
by heart:
Mother may I go out to sail?
Yes, my darling daughter.
Travel up and dowa thq coast,
But u lease stay oa the water.
—
Don't gossip, Prob&hly all you
lack is the opportunity.
"Let your light so ahlae." But
don't burn the other fellow with
the flame.
Be swlrt to resent a wrong. Be
swifter to forget It.
"Seek peace and ;pursue it" May
be that's the reason they chased
Ford out of England.
The difference 'between the In
ternational Iron Workers and the
International Bowling Team is that
the I. B. T. doa't valk out every
time they strike.
There's a woman In this towa
who does not believe la luck. I'll
betcha she neyer played poier or
Howled.
MY P.'J,
She's jus*, my pal, God fclcss her.
There ain't uo seutiment
Abou* a denied old sourdough
Who's scarcely got a cent.
She como with me In '98
From the regions down below,
No, I don't mean what you mean— j
It's the States 1 mean you know, j
I took her from, a right good home ^
When we both were young and j
strong;
She favored me> to an easy life
Mongst the ColkB where #he really
belonged.
Wo followed each stampede ets It
come;
Many a rush she saw';
She'd cook and w.och and sew like
a girl
And rusMe a pack IIIcq » Bquaw
Never a""munnur ia all the years,
Never a kick or a sob;
She saw her children born, and die
Aud hid her grief from tie mob.
We had occasional plckis.'s
Which wasn't always t>a4,
But the poke wa'n't never »» heavy
That heftia' it made you saol,
We've always made a ltvfa'
But never could save enough.'
To buy that little cottage *ttd
farm,
So's to raise our tardea stuff.
It's the women *of Alaska
Who bear the heaviest cross, j
Keepiu' up their courage
No matter vh&t the Joes. I
Always longln'e for old home ties,
Yearnta' for the States
And books and music f-nd all them
things
Which they givo UP for their
*> mates.
We trample on their <eeliu's
And bruise their tonedr hearts,
Bujt they're always there forgivin,'.
Pretendin' it leaves no smarts.
No love »o the full can repay them
Remember that my friend,
Tie tears we shed when they aro !
dead
Don't mean much in tho end. |

Try a little kindness.
Soothe the weary souled
And thank your God you've got tho
chance
Before that heart gTOws cold.
She's just your pal, God bless her ,
Always staunch and true,
And when you strike your balance
'Twas YOUR WOMAN that made
you.

PLACER GOLJD STRIKE
NEAR COLD BAY
That a gold strike of importance
has been made near Cold bay away
out on the Alaska peninsula is the
statement conveyed in a letter just
received by Nate White from Wil
liam Itustschow, a business man
of that quarter. The letter "was
written over two months ago and
just after two minors had returned
from the strike with $300 in gold
dust which they had sluiced from
the new creek. The writer of the
letter describes tho scene of the
strike as between Cold Bay and a
place called Katmal Bay. Cold Bay
is ooposite Unga island on the pen
insula. The new creek has been
called Three Pine creek and Mr.
Itustschow himself haa visited the
place and seen the sluicing so that
theTe is no doubt as to the au
thencity of the information. So
well does the outlook seem to
him that he expr3ases the belief
that there will be a stampede from
several quarters, including Seward.
The creek runs right into the ocean.

"Thrw Out the Life Line"—
Weais kidneys neod help.
They're often overworked—the
don't get the poisoa filtered out
of the blood.
Will you help them?
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
benefit to thousands of kidney suf
ferers.
Bead this case:
Airs. J. H. Van. Schaick, 875 N.
Ninth St., Colton, Cal., says: "I
had a great deal of trouble from
disordered kidneys and my back
was so 6ore and lame that I could
hardly move. I noticed the pains
more <n the morning than at any
other time. 1 had headaches and
dizzy spells and black specks ap
peared before my eyes. Some
times I could hardly sleep from
nervousness and was all run down.
1 fel* tired and languid, had
trouble from the kidney secretions
and my bladder was inflamed.
Doan's Kidney Pilla went to the
roo* of the trouble at once and
save mo great relief'
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pilla—the same
that Mrs. Van Schaick had. j Fos

A White House Fete.
I know nothing more Impressive In
its dignity, more complete in its 'way,
than the White House en fete. It em
bodies all our best tradition of hospi
tality and cordiality—of perfection
■without ostentation. Tien there is
something in the atmosphere which
hangs about It—especially during the
dnys of a closing administration—which
makes one think of that serenity that
seems t<j cling around the woeds ot
Mount Vernon and which appears there
almost like a material reflex from th«
calm and tempered ripeness of Its own
er's soul. There Is, I Imagine, an affin
ity, n certain likeness In the magna
nimity of all generous, wise and simple
men whether of ancient or modern
times. Alas, too hard for our genera
tion of egotists to follow or eren re
spect! The only ideal which is preach,
ed nowadays is "one's duty to one*
self."—"Pieces of the Game."
