"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
LEARMMi TO KNOW THE FLAG
Aad aow bright, new flags are
Nyi»f from places yhere flags nev
er flew before ami people are
counting the stars and writing to
the newspapers about matters of
(1*4 etiquette. Aud the general
inteiest has brought to light the
fact th»t a vast majority of com
fortable Americans have been for
getting even that they had & flag,
or, Jf not quite that, at least the
number of its stripes and stars.
W«'re perfectly comfortable and
fcajpy; why bother about a flag?
The existence of such lazy indiffer
ent# fiads expression in the naive
interest now beiug shown in the
resurrected colors. I know a
houje where, for a week or two
after America's rebirth, the flag
wa* continuously displayed, night
*n4 Cay, proudly flapping uniou
down. And I have talked to sweet
girl graduates of American schools
wqu did not know that there was a
•tar for every Stae or that there
wer* forty-eight; and oue in particu
l»r who, wnea I wearily informed
her 'I at there were thirteen stripes,
■•Thirteen: How awful.'"
Flummery- Superstition? Idol
worahiD? I've listened to beetle
browed professors with dirty col
lars and broad minds and to unshav
en. round-shouldered youths spit
ting forth great new ideas of the
mtltiftg-pot and the fusing of na
liong, the social millennium and
tha brotherhood of man; 1 have
beird them industriously impugn
In* the motives of patriots, pok
ing their pipe-stems into the pri
vate lives of Presidents, eager to
relea*» the fetid breath of long
iorvottea scandal-mongers, leaving
a trail of slime across the flag—all
to demonstrate a brave independ
ence of thought. I am glad, in the
erisig tuat faces us, that they can
not crawl under the colors of free
dom aad hide while the clan-cut
lou of our heroic dead go forth to
flrnt their battles.
Proaelyting pacifists, burdened
with theories and ideals and obstin
ately blind to the facts of a sin
ful world, have led our youth
astray. We have had teachers for
our children wbo have confused the
office of teaching with that of
Breaching and so have preached to
tbem sermons in which the great
principles of our national existence
har« been neglected—the great prim
cipel that Justice must be fought
for today as it was fought for in
the Cays of the patriot pioneers,
Wltlt a stalwart heart and the
strong arm of righteousness.—From
'T>« Point of View," in the No
vember Scribner.

A class la first aid for both man
and women waa recently organised
in Seward. Doctors of the fcitjr of
fered their services to take charge
of the courses. Many members of
'he Seward Home Guard joined the
class.
An entertainment was given in
Dawson recently by the American
women for the benefit of the Red
Pross at which $1,068 was netted.
Tb* gathering was known as the
Days of '98.
All the dredges of the Yukon.
Gold company have shut down in
the Dawson country for the win
ter. The advent of the cold weath
er shut off the water supply in
the mountains, and necessitated
stopping the power plant. The
Cauadiaa Klondyke company, how
aver, will continue operating its
dredges for quite a while yet this
season the first freezing of the
water forming a blanket of ice
over the remaining water which
runs through the ditch to their
power station.
Tlie famous old Yukon steamer
Vidette was lost recently In Lake
LeBarge while being towed from
Whitehorse down the river. Every
thing was lovely until a gale blew
up from the Norihwest, and the
old craft, having no steajn pow
er or steering gear of her own,
filled with water and joined Davy
Jones. Only the boiler was left
la the Vidett® when she sunk ojid
the steamer Dawson later removed
that.
On exhibition in the window of
Burford's corner In Juneau is a
rutabagas 17% pounds, a 6-pound
turnip, and vegetables raised on
the Eagle River farm of Tom Dod
sen, serving as samples to show
what the soil will do in this sec
tion of the country, even despite
the adverse w&ather conditions ex
perienced the past season.
At the Juneau General Hospital
last week the entire knee joint of
Harry Stcckman was removed from
one of his legs aaid the bones fas
tened together without laving a
joint. The operation waa made
necessary t,y diseased bone» in the
joint which could not be cured.
Stockman was night watchman at th
Worthen Mills. The leg will be
about two inches shorter and will
be stiff, but Stockman will be able
to get around without crutches.
Mrs. W. "W. Council, prseident of
the Cordova Chapter, American l>ed
Cross received the following let
ter from the people of Nizina: "To
da> we are forwarding $115.00 to
the First Bank of Cordova, to be
olaced to the credit of your organ
isation, this sum being the pro
ceeds from a raffle which has just
: oeeu drawn here in the aid of the
Red Cross. The prize was a hand
carved cobellite inkstand, made an
donated by Sam Means and the
winning number wag held by Dave
Young. "W'e are all interested in
* o great work of which you aro
a part."
The Sans Souci building owned
by Gus Roene and which has
oused the Douglas postoffke for
more than five years, is now a
mess of ruins, fire having devastat
ed It at an early hour Monday
morning last.
When the fire was discovered
smoke wa$ issuing from practical
ly all parts of the building in
volumes and, regardless of the hour,
1:30 a. m., the volunteer firemen
and hundreds of citizens were
soon at the scene of th« con flag
ration.
N'ever was the efficiency of the
volunteer fire department of Doug
las moro thoroughly tested and
never was better work or more
coraolete discipline witnessed.
Everything in the building gave
t''.e post office equipment, mail
and fixtures, was destroyed except
one piano which, w-as stored on the
first floor and which was practica
lly. ruined both by heat and water.
The origin of the fire is a mys
tery. While the second floor was
subdivided into living apartments,
n:ae of them were occupied except
one, and the owner of the building,
Gus Rcene, was living alone in
that, his family being in Seattle at
the present time. Roene only slept
there at-d, so far as known, there
had been no fire in the building for
several hours. Roene 5vent to Ju
neau Sunday evening and is said
to have spent the night at the
Salmon Creek power house with
friends. At any rate, he was not
In Douglas at the time his building
was burned. The fact that the
building was insured for $7,500
caused many insinuating remarks to
be made as to the origin of the
fire.. Of the amount of insurance on
the building a company represented
by Allan Shattuck, of Juneau, car
ries $2,000 and the remaining $5,
300 is by a company represented by
a Seattle agency.
When Every

Mrs. Ellen F. Jonei, 1517 E.
Fourtn Ave., Spokane, gays:
"The first sign I had of anything
beiujr wrong with my kidneys was
about nine years ago. My kid

b'adder trouble kept me miserable.
In other ways my kidneys showed
the? weren't doing their work pro
per:.- My back was so painful I
could hardly bear the misery and
mv sight, was affected, too. 1 got
so I couldn't walk across the floor
to get a driuk of water. Three
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills en
tirely cured me and I felt Btrong
