1'OlLl PHILOSOPHY
(Youth's Companion)
The wonderful spirit of the
men at the front in suit© of ter
rors ard strains unheard of until
now is delightfully embodied in. this
bit of soldierly philosophy that ft
French soldier sent to a friend in
.Massachusetts. The pieoe has been
r/ruted and circulated all along the
front, and has become exceediuly
popular among the French sol
diers. No one knows its origin.
Thus it runs:
"You have t*'0 alternatives —
eiffcer you are mobilized or you are
not. If not, you have nothing to
worry about..
"If you aro mobilized, you have
'wo alternatives—you aro in camp
or at »be front. If you are in
camp, vou have nothing to worry
about.
"if you are a* the front, you
have two alternatives—either you
aro in Teserve or on the fighting
lino. I? you are in reserve, you
have nothing fo worry about.
"If you are on the fighting line,
you ^ave two alternatives—either
you t'isrbt or you don't. If you don't
you have nothing to worry about. If
you do. you have two alternatives
— ei'her you get hurt or you
don't, you have nothing to worry
about.
"If you are hurt, you have two
alternatives—either you get slight
ly hurt or you get badly liurt. If
sliehtlv, you have nothing to worry
about.
"If badly, you have two alterna
tives— either you recover or Jx>u
don't. If you recover, you have
nott»ii>s to worry about. If you
don't, and have followed my ad
vice clear through, you have jlone
wi'h worry forever."

THE FIRST TO LOSE HIS JOB
There was a» least one federal
Official in Alaska who failed to live
uo > • the edict by the Democratic
statement of the territory, and aa a
consequence Susitna preeinct failed
»o record a single vote for Sulzer.
I' is also interesting to note that
ut>ou* eight weeks after the elec
tion has beeu held. United States
Commissioner I.ee Van Blyke, form
erly of Cordova, was dropped from
the payroll of Uncle Sam at Susitna
and Carl Almy, an Anchorage at
torney apx>ointcd ns his successor.
Of course there was no politics in
the change.—Cordova Times.
"Who's who and what?" Sulzer
and Wickersham are so nearly a tie
in the vote count that either may
n*)se out by less thaji a half dozen
plurality. Such closeness is nerve
racking, especially to th,ose who bet
New Years dinners on the result.
Of the three candidates for the
delegateshiP in the late election on
ly one, the Socialist, is certain
of either defeat or election.
REMAINS OF FKEEDlXG
FOUND NEAR THE TRAIL
A Seattle telegram 3ays that the
body of Territorial Senator Conra4
Freeding, of Nome, wtoo was caught
in a blizzard and frozen on the
trail be'ween Kougarofe Hot Springs
and Nome, has t>een found by a
searching party. The body lay not
far from a the trail. He yas on
his return from a visit to the
springs, whither he had taken his
wife, whe was ill.—Cordova Times. ;
-s Mark Twain Didn't s
DURING both of the Cleveland administrations Mark Twain
was in high favor at the White House and called there
informally whenever business took him to Washington.
But on one occasion (it was his first visit after the presi
dent's marriage) there was to be a party, and Mrs. Clemens,
who could not attend, slipped a little note into the pocket of
his evening waistcoat, where he would be sure to find it when
dressing, warning him as to his deportment.
Being presented to young Mrs. Cleveland, be handed her a
card on which he had written, "He didn't," and asked her to
sign her name below those words.
Mrs. Cleveland protested that she must know first what
it was that he hadu't done, finally agreeing to sign if he would
O tell her Immediately all about it, which he promised to do. C
She signed, and he handed her Mrs. Clemens' note. It was
very brief. It said:
"Don't wear your arctics in the White flouse."—Albert
Blgelow Paine in St. Nicholas.

In lis trip across from St. Paul
to Prince Rupert the publisher of
the Alaskan was fortunate enough
fo be on the train that the Bapco
salesmen of Alberta were taking to
carrv them to their annual conven
tion held in Victoria this year.
Taoir soecial car was profusely decor
a'ed and large streamers Rearing
the name of the Bapoo Co. were
strung along the sides of the
car and the hoys all wore the com
pany caps and other decorations.
The British America Paint Com
pany is makng most of the paint
used in wester and northern. Can
ada and a fast growing concern that
uses "Made in Canada" aB its
slcgan. The young men composing
the sales force of Alberta are
about the most popular men in the
Dominion and deservedly so, for a
more genial bunch cannot be im
agined and upon th§ invitation to
ho'd their next conventon in At
lin, Whitehorse or Dawson, they
wer« enthusiastic and if not next
year the year after in all probabil
ity will see them Holding their con
vention in one of the places men
tioned.
The handsome young men who
composed this party yere as fol
lows:
J W, Mcintosh, General Manag
er o* Alberta branches, Calgary and
Edmon'on. Thijj canny Scotchman,
who Is their genial general manager
went fo Alberta three years ago
from the Victoria office. His corn
in? was the begin nng of bigger bus
iness for Bapco Pure Paint.
\V. R. Herbert, the Alberta sales
manager looked younger andi happie
than ever as he introduced his
salesmen to the publisher of the
Daily Alaskan. "Yes business is very
goo'l," said Mr. Herbert, "we have
had a splendid year's business and
expcct tc have a very large increase
nes* year.
E. A, Cutler, the Dean of the
Alber'a sales force, is a strong
forceful exponent of the good quali
ties of Bapco Paint.
R. C. Chown, formerly purchas
ing agent for the City of JEdmon
tou, is one of the Compjnay'e ban
ner salesmen. His Quick wit was
appreciated by everyone whom he
met en route.
F. .W. Tracey, a real White Hope
•n appearance, good natured as he
is big. By his efforts the paint
business on. his territory, like
himself, is very large.
A. G. Pearce has been with the
Company for svereal years. This
speaks for his ability as a business
ness setter.
Joseph Harcourt, The Energetic
Joe, who covers Lttftbrilge terri
tory 'has established Bapoo. Paint In
the Southern part of Sunny Al
ber'a, as only one with his punny
ways could do.
W. E. Trump, the latest addi
tion to their selling force looks like
a coming champion.

An Unique Record
Veiy Few lake It In Our Broad
Republic
Grateful testimony for Doaii's
Ki'Utfcy Pills, t>ublished everywhere
■ a '"f itself convincing evidence of
m?xit. Cooifrmed testimony forms
still stronger evidence. Years ngo,
Mrs. Mason gratefully acknowledged
♦he benefit derived from Doan's
Kidiiev Pills. Tlie statement is
uow confirmed — the proof more
cenvincing. Cases of this kind
are plentiful in the work of Doan's
K'dner Pills—the record is unique.
Mrs. Daviil Mason, 2715 East C
St., Tacoma, Wash, says: "I had' a
dull, heavy ache in my back and it
wa» lame and. woak. Severe head
aches and dizzy spells were com
mon. The kjdney secretions pass
ed too often and I always felt tir
ed and worn-out. Doan's Kidney
Pills rid me of the trouble."
(Statement given Sept. 19, 1913.)
On November 5, 1915 Mrs. Mason
said: "I have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills since last recommending
them and have found' them just
as effective as in the past."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask foa- a kidney remedy—
ge» Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
, that Mrs. Mason has twice publie
ly recommended. Foster Milburn
