Where on the Yukon Is ex-Judge Woot


Where on the Yukon Is ex-Judge Wood
now?
Where, oh where, can he be?
Is he stuck in the ice or depressing row!
He's an "ex," but not In extasee.
Where on the trail Is that Osborn called
Dick?
Where, oh, where can he be!
Is he steering skiff or turning trick.
Or writing some bad poetree?
Where in the Orient's L. s. j. Hunt?
Where, oh. where can he be?
With a boom on the way he should be at
the front,
And not away or In Koree.
Where in the East is our Fishback i'm
INJURED?
Where, oh. where can he be?
His speedy return In note he assured,
But it's long passed Its maturitee.
Where in the mischief is Watson c.
Squire?
Where, oh, where can he be?
Does he not to the senate intend to aspire
At the forthcoming vacancee?
Where are some others who long have
been missed?
Where, oh, where can they be?
They said they'd come back, but they're
still on the list
OF those who skipped out quietlee.

All hail to the brave fireman Of Mount
Vernon who responded to duty's call even
from the nuptial altar. 1t takes nerve to
face a preacher, bride. and the curious

even a higher sort OF courage to ignore
them all and run from fair feminine
Establishments and loves sweet society TO
wrestle with heavy fire engine through

extinguish the fire demon which has Arm
grasp on some neighbours brick chimney
and threatens a devoted city with destruc-

the right kind of stuff. May he always see
duty's pathway clear and respond to all fire
alarms here and hereafter under the same
or any other circumstances. Again. all
hail 70 him.

1t IL taken for granted by uniformed
persons that the decision Of the five fusion
Republican Hamilton county members Of
the Ohio legislature means that they will
vote for Mr.. Hanna If he gets the NOM
nation. which it is conceded he can have.
Their promise is highly Pickwickian ut
terance. Mr.. Hanna has placed himself
on record as opposed to a caucus. His po-
sition is that the Republican state conven-
ton explicitly declared him the candidate,
and the only candidate of the party, and
no Republican member can do otherwise
than obey these instructions without
breach Of trust. The convention made the
caucus wholly unnecessary. There Is
weight in this argument. but 1t Is doubtful
II 1t alone will be influential In bringing
about Mr.. Hanna's election. The admin
istration, and othec cogent powers of per-
suasion. In which the Ohio senator has
already achieved reputation, viii no
doubt all be employed. Even then the
result at this distance appears uncertain.

The Post-Intelligencer would be recreant
to its duty to its readers if IL did not give
public warning as to the character of GER
tain companies that have been organized
as result OF the Klondike excitement.
Some OF them have no genuine purpose of
development OF northern mines, but their
sole field OF operations will be the gullible
public. 1t is not an easy matter always to
uncover the schemes of these swindlers,
but 1t will be done wherever possible.
Meanwhile it is the duty of all persons to
make careful investigation into the merits
Of every project which invites investment
from them. The capitalist does not need
to be cautioned. He can be depended upon
to run no chance that he has not carefully
weighed. But It Is the small investor who
Is made to think he sees millions in sight
that must be warned. II project Is sound
and legitimate. 1t will bear scrutiny; if not,
1t will pay to keep out.

AN OLD STORY.

The mysterious points OF the Barrett case
are being swept away and the affair takes
shape that many are familiar with. The
unfortunate girl wished for life of luxury
and wealth, and sS per. week would not
furnish it. Speculation offered it's temp
tations, and it looks as though fraud again
came to the front to cover indiscretions.
The loss being almost only that Of life,
few will be interested when the story has
been robbed of its other sensations. !. The
Fall River Globe truly says: ''The mystery
resolves itself into the simple fact that q
vain and silly young woman undertook to
play the part of the fine lady on the
meagre salary of humble typewriter.
The inevitable consequence was the alter
native of disgrace or self destruction to
avoid it. She choose the latter. 1t Is an
everyday story, but the setting for this one
was of such an unusually novel and dra-
matte character as to attract special
notice and engross public attention"

Alaska comes again with another source

some-nonths ago lake of almost pure
petroleum was discovered and samples
were sent to Seattle for analysis. The re-

The find is reported to be OF great richness.

GET WELL AND STAY WELL,
GHT RID OF WHAT MAKES you SICK
AND STAY RID OF 1T.


1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are 30 many sick people.
Come to think about II, must he because
they don't know what's made them sick.
IL they knew that, they could prevent It.,
and when they were sick, ip some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we don't
take more care of our health, we shall al
ways be more or less sick.
The simple rules OF health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure 1t with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food Is the unhealthiest
thing you can think Of.
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons of undigested food. More
than half of them could be cured with
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak, and q
course of nourishing food digested without
effort by the stomach with the aid of
Shaker Digestive Cordially would reinvig-
crate the whole system and make us well.
A ten cent trial bottle will prove 1t. At
druggists.

ers, 30 Reade Street, New York.
