Pat McGinnis had good deal of trouble
with his laundress; Sunday after Sunday
had his shirt come back with the neck but
ton off, or else hanging by a thread He
had spoken to her on the subject and she
had promised to see to it, but still the but
ton was not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday when
the missing button had made him late for
parade, and exclaimed:
Bother the woman! I'll see il can't
give her a hint this time, anyhow"
He then took the lid of tin backing box,
about three inches in diameter, drilled two
holes in it with fork and sewed it on to the
neck of the shirt that was next to be
washed. When his washing came back he
found that she had taken the hint; she had
made button hole to fit it.-Detroit Free

To Denver in Less Than % Hours
Only One Night En- ROute.-''rhe
Colorado Special"

Beginning Feb. 9th, a new train was
placed in service between Chicago and Den.
yer via the Chicago, Union Pacific 4 North
Western Line, which will make the fastest
schedule ever maintained between Chicago
and Colorados Capital City.
This train will be known as "The Colorado
Special and will leave Chicago via the Chi
cago & Northwestern R'y at 1000 A. M.
every day and reach Denver at 1870 the fol-
lowing afternoon. Eastbound, this train
will leave Denver daily at $3.50 p. M. and
reach Chicago S:45 the next evening. Con-
nections will be made in the Union Depot
at Denver to and from trains of all the Colo
RADIO lines.
Train will be vestibuled throughout,
lighted with Pintsch gas, and will consist Of
Drawing Room Sleeping Cars, Free Reclin-
ing Chair Cars, Buffet, Smoking and Ii
brary Cars, coaches and Dining Cars serving
all meals en- route. A feature in connection
with the service of this train, which will be
appreciated by tourists, is that it will afford
an opportunity for a daylight ride through
the progressive and thickly settled portions
of Illinois and Iowa, which has been i'm.
possible heretofore, as all trains for Denver
have left Chicago in the evening.
Daily service to Denver via The Pacific
Limited leaving Chicago 1890 p. M. will
be continued

An Old Warehouse of journalism Dis
covers the Virtue of n New
Medicinal Variety.

There are only few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
is the chief surviving representative OF the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
in mud is rather modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing Of
late.
the stories of the miraculous Magno.Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh it's value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attachments.
The great editor was mud .mummihed daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son.in.aw for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim
iator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is a beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot oil
the converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of a rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on a cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to proper temperature.
1t then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and has used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped.
About one year and six months ago he read
in this paper of case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes, the
pains entirely disappeared, the dizziness left
him, and he has now for over year. been
entirely free from all his former trouble and
enjoys better health than he has had since
his boyhood.

to the Government of the Dominion OF
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have been

the country as whole, It being beyond our
highest expectations. We find here pros
porous and well.contented lot of people.
They have comfortable homes, and their
vast fields of wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds OF choice cattle, indicate
prosperity in the full sense of the word; In
conversation with the farmers throughout
our trip we learned that the majority OF
them came here with very limited means,
and some with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now well-to-
do. They all claim that this is the only coun-
try for poor man, or one with little means,
to get start and make home for himself
and family. As you are aware, we were
little shaky and undecided before leaving
Detroit, but have determined since that We,
with our friends, will make this country our
future home. 1t is far from being the wilder
ness we had pictured itto be; it is, instead,
a land having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads, mar
kets, stores, churches, schools, ETC., in fact,
an ideal home for those having the future
welfare of themselves and families at heart"
The MessrS. StrlovsKl selected the Ala

in a general way to most other districts in
that vast country. They speak of the fuel,
which is to be had in great quantities, of the
water that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and of the good grazing land to be
had almost everywhere. There is plenty Of
wood for building timber and for fuel, while
coal is convenient, and sells at low prices at
the mines. In driving through the country
they passed many fine patches of wild rasp:

ARE YOU TO LIVE III ALASKAN
Some Requirements That Will Ne
Found Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE, is bread or biscuit. And to make the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes of
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outfitter to
AXE one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing ii
over the long and difficult route, he will
find solid caked mass or lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless
Such "a mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economic with your stomach. For use
in such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. II
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called "the
father of Alaska" after an experience
of years upon the trail. in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
"We find in Alaska that the Importance
of a proper kind of baking powder can.
not be overestimated. A miner with q
can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried all
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal II
is stronger, and carries further, but
above all things it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the U
S. Government in it's relief expeditions
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either or
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most nightly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit
1t can be had Of any OF the trading com
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter TO palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great

BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Feast Took Place 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost 100000.

Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for $4,000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
psned:
He drove the sheep in over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and received nearly
SCI. 900 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in n sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located a claim and proceeded TO test
it. After he had dug out few thou-
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as, the French say, return
to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
holding wake over the sheep, and,
imagining Dawson to be only few
miles away, had started for that city
10 enjoy some of the pleasures met
ropolitan city can afford. 1t proved to
be about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
cases of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles. ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds Of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton. "Where the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered" is
a proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that invitations had been sent
out and general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region, from
Behring sea to the Mackenzieriver, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his next band of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
so large a percentage of them.-Port-
land Oregonian.
