Some Curious Compliments.

The compliments paid by the poor
are often put in an amusing way. One
old lady who was very fond of the rec.
tor said to Mr.. Bernays: you know
sir, us likes the rector, is ears Is so
clean!"-surely an odd reason for pa.
rochial affection. Another admirer
once declared with regard to the
whole staff Of clergy: You are all SC
plain" Ca word of high commenda
tion), but as for the vicar, 'e's beau
tiful!" The greatest compliment
though at the same time the most Gu.
rious Mr.. Bernays ever heard, was
paid by working man to a certain
bishop, famous for his simple kindli-
ness: What | likes bout the bishop
Is 'e's not gentleman"

JUhh u 1ONhuI On
In our announcement column Will be
found the formal announcement of MIR.
John c. Young, who launches his boom
as a candidate for mayor of the city OF
Lexington. We will state here and now
that this announcement Is paid for, and
there is no Joke about his making the
race. The fact Is, the race is already
made, SO far as he is concerned, for he
has In bis possession a petition, sign0d by
a large majority OF our voters, aaking him
to accept the office. He has agreed to
accept, and we are assured that he will
have no opposition.
John @. Young Is a character. He is
the original, and has no imitators. He is
known from Texas to Jericho, and every
body likes him. He has been the "hon-
orary mayor" for twenty five years. and
in all that time the citizens of Lafayette
county, outside of Lexington. have Gup-
posed that he was the real mayor. Now
wo will have the genuine mayor, and the
honorable office of "honorary mayor" will
sink n 'sdesuetude, - because there will be
no one competent to succeed him.
But, seriously, Mr.. Young Is public
spirited citizen, ever ready to give his
time and money to advance the welfare OF
the city. With him business is business,
and must be attended to first. He is q
buainess man, successful IN his every
undertaking, and We predict that be will
make one of the best mayors we ever had,
and that his term will be called "the

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA
Some Requirements That Will be
Found Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, dependent upon the 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,
1t must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the process of the
Royal Baking Powder Company, miners
only one which will stand in that pecu-
liar climate Of cold and dampness and
raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
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 take one Of the cheap brands of bak-
transport 1t, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor In packing il
over the long and difficult route, he will
find q solid caked mass or a lot Of spoil
ed powder, with no strength and useless.
Such mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place In
which to experiment Ia food, or try to
economize 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. 1t
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
1.-THE father of Alaska, !" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail, In the camp
and in the use of every kind Of supply,
says: I'VE find in Alaska that the
importance Of proper kind of baking
powder cannot be oyerestimated. A
miner with 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 the
Royal. 1t Is stronger and carries further
but above all things, 1t Is the only pow
der that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the L
S. government in its 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 on
board ship OF in damp climates, and Is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient of leavenlng agents. Hence 1t Is
Indispensable 10 every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any of the trading COM
panieS In Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies befoIe leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm of upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.
