A PAIR OF OLD SOCKS.

There are holes in the heels that are gaping
and wide.
And the toes have departed long since,
IL is true,
While the knees are curious mixture of
darns
OF every conceivable texture and hue.
At best they are only pair of old socks,
Bearing the tatters of days that are
fed.
just pair of yarn stockings my grand
mother knit
Striped gaily with ribbands of white and
of red.
with her little white cap tied under her
chin.
And the snowy apron smoothed over hei
She would sit all day by the chimney fire,
And gossip and knit, and knit and nap,
And always her knitting would prove to be
pair of stockings, white and red,
For no other color was quite as good,
And that's what grandmother always
said.
Years have passed and the wooden chair
is vacant now by the chimney place;
The shining needles are duh with rust,
Where times rude finger has left its
trace.
And even l myself am changed,
All that remains from childhood's flight
Are these little tattered wooden socks,
With candy-stripes of red and white.
And no rich gift that the years may yield
Ever will prove as dear to me,
Linking to-day with the youthful past,
When life was careless and gay and free
When life was a mystery fair and new,
Ere darkness came, and hope lay dead
As this pair of boyish worn-out socks.
With candy-stripes Of white and red.

The Neverslip Horse Shoe and Calk The
calks can be screwed in and removed at will
by anyone in few minutes--the blacksmith
having set the shoe. Used in this way, a
set Of the Neverslip Shoes will outlast three
sets with the permanent calks. Being con-
stantly kept raised on the Calls the Never
slip Shoe cannot wear as fast as others.
The total cost of maintaining a horse
sharp-shod by this method for three winter
months assuming that you adjust the calks
yourself), would be the price of the calks I:
That is, for horse doing heavy work daily
you might use one full set per week,-cost
about $3.50 altogether. The same horse
shod the old way doing the same work for
the same time, would probably cost for new
shoes, sharpening, etc., about $9.50-a big
difference. So much for economy.
The Neverslip Calk is by far the safer on
ice or any slippery ground. 1t never breaks,
works loose or rusts fast. 1t is cheap, con-
yenient, practical. Try IL on your horse.

LAWS APPLICABLE TO ALASKA
A Statement Issued Recently by Com.
missioner Hermann.

A Statement Issued Recently by Com
missioner Hermann.
The misunderstanding and conten
tons regarding the laws that are APP
plicable to Alaska, as far as the land:
and claims are concerned, were set al
rest recently by the statement made by
Commissioner Hermann, of the genera
land Office. Many inquiries on thi,
question have come to the interior de.
partment and numerous applications
have been made for copies of the public
land laws, which. however. do not apply
to Alaska. All this is due to the gold
boom. The general land officials have
taken much interest in the reports that
come from the gold belt and have in
vestigated the laws that govern them
Commissioner Hermann says there is
no longer any question about which ex-
tend over Alaska. and these laws are
applicable.
/. The mineral land laws of the
United States.
2. Townsite laws, which provide for
the incorporation OF town sites and ac-
United States government to the town
site trustees.
3. The law providing for trade and
manufacturers, giving to each qualified
person 100 acres of land in a square
and compact form.
The coal land regulations are distinct
from the mineral regulations or laws.
and the jurisdiction of neither coal
laws nor public land laws extend TO
Alaska. the territory being expressly
excluded by the laws themselves from
their operation. The act approved May
II. 1884, providing for civil government
of Alaska. has this language as to mines
and mining privileges:
THE laws of the United States relaf-
ing to mining claims and rights Incl
dental thereto shall, on and after the
passage of this act, be in full force and
effect in said district of Alaska, subject
TO such regulations as may be made by
the secretary of the interior and ap
proved by the president and parties
who have located mines or mining priv
ileges thereon under the United States
laws. applicable to the public domain.
or have occupied or improved or exer-
cised acts of ownership over such
claims. shall not be disturbed therein.
but shall be allowed to perfect title by
payments provided for"
There is still more general author.
ity. The act of July 4, 1866. says:
"All valuable mineral deposits in
lands belonging to the United States.
both surveyed and unsurveyed. are
hereby declared to be free and open TO
exploration and purchase. and lands in
which these are found TO occupations
and purchase by citizens of the United
States. and by those who have declared
an intention TO become such. under the
rules prescribed by law and according
to local customs or rules of miners in
the several mining districts. so far as
the same are applicable and not incon-
sistent with the laws of the United
States"
The patenting of mineral lands in
Alaska is not a new thing. for that work
has been going on as the cases have

Important to Horse Owners.

Horses slip on ice, grass, clay, mud,
smooth pavements and on smooth, dry
ground. 1t is the big slips you notice;
the incessant small slips you don't. Every
slip is loss of power, and the big ones a
loss of power with a risk of strains and falls.
Owners and drivers are often very careless
of this. If slipping can be prevented, it
ought TO be. In this, kindness to the horse is
identical with the interest of his owner.
Among the numerous devices to prevent
slipping none has achieved the success Of
