death from cancer of stomach II IS

from his excessive Indulgence OF this

The onion is undoubtedly whole

medicinal qualities of value. but 1t
would he difficult to find Il more in

70 many people they are simply poison.
hut the onion does not stand alone in
this respect. Any article of food that
js not thoroughly digested becomes Il
source of disease and discomfort
whether it lie fried onions of beef

The reason why any wholesome food

stomach lacks some important Gle

Out in big apartment house on Co
lumbia heights there dwells a young
married woman who Is as naive as the
bride in the comic weeklies. The house
keepers who live In the same house
with her have been somewhat annoyed
of late by mice. The young woman
met one Of them In the hall the other
day, and the conversation naturally
turned ON their common pests.
"The mice have been so bad lately"
said the elder woman, that / keep ev-
erything locked up and all my eatables
In the boxes"
The younger woman's eyes sparkled
with eagerness.
"Myw she said. II wouldn't dare do
that / wouldn't want to run such a
risk. l leave crackers and cheese lying
about every night when l go to bed so
that when the mice become hungry
they'll find something to eat and not
gnaw things. I'm always afraid they'll
bite holes In my new tablecloths and
my nice centerpieces If / don't leave
the cheese right where they can find 1t
easily. l feel perfectly safe when
know there's plenty for them to eat
right where they can get at it,"
There's nothing after all like having
a clever idea like that now and them

The grenadier guards were hickman
ed "The Coalheavers" because they
were at one time allowed to work in
plain clothes at odd jobs for private
employers. The Seventh foot were "The
Elegant Extracts" because at one time
all their officers had been chosen from
other corps" The Forty-sixth owed
their name of 1.-THE Lacedemonians' to
their colonel's stirring speech on the
ancient Spartans. Like many other
regiments, 1.-THE Gallant Fiftieth" re
ceived several nicknames-"The Blind
Half Hundred" from their ophthalmic
troubles in Egypt, and 'eThe Dirty
Half Hundred" because in their PENN
sular fights they wiped themselves with
their black facings. The One Hun

were called 'eThe Fore

back, they repealed a front and rear

General Lawton made it habit OF
his life to take II cold water bath ev-
cry morning before breakfast, and
while campaigning he carried with him
Il rubber tub 1t made no difference
where he was, he always ordered the
tubful of cold water to his quarters
every morning.
In following the Apaches he reached
mountain. lie knew that the In
dams had fled there. and before pursu-
ing them farther he left his rubber
tub and other tent equipments at the
old and faithful sergeant to guard
carefully until he returned. 1t was an
old trick with that tribe of Indians
when being pursued to circle around
and return to the exact point whence
they started.
The general left the tub and started
nut after the Indians. They circled
around, covering "A wide territory. and
beat General Lawton back to the base
of the mountain. When he got there,
he found that the old sergeant and his
six men had been killed and that his
tub had been carried off by the In
dams. The Apaches evidently learned
how highly the general priced the rub
Der tub. for they placed great store by
it after they had captured it and guard
ed it as closely as they did their own
ives.-Louisyille Courier-Journal.

Preventative Structure is
Erected on East Side.
BAGGAGE STILL TAXED
Pacific Coast Company Does Not
Charge Wharfage on Hand Bag
gage Crossing Its Wharf. and
Has Built Nor Gates or Fences.

The Moore wharf has not only built a
fence and gate across the natural gateway
to the wharf proper. but has also put up
high fence on the east side of that part of
the approach Just in front of the ware
house. The company still continues to
charge wharfage on baggage.
While the Moore wharf company charges
wharfage on baggage, the Pacific Coast
Steamship COMPANY does not charge a
cent of wharfage on baggage that one
carries.
If man comes or goes aboard with a
big war bag or heavy valses he is not
charged wharfage on them. II he has a
trunk he Is charged twenty-five cents
wharfage,
The Pacific Coast Company has not built
a fence around its wharf. 1t allows all
who care to visit all pats of the wharf at
any time they may please. or to get off
from its steamers and come up town any
time they please.

Nome Rush a Repetition of
'97 Boom at Skagway.
MANY SHIPS ARE LOST
Interesting Letter From j. b. Lin
coln-Many Making Fortunes and
Others Losing Better off in Skag-
way-Shooting Scrapes Plentiful.

Conditions at Nome, from accounts
written by those on the scene, are evident
" similar in many respects to those at
Skagway in the summer and fall of 1907.
Crowds of restless and apparently aim
less people seem to be everywhere.
The following extract from letter
written by J. Lincoln, well known in
Skagway as the resident agent for Fischer
Bros. of Seattle, to F. B. Mcdonald of the
Commissary, will give clear idea of the
situation. Mr.. Lincoln writes under date
OF June 20, and says:
81 arrived here Nav 28, and was lucky
as we had pleasant trip. Many of the
vessels have had very hard time getting
here. The Santa Anna caught fire in the
hold and burned for two days, and small
pox broke out on the wav and she was
sent to Egg island, near st. Michael In
quarantine, her passengers and freight be-
ing kept on board. The Ohio was already
there In quarantine. Other vessels have
gone ashore and are total loss. There
are twenty large steamers here discharglng
freight and 1t Is sight to see.
1.-THE sidewalks and streets are so
crowded that it Is q hard matter to walk.
As to business am not enthusiastic. Out
fits are being sold at Seattle cost.
property is very high and 1t is impos-
sible to rent or lease in good location.
There is only one cigar store in the place
and he paws $I5o per month for space in
front of restaurant on the sidewalk uuder

Memories of n Waltz.

did you ever try to dance with a
foreigner asked a Louisville gentle
man who had been travelling abroad
IL did once" he continued, land that
experience was more than enough for
me. 1t happened at hall at Musta-
pha, at the Hotel ST. Georges. l asked
an Austrian countess to waltz, and
when we started supposed we would
dance In the leisurely American fash
ion. The countess had different idea
in her head. She preferred to whirl
madly like dervish ON space that
could be covered with parasol, and
on account of her superior strength l
chung to her, and we began to spin.
FINALLY, when it seemed to me that
we were performing our antics on the
ceiling with our heads hanging down,
could stand it no longer and, gasp
ing for breath, suggested that we sit
down. l saw two chairs galloping
around the room and prepared to catch
them on The next lap. We steered for
them, clinging helplessly to the ath-
letic lady, and then we sank down. l

A Shock For Carlyle.


Thackeray once told Sir John Millais
this amusing story of Carlyle:
He had spent a day in the reading
room of the British museum and had
given a great deal of trouble to one of
the officials, sending him up and down
ladders in search of books to satisfy
his literary tastes, and on leaving the
room he had gone up to the man and
told him that it might be some salts
faction to him to know that he had
obliged Thomas Carlyle. The official
hesitatingly answered him, with a
bland smile and the usual washing of
hands in the air, that the gentleman
had the advantage of him. but that
probably they might have met at some
mutual friends house. He had never
heard of Thomas Carlyle.
