AN ALASKAN SOCIETY.

The growth of the fracrnal society known the Arctic Bro herhood has been phenomenal. The first camp ,f the order instituted ill Skagway in 1898. T idea of having fraternal organization of this kind peculiarly northern, that is to say, confined to Alaska and the great northern country, met with in- stant favor. It spread, and today it is safe to say that the Arctic Brotherhood is the leading raternal society of this northland Its growth has been pd and there is scarcely camp of the Brotherhood that does not own its own hail. Most of them have club rooms and reading rooms, where their members may while away rroftauiy the long winter months.
 Of all the camps, for such they called, of the Arctic Brotherhood the growth of Camp Nome, Mo- @, has been perhaps the most remarkable. It wa. organized in the winter of 1900, with but few mem bers. by Sam c. Durham, who held special com mission as organizer from the Grand Camp.
 The local organization grew slowly but steadily. For time it had its ups and downs, but the de- voton of few of its members carried it through and then the upbuilding began During the last year its growth has been remarkable, and Camp No. 9 is to- day probably the largest in Alaska. Its new home purchased from the Standard Theater Co is the
 finest by far north of Seattle and it would be credit to many towns of the United States. The camp has done much good work; it has cultivated a feeling of it, because it is Alaskan organization founded on the broad lines of goodfeowshipland good will May it's shadow never grow less.

THE CASE OF CADZOOKS.

In Tennessee town. q few years ago. one Joseph iadzooks had misunderstanding with a neighbor In the course of the argument the neighbor received injuries to his feelings and anatomy from which he shortly afterwards died Cadzook> was arrested in dicted tried by a jury of his leers and sentenced to be hanged by the neck until he was dead And may the Lord have mercy on his soul" added the judge flor l haven't"
 The carried to the Court of Appeals and the verdict set asile the ground that the judge who had tried Cadzooks had once been shot at by said Cadzoois The judge said he couldn't help that So Cadzooks brought back to the county town and put in jail to await second trial. The neigh bors didn't like his being brought back and ''com mittee of fifty headed by the judge whom Cadzooks had used for target, broke into the iail and took Cadzooks out and hanged him, in order that the majesty of the law might be vindicated. Cadzooks' friends gathered and cut him down in his prime Cadzooks recovered and went back to jail for procc tion. The place barrcadcd in fear of another attack, and Cadzooks given a rifle two pistol. and bowiekne with which to defend himself
 year went by and the judge who tried Cadzooks was killed by Cadzooks' attorney. The desire to try Sadzooks was growing less and less. His attorney about to make move to have the original in dictment quashed, when the attorney died. So Cad
 
 for the sheriff knew that he dare not go away for fear of the neighbors who nsistent on justice what that may be. Cadzooks swept out the ial took of the shers horses helped the hired girl with the dishes, and kept constant weather eye out for neighbory blizzard, for his slightly stiff neck made him remember the days agonc His cell was always open like cyclone cellar, SO ho could run in quick and bar himself against the coming storm.
 But the storm never came So passed the days Cadzooks forgotten by the prosecuting attorney who had lost the original indictment. Once he was asked about the Cadzooks case Damn Cadzooks /" said the prosecuting attorney, "who tell is Cad- zooks?" short time ago Cadzooks hired another attorney. Cadzooks has resided in that jail for seven years continuously, and now claims the prop erty under the homestead act. Besides this he has entered suit against the state for services rendered. and he may win out on both counts.
 The average who goes into law loses money by the operation, but Colonel Cadzooks of Tennessee s something more than average man.
