The Alaska Mission of the Yukon
finds itself in sore need of help owing
to devastating plague which has
ragged lately among the Esquimaux
and which in Il short time carried off
One-half of the population 1t would
be too long to describe the tale of llor-
ror witnessed by the missionaries dur
ing the plague. Suffice it to say that
the we'll ones fed from shelter, from
food and from home, abandoning the
sick to their fate amidst the unburied
remains of the dead, and exposing
themselves to the horrors of starvation.
The missionaries eXerted themselves
to their utmost, nursing the SICK as
sisting the dying. burying the dead
and distributing with unsparing hand
every means at command, leaving the
mission exhausted and in a crippled
condition, struggling to keep on with
it's work and it's schools. We cannot
think of abandoning the field or Of
sending adrift tho orphans whom the
fearful plague left on our hands, but
we shall continue the work begun,
confding in Gods providence and
trusting in the efficacy of this appeal
to your generosity. Hoping you will
contribute your mite Of one dollar and
pray for the conversion of these ma
tives, am sincerely yours in the
Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The Meeting of Two Gaxernors.

There was a remarkable meeting mt

Governor Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa.
now secretary of the treasury, met
Governor Ezra p. Savage for the first
time In eighteen years. and there were
tears Ill their eyes when they grasped
each others hands. 1t was a remark
able coincidence that the public ca
reers Of the two governors of neigh
boring states began together, for Les
lie M. Shaw, n STRIPPING lawyer, won
his first case before Justice of the
Peace Savage, who was presiding for
the first time.
Mr.. Savage was justice in the vii
lage of Buck Grove and his first case
was suit to collect Il bill against n
storekeeper. There seemed small
chance that the case could be won, and
when a slight, nervous young attorney
appeared to prosecute, there was a
smile of satisfaction OH the fat store
keepers face, and his attorney was
condescending
The trial was very ordinary one
with no chance to demonstrate any in
innate knowledge of the law. But
the responsibility of the occasion op-
pressed Justice Savage; the desperate
resolve to win flustcrcd the slight
young lawyer, as he conclusivcly and
incisivcly demonstrated that the law
was OH the side of his client.
Justice Savage delberatcd few
moments for effect and then an
nornced that he held for the plaintiff.

The young attorney put Oh his thin
overcoat, and, smiling with satisfac-
ton, turned to go out Justice Say
age called him over and asked him
his name.
"Shaw, SIR"
"Well, Mr.. Shaw. I want to con-
graduate you on winning that case.
You made the law very plain.'
''Thank YOU" was the pleased reply
of young Shaw.
"You haven't been practicing long
hereabouts, have you?"
"No, this was my first case. Glad
l won it,"
"And this was my first trial"
And they shook hands again. From
that day they were fast friends. Each
watched the others career with I'M
usual interest, but for eighteen years
they were too busy TO meet
When they did meet it was amid
surroundings that were peculiarly
striking, for about the two men the
pioneers of Eastern Nebraska and
Western Iowa mingled, and each gov
ernor spoke Oh the subject of the
transformations seen on the prairics
since he was boy.

my good fortune to be associated with

May all the good fortune you so
richly deserve attend you wherever
