LIKE SPARTAN HEROlNEs
Are the Women of Japan In the Time
 of War.

Are the Women of Japan In tho fine
 of War.
 The women of Japan are like the Spartan heroines- tell their hus- bands and sons to come back from war with their shield or on them" Many stories are told in relation to the Chi- nese-Japanese war, of the heroism of the women who were left behind when the men sailed away from the Island Kingdom to fight the MikadO battles in Corea and Manchuria.
 When the Eighteenth Infantry was marching through little village on it's way to embark for the front, Japan csc woman named Mih Masu insisted on speaking with one of the lieutenants who had been kind to her son, sol dier in the regiment The lieutenant reluctantly consented, expecting that she would beg for his discharge from the army. But this was not her idea.
 T have come to thank you for your kindness to my son." she said, land to ask you to see that he does his duty we'll. I am a widow and he is my only son, but I have told him that when he goes into battle he must be quite ready and willing to die for his Emperor and his country. I have told him, too, that l shall die of shame if he disgraces him- self by playing the coward That is the only thing that l feel anxious about"
 The son, Chokichi, fought through out the war in gallant style, as he could hardly help doing after being trained by such mother. He won honor and promotion and went back to her without a scratch.
 Another woman, whose son was her sole support, told him that he must re- turn to the colors. for he was re- servist.
 "The duty of the flag" she said, "come before the lesser duties to the home. Though should die of starva- ton you must not hesitate. You must think of your country not of me-"

Must Know It An.

"The hotel clerk must know a little of everything and must be ready at any time to meet any emergency" said the man who stood behind the register at Michigan avenue hotel. "If we knew one-half as much, however, as most people think we ought to know there would be little use for dictiona- ries, encyclopedias, and information bureaus. That fellow you see stand ing over there just asked me at what time day after tomorrow his letter would get to little way station down in Texas. Only this morning young woman stepped up to the desk and asked me if I could help her put on her gloves. An old lady called me up to the fifth floor yesterday evening to ask me where she could find reliable clairvoyant. That's the way it goes year in, year out. Now, there wasn't a single one of those persons who did not know, had they only stopped to think, that I should not be supposed to be concerned with any of their busi- ness. But I am hotel clerk and am supposed to know"

GREAT LUMP or IRON ORE,
wsishs 600, ,ooo, 1000 fe.s and Is
 Martin an I'm m anaA En1tnna

Wsishs 600, 100000 Tens and Is
 Worth an Immense Fortune.
 Ono of tho greatest natural curiosi. ties in Mexico is . big hill consisting of solid mass of iron ore. It stands beside the railroad track, near the sta. tion, in the city of Durango, in the cen. tral part of the republic.
 Nothing just like 1t is known else where except in North Sweden, where there is another hill of iron ore, which the miners are beginning to tear down to feed the smelters that have just been built around it.
 The Durango hill is simply tremen- dous lump of iron ore about mile in length, nearly 2,O0O feet wide and rising above the rock-strewn plain around 1t from 400 to $50 feet.
 When Humboldt visited Mexico in 1903 he did not see the hill, but sam. pies of the iron mass were shown to him, and from them he deducted the erroneous conclusion that the pieces came from a colossal aerolite, the larg. est on record.
 Geologists say that some time or oth. CT big opening was made in the eorth's crust. and that this enormous mass of ore was thrust up through the rift and piled high above the surround ing plain. That is to say, the iron hill Is one of the dikes that are supposed to be the result of earthquake action. Cracks or Assures have opened from the surface deep into the earth, and through these Assures molten matter has been forced to the outer air, where 1t has been hardened into rock.
 So the Durango hill was formed by the same process that made the Pali- sades along the Hudson. The ore is hematite and one of the richest iron ores in the world. The best ores in England contain 57 per cent iron, Lake Superior ores contain from b9 to 6S per cent iron and the Durango hill is from 60 to 67 per cent pure iron, more than three-ffths of this mass, which is cal culated to weigh over 60O,0O0, 900 tons, being iron of the best steel-making quality.
 This is the only part of the mass that appears above the surface. No one knows how deep 1t may penetrate Into the earth.-New York Sun.

A "Busted" Bridegroom.

"What's the queerest marriage fee you ever received, judge," was asked Magistrate Charles T. Dumont yester- day, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
 "The queerest one?" repeated the magistrate. "Well, I'll tell you. The other day colored couple entered my office with the demand, We wants to get tied up.'
 q accommodated them, and when they were duly made man and wife was forced to call the young man aside and remind him that we didn't marry people for the fun of it.
 "The man was astounded.
 "Lor' a massy, boss, hain't got no money he yelled. You legal pussan- ages want to rob a fellow. Didn't 1 pay 75 cents fo' license? I hain't got no mo- moneYv

CATCHING UP
". P. & Y. R. Reducing
 Freight Blockade

The freight blockade which took place at the Skagway warehouses for a few days preceding and after the lst ol the month has disappeared. The sprplus on hand has been reduced from
 300 or 4,OOO to less than l,OOO tOnsr and it is constantly getting smaller, For more than two weeks the railroad has b5eu putting an average ot 100 tons of freight across the summit of White Pass daily. This has been sent over in two trainlOads daily, besides the passenger train which also takes a nuubyr of loads of freight
 The freight has been put into Whithore faster than the equipment ot the river division could take it away from that point, and the surplus at WhitehOrSe DOW exceeds 2,5OO tons. However, that will be r, duced rapidly. Two more steamers were added Go the fleet on the river, the Thistle and the La Frauce, neither oi which had been m the Dawson trade since the first days of the open season, and each is made tO handle three big ScOws.
 While the incoming ireigh, diminish ed materially after the arrival of all that which was shipped at the special commodity rate, the time for which expired August I5, it is expected that smother rush of inbound supplies will soon be on. The vegetables and other perishable freight did not come under the special commodity rate and there was DO inducement tO get it in earlier in the season. In fact there was every reason why it should be delayed til. che last thing The early shipment 0icOmmOdi,ies reduced the probability o'a late blockade, and, Of course, the later in the season the perishable goods are shipped the better will be their chances to withstand the ravages of winter.
 The late shipments to the Panama have bad no, little tO do with the great quantity of freight that has been moving for the last few weeks and that, for that matter, is still and will continue moving fyr the remainder of this month. When the season shall have closed it will be discovered that the W. P. * '. R. has handled a far greater mount ol the lower river freight this year than ever before has been tue case.

GOOD ONE
Useful Time Card to Those
 Interested

I. NJ. West, agent for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, has pre- pared an unique time card that will be useful to those who are interested in the movement of the Yukon river steamers. The card is arranged for the purpose of indicating when a steamer can be expected at Whitehorse that is bound up stream from Dawson. It shows the steaming hours that will re- uuire one of the fast W. r. X Y. R. passenger steamers to make White borse from any point on the river, and the hours the boat is from Dawson. The card is based on the 72-hour time that IS being made by the Whitehorse, Dawson and Selkirk. It can only be used for boats bound upstream, as those going down run on a faster schCd. ule.
 By the use of this card, readers can estimate the time of arrival at White horse of the boats, the positions of which are daily chronicled by the Daily Alaskan.
 The card is as follows ,the figures be- tween the names of the stations iudi- cate the number of miles they are dis taut from each Other':
