Pretty Lena Winters tripped into
the shoe store of E. Perkins & Co.
and walked directly up to the sour
visaged proprietor.
20, Mr.. Perkins," she said, in her
most coaxing tones and manner,
won't you buy a ticket to the wish
bone social our church is to give
Thursday night-only rs cents?"
She looked so sweet and winsome
that Walter Hodge, standing near,
wondered how anyone could refuse
her anything she asked.
Twenty-Five cents. however, looked
more handsome to E. Perkins than
any vision of feminine beauty.
"No, I WON'T" he snapped out. ''It's
nothing but give. give all the time,
and the more we give the bigger the
church debt grows. It's just big
steal cloaked under rummage sales,
fairs and all kinds of tomfoolery-

."Oh, Mr.. Perkins," she said, "you
don't know how hard we work. It's
no play to get up church entertain

II tell you that you don't know
what work is. I'd give 500 to see
any two of you church women do a

you'd know what real work isl
Deacon Holmes had dropped in dur

some sort of an entertainment this
week. My wits suggested nothing
but a wishbone social. Now l shall
do as you suggest. With your 500
and the number of tickets l shall sell

church will realize handsomely"
What do you mean? Come back
here!" cried Mr.. Perkins.
But Lena was vanishing down the
street That night in the tri-weekly

in the latter's office at the capitol.
After shaking hands with the star
the speaker backed off from him, tip

at him critically, exclaimed: "Well, do

Mr.. Perkins gasped and paled
and foamed at the mouth when he
read this. He swore it was an out
rage and put-up job, and that he
would not pay it. 1t was all trick
of that little upstart of Lena Winters,
but Deacon Holmes and Walter
Hodge quietly reminded him that they
were witnesses, and that the offer
and transaction had been explicit and
exactly as Miss Winters had stated.

A JUDIClOUS INQUIRY.

A well known travelling man who visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine, whether it was wanted for child or for an adult, and if for child they almost invariably recommend Cham. berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason for this is that they know there is no danger from it and that it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsurpassed. For sale by J. Heubner,
 Official proclamation has been made ordering a redivision of the mining dis tricts of Sixty-MiIe and Dawson, by which a section from the latter district the territory tributary to the Sixty Mile river including Boucher creek and excluding Gold creek--is added to the former The encouragement will, it is said, greatly convenience miners working on, and in the vicinity of, Boucher creek.

The Skagway Alaskan, published in a town that boasts of republican club having over 200 members, and dem- ocratic club with God knows how many, emits the following nonsense: The people of Douglas are moving to have a straw election on the national election day. It is hoped they will abandon the plan. The people of Alaska should do nothing to encourage a division on political lines. Particularly is that the case at the present time when one of the parties has inserted plank in it's platform declaring in favor of territor- iaI government for the district while the other party has remained silent on thesubject; the people of Alaska should under no circumstances show by a straw ballot or otherwise that they are indifferent to the fact that the dem- ocratic national convention has promis- ed to them the boon for which they have prayed so long nor should repub- licans be asked to vote for Parker even for amusement in order to be loyal to Alaska when the exegencies of the oc- casion do not require it. Since the foregoing was written, it is learned that the Roosevelt republican club of Skagway has decided to challenge the Skagway democratic club to straw contest,

A UnlCeG States senator, from one of the Pacific Coast States, is reported to have said ae Alaska might have al most anything she wanted, within req son, were it not for the fact that her people did not pull together-that one clique wanted one thing, and one want. ed another; that they did not seem to be able to unite on any measures that would suit all, says the Council City News. That such is the case, there can be little doubt. Want of harmony has done more to retard Alaskan legisla- tion than any other thing. It may well be argued that the needs of Alaska are so numerous, her interests so diversi- fled, her geographical situation so unique, her general condition so sin gular, that the difficulty of meeting on the ground of common benefit is pe- culiarIy hard. Nevertheless, there are matters which would necessarily tend toward the advantage of all. Primarily we need representation. If we cannot get representation from each division, let us, unite in demanding the best that ue can, under the circumstances. If we are to have no voice in this appoint ment, let us join in securing the best method of appointment obtainable, and if we are unable to secure appro- priations or sorely needed legislation, let us force the entering wedge as far as it will go, and join in ramming it home. Our internal squabbles, however much they may serve to vary the mo- notony of the winter, are neither anus ing or interesting to the general pub lie, nor are they profitable to ourselves. It is safe to predict that on these lines we shall in time, be able to impress our wants upon congress, and obtain fa- yorable hearing, a cousummation that is unreachable, while discord continues rife.
