Less than a year ago Speaker

Less than year ago Speaker Cannon said in congress that Alas ka was a worthless possession. A A few days visit to Southeastern Alaska has caused radical change in the opinion of that gentleman as to the value of the territory, and while he is not willing at this time to put himself on record as favoring delegate to congress from Alaska, he will, we believe, be counted as friend of the measures for the benefit of this country here after presented to congress rather than an active opponent as hereto. fore. This change of sentiment has been the experience of every mem- Der of congress who has visited
 
 Alaska. Instead of finding the wilderness they expected they have found country of enormous pos abilities; one whose resources will add to the wealth of the nation to an extent as great as any other sec tion of the United States of equal area. They have found brave. self reliant, hard working people, who are giving the pest years of their lives, their strength and their capital to the development of this great empire, and who ask from the government but little. The request for representation in con gress that the needs of the country may be intelligedtlv presented to those who leglslate for Us Is only justice to which We are entitled, and when the law makers of the nation shall have cast aside their prejudice born of ignorance, and knew us as We are, We shall receive that consideration which is our due.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVEE
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from rouble
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most Of them come from pool
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper.
fectly nourished and pain is the way il
which they express their weakness. Ii
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritate.
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu.
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. Ii
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deader
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head.
aches caused by anemia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me a great dea,
Of good. 1 had headache nearly all the
time. After I had taken three boxes Of
these pills I became entirely we'll"
"How long had you suffered ?' she
was asked.
"For several years. I can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for il
came Oh by slow degrees. I had beer
going down hill for many years"
did you have any other ailments?"
"Iwas very weak and sometimes Ihac
fever. My liver and kidneys were at

"How did you come to take the rem

statement of some person who was curet

toner had been a constant caller at the
Benton homestead. and despite the
fact that Elinor had not yet finished
her school days, was persistent in at
tenticns that showed to all society he
had become infatuated with her radiant
beauty-that the man of 80 eagerly
sought the girl of II as his wife. On
the other hand, McKinnon had noted
with jealousy u~nspeakable, that the
frank. joyous, boy and girl friendship
that had existed throughout the lads
school days had given place to IKE half
shy, half hesitant, yet strangely sweet
relationship of early love, pure yet pas.
sionate. McKinnon was a keen stu
dent, a rising man at the bar, a bril-.
liant Jury" lawyer and just the one
needed to strengthen the somewhat
slow and ponderous combination of the
old firm. Benton, a lawyer of the old
school, held his young partner in high
esteem if not, indeed, in a certain awe,
due to the daring and successful meth
DDS that had distinguished him eve
since his call to the bar. On the other
hand, he was not well pleased with his
sons choice of an intimate. Paul La.
due was a dreamer, an idler, a poet
perhaps what the stern, hard-headed
old deliver in facts and figures called
"a lapdog sort of a fellow" And now
the war had come. The flag had been
lowered in defeat at Sumter. The men
of Massachusetts had been mobbed in
the streets of Baltimore. The first
levies in the far west had clashed with
the enemy in Missouri, and hostile ar
mics were arrayed upon the sacred soil
of Virginia. Now when the young
men of the Badger state were f1ocking
to the recruiting offices, and companies
and regiments were being filled to over
flowing, when Damon, trimming with
patriotic zeal and energy, was seeking
a commission in the union volunteers,
Pythias, Paul Ladue, was known to be
writing frequently, doubtless urgently,
to his native state-the state that had
banished and impoverished him, yet
could not Danish from his soul the old
time loyalty and love. 1t had amazed
and offended many of these, his north
ern friends who had welcomed and
cheered him in the hour of his adver-
sity. 1t had s~candalized one man who
had never shown him sympathy at all
the man now standing uneasily be-
fore him, unable to face the stern gilt
ter in his speaking eyes. 1t was final
ly Paul who spoke:
"You say the postmaster should dc
his duty, Mr.. McKinnon," said he, con-
tempt and hot hatred in his trembling
voice. by opening my letters, do you
mean? Somebody has been doing that
already, and | believe you know
who!"

DISCIPLE OF SOCIALISM.
Mike Was Willing to Share with His
Fellows Anything BE
Didn't Have.

Once, as the story goes, two Irishnien
were engaged in a discussion, when Pat
asked Mike what socialism was, relates the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
We'll, socialism is sort of an equal d.
vision of property declared Mike. What's
mine is yours and what's yours is mine.
That's the idea.'
"'lf you had $4,000 0 asked Pat,
would you give me 81, 900, 0OO?"
"'I would that said Mike. That's ac-
cording to my principles
IF you had two houses would you
give M one Of them was Pats next
question. Mike insisted that he would.
And if you had two fine horses would
you give me oneg
Mike declared that he would follow his
principles.
And if you had two goats would you
give me one of them?' finally asked Pat.
81 would not. | have them,' declared
the socialistic disciple"
And there is not in the books, be it re-
membered in these days when so many
men are pretending to be socialists, a bet
ter definition of socialism than that.

somebody in authority sought to dis
suade the young man if it should prove
that he was seeking service with the
Alabama troops.
Meantime the two young people had
gone on toward the Benton homestead.
Away down town there came the sound
of distant cheering, for another mass
meeting was being held in Market
Square and a gifted orator from Chica-
sc was being presented to the throng.
Up here near the bluffs overlooking
the great inland sea, all was still.
Elinor Benton looked warily within
as they reached the gate in front of
the quaint colonial house that had been
her home since babyhood. Voices, in
low-toned chat, floated out to her from
the broad veranda, and with hardly
a shadow of hesitation the girl turned
and followed when her partner said,
Let us go back to the bluff a little
while" When they reached the edge
of the bluff Ladue turned to her and
his voice trembled as he asked,
You heard Fred's question:"
An almost inaudible YES" was the
sole response.
"What-do you think fought to
do?" he wistfully, slowly asked. For
a moment she could not reply. When
the words came-for she was only six
teen, and the position most trying-her
clear young voice had a pathetic, trem-
ulous undertone.
How can I Judge? Almost any n
would say your duty was here-yet-
| know-your hearts there" And
as she spoke the heart in her own pure
young bosom was throbbing hard. Fol
another little while there was silence,
broken only by the sound of distant
cheering from the center of the town
