Animals
 Taken Fla st

Alfred B. Durham, chief game warden of the Alaska division, with headquarters at Nome, took to New York a varied and unique collection of Alaskan animals to exhibit at the sportsmen's show there last November.
 MT. Dunham's collection em- braces some of the rarest auim als of the far north. They were cap tured in the vicinity of Nome, and have been carefully tanned and trained. Mir. Dunham took with him six Alaskan white foxes, three ptarmigan and a brown crane, one of the most rare Alaskan birds known. They have all been tanned SO that they can be handled by their master as easily IS domestic ami malls that are usually found about the house as pets. His brown crane will sit on his shoulder and be car ried all over town. and will fly to meet him when he approaches the birds cage, The white foxes are almost as tame as dogs, and are covered with heavy coat of fur that is as soft and fine as silk Skagway Alaskan.

To attempt ~ cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications Is foolish waste Of

Delays in adopting n sensible treatment

At any moment reach tho heart and prove

sufferers is to get tho best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephensnn's experience with this
obstinate aud distressing affection 10

About n year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains IN my lefs
shoulder. Tho pains wero worse in wes
weather, and ut these periods caused mo
the greatest suffering. tried number
of treatments and ointmenta, but they
Jailed TO alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only n surface in
iication. He adds:
~ had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended rs n cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
was getting no relief from applications.
I made up my mind that would try
them. Before tho first box was gone
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent. and that they were not SD
severe rs before. After the second box
had been used mp was entirely FREQ
from discomfort. and l have had no traces
Of rheumatism since"
Tho change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives ut No.li5
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found tho true means for the purih-
cation and enrichment Of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt tho best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures In

the ache. but they expel the poison from
