GET THE HABIT

This office has just received from an engraver in Denver lot of fine half tone cuts, representing two of the prin- cipal attractions of this section. Two of these cuts are pictures of the horns of moose, caribou, sheep and goats, one is picture of fine mounted moose head, one is of a bunch of ducks and geese and the other is of totem pole--one of the finest in Alaska. We propose to group these cuts and print them upon the backs of letter paper and also upon post cards and keep t..em tor sale.
 If you like the town; if you have any interests here or are glad you live here i; if you wish to have the town known as =e paradise for game hunters and curio seekers, get some of this letter paper with your business head neatly printed upon 1t, and every letter written to any part of the world will be boost. If you have no business and wish to send a brief note to any friend "back Lone3" get few post cards. They do not cost much, and will be great help in getting attention attracted this way.

TEN DAYS OF FUN 4 Gathering of Natives From All Parts Of Southeastern
 Alaska S0CIABILITY WILL BE KING Bring Your Relatives and Friends, and
 Enjoy Yourselves

All arrangements have been made for the big reunion and jubilee which is to commence at Wrangell, December 15, and continue until after Christmas. The natives of Klawack, Shakan, Kasaan, Kaake and Petersburg will be here, and the Klawack and Kasaan brass bands will help to make the affair the success which it promises to be. There will be entertainments almost every night dur ing the whole ten days, and these events will be varied 90 that each will be inter. esting. Band concerts, dances, musical and literary entertainments, etc., will fill up the nights, while the days will be passed with field and aquatic sports. There will be fo,t races, potato races, egg races, sack races, boat races, canoe races, sailing races, weight throwing, jumping and wrestling contests, to the winners of which suitable prizes will be given. It is the aim of the promoters to make this the greatest celebration ever held in southeastern Alaska.
 BUT THAT IS NOT ALL
 If you think there is not going to be anything doing holiday week, you are entitled to one more guess. All former holiday weeks are not 1-2-3 to what the coming one will be. The little town will be awake all the week, and don't overlook the fact. Everybody knows Jack Collins, and they also know that when he undertakes to entertain, there is nothing left undone that will add one iota to the success of the undertaking.
 We'll, what we started to say is that Jack has rented the Red Mems Hall for the entire week commencing Christmas Eve, and each night during the week there will be "doings." The first night, Christmas Eve, there will be big mas querade ball for the whites; Christmas night. a Christmas tree and band con- cert for natives; Wednesday night a big masquerade foa-natiyes, at which various prizes will be giqen; Thursday and Friday nights, just big surprises for everybody; Saturday night, a great big winding-up dance. Each night during the week, coupon will be given to each person who buys ticket. The tickets will all be placed in sealed box, and on Saturday night one number will be drawn from the box. The person hold. ing the corresponding coupon will re- ceive a handsome gold watch. So if you want to have the biggest time of your life, come to Wrangell before the l5th and stay until the finish.

The papers up north have much to say against the destruction of countless numbers of herring by the guano facto- ries. It is said that as many as 200 barrels of these fish are sometimes taken at single haul. As these fish are the chief food of the salmon and halibut, we, too, think that legislation should le enacted which would at least limit the number taken.

I will give you cattle, horses, mules
and farming implements. You will be
furnished with men to work the farm,

In the fall I will send you blankets

NERVOUS DEBILITY
4 Scranton Woman ToIlo How d.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
We'll and Stron0.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
of energy and spirits. The patient 8 eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane ]. Davies, Of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: Some
years ago became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that / felt
wretched. Icould not rest Or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then I
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now have no more
pain in my side, mo- more headaches,
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 80 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams'
Medicine Co., Schenectady, NY. 4.
