Douglas News ]

Recent press dispatches from the na- tional capital indicate that Alaska is about to be rid of that malignant afiie- tion known as John c. Brady, who has misrepresented the people of Alaska, as governor of the district.
 The report of special agent Churc- hill was not favorable to Brady; and he will be allowed to quietly sneak out the back door of publicity. There was Q time when Brady might have retired from public life with at least the re- spect of his fellow citizens, but that time is past and gone, and you never hear him spoken of now as "Honest JohD Brady"
 The fact that Brady was and always has been absolutely incompetent was not sufficient in itself to dislodgs him. However, when the Churchill report revealed the fact that he had used bis official position to aid in the formation and financing of the mining company, that fixed him,

Why do haddocks carry those pc culiar black finger marks near the head? Some tell us that they are a menento of the pressure of St. Peters fingers when he went fishing for the tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast of England they say the devil once de termlned to build a bridge at Filey. His Satanic majesty did not start the bridge for the convenience of the peO- pie, but for the destruction of ships and sailors and the annoyance of fisher men In general In the progress of his work Old Nick dropped his hammer In. to the sea. Snatchlng at it hastily, he caught a haddock, and all haddocks carry the Imprint of his black fingers to this day.

To Cure a Smoky Crate.

Don't be annoyed with smoky CRATES this
fall Don't think that because the fiue is
defective and throws smoke into the room.
or does not draw properly, that there is no
remedy, for according to a fiue expert few
chimneys built for freplaces are so con-
structed that they can not be fixed to give
entire satisfaction.
"a crate fiue with angles is bound to
cause trouble" says this expert, "for un-
less the inside surface of the chimney is
curved and smooth the free outward pas
suit that it strikes the angles of the fiue
and will be thrown back into the room.
! There should be nothing but curves in a
fireplace flue when it is impossible to build
it straight or funnel shape and these
rounded corners should not slant more than
| forty-five degrees. To make sure that the
chimney Is smooth inside it should be lined
with terra Gotta piping and 1t would be we'll
| for every housewife who has been troubled
with bad fues to find out whether or not
the chimney is properly lined.
"If there are no angles and the inside or
| the flue is smooth then the most prolific
i causes of smoky CRATES are eliminated and
| the trouble Is probably in the masonry or
perhaps in the height of the chimney.
'It may be we'll for every woman to know
that q f1ue to draw satisfactorily must come
directly into the center of a fireplace, for
when 1t does not there are always eddies Of
smoke at one side of the crate. Most i'm
portant of all, however, is the size of the
fIue. for unless it is one-fifteenrh as large as
the fireplace there will be difficulties in
burning either wood or coal. No f1ue should
ever be smaller than eight inches square in

to her as If the dog understood every word
he said winding up his instructions to her
by saying that he relied upon her to pilot
me right and to bring me home again with
lots of birds. From the way the setter
looked from her masters face into mine,

barked a couple OF affirmative yelps, l am
free to say that I believe she understood

field, and banged away at the birds right

During this fusllade I noticed that Belle
would stop her work frequently and look
at me in an inquiring way Once or twice
she even came up to me, looked up into
my face, gave little bark or two, and
then started back and worked at flushing
the birds with renewed vigor.
FINALLY, just as I had about expended
all my ammunition without hitting single
bird, 1 saw Belle suddenly stop, take a
long look in my direction, as though some
dog idea of hers had been confirmed. Then
she bounded toward me, gave few banks
when she got near, which were undoubt-
edly expressive Of the deepest dog disgust
for me as sportsman, and away she
scampered as tight as she could go, over
the fields and through the woods to the
house
IT followed little later very much crest

the slightest attention to me during the

Where a crate fire does not throw out
