A Catch Question.

OF Bishop Short who held the sec q
st. Asaph. many curious stories are
told. Occasionally he put questions to
candidates for ordination that appar.
nelly had no connection with the dis
charge of their paroehial duties They
tested probably their wit or tact, two
necessary qualifications to public men
but nothing more. One such question
proposed by the bishop as the fol
lowing: (Which has the greatest mum.
Der of legs q cat or no cat?"
AS might be expected. this created q
litter, but the bishop would not take
laugh as the answer, and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. At lasr
one Of the candidates, smiling said ~
should tflink. my lord. cat"
NO. retorted the bishop; "there yoa
are wrong. for cat has four legs, and
90 cat has five" London Telegraph

The PuHed Out Chest.

1.-THE pulled out chest Is delusion
which has succumbed to scientific
knowledge OF the human body" said a
drill officer 1T came into existence
purely for show reasons or from false
analogy. 1t MAS seen that men deep
In the chest We're strong men. and the
old drill sergeants probably imagined
that by making men throw out their
chests they would make them strong,
as we'll as make them look strong
which IS a complete mistake Instead
Of strengthening q man, putting his
chest tends to weaken him. as II
throws q strain upon the heart We
now tell men to be sure and not puff
out their chests. II you puff out yoHr
chest and do dumbbell exercise yon
are to hold the breath. That strains
the heart. Any exercise that prevents
breathing freely IS bad Knotted mus
cles are also wrong. You see a naH
with immense chest muscles and per
haps YOU think he is really an ideal|g
trained man. but such muscles simpl,
bind the chest and tie the heart down.

WILL PRAISE CUTICURA
 AS LONG AS SHE LIVES

"Some four years ago I had the mis- fortune to have my feet get sore. The doctors could not tell me what it was. I used everything l could hear or think of out all to no avail. The feet were all cracked across the bottom as if you had taken knife and cut them every whichway. They would peel up. and, oh, myi how they did hurt when 1 would try to walk - which l was not able to do for a long time. One day one of our neighbors came to our house and asked what was the matter. l showed him my feet and he said he had some Cuticura Ointment which would heal them up. There was only enough to apply once, but l found 1t helped me so much that l sent for O set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and to my great joy, my feet were cured and have never troubled me since. l shall praise Cuticura as long as live for the great help it has been.

WE'RE ALL ALIKE

Are you half as anxious, neighbor, When fellows down and out To go down to him a-smillnR,
 And to help him right-abOut As you are to climb the ladder
 Where some lucky fellow stands, And give him cordial greeting With the strength of both your
 hands?
 Are you half as anxious, brother To go thru long ways and dark, To go down thru ways of sorrow, Ways of grief and ways of cark, To cheer up the burden bearers
 Whose lives are gray and sad, As you are to seek the sunshine Of the smiles of those who're glad? Tell me, do you half as gladly
 Seek the loser in the race As you fight to reach the winner Standing in the glory place With the cheering crowd about him In the limellghrs golden glare? Whats the answer do you ever
 Give the loser half care2 Do you, wh. n the votes are counted And you're purple in the lace Ever mutter Poor devIl!"
 For the man who lost the race? Do you let the cheering thousands Move along, leave you behind Where the loser sits a.hrooding
 Till you tell him "Never mind?" For each race that's won, loser Falters somewhere down the way, For each battle won. the vanquished i Lie all wounded from the fray, For each million made, thousand Through the by-wnYs cry for bread For each bay-wreath won, million Cease 10 climb, with dropping head The time has come," the Walrus said "To talk of various thlngs;" Let's size up our Christian garment" Mark its fit and how 1t chngs; Don't it bind and tear in places?

HEROES

Not all heroes receive medals nor do all heroes have monuments erected to them"
 When the JeG Davis left Fairbanks yesterday, she had on board small contingent of men whose arrival about a year or so ago was as unheralded as was their departure.
 There were on board the little gov ernmeut craft number of those who have made it possible for the people of Interior Alaska to send their messages outside, while the mSil routes were blocked and all me us of land communi. cation had ceased These members of the signal corps have spent many hard days on the trals repairing and fviug up interrupted telegraphic communica- tiou, while the people in the inhabited portions Of the territory were waiting to hear from their family or business relations on the outside world, often forgetfully blaming the government and it's men for not having service that is never interrupted.
 As ir everything else so it is in the telegraph department. Things will, in their very nature go wrong, and how ever progressive aud metropolitan we of Alaska may imagine ourselves to be, still are :here many things that will require some time yet before they reach the highest state of development.
 The telegraph service in Alaska is a spleLdid achievement and the officers and men who have devoted their time and attention to it's installation as we'll as to it's maintenance are entitled to much praise and no censure.
 When iu the extreme cold portions of the winter season the report is received at any of the local stations that the line has parted somewhere-that fierce storm has torn it asunder-out go the Iluemen and forget to return until the break has been found and repaired.
 Such is their work, and whether they turn out in the summer with mil lions of mosquitoes to accompany them or in the winter when the bitter frost makes it's att'ck upon them they are ever Ion deck" ready to serve their country and their fellow. men.
 And for all such work the pay they receive aud tbo consideration extended to them at the hands of the general public is, as rule pitiful and measly Indeed. Some will say of course, that they are only doing their duty; but however that may be they might often walt until the fierce gale has abated or until the cold spell has passed before they leave their quarters:

1t was plain that they did not, so he
settled himself in an armchair with an
ugly glance at his wife and an inso-

went on in silence, Leila and the ma
