 CONGRATULATI0N

R. c. Turner, Of the Alaska Iron company, returned by the Princess Bea- trice from his trip to Seattle. He is in high feather because of the several things incident to his trip. One of these is that the shipment that went down with him and Captain Brown proves that the ore of the New England mine is as high grade at depth as was the washed bunch taken out higher up' roundly slOO to the ton. It is the rich est ore ever handled at the TYee smell ter, he says. Another thing was the reception given them at Victoria. They had only to report the need of more money on the part of the government road builders to complete the road from the boundary to Rainy Hollw and the required sum was appropriated. The road will be completed at once. MT. Turner says Captain Brown is in Maine, visiting his folks, but will be back early in the spring.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
HeaIth is Worth Saving and Some AIaslra People Know How 10 Save It.


 Many Alaska people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kid neys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsi- ble for vast amount of suffering and m health, but there is no need to sut- fer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and paines due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per manently cured by the use of Deans Kidney Pills.
 P. Lammeh. 121 North Terry Ave Seattle, Wash, says: Ut is now three years since gave testimonial recom- mending Doau's Kidney Pills after the prompt and satisfactory manner in which this remedy had relieved me Of kidney trouble which had affected me off and on for number of years. Just prior tn using Doan's Kidney Pil's, my suffering had become more severe, and one day wvs taken suddenly with at- tscks of sharp pains through my Joins and bladder. l sent for doctor who f finally used catheter. This gave me great relief at the time but still l had trouble afterwards with irritation oi the bladder and with the disordered action of my kidneys. I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted very promptly and directly on the parts affected, so that the bladder trouble dis appeared and in other way found great realief. This was several years ago but still I am Q hearty advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend them to all sufferers from Kidney trouble"

Science In fiousework.

There used to be q time when the
young housewife was content to do
things just as her mother did them,
but in this day of scientific expedients
the object should be to have way OF
ones own, making sure that 1t is bet
ter than the old way before adopting
It. Above all things the right state OF
mind should be brought TO the prob
lem OF housework and the young
housekeeper should make up her mind
that her work must be well done, but
that she is not going TO be a drudge.
Make it as interesting as possible by
planning each thing to be done, not
as a task, but as problem to be
solved by getting the best results with
the least expenditure of energy.

BIRD LIFE HUMAN ESSENTIAL.

death and executed as rapidly as
means may be found. A glance at the
daily food list of the English sparrow
(passer domestlcus) gives sufficient
reason fer his death sentence. AS a
matter of fact. however. the bill OF
fare does not tell half the tale. The
sparrow. not content with being al
most wholly grain eater, does its
best to kill off the tribes of birds that,
ignoring grain. seek as food the pests
which prey upon the vegetation.
Friends of the sparrow may say
that its grain is largely the waste
grain of tho city streets, but the
sparrow is spreading all over the
face OF the lana and is becoming the
dread foe of the farmer in the fields of
corn and wheat.
A pair of house wrens started TO
build nest in box which had been
nailed on the top of post in the rear
of city residence. The person who
Pvt up the home for Jenny and her
husband made the mistake of cutting
too large hole for an entrance. Aft
er the nest was completed and the
eggs were laid two English sparrows

sence of the wrens, broke all the eggs
and threw large part of the nest out

FROZEN TEA NEW DAINTY.
Introduced at Washington by Wife Of
Chinese Minister.

Frozen tea is among the delicacles
OF the season. and Is regarded as de-
lightful. The way Nine. Wu. wife of
the Chinese diplomat and wit, serves
II is interesting. The tea Is made as
carefully as II an empress was to Inn
bibe It.
Freshly-boiled water is poured on
the leares and is permitted TO steep
for exactly six minutes, when it is
poured into an lce-cold mold ard put
into the freezer.
Frozen tea is served with one table
spoonful of frozen unflavored cream
and one of lemon ice on the regular
frozendalnty saucer. 1t is the COM
ing ice and already is growing in
popularity.
Another frozen food fad relates to
nutmeg canteloupe. The meat OF tho

q slight taste OF sugar, cinnamon and
nutmeg. and is then put back In the

and flowers at the edges.

THE MAN WHO

guest occupied room 63 The tragedy
of the preceding day had been the
event of his life, and he had not as yet
descended to the triGes of his daily
routine.
AS he tapped briskly at the door OF
room GO and put his hand upon the
knob to enter, IL suddenly cane over
him that he had done precisely such
a thing before. That at about that
time of some other morning he had
been summoned by the call-bell to
room 63-had knocked turned the
knob, entered -and--a loud cry, a
shout thick with horror, broke from
the mans lips, and he reeled back into
the hallway.
There before him, in the center Of
the fateful room, half-dressed, battling
with the invisible air, with blue lips
and protruding eyes, stood The Man
Who Did Things Twice.
The ominous, ghostly hush that fol-
lowed the frightened attendants cry
was quickly broken by the hurry of
many feet, and soon again the he tel
was aroused and again DIR. Thiel bent
over the PROSTATE and dying Henry
Hobart
Outside and distinctly could be heard
the clang of the fire-bells, but in the,
room Of death all was sudden silence,
all were hushed by the frightful, ghost
ly thought that the scene before them
had been enacted before-the dying
man with his discolored face and
struggling hands, the physician bend
ing over him, the alarmed, plying
faces of the gathered guests, and the
frightened servants huddled in the
! background. And the man must die
die as he had died!
They looked on, and waited. Then
the end came, and DR.. Thiel, arising,
said: "He is dead!" He had uttered
those words once before and under
like conditions. And the guests and
the servants spoke together in horri-
| fed whispers, as they had done be-
| fore; then the assembly broke up and
| the hall way was cleared as before.
There was something immeasurably
painful about it all, to live a thing
over in that frightful way, to be, as it
were, mere puppets at q show, and one
day to be to another day as a reflection
in mirror.
For time those who had wit
messed both tragedies seemed to live
in kind of trance, and moved about
and whispered together like beings in
dream; but finally the natural re;
asserted itself, and then curiosity
seized them.
What was the meaning of it? Henry
Hobart had died and his body had been
mutilated by the surgeons knife. How
