Advance knowledge.

The disadvantage of too much
knowledge in advance in his audi
tors was experienced by that ami
versity preacher of whom all have
read. Knowing the lesson which
he would read, irreverent under
graduates pasted together the pages
of the Bible which he would open.
The result was that he read aloud,
"When Noah was an hundred and
twenty years old he took unto him a
wife who was"-and here he turned
over-"one hundred and forty GU
bits long, forty cubits wide, but of
gopher wood and covered with pitch
inside and out" Naturally the dear
old gentleman was puzzled. 'This
is the first time have noticed this
in the Bible, but I accept it as an
evidence that we are fearfully and
wonderfully made" was his mild
comment.

"The people rule" all right,
but some very glaring inconsist-
encies on their part were developed
by the recent campaign. The Re-
publicans spent over a million and
a half dollars and elected Taft !;
and the Democrats, relying upon
popular contributions by the peo-
pie direct, raised only about $780,
900 for campaign purposes, and
lost out. The people, or very
decided majority o. them, seemed
to vote with the party with the
most money. But 1t is not always
so III politics. Take, for instance,
the running expenses of Governor
Hughes in his last successful cam
paign. His sworn report places
the amount of money spent by
him in the campaign at 1850. He
was elected. Two years ago VIM.
r. Hearst spent $4,000 trying
to have himself elected governor
of New York, and was defeated. /

ACCEPTED HIS ADVICE.

NiSo Sno lawyer
The young lawyer had waited
many days for clients, and still
they did not come. His bills were
mounting higher and higher, and,
sad to say, some of his creditors
were becoming impatient. At this
very minute his tailor, whom he
owed for his last winters overcoat,
was sitting beside his desk uttering
all sorts of dire threats.
"l'll pay you when / can," he
said.
''Well, that doesn't satisfy me-"
retorted the tailor. ''What would
happen, do you think, if I were to
take this matter to the courts and
sue you?"
you'd get judgment, of course"
said the young lawyer.
"Then, in your opinion, you
haven't leg to stand Oh" insisted
the tailor.
'Not leg" returned the brief
less youth.
Every well, then, 1 shall proceed
at once," said the tailor, rising.

the lawyer, with a gleam in his eye.
II shall most certainly accept
your advice" retorted the tailor
sarcastically.
"Goodp said the lawyer. "What
is the amount of your bill?"
"Sixty-eight dollars and fifty
cents" said the tailor.
Cali right" said the lawyer.
Gland over six fifty, please"
"Six ffty!" said the tailor.
"What for?"
'FYou have just consulted me in
the matter Of a suit at law and
have stated that you accept my ad-
vice. My charge for that is $75,
and the six fifty is the difference
between your bill and mine," said
the lawyer. eff I don't hear from

the additional ports of Metlakahtla,
Wrangel. Killisnoo and Sitka, AMI
Davidson and Taku glaciers. On such
trips the round trip is made in about
ten or eleven days, the additional
time allowing longer stops at each
place.
On these trips round-trip passen-
gers make the entire Southwestern
Alaska tour. They are not exclusive
excursion trips, as the steamers han
die their regular local one-way ami
round trip freight and passenger bus
mess in addition to the special rOun /
trip business, a fact which we think
is the very strongest recommends
ton in favor of making the tour of
Southeastern Alaska. Loading and
d.scharging of freight at the various
ports, the coming and going of local
passengers-Alaska merchants, min
ers, cannerymen, etc, adds variety,
and variety you know is the spice of
LIE. Your Alaska merchant, miner
or cannery operator is not, as vol
might suppose, a redshirted, brOgan

a glance just where the ship is at any

Alaska than you ever dreamed II.

you enjoy over excursionists with 1T

crowd surrounding u man in a fit of
some kind, possibly of drunkenness,
Toole made his way through the crowd
by saying: Excuse me, gentlemen,
I'm doctor. Allow me to examine

necktie and opened his shirt and sound
ed his chest, Toole produced with pro-
feSsional gravity some kind of plas-
tiers apparently and applied one to the
patients forehead, one to his throat
and three to his chest. He made his
way back through the crowd to Irv-

Arm of Young Woman Discovered in

Ely, New, Feb. ga human
arm, which physicians say came from
the body of young woman Is or 20
years of age, was found last evening
by City Marshal Hudgkins while he
was gathering chips from his wood
pile. The arm was almost devoid of
flesh, the owner apparently having
been dead for seven or eight months.
Hudgkins is positive that the arm
was not in the woodpile the evening
before the discovery, and thinks that
his dog probably found the bone and
brought it home.
So far as can be learned there was
no disappearance during the last year
