ITCHING HyM0R
 ON LITTLE BOY
His Hands were a Solid Mass, and
 Disease Spread All Over His Body -In Four Days the Child was
 Entirely Cured-MOther Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
 SOAP AND OINTMENT

"One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed 1t on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores, etc. that l thought I would get them. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. l went to the drug store and purchased a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night ] stripped my little boy and took the CutiCura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then l dried him with a soft bath towel. and took the Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him thoroughly with it. l did this every evening before l put him to bed and in three or four nights he was entirely cured You have my permission to publish this because anybody who suf- fered as my baby did ought to know of the Cuticura Remedies. l will surely and gladly recommend the Cuticura Remedies. for they are a godsend to all suffering with skin diseases.

HOW TIE BATTLE HAS MOVED

During the progress of the cam paigu which closed last night the line of battle moved back and forth sev- eral times. First it was all Taft. The asgressiveness of NIT. Bryan changed this. caused his stock to go up considerably. Mir. Hearst dip ped effectively into the campaign and struck hard right and left but making most inroads upon the ranks Of NIr. Bryan-where he intended to. Then Mr. Roosevelt stirred the Taft committee to renewed energy with the result that Taft seems to have gained rapidly toward the last

THEODORE AND HIS THANKSGIVING
President Roosevelt has issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
 This is pretty good, if left to itself, as YOU must admit. But there is another thought iu this connection which can not be allowed to pass. Mir. Roosevelt HAS Co issue a Thanksgiving prOcla- nation. Imagine his feelings if af'er the election Of Bryan that duty still deyolved upon him. Wo der it this thought occurred 10 him when, on the 2ud Of the month he issued paper that related to 8 matter SO far 10 advance as as the 25,h. Is is no doubt another illustration of that wonderful fore thought that characterizes one Of the very greatest presidents and which has prevented his ever being caught mapping ID his own affairs. and which has marked him for success from the beginning. The Alaskan is willing 10 join in tue betting a, three to one On Taft and these observations will not, therefore, be taken as a hiut of it's lean iugs in the matter but only as an another occasion to make it's obeisauce to the man of large afaiEs who yet over looks DO detail in his precau,iou against being caught iu an uncomfortable position. They are betting three to one in favor of Taft, but there is the one chance iD three, you see. No Thanksgiving proclama- tion after Bryan is elected for us-Eh, Teddy? And our thanksgiving proc auatiou, issued on the day BEFORE election, serves the purpose of campaign document aud ought to, and DO doub. it wal, make votes. We are a great people.

NEW PLACERS
 IN THE YUKON
FRUITFUL TRIP TO THE35 OLD GASSAR

New placers have been discovered iu Yukon. In Dawson are stephen Sweeney and Nm. O. varscen. who returned a few days ago from a trip of exploration taking nearly one year, says the Dawson News. They bring back with them wealth of ex- perience, and a poke of gold taken from this neighborhood. It goes over nineteen dollars in value
 The explorers are Yukoners. The new placers are in the hills which di- vide the headwaters of the Pelly and of the Liard. The bars of High land creek, which is the name given to the stream, yielded slo a day to the most primitive methods.
 Sweeney and Varscen are Yukon. CTS. A year ago they were working ground in the Klondike, when they decided to make the trip via Gas. siar and Dease lake to the head of the Pelly. and thus to Dawson again. Last fall they repaired to the out, side. This spring they proceeded to Wrangeu. thence up the Suckeen. and into the Cassiar. All the dig. gings of that region were visited, and then the travellers struck west, pan ming the streams as they proceeded. Saturday night MT Sweeney was pre- vailed upon to relate the trip to those assembled at the free informa. ton bureau of the Miners and Mcr- chants association. Said Mir Swee- ney:
 "Ir is a wonderful country up there showing gold on the bars over great area. We were unable to sink a single hole to bedrock on account of the lack of frost. You may talk the White Channel of this district, but it is only a drop in the bucket to the White Channel up there. There the White Channel is both wider and deeper. and at the same time can readily be traced by the eye to an extent which makes this White Chan nel look insignificant. There it has been cut deeply by the streams, and shows in some places vertical banks a hundred feet in height-the white gravel showing exactly the same characteristics as here.
 Gold can be found anywhere on the tributaries of Highland, which abounds in white channel deposits.
 
 While passing through that country we met the man Fisher who became famous some years ago by starting to look for the fabulous Lost creek of that region. Lost creek is sup posed to have furnished a big load Of gold for man who died out in civilization before he could describe where he found it. Fisher went in the Francis lake country up there, and for three years lived on meat straight. But when we met him he

MANS HEADGEAR.
from the Primitive Cap 10 the 0lossy
Hieh Hat Of Today.


High Hat Of Today.
Earliest Of alI forms OF headgear was
the cap. The hat did not really come
into common use till the seventeenth
century. IN the time Of Charles /. the
queer high sugar loaf shaped hat came
into fashion. II was wound with a
rich band and trimmed with feather
Constant balancing OF the head was
necessary to keep II on. The hat was
taken up by the Purltans, who salts
fied their bitter conscicnces by discard
Ing the frivolous band and the wicked
feather.
Charles II. brought the French perl
wig into England, and the tall hat
went out TO make way for low, broad
brimmed thing, gorgeous with feathers
and gimcracks. These broad brims be-
came broader and broader AT last It
became necessary to turn them up.
First this was done at the back, finally
according TO the wearer's idea.
Out OF this extravagant style Of head
gear grew the cooked hat. The foot.
men and the liveried coachmen Of
many European nations still wear this
style Of headgear During Queen Apne's
time the cooked hat was the hat Of the
gentleman. The correct fashion was
TO carry II under the arm as much as
possible.
The French revolution, which took
or 80 many heads that had worn the
cooked hat, took or the cooked hat too.
In its place the crescent shape became
the style, partly by force. The direct
ancestor of that dreadful thing, the
high hat OF today, was the noble and
sturdy beaver Beavers went out of
fashion largely because the supply Of
material became exhausted. London
