LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP
 FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. c. Tuson, of Livermore, Cal. writes: T picked up from my door, step one day little book in which I soon became very much interested. My little girl of five years of age had been troubled for a long time with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run down and in very delicate condition.
 This little book was very compre- hensiyely written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele- ments of the cod's liver from the oil, eliminating the obnoxious oil which is so hard for children to take.
 "Just the thing said I, for my little daughter and immediately went for bottle of Vinol. It helped her won derfully. She has gained rapidly in flesh and strength, and she does not take cold half so easily.
 q am extremely grateful for the good it has done her, and hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefited by my experience and just give Vinol trial"

DOWN ON THE FARM.

The stars were glimmering over head when the farmer rose from his downy bed; he yelled as he rapped on the bedroom door; Get up, boys, up. It is nearly four. When was young and as spry as you, l always got out of bed at two! Boys nOwaday aren't worth a hang; never saw such a lazy gang; it's four o'clock and you re still in bed, and the cows not milk ed and the hogs not fed! l reckon you'd sleep all day and more, if l didn't break down the bedroom door. Get up, get up! It will soon be dawn, and the best of the morning then is gone." The boys obeyed him and quit their snores, and donned their raiment and went out doors. The farmer sat. by the kitchen range, where his wife. was working, and said: Its strange, how the boys are crazy to quit the tarm-the city life has a wondrous charm. They have lots to eat and a place to sleep, and they're always sure Of their board and keep, and why they're anxious to quit the land Is something cannot understand" " The good wife said, in an undertone, as she placed in the skillet a piece of bone, and stuck her fork in some. thingumyjigs: Its maybe because they are not pigs."-walt Mason.

KILLING THE SALMON.

Ten thousand people are in the sal mon-catching and canning. The sea son is short and the harvest Is said to be uncertain. The salmon run, as 1t is cared-the plunge of the mat ing pairs to the nesting grounds far up stream from the sea, last from one to three weeks only. Yet four to five million cases, each containing forty-elght one-pound cans, are packed annually, with Iorty-two millions of fish. and the market value of the product is twenty-eight millions of dol lars. There are two hundred canning plants along the Pacific coast from California to Alaska and so many thousands of snares for the tnny vic tims that newcomers in the trade act paIIv have difficulty to find places in

PRESIDENT IS SURPRISED.

Press dispatches state that Presi- dent Taft was surprised at the storm Of protests raised by his declaration against home rule. He was quoted as saying uuofncially that he would make no recommendations to Con grass touching the interests of this territory until after he had visited The northland.
 We hope this Is true. at least, so far as self government is concerned. He would find an entirely different state of affairs from what he has been led to believe. Judging from his remarks, the interests" and not the common people, have given him his views of Alaska and Alas kans.
 With every newspaper in the ter ritOry declaring for home rule, save two controlled by corporations, it is not a difficult matter to guage the public sentiment. Newspapers, not serving special interests, may be de pended upon to voice the sentiments of their respective communities.
 The community interests are their interests and the nearer a paper can come to serving these, the greater will be the influence and sphere of usefulness. We are satisfied that Mr. Taft will reconstruct his views once he is made acquainted with the real conditions in Alaska, When he sees and understands the aims, views and ambitions of the representative American citizens of this Northland, he will not want to deny them the privileges that are now extended to natives in other insular possessions. -Cordoya North Star.
