"eREsNLAND's rcY MOUNTAINS

"A Junior Linotype in the office of The Daily Alaskan. Skagway. Alaska, and three in San Juan newspaper of, nces in Porto Rico. remind us of that old hymn. From Greenland's Icy Mountains, From Iudia's Coral strand
 The above appeared in the last issue of The Linotype Bulletin. pub Hshed in Chicago. III.
 We are not possessed Of carpins spirit, but it seems to us that Chicago can bu, lily afford to refer to Alaska as being among "Greenland's icy mountains. If our memory serves us correctly-aud 1t does-Chicago was in thc throes of a terrific blz. gard about the time the above allu- sion was printed. At the same time the temperature in Skagway was more than I5 degrees above zero and there was not an inch of snow on the ground Temperature tables for the year around will probably give Chicago a colder climate than Skag way.
 The reference to Skagway as be- ing among "Greenland's icy noun. tains is spread broadcast through, out the world. It creates a false i'm. pression. In reality We have mild and beautiful weather. But owing to just such ignorance as is displayed by the Linotype Bulletin, nine out of every ten people in the states think o' Alaska as a land of perrenial ice and snow.
 It's time this sort of thing stopped. It's hurting Alaska There's only one way to stop it. That's by ad- vertising. Advertise Skagway and Alaska and show the people of the states just what our climate and re, sources really are.

Capt. w. A. Reid, who is represent. ing the Helen Gould Y. M C. A. work in Alaska. recently staged two plays at Fort Seward for the entertain ment of the officers and soldiers at the post and of the residents of Haines. The plays presented were "Chrysanthemum" and "A Proposal Under Difficulties" and both perform auces reflected great credit upon the caste and director. The parts were taken by Mir. and Mrs. Reid, Dr. Paul Hutton and Miss Reynolds, daughter of Col. Reynolds, The plays were thoroughly appreciated.
 By the Kindness of Col Reynolds a temporary stage has been erected in one of the vacant barracks where plays can be given and where "smok CTS" under Mr, Rctd's direction are held from time to time for the en- listed men. These affairs do much to break the mouotony of the long win, ter.
 Another play. "A Box of Cigar. ,tts." will soon be staged at Fort Seward and is it rumored with proper encouragement there is chance that the "Amateur Association" of Fort Seward will present the play at Skagway. the receipts to go to char itable purposes.

 Illustrative of the exasperatlng ease with which chickens occasionally come home to roost Is this story from "A SoldiC~'s Letters to Charming Nellie On q day iu June. lSS!, in the early part of the civil war General Hood of the Texas brigade halted each regl- ment In turn and gave his orders. To the Fourth he said
 Soldiers of the Fourth, I know as little of your destination as you do. If, however. any of you learn or suspect 1t, keep 1t a secret. To every one who asks questions answer, T don't know. We are now under the orders of Gen eral Jackson. and I repeat them to you"
 General Jackson also gave strict or ders against foraglng. but apples were plentiful, and it was contrary to nature for hungry soldiers not to eat them, and so 1t came about that on the march to Stauntou General Jackson came upon Texan sitting on the limb of an apple tree busily engaged in filling his haverSack with the choicest fruit.
 The general refined In his old sorreI horse and In his customary curt tone asked:

 "Is your command ahead of you or behind youT

 Thus 1t went on, "I don't know giv- en as answer to every question. Final ly Jackson asked stcrnly:

 "Cause thems the orders our gen eral gin us this mornln, an he tole us he got 'em that CT way straight from ole Jackson" replied the man in the tree.
 Disguised with too literal obedi- ence to his own commands, but yet not caring to argue the point, General Jackson rode on.

"My brother had eczema three diff ferent summers. About tho same time each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. He used diff ferent kinds of medicines that were said Co be good for that disease, but nothing seemed Go do him much good. When it came on the third summer, he bought box Of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faithful trial. Soon ho began to feel better and he cured himself entirely with Cuticura and has never been bothered with eczema since. He also used Cuticura to cure bunch over his eve and a terrible corn which was SO bad that he could not wear his shoe. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daugh- ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back.
