BOY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUMOR
Almost Covered with ECzema--NO Nights Rest for Nearly a Year Feared Lifelong DiSfgurement- All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Near
PERFECT RECOVERY
 IS DUE TO CUTICURA

"With the exception of his hands and feet. my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him Tor nearly a wear without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all m their power, vet nothing seemed to re- lieve him. And l had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they nll failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large sCab5 which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Many time he looked as u his ears would drop of. Friends com inc to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life.
 "When it seemed as it he could pos sibly stand it no longer, l decided % try Cuticura. l bought a cake Of Cutl- cUra Soap, a box of Cuticqra OnJmlehyi and a bottle of CutiCura Resolvent. J used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly O year that he sIeDt. This may sound exaggerated to you, but in the morning there was Q great change for the better. In aboug six weeks you could not have told that hehad ever had anything gwrongwlth hlm. | treated him twice O day for six months and at present he has @ fine complexion and not a scar on his body. This story
 may seem overdrawn, but neither words nor pen can describe Clyde's suherlng and how he looked. Our leading phy- sician.

FOOLED THE CITY.

Ono of tho HOax0s PerPetrated by
 Theodore Hook.
 In the early part of the nineteenth century great preparations were made in England to receive a Spanish am- bassador who was expected to arrive at Southampton. A mlSchieyous Idea came into the head of Theodore Hook C5orn 17SS. died 1SID, novelist and journalist and above an contriver of that diversion known as the hoax. The English fleet was lying off Southamp- ton. Hook. then a young man, knew many of tEe younger officers. He formed his scheme, and one morning launch set out from the fleet and drew up at the quay,
 In this launch was he who purported to be the Spanish ambassador in al- most royal robes, arrived two days be- fore the expected time. The mayor of Southampton. who was to receive the Spanish envoy, was greatly clustered. It was all so sudden. He did the best he could. Several companies of sol dlers, some on foot, some mounted, were called out. The bells were rung. The ambassador. accompanied by a number of young officers of the feet was escorted with much pomp to the mayors palace. There was a banquet and speechmaking, one of the young officers acting as interpreter for the ambassador.
 After 1t was over and the Spanish envoy was supposed to be on his way to London the true ambassador arriv- ed. There was but a sorry reception for hlm. The other ambassador, who was Theodore Hook, having perpeTat- ed the greatest hoax ever known on a mayor and city, had exhausted the hospitality of the town. The scan dal was so great, the mayor and the people of Southampton had been SO outrageously cold. that to make any stir about the affair would only cause them to be laughed at all the more. With the exception of the dismissal of some of the naval officers who had taken part in it little was done, and the affair was allowed to blow over.- IndlauaDolis News.

 After reading the public statement of this fellow-sufferer given below you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the Kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perform the same work in other cas- es. Read this:

Cheyenne St., Tacoma, Wash, says: q gave a state ment for publication, telling of my ex perience with Deans Kidney Pills som years ago and I am now pleased to confirm all then said in their favor. ] was afflicted with kidney trouble and finally became so bad off that I was obliged to give up my work. l had dull, heavy pains through my kidneys and on one occasion was confined to my bed for almost a month. The unnatural condition of the kidney secretlons also plainly de- noted that my kidneys needed atten- tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid ney Pills, procured a box and be- gan their use. l felt great relief from the first and before long my trouble was entirely disposed of. l have since had no return of kidney complaint"

SEATTLE EXPERT SAYS THAT
 MINES ONLY NEED RAILWAY

and it should be a source of self congratulatlOu to all Aloskans to know that the Red Skins not only know how to earn a livelihood under civilized conditions but that they know the value of our currency. It is better
 that they should be self-supporting, than that they should be wards of the government.
 q look for a great growth in your population in the next few years. This increase, of course, will be due to the development of the varied nat uraI resources of your country. Cap itaI, while always tlmid, is at the same time looking for investment and just as soon as the investing public can be convinced of the wonderful mineral possibilities of the country adjacent to Haines an era of unprece- dented prosperity and advancement along all commercial lines will unfold itself.
 The one great obstacle retarding material advancement of Haines and it's tributary territory is the lack of railroad facilities and while consider able headway has been made with wagon transportation in hauling ore from Rainy Hollow yet no great re- suits can be expected until a railroad can be projected and constructed. The quality of ore being shipped from Halnes to the Tacoma shelter is far superior to that of any ore being re- ceiyed at that point and if the cop per interests can market their orep pro ntably by utilizing expensive and in- adequate wagon transportation for a distance of sixty miles 1t can readily be seen how the construction and operation of railroad would bring about greater development of the vast and varied mineral resources of the country."-Haines Pioneer Press.

Openina an Oyster.

"The Cooks Oracle" a book which was never far from the kitchens of our great-grandmothers, is very precise in its directions as to the proper manner of preserving and eating oysters, says an English journal "Ihe true lover of an oyster" writes the author, twill have some regard for the feelings of his little fayorite aud will never aban- don it to the mercies of a bungling Op- erator but will open it himself and contrive to detach the fish from the shell so dexterously that the oyster is hardly conscious he has been elected from bis lodging till he feels the teeth of the piscivorous gourmaud tickling him to death"

Captain W. s. Brown, president of the Alaska Iron company, accompan- jed by F. Fluis Fox of Seattle, ar rived in Halnes Saturday after ten days trip to Rainy Hollow, B. C., where the mining properties of the company are located,
 Capt Brown and Mir Fox came up on the Jefferson recently for the pur- pose of inspecting the copper fields Rainy Hollow. Upon their return they were met by a representative of the Pioneer Press and spoke very enthus- iastlcally of the prospects of an early development Of the copper mines in which the Alaska Iron company is ln- terested.
 It was NIT Fox's first visit to Alas ka and he expressed himself as be- ing very favorably impressed with the country. He said: CT am quite certain that if the people in the states who have money to invest and others who are looking for a desirabl place in which to locate could only  realize the actual conditions of this wonderful country with it's wealth of. gold, silver, copper, iron and coal de- posits there would be an exodus of people to Alaska and development co its many resources such as has taken place in the state of Washing ton in the last ten years.
 Since coming here my opinion of Alaska has been greatly changed. Ex- pectlng to find a land of ice-bergs an glaciers, l have found your climate very salubrious and by no means as severe as 1t is in many of our north ern states. presume that in the course of time truck gardening will b enc of your profitable industries on. the seaboard.
