 ''No, thank you"
 ''You'lf forgive an old woman, sur, and I knaw I'm very bould in spaik- in to 'ee, and I'm fast baitin' on for sixty, but you do'ant look 'appy, sur.

 'No, great God, no." and Leicester seized his hat as though he were an- gry.

 ''Yes, pray for me, need it," he said. Thank you very much for the tea, and, by the way, I want you to give something for me to your chapel"
 He gave her a sovereign, and walk ed away. A few minutes later he was out on the moors again.

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. "-MRs. CHAS. BARCLAY, RED, Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 90 years 1t has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, Liberation, local weak nesses. fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is uneoualled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs Barclay ysays,ft is worth noun &aiAa of anld " to suffering women.

OLD JEFF
 COMPLAINS

Jim JefHries comes out with a statement now and says he believes that he had been tempered with, probably doped, and that his bad showing against Johnson on July 4 was caused by his mind being mud dled and his physical condition not up to its usual standard. Jeff is quoted in a long article which he gave out after his return from a fishing trip at Catalina island.
 Poor old Jeff has been long time coming out with statement, and he would have made a popular move if he had not said anything. The old gag of being doped has been brought into play so often that il has worked itself into stale ness, and now tue fans give any fighter who makes this cIy the Cha ha. <" That is what Jeff is getting and there is but little stock taken i'll his story.

OTTER BUSINESS MEN
 GET THE RIGHT HUNCH

Sunday night a meeting was had among the residents of Discovery Otter for the purpose of raising funds to build winter trail from Otter to the Kus- kokwim, and to prepare in measure for the big traffic that will be necessary between the two points in order to feed the many that are there.
 The idea met with a hearty response, since it offers every inducement in a business way to the merchants of this section. There being no grub at Georgetown, it becomes necessary to take it all from here and double-ender trail is said to be entirely practical, with a possibility that grub can be taken over as low as five cents.
 The proposed route, ds far as de- termined upon, and subject to change without notice will follow up Otter and up Little. It will then follow down Nugget, crossing Bonanza.
 Going down the Kuskokwim side the trail will probably pass down Michigan creek and down George river.
 A committee was appointed at the meeting to look into the matter of rais- ing funds for the work and these men are now on the job taking the mazuma. Work will begin almost immediately and the going should be good by the time snow flies in earnest.

beaten but that he had all argument for return match, but it is not so with Jeff. The big fellow is judged by the fans as a man who has passed his days of usefulness in the ring, and what he might have done 10 Johnson five years ago is mat ter for the past.
 There is little Chance that Jeff and Johnson will ever clash again. In fact, the big fellow says that he is through, and everybody thinks that he is wise by saying so. But as matter of argument, if the men were ever rematched it's a dollar to doughnut that the colored fighter would be 5 10 I choice. And it is also doubtful if the fight would draw corporal's guard, as any man who had the sympathies of the white fighter at heart would not go to see him get a gruelling as he did last July. If two thirds of that crowd ever had all idea of the out come before the last fight they would never have gathered i'll that arena
 Jeff said ill his quoted statement that he could not remember a single incident that happened when he went down the aisle of the ring into the arena. He said that he was a bit nervous when he entered the ring for former fights, but was never scared. He said that he was not nervous on July 4 last, nor was he scered.
 Again he declared his brain would not work OH that day, and that if he had known his condition would nave had the pets declared off.
 Another statement which is pur- ported to have come from Jeff is that he entered tue ring with lis legs straddled tar apart, and that when he was given great ovation he did not respond in becoming manner.
 He says he cannot understand now how he would have overlooked that applause if he had been right We'll. Jeff acted just as he had al ways acted. When it come to i being civil, that was out of Jeff s l makeup.

FLAT CREEK NOTES

There were high inks at the dance given at the Grand hotel at Flat city last Saturday night, when Mrs. Selma Swanson rendered the second ball of the season at that hostelry. A large concourse of people had assembled who came just for the purpose of having a good time and they did so, continuing the festivities until late in the morning. Although everyone at Flat is extremely busy in the daylight hours, preparing for the coming of winter, they are never too tired to swing 'em on the corners when the chance affords.
 In the absence of Jack Connolly, who went to Fairbanks to secure a license for saloon at Flat City, Mrs. Con nolly has started construction opera tions on the new building that will house the joy emporium when it finally arrives. According to the latest dope it appears that this license will surely be granted but it's issuance will be de- layed until word can reach there from this city.
 Drs. Carter and Spaulding, who re- gently consolidated the two branches of the Pioneer drug store at Flat city, have just completed a second-story ad- dition on their store building This will be occupied as living quarters.
 Bill Casey's new place, next to Frank Stanley's roadhouse is already and waiting with open arms for the re- ception of the proprietor who is some where between here and Fairbanks bucking the ice of the Panama, the Yu- kon or the Iditarod. With the installa- tion of the machinery, the shining up of bottles and the storing of the red ! stuff that cheers, Casey's place is ready to become the first saloon of Flat City.
 The Globe Bakery, the property of Carroll x Thorns is now safely stored in winter quarters where ham and" can be expected to smoke with proper savor the rest of the winter, Both Chas. Carroll and Al Thirns are busy putting up cabins for their winter habitations.
 I. Jaffe, the clothing merchant of Flat City, has just moved into his fine, new store building. They do say that Jaffe has one of the finest gents fur nishing stocks in the whole country.
 Fred Carter, who is now engaged in freighting between this city and the creeks, has fixed up very comfortable quarters at Flat for the winter. He contemplates an early trip to the other side of the divide.

COLD WEATHER PUTS
 BREAKS ON 4 TRIPLE

Owing to the difficulties attending cold weather, work on the creeks is be- ing slightly hampered with the result that cleanups suffer slightly in the final total.
 Doc Mading arrived in the city Tues day with a poke of $I3, 800, representing a nine-day run on the Wildcat associa- tion where he is still working a con- siderable crew, and where he has hopes of continuing at least until the first of the month.
 George Riley was also in the first of the week with cleanup that is re- ported at something less than 1000 ounces.
 With the exception of Lynn and Nell son and Bates brothers on IA Otter, these are about the only outfits that are now sluicing and they will soon be hushed by the all-embracing touch of winter.
