"Some in rags,
Some in jags,
And some in velvet gowns"

Uncle Sam is especially rich in
Alaska dolls.
Some of them are of ivory, no big
ger than your thumb; but the cloth
ing is made with the greatest care
from the softest sealskin, trimmed
with beads and edged with white hair
from the leg of the deer Others are
two or three feet in height, and are
carved from wood, and equally well
dressed. even in their mittens, skin
caps with ear-faps, and their perfect
ly correct snow-shoes. Then there
are dolls of the Zulu and the Moqui
Indians of Arizona and New Mexico
These are a brilliant and cheerful
gathering, and occupy drawer all to
themselves. Some are made of wood
and others of baked clay. and all are
painted in gaudy colors. Some among
them have real hair, done up in funny
little knots above their ears, or in
braids with feathers and red flannel,
while one of them represents a fire
dancer. His body is painted black and
is spangled all over with glistening
tinsel, which makes him appear as if
he were covered with sparls.-Will

He was nothing but puppy as yet,

to drive their own cars. There was
an immense crowd on the banks of

as many as fifty thousand persons
there.
Men were stationed about every
hundred feet with megaphones. and
whenever a car was coming they
would cry, Clear the road: here

above would repeat the cry, and the
next, until the road was cleared. The
distance UP the mountain is mile,
and some of the cars would go UP
so fast that they just looked like
streaks of white or red or the color
of the car

as his car started, like a flash, across

PASSION FOR GIN DRINKING
Historian Lacky Says Liquor Never
Ceased to Be C~ounteracting In
fiUence on Morals.

In his England in the 18th Gen.
tury." Lacky. the historian, says that
about 1874 the passion for gin drink
ing affected the masses and it spread
with the rapidity and violence OF an
epidemic. Small as is the place which
this fact occupies in English history,
1t was probably. If we consider all
the consequences which have flowed
from 1t, the most ~momentous in the
eighteenth century - incomparably
more so than any event In the purely
political or military annals of the
country. The fatal passion for drink
was at once and ir~revocably planted
in the nation. Physicians declared
that in excessive gin drinking a new
and terrible source of mortality had
been opened for the poor. Retailers
Of gin hung out signs that their u S
toners could be made drunk for a pen
ny and dead drunk for two pence, and
that straw was provided free" The
latter referred to the custom of hav-
ing straw i'm the cellars on which
those who had grown too drunk to get
home could sleep off thei~ potations.
He goes on to say that, from the
early years of the 18th century gin
drinking has never ceased to be the
main counteracting influence to the
moral, intellectual and physical bene-
fits that might be expected from in
crease commercial prosperity"

THEY ARE SOBER ENGINEERS
Stringent Rules Against Drunkenness
Enforced by Brotherhood-Ono
Notable Example.

Vt is safe to say that no other union.
club or organization of any sort APP
plies quite such heroic treatment to
undesirable citizens as the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. One
thing that the brotherhood most
strenuously insists upon is that its
members shall not drink. Thirty-ive
members were expelled for getting
drunk in 1909, and their shame was
publicly proclaimed IN the Journal.
The treatment does not stop here by
any means. The brotherhood will not
risk the lives of its members and the
general public by permitting a drink
ing nan to run an engine. writes
Charles Frederick Carter in Century
When a man has been duly convicted
of drinking and punished according to
the laws of the order, the facts are
laid before the proper authorities on
the road that employs him, and his
discharge is demanded. In one. no.
table instance the engineer of a fast
train got drunk during his ~layover and
disgraced himself. He was tried, con-
vfcted n expelled, the management
was informed, and the offenders dis
charge requested in regular form. But
as the engineer had been a good man,
the railroad company demurred, say
ing that he had not been drunk while
on duty.
But" said the brotherhood, there
Is no telling when a man who gets
drunk off duty may take a notion to
get drunk on duty, and we do not in
tend to take any chances on having a
drunken man tearing through the
country at sixty miles an hour, endan-
gering the lives of others. It is I'M
fair both to the Employees in your serv-
ice and to your patrons"

lMEBRIATE Is DEAD WEIGHT
Progress Is Pushing Drunkard to One
Side With Relentless Force-OId

If conditions GO, 70 or so years agt
were considered. the decrease shown
in inebriety would be most striking,
one drunkard being found in a thou
sand where formerly there were prob
ably 20 or so. In the early DAYS of
the republic, whisky was an article of
wide consumption, made SO because
it was the only alcoholic stimulant cas-
lily obtainable at a distance from the
sea coast, and because large quaint
ties of grain could be p~rofitably con
verified into liquor in the interior com
munities.
Economic causes have operated pow

ty or 60 years ago there were thou
sands of communities in which profess
sional men could drink TO excess with
out suffering in public opinion. Now
such offenders would quickly lose their
standing, and not only professional
men, but workers in all the trades
especially those in which machinery
is employed. are Obliged to keep sober
in order TO hold their places. The in.
ebriate is a dead weight in modern
society, says New York Tribune. The
older order was more than kind to
bin, but the newer is relentless. The
younger generation has views
on that point. and the proportion of
young men handicapping themselves
with drinking habits is becoming small
er every year. Young men nowadays
are too intent on other things to be
greatly attracted b.. the cheap lure of
dissipation.
All progress in the past half en-
tury has helped the cause of modera.

to both to end the sale of liquors and
to regulate it. But economic and ed

legislation to put a rigorous ban on
