Seward Trail Work
 Progressing We'll

Work on the Seward-lditarod trail is progressing finely under the direc- tion of Supt. Goodwin of the road commission. There are three different parties in the lield-under FOremen Warehouse, Kinney and Giddngs.
 All indications point to really first class winter trail with no difficult grades, and it is stated that the trip from here to Seward will be easily ac- complished in 15 days.
 Seward commercial interests are agi- tating for a mail service to the inte- rior. They favor the introduction of a semi-monthly service ct least, with a time limit of l5 days.
 The cooperation of public bodies of this camp is earnestly sought by the Seward Commercial Club, and if Idit- arod wants mail service over the new trail, with all it's attendant convent ences of rOadhouSes and camps at regu- lar intervals, now is the time to act.

SPARE THE FLIES

Oh, swatter; hold your hand, l beg, do not slay that humble fly that tickles us with festive leg-why should the lovely creature die? The Force that gave you life and breath designed that fly, so blythe and gay; who gave you power of life and death? Who said that you might freely slay? Because some scientist insists that flies bear germs from place to place. you take a bludgeon in your fist and would exterminate the race. The germs and flies have equal rights with men enjoyment to pursue, and so have skeeters, which, of nights, oft charm us with their loud bazoo. 1 hold that any living thing has title deeds as good as ours, to loaf around this world and sing, and sip the honey from the flowers. And when 1 see some husky guy take lethal arms and tiercely bounce upon some unsus- pecting fly that does not weigh half an ounce, I feel that I'd set up cigars, or buy the lime juice by the tub, if some big monster came from Mars, and soaked him with l2-foot club. When next you go to swat a fly, imagine that the monster came some freak a thousand cubits high, and held a club above your frame.-Walt Mason.

A girl had gone to dinner in New York with her steady. The young man noticed a speck of what appeared to be lint on her shoulder. When she wasn t looking he attempted to knock it off with his finger. After several futile attempts he took hold of the line and started to pull it off. He unraveled several yards of the fleecy stuff and when he seemed to have it all off threw the wad under the table. That night the girl told her mother that she had had a perfectly lovely time. But, " she added, q have just been lying here in bed, mother, and wondering what became of my union suit. ."-Kansas City Star.
