Her escort offered to go after the

an hour before the dogs found the
trail, and a few minutes later she
came upon the cat. One shot from
her rifle killed the animal, and Sing

MARVEL OF ALASKA

Alaska Is a far distant country, a
very rainy country, depressed by the
long sub-Arctic nights; but there is
somehow fascination about it which
draws back the man or woman who
has once experienced it. And the life
in Alaska is anything but frigid
Though so far from the cities, though
for hundred miles at time you
see not a house along the shore, the
few towns are very unlike the raw
frontier of the plains. Sirka is a gem,
with Its handsome Greek church, its
old Russian headquarters, it's pic
turesque shores, its Indian basket sell
ers. In Juneau is as agreeable social
life as you will find anywhere, with
most excellent state dinners. That is
the marvel of Alaska-the contrast
between the vast loneliness and the
truly modern life Of the scattered set
Elements. The first white child born
in Alaska is hardly a woman yet, but
it is already a community with a
strong sense of it's own future.-From
Practical Alaska" by Albert Bush

did draw the line at ghost that
pirouetted the fo'castle deck with a
couple of black cats poised on his
shoulders. And SO the mate quit and
the captain became sore, and the
Annie Smith did not sail.
1t was five years ago, when the
Annie Smith was bound for the east
coast of Africa, that Steve jackson
gave up the ghost.
The night they committed Steye's
body to the deep, with only dead
weight of iron to keep bin company,
the seaman's ghost appeared to the
mate.
Moore was at the wheel, cycling the
fluttering Of the topgallant sail, as
The wind showed signs OF shifting,
When he heard Steve's voice say:
Good evening, mate" He looked in
the direction whence the voice came
and there, sitting on the starboard
rail, was Steve's ghost, dressed just
as Steve was dressed when he signed
on the grim ship Death. The mate
Answered him, but though the ghost
remained there, he did not utter an
other word until after an hour, when
he said, "All's well,' and disappeared.
Moore soon became used to Steve's
ghost, which appeared morning and
night, and greeted him, and which
said, "Alis WELL" whenever a storm
arose.
But after three and half years the
ghostly visitor became too much for
Moore, and he left the Annie Smith
A year ago, however, he shipped
again in the barkentine, and there was
a great little reunion on the first day
that the mate took the wheel.
Morning, mate" said the ghost.
Hello, Steve" quoth Moore as was
his wont.
well, Use here and youse bin away
a pow'ful long time" grinned the
ghost.
"Glad to see you again, Steve
went on Moore. "And say, Steve, just

Sure enough, Steve's ghost ho1sted
| the jib, and coming back, touched his
hat, cried "A!l's WE'LL and vanished
But the other day the ghost got on
Moore's nerves, for il there is one

HOW TO GET RED HAIR

It has been found that the way to
obtain auburn hair is to get a job In
soda ash manufactory. A new soda
ash plant started abroad employs
many men in the processes of chang
ing the salt as it comesSfrom the huge
veins which underlies the locality.
When these men wentsto work they
wore hair that ranged from the light
blonde Of natives Of northern Europe
to the dark and shiny locks that grow
upon the heads Of other races. Grad
ually it was noted that the hair of the
blonde men was assuming a golden
tinge, and ais time work on the golden
hue deepened until now the hair
ranges through all the shades of red
from a golden auburn to fiery red.
The change from the brown hair of
some of the men to the reddish tinge
appeared to be slower, while the black
hair resisted longest, but now virtual
ly every man who has worked in the
plant more than a year can truly say
that his hair In red. Mustaches and
boards have been affected the same
way.

The latest Alpine winter sport Raay
be called bicycle tobogganing." and
though it has only been introduced a
short time it is likely to become very
popular. The stbicycle-toboggan comes
from and has so far been seen only
in Grindelwald, where it's inventor, a
local peasant, lives turning out his in
vention as fast as he is able. The &C
companying picture shows that the
new machine is much like an ordinary
bicycle except for its having neither
wheels nor pedals There are handles
by which to steer and foot-rests for
the feet, which must be put on the
ground whenever braIing is necessary.
Although at first it is difficult to steer
straight, bicy cle-tobGgganing is very
easy to learn.

Mates Won't Sail on the Annie
Smith With Steve Jackson's
Wrath Roaming Decks.
SAILOR WAS MURDERED
And Worse Still, Two Black Cats
perched on the Spirits Form, So
the Commander of the Barken-
tine Was Unable to Put
TO Sea.

New York.-It was not exactly the
fault of Capt. Frederick Foote that
the Annie Smith, as trim a little bark
entine as you can see IN any port, did
not sail the other day for Brazilian
ports. Nor was it the fault of Edwin
Moore, the mate negro that OF Steve
Jackson, a negro seaman, lately de-
ceased. The blame really belonged to
the ghost Of the said Steve Jackson.
The Annie Smith, with her general
cargo slowed away, her clearance pa
pers signed, her sails ready to be set,
was unable to cast off, because Cap
tain Foote could find no mate to sail
In her.
And if you speak to Captain Foote
and your conscience and your consti-
tuition can weather oaths that will
make your hair stand on end, you
will learn that when Steve Jackson
slipped his cable with knife stuck
..oa between his ribs, he carelessly al
lowed his ghost to roam at random
on the Annie Smith
That was both unprofessional and
unethical on the part of Jackson, and
you can hardly blame Captain Foote
for using plain and forceful, if IN
pleasant language.
Captain Foote. you see, joined the
Annie Smith only few days ago. In
those few days Steve Jackson's ghost
has been working overtime, and with
such success that Moore, the mate
quit cold. Moore DID not mind a ghost
