\ MODEST OFFICE SEEKER
 FROM NEW YORK CITN

Washington, Dec. 22--Of all the strange letters that reach the gov ernmeut daily, none is stranger than the affidavit of a New York man as to his qualifications for office under the Wilson administra- ton. This letter has just come to the attention of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
 The gentleman, calmly and con- fidentIy let Secretary McAdoo into the dark secret that the United States government is losing money in losing the services of a thor oughly competent man every day that it negIects to put him on its payroll He spared nothing in his modest appraisal of his own vlr'ues In fact. he was just the man for almost any job that tho Secretary might have at his disposal
 And lest someone should think that his fulsome praise came from an exaggerated or untruthfuI source, Mr. New Yorker calmly put it all down in black and white, swore to it in the presence of witnesses, and had a notary public examine it, and then put on his big official seal.

Supt. II. Wheeler of the Yukon mail service between Whitehorse and Dawson received letters from Chlsana the day before he left to come over to Skagway which fully corrooorate the stories brought out by mushers of the utterly impossible condition of the trail between Me Cartty and the diggings. The letter came out on the last mail from the Chisaua camp by the way of White river to Dawson and thence to WhitghOrse.

 He got as far as Mccarthy all right but says in his letter that he is held up there and unable to get any further on account of the trail being impossible.
 MT. Wheeler had charge of the outfits taken in six or seven years ago by the United States and Can adian boundary survey parties, the freight contract for which amounted to about $45,OOO from Whitehorse.

the trouble should be promptly rem

self or herself open 10 serious and
often fatal diseases. That feeling OF
congestion. lassitude or dull head
ache is the first warning OF trouble.
Don't try TO remedy IL By the ex-
cessive eating OF fruit which usually
has laxative effect but lacks action
IN extreme cases. What is needed is
a reliable but mild laxative-tonic like

According TO Milton Edwards. 1876
Bronson St, and Elmer Cotterel of
River av. who rushed TO the river
when calls were made for help. the
boys waded out too far. Edwards says
the river at that point can almost be
waded. He believes that because the
boys could not swim, a strong under
current on the south side Of the
stream bore them under. When the
two men arrived they found Mr.
Gross. the father of one Of the boys,
frantically rushing up and down in
the water crying for help.
Edwards and Cotterel dove into the
water and after considerable search
found the Jagla boy. They assisted
the police all the forenoon in the
search being in the water from 10
o'clock until after noon but could not
locate the other lad.
When the Jagla boy was brought
up the father Of the Gross boy became
almost crazed and rushed about pick
ingup the drowned lad and caressing
him and talking TO him.
Edwards and COtterel are both good
swimmers and say the river at this
point is not very dangerous for any
who can swim. IL has a sandy bottom
and is not over five feet deep all the
