remarked to Dr. Skate: I'm increasing in my weight, and it's giving me the blues. for cannot tie my shoes, 50 I want a pint of pills, or syrup made of squills, or some other kind of dope; you can pull me down, I hope?" All the time at heart know that I really ought to go to the woodpilee with an ax, and get down to old brass tacks. Oh, I ought to do my chores and get busy out of doors, beating carpets good and hard, cleaning up the it. tered yard, with mind and heart at peace, thus dispose of my grease. But, instead, I trot a block, and consult the four-eyef doc, and he shakes his head and sighs, and he looks confounded wise, and gives me pellets labeled "Nux" and assesses me three bucks. And some forty million jays are as foolish, all their days. Ills and aches would travel hence if we'd use a little sense. If you have an aching tooth, have 1t pulled at once, good youth. But of course that simple plan won't appeal to any man; you will nurse your throbbing jaw and denounce the moral law, blow yourself for patent cures uHd the Chloroform that lures; then, with agony accursed, do what should be done at first. Most of us are dotards dense; few of us have any sense.-WALT MASON.

MERCHANTS WILL

The merchants of Valdez, accord ing to the following extract from tn Daily Prospector of that place, ap- pear to be enterprising and go- ahead kind of business men, keen sighted and willing to lay out few dollars to advance their own in terests and the interests of the town in which they live. And not only that, they work together for the common good and don't hang back and wait to see how much thei neighburs are gcing to give before making their own contributions.
 It cid not take the valdez men long to see the necessity of im- mediate action if they expected to reap any benefits from the big rush to the new gold fields of the inter for, which there can now be no reas enable doubt. will commence early next year; and recognizing the ne cessity they have joined hands and are working with might and main to bring the tide of travel their way.
 While We believe the natural route to the Chisana is through skagwly aud Whitehorse, we can but admire the spirit of enterprise that animates our western ueighbor:
 The merchants of Valdez have decided to keep the winter road op- en from Valdez to Willow creek and they will call for bids from the freighters in d few days providing for having the road marked from Valdez across the summit and kept open from the coast to Willow creek
 Already a large number of pros pectors and miners are preparing to go from Valdez to the Nelchina and Chisana and they prefer to leave over the government road because of the great saving in time and money.
 The roadhouse keepers also in tend to cooperate with the Valdez men and will help to keep the road open, while the govern ment will use the Valdez route, talk ing supplies to the different tele- graph stations along the line.
 For the first time in several years every roadhOuse from Valdez to Willow creeek will be kept open. The Ernestine roadhouse being the last to open, when Harry Miller sent supplies and equipment over the read last week"

HORRIBLE, IF TRUE.

A woman refugee from the town of Durango, Mexico, while awaiting in San Diego, Cal, for transporta- tion to her home, related the fol- lowing story, which if true, may well demonstrate that the advice of Pres ident Wilson to Americans in Mex ico to return home for safety, was not idle fear and should have been needed. This woman said that "one Of the worst cutrages inflicted on young American and his wife was discussed on board the transport Bu- ford on the way to San Diego. The rebels of Gen. Carranza seized the couple In their home at Durango Roped the husband fast and tied his wife to her bed, where thy finally killed her.
 Twenty seven Americans were lined up against a building in Du- rango to be shot by the Carranzis- tas, but just as the first was to be shot, a Mexican maiden rushed in front of him and pleaded with her countrymen not to shoot. Other Mexican girls also ran up, and through their efforts with the Mexi- can rebels saved the Americans for the time at least.
 While there has been some re- straint of murder and robbery of Americans, there has been none for the rich MeXicans.

MONUMENT TO BE RAISED
 TO GOLD DIsCOVERER

St. Petersburg,-It is just 100 years ago that @ girl of If, Katia Bogdanoff, while playing on the banks of the River Molkowka, a tributary of the Kama, found a gilt tering stone, which afterwards was found to be a solid gold nugget. Ka- tai, whose chance led to the dis covery of extensive gold deposits in the Ural mountains, had her nugget roughly snatched away from her, and received as a reward twenty five strokes of the birch, admins tered by order of foreman of the then existing Demidoff iron works
 This man, iu his ignorance, fear ed that the Russian government, to whom belongs by law all precious metal found in the soil, would on hearing of the find put him out of employment and permit only gold mining in the region. The news or the nugget could, however, not be entirely suppressed in this way, al- though the first gold washing oper- ations in the Urals were not under taken until ten years later.
 Today the Ural gold mines pro duce more thau 1000 cwt. of gold every year. The mine owners have now decided, by way of tardy rec ognition, to erect a statue of little Katia on the spot where she found the first nugget.

CARTER ARTICLE
PROVES DEEPLY
INTERESTING

In monthly magazine issued by

ISOLATION, former Governor George r.
Carter contributes>an interesting ar
ticle on the trust companies of Ha-
wall Being familiar with the con-
ditions of such bodies here. and be-
ing the founder and for some time
the vice-president of the Hawaiian
Trust Company, what Mr.. Carter has
written is being read with keen inter-
est by 10th bankers and laymen.
After discussing the laws of the
territory governing the operations of
trust companies here, and pointing
out that their rapid growth has
brought the total capital and surplus
of the trust companies from $s6s.375.-
OS In 1909 to $l,042, 93S.75 at the pres
ent date, Mr.. Carter reviews the
present stability and conditions of
companies as follows:
'The brief outline OF the past shows
why our trust companies are prac-
tfcally confined to the handling of
property, dealing only In funds or
money that are incident thereto The
laws of some states provide that trust
companies, doing banking business,
must operate two distinct depart
ments, and they prohibit the mingling
CT their funds, for they recognize that
there is always I'm such cases the

in their statements little or no

should, as rule, be invested and.

condition Of affairs makes our trust
companies good customers OF the

that the only one of them has any

cident is probably temporary mat
ter and it involves only q small
amount. Usually, the companies
have no bills payable, no over-drafts
and cash on hand to more than cover
their open accounts. Our local court
officials testify to.lthe marked differ
ence in the regularity and prompt
ness with which the accounts of the,
trust companies are filed in compari-
son with those due from individuals.

LONDON WILL Use
MILLIONS Of
KUKUI nuts

Taking up the suggestion of DIR. E.
" Wilcox, Of the Hawaiian Agricui-
tural Experiment Station, which APP
peared in the Star-Bulletin, that the
Kukui nuts be put to a commercial
use, S. G. Starrett has made arraige-
ments wien large London concern
to supply it with from two to three
thousand tons Of the nuts annually.
Beginning with the end of the
month Starrett will commence active
work in arranging for the nuts to be
collected and shipped to London. The
firm there will extract the oil from
them to be used in paint, it having
been found to be the best oil for that
purpose on the market. These nuts,
which are to be found on all the ISL
Ends, win be gathered mainly from
Hawaii, as they are said to be of the
greatest abundance there.
During the summer months Star
iett viii get the school boys to gather
TO London sacked and ready for the
them. The nuts will probably be sent
mill press. The company has agreed
to take all that he can send, and ask
that it be at least two thousand tons
u year. In letter received by Star
rett from the company it is said that
they are very eager to follow up the
kukui nut industry to the fullest
Dr. Wilcox some time ago publish
ed bulletin on the kukui nuts, show
ing its value and the possibility of
making the gathering and the extrac-
ton of all from the nuts a profitable
enterprise. He said it was regarded
by paint concerns as far superior to
linseed OIL
At the present time Starrett will
not attempt to build a factory for the
production of the oil from the kukuis,
hut will content himself in gathering
end shipping them 20 London.
