Scores of records torn asunder
Strewed his path from shore to shore
From Chicago to the ocean,
From Atlantic to the sea,
He could walk without emotion
And his step was light and free.
II he were bold pinch hitter
Called upon to make clout,
And the hurler heaved splitter
And the splitter struck him out,
He would walk with dropping shoulders
And his teeth would madly Ilench
And his feet would feel like boulders

A tiny frog was caught and put into tube with which they were attempting to wash out her stomach When the frog was thrown out of the tube the girl ex pressed relief and said she hoped they were satisfied her complaints had a real foundation. In short time she was restored to health. This is only one of the instances in which the mind has affected the physical condition.

A Lonesome Donkey.

One summer Mir. Oakcs. an eminent lawyer, sent his wife and young daugh- ter to q farmhouse in the White noun tains for vacation. Shortly after he received an urgent request from the little girl to send her pet donkey to use while there. She had read about donkeys and heard about them, but was not at all familiar with their pc culiar vocalism.
 The donkey arrived. and the child had many rides around the vicinity. She enjoyed 1t all hugely. except the animals strange noises, which inspired her with the profoundest pity for his evident distress.
 One day after vainly trying to sub- due his vocalism she wrote letter to her father, in which she said:
 Dear Father-I do wish you would come up here soon, my donkey is so very lonesome" e."-National Monthly.

COBB IS WORKING
 FOR |. [. BUNNELL

Some of the friends of Judge Wick. ersham are attempting to make cap ital out of the fact that J. H. Cobb sat upon the stage last Monday night when the delegate addressed the peo- pie of Juneau. The claim has been made MT. Cobb is openly supporting Judge Wickershams candidacy. A re- porter of the Juneau Empire asked as to the facts, and MT. Cobb said:
 "I sat upon the stage by invitation, which l took as personal courtesy to me, and I was glad to show the delegate every possible courtesy in his visit to Juneau. In fact, Judge Wickersham is a personal friend of mine, whose esteem l appreciate and value. But personal friendship and social amenity is one thing, and poli- tics Is another. I never scratched Democratic ticket in my life, and nev- CT will. So far from supporting Judge Wickersham, if the plans made at the Skagway convention had been car tried out I would now be stumping the interior of Alaska for MT. Bun nell.
 "No, I have helped frame every platform of the party since l have been in Alaska, including the plat form upon which MT. Bunnell is now running. l helped to organize the Juneau Democratic Club, and con- tributed to it's expenses, hoping to get the rank and file of the party together, and let them shape it's poli- cies, so that the party would com mand the support of the people at the polls; and I advocated the nomi- nation not only of candidate for congress, but straight Democratic legislative ticket on straight Demo cratic platform, all of which was done.
 q did this, because l believe the future of this territory, it's ultimate progress toward better laws, better administered, and it's economical de- | velopment, so far as government can contribute, lies in the principles of Democracy.
 q wear no mans collar, but will support the Democratic party, and vote for it's nominees, both for con- gress and for the legislature. because I believe that in it's principles is to be found the political truth which makes us free.'"

This South American Brand Is Worse

 If you should ever happen to be wan dering about the Choco section of Co., lombia 1t would be we'll to have an eye out for the sobbing monkey. If this animal gets on your trail you might as well ring down the curtain and put period after yourself.
 When 1t gets after the Colombian In- dians, according to H. G. Spurrell. nat uralist and member of the London School of Tropical Medicine, the Indian listens to the beasts soul whitening sobs for three days and three nights and then commits suicide.
 MT. Spurrell says that the sobbing monkey is pink and is one of the most rare animals in South America. For reasons that have never been made clear the sobbing monkey will at cer- tain times in the year leave its home in the most impenetrable wilderness and go to the nearest Indian encamp- ment, where it will select it's victim and follow him day and night. keeping up a continual weeping and wailing.
 According to tribal traditions this is a sure sign that the victim will shortly be taken with the sleeping sickness or some other fatal disease. It has been customary for the natives to listen to the monkeys sobbing for three days and three nights and then commit sui eide, thus avoiding death by the dread ed sickness.-New York Mail.

Maine naval
MILITIA WILL BE
TAKEN THROUGH
PANAMA CANAL

! Portland. Me- Oct 23.-Members of
/ the three divisions comprising the
Maine Naval Militia under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Commander Reuben
X. Dyer, will be taken with other
Naval Militia organizations with the
fleet on the trip through the Panama
Canal to the San Francisco EXPOSE
ton. The naval militiamen will not
go as passengers or observers, but as
part of the crew of the fleet. The
sightseeing features of the trip will
only be incidental, the militiamen re-
quired to take their regular stations
for duty.
In all probability the same scheme
of organization will be followed in
handling the militia as that of the
last grand maneuver of the fleet at
New York in 1912. The militiamen
were used to fill out the crews of the
Atlantic reserve fleet. Officers of the
militia were worked in pairs with the
navy officers and men of the fleet. AS
soon as militiaman demonstrated
his ability to take care of the station
was assigned to a regular tour of
duty. In 1912 there were no funds
available for the movement of the Ma
val Militia, and it's members were
compelled to pay large part of their
own expenses. To tighten these they
were enlisted temporarily in the navy.
Under the existing law there will be
an allotment to the Naval Militia like
that for the National Guard, and this,
with contingent amount approprf-
ated for the entertainment of visiting
fleets, will give the Navy Depart
ment sufficient funds to take care of
the naval militiamen on the trip.
Owing to the war it is not expected
that any foreign ships will participate
in the formal opening of the Panama
Canal. The plan is to divert all OF
the money, or at least a part of it, in
paying the expenses of the militia.
That matter has been taken UP at
this early date so that the officers of
the naval militia may have an oppor-
tunity to recruit their organizations
up to their authorized strength. There
are at present 730 officers and men in
the Naval Militia, and it is thought
tnal Will prospect OF Sucn a cruise
it's strength can be doubled. OF course,
no one will be taken with the militia
except their regularly commissioned
officers and enlisted men. Further than
this, men enlisted just before taking
the trip will not be permitted to go
with their organization. Only officers
and men who have received at least
preliminary training will he accepted.
1t will require three or four weeks
to make the trip and the militia will
have real sea service. They may have
an opportunity to participate in bat
tie targent practice with the regular
personnel. An extensive program of
maneuvers is being prepared for the
trip and quite formidable naval dem
onstration will take place at San
Francisco. The plans for the trip have
not yet been outlined but are being
discussed by the officials in Washing
ton. All other exercises for that year
will be dispensed with as the trip will
be more valuable experience than
any summer maneuvers that can be
arranged.

"Our commanders so far have been oc-

voy duty. but this work has somewhat
lessened and the number of searching
cruisers is being continually augmented.
Meanwhile, merchant ships must observe
the admiralty instructions.

In these circumstances, there is no
occasion for anxiety and no excuse for
complaint. On the contrary, the more
fully the facts concerning our over

Royal navy can be disclosed and the
more attentively they are studied, the
greater will be the confidence and
satisfaction with which the situation
