Why He Was Favored,

The Archbishop of York is credited with this story. He said he would not say anything against Yorkshiremen but they possessed one characteristic which might be considered as virtue or as a defect, according to the view they took of it. One Yorkshire native who had become wellto-do, was asked by some one for a subscription. He de. murred, and was pressed with the ob servation

PATIENT WENT TO THE BACK
Cook Had Her Orders, and Disobedi- ence Evidently Was Not . Fall
 ing In Her Makeup.

Several of our departed handmade ems stand out in our memory, sur rounded by veritable halo of smiles and laughter in spite of their faults and shortcomings.
 One fat Swedish cook who substi- tuted for the parlor maid on the lat ter's day "out" received explicit in- structions to admit no patients com ing to see the doctor through the private entrance; they should be asked to go to the doctors en- trance, instead of being led through the family's private rooms as had ire Quently occurred in the past.
 Mathilda solemnly nodded her com prehension and proceeded to carry out instructions in the following mas terly fashion:
 A gentleman hurried up to the fam ily's door, and Mathilda ponderously advanced to answer his ring.
 Gentleman-ls the doctor in?
 Mathilda-Blease go round te od- der door.
 Gentleman-Never mind that; is

 Matildy (firmly)-Blease go round te odder door.
 Gentleman Every mad, loudly and distinctly -Is-thedoctor-at-hom Mathilda (sadly)-Blease go round te odder door.
 The gentleman, snorting his disgust, stamped down the steps. went around to the physicians entrance and rang hopefully.
 Mathilda looking at him as if she had never seen him before, soon opened the door crack
 Gentleman-Wen? Is the doctor in?
 Mathilda-No, he iss oud!-Ex- change.

A New Greed.

Boys and Girls clubs in a
number of states have adopted
the following creed as express
ing their sentiments and pur-
poses:
81 believe that the country
which God made is more beauti-
full that the city which man
made; that life out of doors
and in touch with the earth is
the natural life of man. l be-
'lieve that work is work Wher-
ever I find it, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than
work with the most intricate
machinery. | believe that the
dignity of labor depends not
only upon what you do, but on
how you do it; that opportun-
| ity comes to a boy on the farm
as often as to a boy in the city;
that life on the farm is larger
and freer and happier than it is
! in the town; that my success
depends not upon my location,
but upon myself-not only upon
my dreams, but upon what l ac-
tually do; not upon luck, but
upon pluck. | believe in working
when you work and playing
when you play, and in giving
land demanding a square deal in
every act of life"

Swat The Ancestors.

St. Louis Republic: To make
St. Louis a fyless city it is nee
essary that we quit breeding
flies. And in order to do this
but two things are needful-to
destroy the breeding places and
to kill off the reserve stock"
which has come through from
last year.
The thing that makes the fly
the universal pest that he is, is
the rapidity with which the fly
harvest increases on the soil
one fly lays $50 eggs a day. 1t
takes but a few days for the $50
eggs to pass through the larva
and pupa states and come out a s
adult flies, all the females of
which are ready to go to work
laying each $50 eggs a day.
Statistics are bore, but the
weather is cool and the question
important. Let us see what
would result in the way of daily
increase in the crop of flies
from just one days work of just
one female fly after but two
broods had come to maturity.
AND let us suppose that of the
$50 flies produced by our one fly
one-half are females and two
thirds of these are swatted in
infancy. This would leave twen-
ty-fve fertile flies, each laying
$50 eggs daily-3,750 eggs day.
Nov let us take just one days
work of these $3.50 flies, sup
posing again, that one-half are
females and that two-thirds of
them die. This would leave 625
fer le females, each producing
$50 eggs a day-93,750 eggs.
Now. mind you, these $3.50
eggs would represen. simply the
activities of the fertile grand

Making Bacon In The South.

The Southern states at one
time, years ago, produced large
numbers of hogs and cured prac-
tically all of the bacon necessa-
ry to feed the people, At the
present time the same cannot be
said of a single Southern state
and of but few counties in any
Of these states. There is one
county in Georgia, however, that
is showing others what can be
done in raising hogs. Brooks
county holds the distinction of
producing and selling more ba-
con than any other county in
Georgia. Recently % wagon
loads of cured bacon were deliv-
cred at Quitman in one day.
This amounted to 4,500 pounds.
Last year Brooks county raised
the meat necessary for home
consumption, shipped out sew
aral carloads of hogs, and in ad-
dition sold 100000 pounds of
bacon at an average pricbe of IA
cents a pound. This year it is
estimated that Brooks county

days egg laying female fly.
In other words, if one female
flv were to lay her usual number
of eggs one day and then die and
if from the $50 eggs so produced
there were to develop twenty
FIVE female flies, each of which
should lay for one day and then
die; if from this second brood
of eggs there should result one
fertile female out OF every SIX
there would be 625 female flies
laying $3.50 eggs every day as
the result. ,
It is easy enough to understand
how "swarms of flies" so easily
appear where filth invites. A
half dozen female flies and hos
pitable garbage cans or manure
heaps are all that are necessary.
He who would swat well must
swat early. We shall be helpless
against the grandchildren OF the
early fly. Our only chance is to
swat their ancestors. - Fort

raising of live stock has not been

.SITKA WILL STAY
 DRY YET AWHILE

Sitka will remain dry for some time, according to e decision rendered by Judge R. w. Jennings this morning on the petition of Hans Anderson and Peter Babie for licenses to conduct saloons in the place. The matter came up In the nature of rehearing and challenge of the vote registered at at the time the census was taken. Counsel was employed by petitioners and evidence introduced to show that the signers against granting the H. cense were not all qualified to make le- gal objection.
 The court did not desire to listen to argument in the matter and made his decision on the evidence introduced, which was summed up in the dicision. It was admitted that there were 245 persons in Sitka qualified to pass on the question. The petitioners attacked the validity of the vote of IT persons who voted against granting the license which would leave 22S to be reckoned with many of whom were not seen. Those voting for the granting of the license numbered n. It was alleged by petitioners that nine of those who were not seen would have voted in favor of granting the license If they could have been seen. This would have brought the vote to SO. But this the court held would not have been a majority of 22S and therefore the license was denied. The contest ex- cited quite bit of interest

TROUBLES OF PRINCES.

Among the peculiar royal family complications which have come m inc present war, through the intimate relationship which exists between the rnlers of nearly all of the countries of Europe. there is scarcely anything more remarkable than the fact that two of the royal family of England one holding a title of duke in the Brit isb neerage and the other heir to a British duchy, are now in arms against england Had 1t not been for the fact that he declined to accept his inherit ance the Duke of Connaught, present Covernor.General of Canada, would to- dav he the ruler of German State, owing allegiance to the Kaiser ana compelled to support him in the pres ent war against the native land of the duke.
 As 1t was, when the throne of the dncbv of saxe-Coburg-Gotha became vacant through the death of the reign ing duke, also Duke of Edinburgh in Ithe British peerage and uncle of King George. the Duke of Connaught re- fnsed to take his inheritance and his son Prince Arthur Patrick, likewise declined it. It therefore passed to the Duke of Albany, posthumous son of the first duke, who was the youngest son oS oueen Victoria and Prince Albert of saxe.Coburg. The Duke of Albany horn. reared and educated in England is therefore in arms against 1t.
 The reigning Duke of Brunswick who accepted the title and throne on his recent marriage to the daughter oi tbe Emperor of Germany, is the son and heir of the Duke of Cumberland in the British peerage, who is also tit uIar king of Hanover. Hanover was absorbed into Prussia many years ago and the present titular king refused to accent his hereditary title as reigning Duke of Brunswick when he succeed ad to if because of the condition pre- ocribed that he should renounce his claims to the Kingdom of Hanover Ills son, on marriage with the Emperor daughter, made the renunciation ana reigns over the duchk of Brunswick one of the states of the German em nire instead of his father, who wa' entitled ts the throne. On the deatf of his father the Duke of BrunswlcH will become also Duke of Cumberland in the.British peerage, although he, a' ruler of one of the confederate states of the German empire, is now in arm' against England.-seattle Post-lntelll gencer.

BODY OF MINING
 MAN RECOVERED

The body of a man. identified as Louis Eipe, was found floating in the bay near the Juneau Iron Works about s o'clock this morning, The corpse was badly decomposed and after an examination U. s, Commissioner J. B. Marshall, decided that an inquest was not necessary and the c, w. Young company undertaking department was directed to bury the body at once. There was a carpenterP rule, pocket book containing S4.90 in silver and six pennies, bank book showing deposits with the Scandinavian American bank of Seattle, copy of The Alaska Daily Empire of August s. silver watch. gold trimmed glasses, found on the person and a gold band ring on the wedding finger.
 Deceased was about 50 years of age so far as appearances would indicate and evidently worked as a carpenter. The dead man is believed to be inden- tical with Lewis Espie, or Lewis Pol son, who has been missing for some time.
 Lewis Poison, or Lewis Espie, was last seen alive on the night of August 8, by John Bolstad. At that time he was standing' in front of the Yukon saloon. He had been drinking. He lived in cabin No. IS, of the Randle row of cabins, near the city dock.
 John Wshl. who was we'll acquaint- ed with Poison or Espie. says that he was carpenter and that he came to Juneau first in 1898. The Empire of August IS contained an account of this mans disappearance.
 Papers on the body of the dead man indicate that his name was Louis Eipe.
 Eipe, according to John Wahl, who has known him for great many years, was a native of Norway, and about 50 years of age. He had no relatives in Alaska. He first came North in 1898 and crossed Chilkoot Pass with the great stampede to Dawson of that year. In the fall of 1899 he went to Nome and remained there until the fall of 1907. He went to Seattle and later came to Juneau. MT. Wahl says he is the man referred to as Lewis Poison or Lewis Eipe.
