ATTORNEY M'COWAN ILL
 IN DAWSON HOSPITAL

Word has been received in Fair banks through various channels, all of them authentic. to the effect that Thomas A McGowan is a pretty sick man in the hospital in Dawson and that it will be necessary for him to go outside for medical treatment before he will be able to return to Fairbanks. The exact nature of the trouble is not known, but that the we'll known at torney is a pretty sick man can be gathered from the fact that his wife, who was on her way to Fairbanks from Dawson, received word at Tan ana to the effect that her return Daw- son was desired immediately. The message stated that Mir. McGown was in the hospital in Dawson and that his condition while not critical was suffi- ciently serious to warrant her imme- diately return from the lower river to her husbands bedside.

TREATY IF PEACE BE DISCUSSED
 TONIGHT

What do you mean by the caption Treaty of Peace?" We'll hers the answer.
 Our very great gradnfather Adam, by a wicked perversion of his physical freedom had deliberately refused to acknowledge God as his Father by child-like service. By this wanton act Adam killed the Divine Life of Grace in the soul of humanity, dis owned God as his Father, declared his independence of Him, disinherit- ed all humanity, upset the physical and moral order of nature put a curse on the physical world and in mans own soul by implanting the seeds of rebellion and vice. In consequence of this foolish pride of Adam, mans na- ture was wounded so that we all come into the world deprived of Divine Adoption, grow up with minds dark ened with passions in rebellion, with wills ayerse to good and strongly in clined to evil i. e. to taste of forbid den fruit" The everlasting noun ment to the folly of sin and to the Fall of Man is dependent of and suf- fering condition of our mothers, the perversity of man, sickness, disorder suffering death. By one man sin en- tered into this world and by sin death and so death passed upon all men in whom all have sinned" (Rom. 5-12) But dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return was not spoken of the soul" Longfellow's Psalm of Life)
 Far from the opening their eyes to the disastrous consequences of sin as seen in Adams rebellion, men of all ages foolishly added sin into sin, for getful of their noble orgin and destiny, forgetful that the observance of Gods commandments is essential to human happiness in this world and in the next. The human race could not re deem itself; so after 4000 years of human waywardness and misery, when the world was convinced of its utter helplessness the Eternal Son of God became man, was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary and through His created human nature made himself the victim of Gods justice for the ex- piation of the sins of all possible hu- man beings and by His sacrifice of atonement arranged a Treaty of Peace" between man and God. In virture of this atonement it Is possl- ble for all men of goodwill to rid themselves of sin, to reestablish them selves in the state of friendship with God, lay up treasures of merit for everlasting rewards and finally to feast on the Infinite Beauty of Gods presence and to enjoy the perfectly satisfying infinite love of God in heaven.
 Mission program Saturday evening in Eagle hall. Father Corbett will begin promptly at S;15 p. m. and will stop at 800 D. m. at the sound of the church bell.

Our Indebtedness to Slaves.

To the emperors and popes of by
gone ages, writes Mrs. Ida Hustled
Harper, the modern world is deeply in
debted for treasures Of art and archi-
lecture that without them never could
have existed. 1t was only by the labor
of unpaid and underfed slaves that
the Coliseum, the magnificent arches,
the enormous baths, the marvellous
palaces could have been erected; and
1t was only through grinding the faces
Of the poor by taxes and enforced con-
tributions that the splendid churches
could have been built and their match

emperors and unfortunate victims

Even Crabs Have Instinct.

Everyone has heard of the homiEg
instinct of birds and of insects, but il
is rather a surprise to be told that
animals as low in the scale of nature
as crabs have a similar instinct The
experiment has been tried in England
of capturing crabs, marking them for
Identification, and releasing them long
distances from their homes. The
most interesting example was that OF
a male and female captured together
in trap and carefully marked, and
then taken long distances away into
another county and released at differ.
ent places far apart from each other
Later the two were caught together
again in trap in their original home
showing that they had not only re.
turned to their home, but had found
each other and had again mated. The
homing instinct had enabled them to
go from the county of Lincolnshire
back to their original home in York
shire.

there came a mighty shout:
"Hurrah for the little red!"
This was repeated again and again
in the corridors of the capitol by the
Missouri frontiersman who had been
a listener. When the man became
calm enough to explain he said the
original little red" was a game

MAKE MONEY FROM sEAwEED

Held in common by all the farmers of

cation a strip of the seashore, and all
the seaweed that is cast up within
these limits belongs to him.
I Great powders mark the boundaries
of the farms, which are from 200 to
600 yards of shore, and IL any man
gathers seaweed from any other mans
farm or moves the powders to extend
his boundaries the council takes his
farm away from him and fines him be-
sides. The seaweed harvest is at its
height during the months of July and
August, and all that a man need pos
sess to gather 1t is two-wheeled
cart and one of the sturdy Guernsey
ponies, couple Of long-handled pitch
forks and a rake.
The seaweed or "varech," as the
Guernsey people call it, is used as fer
tilizer on the inland farms, or is sold
to manufacturing chemists, who ex-
tract iodine from It.
In the old days, but not now, the
great Guernsey harvest home" which
was held usually in May, at the con-
clusion of the winter season, was the
chief festival of that quaint island.
The last load was piled upon the carts,
and the men and women in holiday
dress marched at the head of their
carts with their ponies gayly bedecked.

the sound of the women's tambourines.
From village to village they went until
darkness came, and then huge bon.
fire was lighted on the seashore and

story over because most girls like to
think they have great influence for
good over bad boys. But after we got
married my wife watched me like a
hawk. She got confidential with all
my old friends and tried to find out
all about what | had been doing the
years before she came to town, and
when she couldn't run anything down
on me she became imbued with the
belief that / was a very sly knave be-
sides being as wicked as I had led her
to believe was.

to such an extent that the peace and

Use New Words.

The words we use every day make
up our vocabulary. and II is very
good thing that our vocabulary
should be as large as we can possibly
make it. The best way TO accomplish
that is to use as many new words
as possible as often as we can. Then
we get accustomed to them and they
are part Of our vocabulary. But
We must be sure that We understand
their meaning, and that We use them
in the right place. 1t is, better to
choose short words rather than long
ones.
