Siberian SianaI Men.

It Is probable that nowhere save in Siberia are cOnyicts employed in any service pertaining to the operation of railways. In thdt place of exile there are many good conduct men, who spend their lives in little huts along the line of railway, always q vcrst apart, whose duty it is to signal with green flags that the road is clear At night they signal with green lamp.
 If the traveller stands between the railway cars at midnight he may tick off the green lights as the train spins along. Away down the black avenue will appear a tiny green speck AS the cars proceed this spcck will become larger and larger, and finally the figure of a man holding up the lamp is dis tinguishable in the darkness. And there are thousands of these men along the line. A signal started today in Moscow runs for eleven days, until it is broken on the banks of Lake RaiEal, beyond IrkutSk.-NIinncapOlis Journal

 The young lawyer arose in court and called for q reading of the contract. When the reader came to the words, And the said Farlleux shall pay to the said depositors together and to no one or two separately the sum of 100,' GOO francs" Du BOis stopped him and said:
 Your honor, my client is ready to pay the 100000 francs specified under the contract to the three deposltors to gether, but is prohibited by the con tract from paying the money to two of them separately"

GERMAN NAVY
 IS GROWING

Amsterdam, Aug. 4-While the greatest secrecy is maintained by the German authorities concerning the affairs of the navy and the confirmation of reports circulated is usually impossible, 1t is known that great and unceasing activity exists in all German shipyards.
 The fighting strength of the Ger man navy at the present time can only be a matter of conjecture, while Its power Of expansion has been the subject of considerable speculation.
 To his battle squadron the Kais- CT has undoubtedly already added the Krorprinz, which was laid down at Kiel in the middle of 1912, while the battle cruiser Luitzow, launched at Danzig near the end of 1915, and the Ersatz Hertha, laid down in the same year, will certainly have joined the waiting battle cruiser squadron by this time.
 The best known of the new ships under construction are tn Ersatz Worth and the "T," both commenced early in 1914. These vessels are approximately of 28,OOO tons displacement and mount eight fifteen-inch guns. Compared with the Queen Elizabeth class they car ry the same armament much more efficiently protected, but at an in ferior speed.
 The building of submarines is known to be progressing steadily night and day, ever increasing the menace to British commerce. Some Of them are of such size and pow CT as to be almost worthy the name of under water battleships.

The Vanishina Road.

We are all treading the. vanishing road of song in the air, the vanish ing road of the spring flowers and the winter snows, the vanishing roads of the winds and the streams, the vanish ing road of beloved faces. But in this great company of vanishing things we feel that there is q reassuring cOmrade- ship. We feel that we are the units in vast ever moving army, tue van guard of which is in eternity. The road still stretches ahead of us. For little while yet we shall experience all the zest and hustle of marching feet. The swift running seasons, like cOuriers bound for the front, shall still find us on the road, and shower on us in passing their blossoms and their snOws. For a while the murmur of the running stream of time shall be our fellow wayfarer-till, at last. up there against the sky line, we, too, turn and wave our hands, and know for our selves where the road wcuds as it goes to meet the stars. And others will stand as We today and watch us as we disappear, and wonder how it seemed to us to turn that radiant corner and vanish with the rest along the van lshing road.-From Vanishing Roads," by Richard Le Gallienne.

4 New Back for an Cid One. How
 1t Can be Done in Alaska

The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the Joins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. AL askan residents would do well to profit by the following example.
 John I. Conger, prop, printing shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Sal em, Oregon, says: My back got weak and sore and my kidneys did not acI as they should. At times I could hardly 'straighten. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and it took them only a short time to rid me Of kidney trouble. I pub licly endorsed them several years ago and am glad to do so again."

WASHINGTON GREATEST
UNINSURED MORTAI

Speaker Champ Clark. addressing the congregation Of Washington
 church the day before Washington's
 birthday declared that George Wash
 ington was "the iorerost uninspired
 mortal in the entire history of the human race"
 "Tho many great men have lived and wrought in this glorious world" he said, Out in completeness Of char acter and in the farreaching. import ant and benedcient results Of his la- borious achievements Washington ov- ertops them all."
 Washington's greatest service. the Speaker thought. was not as com. manderin-ehief Of the Revolutionary army and the first President Of the Republic. but as president Of the Con- sttutional Convention, where his com handing influence made formation of the republic possible
 Tt always has appeared queer to. me- the Speaker added. "that artists historians, poets, preachers and bio graphers have made SO little use oil the scene where Washington was on his knees in the snowy woods of Valley Forge praying to God for succor for his naked and starving army and for salvation of his country while Lord Cornwallis and his well.fed, wellclad soldiers held high carnival in their well-appointed camps.
 Somebody may object that Wash ington occasionally drank a mint iulep, bet on a horse race, danced the Vir- ginia reel and at Monmouth swore be- cause Gen. Charles Lee spoiled the plan of battle, by retreating when ordered to charge But we must judge men by the manners and customs Of the times in which they lived and not by those Of our times. Tn Washington day nearly : an men drank mint juIeps. occasion ally danced, bet and swore without any consciousness of sin. Washington was thoroughly human and no doubt some times sinned. am glad he pos. sessed the ordinary passions Of man and that he did sometimes sin. for it shows we belong to the same breed ! that he did. which Is 9 great honor to the rest Of us.

Beginning of EngIand's Victorious Era


life And back of 1t an directly or in directly, was the placid little woman who ruled the realm. She held her royal rank as a sacred trust Such mistakes as she made were those of the head, not of the heart. And, like Elizabeth and Anne, she was blessed with host of geniuses to make her reign more glorious
 Such statesmen as Disraeli, Mel bourne, Peel.
