 sion a few days ago into the inviting country near the city. and decided that 1t would be a good idea to take some kind of lunch with them. MT. Bakers moth CT Is an excellent cook. and when the plan was explained 10 her. she agreed 10 bake a pie for the occasion. II the pie had not been exceedingly good. everything might have been we'll
 Tie two young men planned to start out on their evening trip as soon as they completed their days duties. and it was decided to leave the pie in the office of the News Miner. where MT Walker was em- ployod. until evening.
 But the best of plans sometimes miscarry. and this one did to a cer- tain extent. It seems, from what can be learned. that some employe of the News Miner has a wonderful smelling ability. when it comes to good things to eat. and he was not long in scenting the tempting fumes Of the hidden pie.
 The pie was located by means of its tempting odor, and it was decid- ed to taste it. The sample was so good that the remainder of the pie soon followed the sample.
 When the two young men went to get tfeir pie. not a trace of 1t could be found. Even the wrapping paper had disappeared. Then they began to accuse various employees in the office of having hidden it in a new place just to fool them. They have since learned that the pie was hidden by two members of the News Miner office but that it can never be regained.
 Writer Alice Hartman. who Boosts visited Fairbanks about Alaska two years ago. has
 written highly inter- esting article that was published in the Sunday magazine section of the Los Angeles Times, on January 20, this year. This article explains that Alaska is not land of frozen plains and mountains, but cheerful country where each season presents it's peculiar attractions. It also shows that the people of Alaska are just as modern in their modes of life and their ideas as are those of the States.
 The article is illustrated with page of pictures. which include scene at lawn party given in Fair banks in June and the picture Of Fairbanks cabbage patch. Some idea of the article may be obtained from the following, taken from 1t:

miles. Throughout it's length it is
strewn with boulders, some of which
are as large as a fair sized house.
"Whoever goes to Katahdin is sure
to encounter rain, since the mountain
manufactures it's own clouds and
manages it's own showers, without re-
gard to the meteorological conditions
prevailing elsewhere. The homemade
clouds may often be seen forming a
canopy over the SUBMITS, or even OBJ
securing the whole upper half of the
mountain.
THE vegetation is varied and inter-
esting in the extreme. The lower
slopes are densely wooded, but half
way up the mountain the trees fall off
suddenly to a stunted growth of black
spruce and frs. Some of these trees
are of great age. One. about five feet

Why Suffer
From Migraine or
Sick Head ache?
USE ANTl-KAMNIA TABLETS

Ord j. Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease does not shorten life,
out does not appear to be durable. Suffer-
ers from this affection are condemned to
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty years of age, after
which the attacks are less frequent, and
nnally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
possible to suggest, while care in the diet Is
the best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
Anti-kamnia Tablets when the first symp-
toms appear, and one Anti-kamnia Tablet
every two hours during the attack shortens
1t, eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamnie.Tablets may be obtained at
an druggists. Ask for AK Tablets. They
quickly relieve all Pain.

Exciting Arrest Of Game Poacher.
Sheriff Fred S. Pettingill of Pembroke,
last Monday arrested Wilbur Day of
Wesley for killing deer in violation of the
game law. The arrest was made at town
meeting, and an attempt at rescue was
only frustrated by Pettingills drawing
his revolver and intimating that he would
do his duty in guarding his prisoner.
The affair has created great excitement
in Wesley. Day was indicted at the
October term of Court, and since then
has openly defied arrest. Pettingill is
probably the only officer who could have
taken him. as he knew all the other
sheriffs in the country and was so sit
uated that he could easily escape into
the woods If seached for.
