ALEX HANOT THROUGH WORK:
 GOES OUTSIDE
PEDRO OPERATOR FINISHES UP AND WILL GO OUTSIDE
 FOR THE WINTER.

Alex Hanot, the well known Pedro creek mining man, has finished up his summers work and is now preparing to take a trip to the Outside. He will spend the winter i n various coast cities, and will return to Fairbanks over the trail in the spring to resume summer mining operations on discov- cry Pedro. It is probable that MT. Hanot will get away for the Outside early in the week.
 The mining firm of Hanot Brothers took out 6S,500 square feet of ground during the summer in their scraping operations on Pedro. They scraped in three cuts. The scraper used was one of the models they invented them selves, and according to reports, it proved very successful. In fact, ac- cording to statements made by promi- nent mining men, the new device has the effect of considerably reducing the expense of mining
 The ground of Hanot Brothers on Pedro is all ready for work next sum- nler. All of the overburden down to gravel on 10000 square feet of ground is already stripped. It will therefore be ready for operations just as soon as the frost goes out of the ground sufficiently to permit scraping.

AMERICA TO RESCUE.

Again the tragic history of the Ar menians and Syrians is brought to the foreground by the successful attempt of the Armenian Relief Committee in raising five millions of dollars. These people might be called the first cous- ins of the Teutonic peoples. for they are the intermediate races between the Hindoos of Asia and the Europe ans. Both, or rather, all three, belong 10 the Aryan branch of the white race
 These people, the Armenians and Syrians, as early as the second cen tury, were converted to Christianity. They broke with the European branch of that religion in the fifth century on the doctrine of the Trinity. That form. which they then held. Is still the religion in spite of the conquest of the Mohammedans in the sixth cen tury and the unspeakable Turk for the last thousand years.
 This unhappy people has lived an dlieu III lduu W LOSc calLci pl opueto, at least, taught that Paradise lay in the shadow of crossed swords" Yet both nations have not only preserved their nationality and religion but have been known for centuries for their work in the fine arts. They are in dustrious. frugal people and peaceful; ; yet even in the last dozen years. civi- lization has been staggered by the the Turks It is well that America has not forgotten the unhappy in the days of her prosperity.

ANIMALS DO STRANGE,
 INTERESTING THINGS.

There are a great many strange facts about animals and insects that seem to defy explanation. Here are few
 A fly will crawl to the top of a window pane, fly back to the bot tom and crawl up again. Hardly ever does it fly up and crawl down. It has been known to repeat this former act over 30 times before stopping.
 Hens always scratch for food with the sun behind them. A blind hen always manages to get the sun be- hind her when scratching. and she will miss but few bits of food
 Cats hardly ever lie with their feet to the fire In most cases they lie instead with their left side to it Dogs invariably lie with outstretched paws to the fire
 A mouse overlooks perfectly safe food supply, sufficient for a meal or two. to enjoy the perilous pleas sures of an unlimited store It will hide near the food and come out to nib ble when hungry. for it is not true that mouse will seek it's hole at the first alarm.
 If a small snake is kept in captivi- ty and fed and cared for. it will become tame and after few months crawl to its captor for food when approached. This is true especially of the small and harmless varieties.
 The habit of dogs turning around several times before lying down is said to be one of the wild traits of this animals prehistoric ances- tors who did so to make bed in the grasses and leaves Foxes and wolves have the same habit when lying down in the open where there is no grass.
 The unerring ability of the homing pigeon to find its former abode is not due to sense of location, but rather to a natural instinct, which cats and dogs have displayed when taken from their homes
 Elephants are noted for their memory in recalling a kindness or an injury; also for their timidity at the sight of mouse and refusal to cross a bridge or other structure they are doubtful of bearing their enormous weight

It was the fortune of an unfortuna to auto tourist to have his machine break down in front of a farm. the owner of which augmented his fortune by serving good board to persons who fled the city in summer. so the story by Congressman Frederick c. Hicks. of New York. goes.
 You have lot of nice scenery around here," rema rked the autoist as the farmer obligingly helped him on the repairs. Tt is just wilk enough to be attractive"
 Yes" was the reply. Tt might be a whole lot worse"
 'I don't suppose you have any wolves around here?"
 No. not exactly" chuckled the farmer. but if you want to see the next best thing jes stay here till l open the dinin' room doors."

THE RELISH OF ALL RELIsHEs.

Be careful in your selection, Ameri- cans preferred. Germans are also good; do not choose too young, and take only such varieties as have been reared in a good moral atmos. phere. When once decided upon and selected let that part remain for, ever settled, and give your entire thought to preparation for domestic use. Keep in hot water very seldom and only for short time. Even poor varieties may be made sweet. tender and good by garnishing them with patience. well sweetened with smiles, and favored with kisses to taste. Then wrap we'll in mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years and improve with age.
 This recipe is for one only.-Ex.

ABOUT THE STRIKES.

At last the summer-long strike of the Seattle longshoremen is over. It ended. if we may trust the telegraphic reports. because the leaders of the strikers, like those in New York, fail ed in their efforts at sabotage The strikers have gained nothing from the strike except the debts they have made on account of the lack of work.
 For the good of the strikers as well as the rest of the country some way must be discovered whereby these strikes can be settled without so much suffering. Roosevelt seems to have pointed out way in the Pennsylvania strike of his administration; yet the leaders of both contestants seem as far from common ground as ever. If the strikes, with their consequent evil effects on the innocent bystander, continue. the federal government will have to take a hand AS the New York World notes in recent edi- torial. both employer and employee are playing with dynamite.

Father and Son Die Within a Week.

An unusually pathetic incident oc-
cured at Georgetown, in the northeast
corner of Grant parish, last week when
an aged father and son died within a
few days of each other. Mr.. Joshua
P. Groom, aged about 20 years. an old
and well known citizen of Grant parish

veloped into pneumonia. Hewas taken

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when oldef, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
ength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.
