THE GREAT STONE FACE

Based upon the great Scone Face there was a prophecy thai at some time child would be born in the village near it. And this child would bear an exact resemblance to the Great Stone Face.
 The first man, by name of Gath- er-Gold, whom the people claimed to look like the Great Stone Face, returned to his native valley. He had grown to be very fieh and 1t was because of his vast wealth. that people believed him to be the man O. prophecy. But when his wealth dwindled down to nothing and he died a poor man, the people saw that they were wrong and settled down to await the coming of the next man.
 General Blood and Thunder was tbe second ono hailed as the re semblapce of the Great Stone Face by the people. Alas! he might have looked mora like the Great Store Face if his face had only ex- pressed gentle wisdom aud ten

The Proof That Alaskan Readers
 Cannot Deny

Whei could furnish stronger eVi- denca ot the efficiency of any rem W than the test of time. Thous- ands cf people testify that Doan's Kiduey Pills have brought lasting results.
 Grateful endorsements should prove undoubtedly the merits of thi remedy. Years ago people tes- titje1 to the relief they had de- riYeT from the use of Doan's Kid uey Pills. They now confirm their testimonials. They say that time has completed the test.
 Joseph Wint, retired blacksmith 668 High St., Salem, Ore, says: My back and kidneys bothered me My Kidneys were disordered and mN hack seemed to lose strength. Short use of Doan'a Kidney Pills soon put me in good condition"

der sympathies." But these were lacking and in their stead was a war worn, weather beaten counten- ance, full of energy and expressive lof an iron will When he died the people saw their mistake and while still awaiting for the right man to come, Old Stony Phdz, a statesman appeared. Surely the man of prophecy had come at last! thought the people. His brow with its massive depth and loftiness and his other features bore the re- semblance to the Great Stone Face. But the "sublimity and stateliness the grand expression of divine sympathy as were on the mountain Yisage were wanting in the face of Old Stony Phiz.
 Now their came into this world a wonderful poet. He also was a native of the valley where the great Stone Face was. His tho'ts were shown in his romantic verses and poetry.
 This dear poet never forgot the Great Stone Face and so he wrote a most beautiful poem of it. So when Ernest, an old clergyman of the village read it he thought Che man of prophecy had come at last'
 Years before there was bonn in this particular village O child by the name of Ernest. As he grew older he saw all these men come to fulfill the prophecy and he was disappointed each time. Ernest was no" an old man and people came far and wide to see and talk with him, for he was So noted for his ideas and knowledge not gained from books. Now, this loving poet heard of Ernest and so came to see and converse with him. And when one evening Ernest was talking to the people, his face assumed a grandeur of expression SO imbued with penevolence, that the poet shouted aloud:
 Behold! Behold! Ernest is himself the likeness of the Great Stone Face!"
 As the people looked, they saw that what the poet said was true But Ernest took the Poets arm and walked slowly homewards hoping that some wiser and better man than himself would, by and by ap- pear and fulfill the prophecy oi the Great Stone Face.

So several men went up and put chains around this rock and fastened 1t to the rock behind it.

en-. The speaker displayed thor
ough and accurate knowledge Of his
subject. reading one of the most in
teresttng and comprehensive papers
ever presented before this organiza-
ton. Mr.. Elton presented fact upon
fact, citation upon citation and court
rulinps and decisions galore even up
to the supreme tribunal of his state,
all in manner that appealed to his
hearers.

hour. but even then the visitors were
on their feet asking questions and
demanding more. In moving for a
rising vote of thanks to the speaker.

was unqualiiedly the best presenta-
ton Of the subject he had ever heard
| at any Of the many conventions of
funeral directors attended by him
