THIS MIRACLE-REBIRTH"
By J. K. w..

When Winters icy breath
 Muttered the cold word Death Far seemed the dream of Spring A half forgotten thing. But. To! as in an bour,
 The sky opes like a flower, Rosy and blue with dawn,
 Its chilly mists withdrawn; And where bare boughs were seeI Hover soft clouds of green. Spurning the witheted leaves, The flowers start in sheaves, And OCT old Winters tomb
 Break into wondrous bloom While birds with joyous cries
 Wing shining to the skies. This miracle, re-birth,
 Thrills once again the earth, By resurrection stirred.
 Reused by the holy word:

One Weak Spot
Many Skagway People Have Weak Part and Too Often It's the Back

Many people have weak spot.
 Too often it's a weak back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist.
 Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backaehe Is often from weak kid neys.
 In such cases kidney medicine is needed.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For backache and urinary Ills.
 Good proof of merit in the fol- lowing statement.
 w. D. Barnett, 2S7 W. 4th St., San Pedro, Calf, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are an old standby with me. They have done me lot of good. I used them of and on for years and have never found their equal for kidney trouble. At times had attacks of backache that al- ways put me out Of commission. I could hardly stoop or straighten up, and my kidneys 'dian't act right. Deans Kidney Pills have never fail ed to straighten me up in good shape"

-O-O ~
 On Thursday the Women's Club met in Social Center for their regu- lar meeting with the President, Mrs. E. L. winterberger, presiding. After the general business was transacted, Miss Mabel Patt' Stone took the chair and very instructive and en- tertaining talks were given by Mrs. Howard Ashley and Mir. W. c. Blanchard. Mrs. Ashley reviewed "The Complete alden," by Taylor. She dwelt upon the cultivation of flowers and particularly that of win dow gardening, giving instructions as to harmonious crloring, and men toned the flowers that will thrive best in the north. AS Mrs. Ashley had seen the result of gardening in window boxes, she spoke with con- viction. Everyone present probably formed some plan to do little work in beautifying her home.
 Mir. Blanchard discussed the cul- ture of dahllas, .srbject with which he is quite familiar. MT. Blanchard gave a very complete history of the early flower when it was in it's prim- itive condition and continued on up to date, when the lovers of this beautiful flower are still experiment. ing with bulbs and seeds to produce a still more wonderful bloom. In a climate well adapted to the growth of the dahlia, the blossoms measure fourteen inches in diameter. After dwelling for some time upon the history of its growth, Mir. Blanchard gave a most instructive talk on the bulbs, having two as illustrations. He told those present how to plant the bulbs. the kind of soil, the posi- ton of the bulb, the depth in the soil. time for transplanting and many other things that he has learned from actual experience. MT. Blanchard says that no dahlia has ever reached perfection in this lati- tude, but that has not deterred him from keeping right along with his absorbing work. The frosts of Skag- way nip these dehcate plants too soon for them to reach their zenith of blossoming. Mir. Blanchard made a most interesting statement in re- gard to the color of dahlias; there has never yet been seen a blue dahl ia and many are trying to produce that color. At the conclusion of the session very fine luncheon was served. A~rS

PERSECUTION OF NO AVAIL

Watching an elderly man scattering
cracked corn to City Hall park spar
rows the other day stirred reminis-
cent vein in one of the bench occu-
pants.
"They treat sparrows differently
than they did twenty-five years ago."
he said Guess they discovered they
couldn't get rid of them and decided
to make them comfortable.
"a quarter of a century ago many
communities made determined efforts
to kill off sparrows. State and county
authorities offered bounties of one
cent a head for the birds. Boys made
considerable pocket money shooting
the creatures and in places men made
a business of trapping them. They'd
spread great nets over the roofs Of
barns and then rout the birds from
their roosts.
"But it was no use. Organized war
fare on the birds made inroads only
in the county treasures and the
bounty was declared off. Now they
feed the sparrows. Times sure do
change. New York Sun.

The Vaughan Quartet.

Last Sunday the Vaughan Quartet
of Lawrenceburg, Tenn, came t.
Union City for an appointment tx
sing at the. Cumberland Presbytc'
rian Church. They were present Of
the morning service and for the even
ing service they were invited to sing
at the Methodist Church. The con-
gregations at both the churches were
highly pleased with the music.
On Monday night the quartet, as
sisted by Misses Stone and Pickens,
were presented for recital at Rey-
nolds Theatre. There were several
very important meetings in town
that night and hence the crowd at
the theatre was not large, altho it
was not by any means unusually
small.
The program was combination of
popular and semiclassic selections.
They were all, without single ex-
ception, in the manner of treatment
and singing ability, musical gems of
rare quality
The male voices were evenly bal
anccd. There was one solo number
and some good solo voices, but the
various effects produced by quartet
singing are cultivated. The voices are
not only capable of fine points in
musical achievement but they are
rich in tone, and above everything
they are beautifully blended, with
the happy element of producing har-
mony effects, very worthy object |
of any musical organization.
1t should not be our purpose to
overlook the ladies. Miss Stone has
a very rich soprano voice and sang
some delightful numbers with a very
effect. She has had some
singing work in association with the
well known tenor, Oscar Scagle, but
she has individual singing and mu
steal tastes and training that prove
her ability.
Miss Pickens is an accomplished
pianist She is at home with stand
ard concert work, and the audience
was pleased with her performance, as
we'll as the entire program, and APP
)lauded generously and warmly

Montenegro will gain a navigable
outlet to the sea and nearly 10000
acres of rich new land, by negotiations
pending between Jugo-Slavia and AL
bania, which have as their objective
the lowering to sea level Of the ancient
lake of Scutari.
The project involves a cost Of

Scutari lake by eight feet through the
deepening of the River Boiana, from

Dates From Fifteenth century.

Interesting discoveries have been
made at "Ye Olde Griffin" hotel, Am
ersham, England, coaching house dat
ing back to the Fifteenth century. The
digging out of leaking water pipe
has brought to light perfect example
of an early Georgian fireplace. 1t has
wide seats on either side and an i'm
mense hearthstone in the center, with
an old-fashloned spit above it. On the
hearth were some old coins, one with
the date 1887. High up in the chin

was used as hiding place during the
