 RECEPTION 0N BOARD
 FUR NOVELTIES

The reception given aboard the Alaskan Siberian Navigation Con- pany's steamship Buford last Sun day evening was one of the most enjoyable affairs attended by resi- dents of Nome in slime time. The novelty of the entertainment was unique and the hospitality shown the guests by Capt. L. l.. Lane and his capable staff of subordinates were such that deserve the highest praise from everyone present.
 There was something doing from the time the first guests arriv- ed aboard until the last adieus were said at the gangway upon depar- ture. The ship was inspected from stem to stern by every guest aboard. this was made possible through the courtesy of Capt. Lane who turned the entire ship over to his guests for the evening.
 After every nook and corner had been inspected by the crowd. they then repaired to the Pavilion hall and were treated to twenty minutes of high class entertainment by MT. Reynolds one of the ships chefs. MT. Reynolds proved himself to be one of the best versatile singers that Nome has heard in years. After the entertai inment rendered by MT Reynolds the Nome Orchestra took

 During the dancing the miniature store located at the forward end of the hall was kept open and refresh ments in the form of soft drinks and ice cream were dispensed to the guests. After a number of delight full dance pieces had been rendered the dancers were shown to the din- ing room where an elaborate lunch con had been prepared for the guests of the evening.
 When the guests climbed aboard the lighter to come ashore the Nome Band played farewell number and the crowd gave repeated hearty cheers for Captain L. Lane and the good ship Buford. The steamer re- sponded with her siren and so ended the delightful party, unique in it's conception and precfdent in Nome shipping circles.

O|sTEMPER IN DOGS PROPER TREATMENT :.
 GOVT. METHOD


 ment Station is just in receipt of information regarding possible rem edy for distemper among dogs, in reply to an inquiry recently made of the Washington office. The matter was laid before the Bureau of Ami mai Industry who submit the follow ing:
 Dstemper oscurs in several diff ferent forms, thus. there Is the eye distemper. the respiratory form. the gastric form. the nervous form. and the exanthematous form. Young dogs in the second half year of life are chiefly affected. but dogs of any age may contract the disease and one attack does not always confer complete immunity.
 The respiratory system bears the chief brunt of the attack The mu- cosa of the air passage is bright red, swollen and covered with seropurul- ent secretion. The lymph glands are enlarged. In most cases there is catarrhal pneumonia. In fatal cases the pleura is often found cov- cred with fibrinous exudation; there may be fluid in the pericardial cavi- ty and fatty degeneration of the heart. The liver and kidneys show fatty or parenchymatous degenera- ton. and there may be myelitis. Intense catarrah of the conjunctiva may lead on to ulcerative keratitis. The familiar symptoms are lassi- tude. loss of appetite, shivering. a dry nose, scanty urine, thin watery discharge from nose and eyes. dry husky cough and sneezing. Dis charge from nose and eyes become purulent, obstructing the nostrils and gluing the .eyelids together. There is rapid cancellation and loss of strength. The initial exanthema may occur in severer form along with diarrhea and icterus.. When broncho-pneumonia sets in there is a characteristic offensive odor from the body.
 Regarding the use of distemper ser um for the treatment and preven- tion of dog distemper, there is con- siderable difference of opinion amongst veterinarians turnout the country relative to the efficacy Of the serum for canine distemper. Generally speaking, it is thought that while the serum may lesson the severity of an attack, it does not always bring about cure. and it is always deemed necessary to resort to some medical treatment. nursing and nforcement of hygienic meas ures. Many veterinarians make use of distemper vaccines and serum as preventives of the disease; but here again their reports show consider able variations regarding the effic- acy of the products.
 The treatment of distemper is largely symptomatic, and is usually attended with considerable difiicul- ty. The animal should be provided with clean and comfortable bedding in q room or kennel where there are no draughts or appreciable changes in temperature. In damp or chilly weather the puppy might be wrapped in wooIen cloths. al- though this must ont hamper the freedom of the animals movements. A moderate amount of exercise should neither be discouraged nor enforced.
 The Bureau has frequently re- commended tincture of nux vomica ir not over five drop doses twice daily as "pick me up" and as an appetizer, inasmuch as the appetite is frequently absent. Raw eggs and milk do wonderfully good service in keeping up the dogs strength. Good nursing and encouragement of

Bentley, sold by Jack Dunn, Of Bal
timore, to "Jawn" McGraw for a
small fortune, has shown very little
since the season opened.
In the two starts he has attempted,
he has been knocked out of the box.
It is now reported that McGraw, act
ing on the principal that if Mahomet
will not go to the mountain, the noun
tain must be carried to Mahomet, is
looking around for some team Bent
ley can beat, and will use him only
against such. McGraw states that
there are teams that can always dump
certain pitchers. All he has to do
now is to find the teams that are not
Bentley's hoodoos, and serve them up
to his expensive southpaw.
It looks now as if Dunn had I'M
loaded gold brick on Muggsy, but
the season is young yet, and perhaps
Bentley will soon round into the form
that made him a terror in the Inter-
national League.

An interesting pugilistic event will
be pulled off on May IL, when Jess
Willard will essay a comeback, in an
effort to gain sufficient recognition to
be given chance to regain his heavy
weight crown, lost to Dempsey.
Ordinarily, pugilists seldom regain
lost ground, specially after remaining
from the ring as long as Willard has.
Reports, however, say he is in splen-
did shape, and better man than he
was at the time he was laid low by
the present champion.
If Willard can approach the form
he was in when he knocked OUT john
son he can make trouble for any an
tagonist. His tremendous size should
enable him to stand off a better box
er land his wonderful hitting power
stand him in good stead, should he be
lucky enough to land on the right
spot. In any sort of condition he is a
dangerous man.

Meanderings OF A Mildly
Militant Mind
Bushels of Blossoms

A year or so ago, in the spring
time, when the earth was touched te
beauty by the miracle Of budding leaf
and flower, the catawpa trees in on,
yard burst into abundant bloom
Their wealth of bell-shaped blossoms
hung, bit of natures filigree, against
the gold and azure sky.
Then, one night during a storm, a
gale Of wind shook the trees as though
in anger and stripped their branches
BARE The earth beneath them and
for yards all round was carpeted with
blossoms, a solid mass Of pale purple
bloom.
Wonderful" I exclaimed. 81, in
my humble home, have bestowed upon
me a privilege royalty might covet.
Behold, I tread fower-strewn way!'
AS I walked back and forth about
my work my heart sang with joy, a
paean of praise to the Bountiful Civ
er of ALI " lavish was nature
with her 04ts! How sweet the sense
Of exaltation-a path of flowers!
But-strangely, swiftly, a change
swept over me.
Step lightly as I would, mine was
no fairy football. The blossoms
crushed beneath my weight. They
gave out a sickening odor.
"Remonstrance," I thought. "They
resent my walking over them. After
all, it is not so pleasant. do not
like it. It is too much Of good
thing. In their place they are all
right. But under my 'feet-ugh!"
And into the house I went, got my
broom and vigorously began clearing
the path. I shoveled the blossoms,
bushels Of them into basket and car
ried them away, making a great pile
in the center of the back yard. There
they wilted and died. But they had
taught me lesson, one I shall never
forget.
Just this
The things we can not have and of
which We wistifully dream, once ours,
may prove to be not at all worth
while.
Visualizing paths of ease, wishing
for luxuries, are foolish pastimes.
Better far the struggle to gain
what we desire than have it fall un-
earned into our hands,.
Better the appreciation of distant,
beauty than a showered
wealth of it to crush beneath our
feet.
Better one tiny blossom, thankfully
accepted and tenderly cherished, than

sense of gratitude and deadens our A.
bility to enjoy. !.
Better encouragement and discon-
tent through ambitions too high for
cur attainment than satisfaction and
stagnation through possession of un-
merited or easily won honors.
Better a meager measure of bles-

it naturally is than, misled by tickle
fancy, We sometimes wish it might be.
