FORMER ALASKAN MAN
RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
According to the hotel column of
the Washington Post, a former resi
dent of Alaska may become a candi
date for the Republican nomination
for vice president next year. He is
George R. Walker, now practicing in
Chicago.
The statement is attributed by the
Post to George W. Drew, also of Chi
cago, Mr. Drew said:
“Judge Walker, who is a veteran
lawyer, has returned to the practice of
law at the Cook county bar. After
twenty-three years of practice in co
partnership with Judge Ilenrv Ar.
Freeman and S. K. Dow. Mr. AValker
was four years United States attor
ney for the Southern district of the
Indian Territory. Following that
service he was made United States
attorney for the third judicial divis
ion of Alaska, where he served four
veers. Judge AValker was a distin
guished schollar nt Yale as a law stu
dent. and also was noted for his liter
ary taste, and graduated with high
rank in his class, and one of his fel
low graduates was former President
William II. Taft. AVliile Judge Walker
was in AVashington recently lie call
ml on Dr. Radcliff and later occu
pied Lincoln's pew in his church.
“The judge come of a noted nad dis
ti gnished family of the state of
Ohio, and lie is not only well known
throughout the state, but all over the
country. Judge AValker is strong
| and popular with the people and hi'
j many friends are urging that lie is
i Mist the man to put on the ticket for
] i’O president.’’

GUGGENIIEIMS TO OPPERATE

There line been persistent rumor

■ some extensive work there this sc
I son. A recent issue of the Seward
j i mi towny tends to confirm this report
a follows:
“That the Gimgenlieims were real!
the purchases through Tom Aiken
of the property of the Wells boys i>
Broad Pass and that they sent or
an assay outfit this morning to 1 o
gin testing the ores are facts which
are now perfectly well established
John Reichart left this morning wit1
j "ime of the assaying outfit which '
| consigned to Engineer Dunkle, who
j now at Knik and who represents th
| • •uggenheims. It is reported that M:
1 Reichart will return to Seward and

j this report caused many to bellev

I is gone to the interior by way of
! Skogwsy and this fact, coupled with
| the knowledge that lie never saw
j Broad Pass, confirmed the belief slat

jtlie Guggenheims were the actual

I the Wells ami Aiken. The assaying
j outfit taken out from Seward tins
morning for Dunkle will lie taken to

WILD GOOSE LIFE.
The Gander la a Master of Strategy
and a Fierce Fighter.
We know nothing of the courtship
of the wild goose, but we feel assured
that it must be a seemly and worthy
affair. Once mated, there is no fur
ther need for vows and protestations,
for tlie birds mate for life. Together
they unite iu building tlie uest. but tlie
goose alone watches over tlie eggs,
while day and night the gander weaves
iu all directions on water and on laud
his trails of watchfulness.
Neither man nor beast may approach
without being fiercely and successfully
assailed, buffeted and routed by a re
lentless attack with beak and wings.
Tills guardianship Is trebled when the
new generation, helpless and depend
ent, voices its first need for protee
tion from the perils which encompass
aud beset It
if, perchance, the small family elects
to remain on tlie shore tbe parents
will circle round and round the group
of golden goslings, and if danger
threatens from any one direction the
gander, by some miracle of strategy
will succeed in placing himself at tbe
one vulnerable point of his intrench j
uient. His loyalty, astuteness and un
selfishness arp not to be found in those j
unobservant folk who have presumed
to slander him.
In swimming the strictest discipline
Is maintained. The young form in
single file, following the mother, while :
tlie gander brings up the rear, with
eyes constantly sweeping tbe whole j
range of vision, ills vigil is ceaseless
and untiring.
Such is flip life of these two birds
that are mated in more than sex, and i
when death comes to one or the other j
of them we know that many times the I
one that remains will seek no other I
mate, lint will return each spring to j
the site of Ills former nest, wliicb be
will never renew again. —Atlantic

Foot Comfort Is Essential to the
Soldier In Warfare.
THE GERMAN MILITARY SOCK.
It Is In the Form of a Large Napkin,
Is the Result of Years of Study and
May Be Folded About the Foot Thir
ty Different Ways to Relieve Pain.
The famous Held marshal, Vou
Moltke, once said that the Anglo-Sax
ons are a warlike people, but that the
Germans are a military people The
Anglo-Saxon tights to the death when
war comes, cureless of his previous
preparation After tile war is over he
drops his arms, dismisses all thoughts
of war from his mind and returns to
his civil pursuits. The German on the
other hand, feels in time ut pence as
keen an interest in wai as he does in
tile midst of a conflict, lie lakes note
of his errors in one war and when
peace comes devotes himself to reme
dying these errors.
A German officer who was visiting
America spoke of the way in which his
people addressed themselves to war
problems In time of peace.
"Here is an excellent Illustration." lie
said. and. lifting his loot, lie took off
his shoe. From about his foot he then
took, not the ordinary sock that men
wear elsewhere, but a sort of napkin
or handkerchief, which was carefully
folded about it
"This." he said, "is the German mill
tary sock. It is the result of years of
study and experiment by the best
minds, not only in the German army
hut In German science and medicine
During the Franco l'rnssiun win ot
1870, when our armies were making
forced marches around .Metz and on
to Sedan, our infantry was mtich im
peded by sore feet. When it came to
having a certain n mil her of men at a
certain point at a certain time for a
decisive stroke we were usually fiutn
10 to HO tier cent short, nccaitse so
many men had fallen out ot the ranks
from sore feet.
"We got through the war all right,
for our enemies were as badly off in
that respect as we \yere, hut as soon
as tile war was over the government
ordered every man ini the service to
turn his attention to contriving a form
if footwear that would lie mure serv
iceable to the man of peace when sod
denly called to war. It wits years be
fore the present sock was adopted
Phousunds of dollars were spent in
experimenting. Thousands of soldiers
marched in all kinds of footgear, test
cd every possible kind of sock and
stocking. After years of trial this form
was chosen Here are some of tin
ways in which it can lie worn "
Thereupon the officer took the nap
kin. which was about eighteen ot
twenty inches square, made of cotton
and linen and folded it about his foot
with the deftness of a Turk winding
Ills turban about liis head Then, un
wrapping it. he folded it about his
root in a different inannei and then
in still a third way.
"There are about thirty different
ways of folding this sock uhoul the
foot." he said, "and during his three
vears in the army the soldier is taught
to become expert in using them all.
Kach manner of folding it has a differ
cut purpose. One will relieve a sore
ness of the heel; another a weariness
of tlie instep; a third will protect an
irritated corn, and a fourth will re
lieve tile Inflamed ball of the foot. At
tile same time that the soldier is ,
taught these different methods of
wrapping the sock he also learns the
natomy of the foot, and just why the i
different wrappings relieve the differ
ent foot ailments.
“After serving Ills two years in tin
in-ray.” continued the officer, "the sol
licr goes back to civil life and lie
'omus. let us say. a clerk at a desk
For ten years be doesn't walk a mile
i day At the end of that time wai
breaks out and lie is culled lo the col
or.s He goes to the depot ol his regt
moot and there finds among Ids otliei
accoutrements two pairs ot these mtli
tary socks
"Next morning lie starts to march
with Ids regiment. At the end of an
hour, when he has tramped two 01
throe miles over a country road, he is
allowed ten minutes for rest. Now.
the chances are that that soldiet has
a pair of very sore feet. He sits down
lakes off Ills shoe, diagnoses his sore
places, and. recalling his early train
ing, folds his sock back on Ids foot so
as to give immediate relict. When, u
few minutes later, he falls into line.
lie has virtually a ncn pair of feet.
And this he does just as often as new
foot troubles appear
"The tremendous advantage that an
array thus equipped has over one that
wears the old fashioned sock is obvi
ms. if ‘getting there with the moat
men first' is the science oi war the
army with the German sock is at least
one-third more effective than the oth
er.”— Youth's Companion.
