THE VILLA PUZZLE.
The present status of Mr. Villa
is an uitei esting suoject for spec
ulation. Uitn me ne.p ot u.e in
genious repo.teis wu have nad
tue unamiaule r'ancho in every
imaginable variety of predica
ment since that inglorious raid
on the American border which
brought upon his head by no
means uncertain displeasure of
L'ncie ba.n. At varying times
we have had him lost, found,
surrounded, whipped, wounded,
dying, finally dead and buried,
ostensibly as a result of wounds
received in battle against an over
whelming foe.
One would think that this was
in every way the ultimate, the
grand climax of reportorial
achievement; to first lead the
hero through a novelesque array
of thrilling situations and then, as
a grand finale, suddenly consign
him to the realms of immortality
when the audience stands breath
less. waiting for the final denoue
ment. •
It would seem that in drageing

it was manuesuy impossibh
to make uiucu moie capital oui
of him. ile could under no con
ditions or circumstances be con

was turned and ueatn at tue

evitable portion.
bo theie was apparently noth
ing else to do but cap the tan
tastic tale with the death of the
neio, arop the curtain and write
the obits, "irue, they could prob
ably have dragged him through
a tew more chapters and given
"our brave boys” a few more
w hacks at him.
But the puoiic were commenc
ing to lose interest in the tale,
me heio was a trine too elusive
uua tne aioresaid brave hoys
couldn t connect. Tilings were
gioinwg to tame so "Kequiescat

Know, bo .ur. V ilia came to an
inglorious end.
But, it we hgured that the news
gathering gentry had readied
ueir limit when they consigned
Br er Bancho to the cord, uainp
tomb we were badly fooled for
they have now dug him up again
and will play with the remains
tor a while.
All the rest was simply in tin
nature of an anti climax, it would
seem. 1 he handling of Air- V nia s
earlier career was masterly. Not
even a Dumas or a Alary John
-on could have fixed up a story
better or led the central figure
through a greater range of trou
bles. But seldom have the pro
fessional thrillers attempted such
a master stroke as the reporters
in their resurrection of Mr. Villa
irom the silent and corroding
grave to again become the cen
tial figure in the drama. That
as genius superlative. And the
st of it is that it has “stuck.”
Jr. Villa may be truly dead and
again, he may not but the ques
on : "\\ hat really has happened
to Mr. Villa-’ still lingers.
1 he hell to be endured here
after, of which theology tells, is
no worse than the hell we mike
for ourselves by habitually fash
ming our characters in the
• rong way.
“Could the young realize how
n they will become mere walk
ing bundles of habits, they
ould give more heed to their
• Aict while in the plastic state.
“We are spinning our own
fates, good or evil, and never to
be undone. Every smallest stroke
of virtue or of vice leaves its
.iev cr-so-Iittle scar.
“Tbe drunken Kip Van Win
kle, in Jefferson's play, excuses
himself for every fresh dereliction
by saying, ‘I wou't count this
1 time!’
"Well, he may not count it,
and a kind heaven may not count
it; but it is being counted none
the less. Down among his nerve
cells and fibres the molecules are
counting it, registering and stor
ing it up to be used against him
when the next temptation comes.
“Nothing we ever do is ,in strict
scientific literalness, wipecLout.”
—William James. *
DOUBLE MURDER*
AT KATALLA
A Katalla dispatch tells of a
double tragedy which was enacted
at the Chilkat village, a short dis
tance from Katalla. Two Indians
who had been drinking rather
freely, became involved in a quar
rel which resulted in one, Char
ley Kocklow, drawing a gun and
shooting Charley Thomas, who
died almost instantly from the
wounds received. Klocklow, be
coming alarmed at his rash deed,
and evidently fearful of the con
sequences, ended his life- The
news was brought to town by
several natives, and Judge Robert
Gray, who is ex-officio coroner,
started a party out in search of
the bodies. They were both found
on the beach and brought to Ka
talla. There were no gunshot
wounds nor powder marks on the
remains of Kocklow and some
little mystery surrounds his death.
The coroner started for the scene
of the tragedy to investigate.

There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good’’ in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HJPRESS”,
= White Boot
W "With the Red-Line
'round the Top”
****'" You know that when a Boot \
comes in and simply sweeps the country f
like “_HI PRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHING UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich “HI PRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual service Is that “HJPRESS” are constructed by *
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires— j
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE! j
There’s nothing to come apart —they, can’t leak, peel, crack or spilt! ;
They’re comfortable, too — shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “ HI PRESS” you’ll never be •
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE “HIPRESS” Boot—it has
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRESS** write at once for samples and pitrei
