The Loyal Order of Moose, founded as it is upon the
true manhood theory, is surely an organization that ap
peals to the person who is interested in the uplift of hu
manity and the betterment of conditions along all lines.
This order is one whose great endeavor is the amalgama
tion of the better element of each community into one
Big Brotherhood whose objects and aims are the advance
ment of social, educational and moral development, and in
view of this fact the Order solicits all men of the Cauca
sian race of good moral character to Join its ranks and as
sist In the great work that has now advanced from the
stage of theory to realization. The world admires a man
who is willing to sacrifice for others, but when the sacri
fice is a pleasure and brings benefits directly to him it
then becomes a business proposition. The Order has now
passed the million mark in numerical strength and is mak
ing wonderful strides in the fraternal world. We are pre
paring for the future of our membership by building Vo
cational Schools, Homes for the Widows and Orphans and
Homes for the Aged. Each member contributes $1.00 per
year for the maintenance of these institutions. Think
what one million dollars wiN do to provide for the help
less. It will sweep away pain from countless sickbeds and
bring hope to the aged and homeless. We accept all men
/ of the Caucasian race between the ages of 21 and 55 years.
Men over the age of 55 year* may Join as non-beneficial
members. There are Moose Lodges In nearly every Alas
kan city and Valdez will soon be in line with the others.
For particulars write J. FREDERICK JOHNSON, National
Organizer.

TROGLODYTES OF TRIPOLI.
They Live Underground, 8ome of Them
Never 8eeing Daylight.
In the region of Gharlan, in the hin
terland of Tripoli, there la an Invisi
ble town with 7,000 Inhabitants. This
city of the Troglodytes was visited by
Miss Ethel Braun and Is described by
her In her book, "The New Tripoli."
This city Is excavated out of rock
and earth. Its Inhabitants live under
ground, some of them never coming to
the surface. "The richer ones,” writes
Miss Braun, “are born In these dim
dwellings, never leaving them until
they are carried out to be burled.” The
rich families have, however, one recep
tion room over the ground at a height
of six or seven feet
Describing the Troglodyte prison.
Miss Braun tells of an Italian lady’s
experience while visiting the female
prisoners.
"They had never seen a European
woman before and asked her to take
off her hat No sooner bad she done
so that In a twinkling all her hairpins
were pulled out to be kept os sou
venirs by the women, who looked upon
them as most precious mementos.”
The friendly Troglodytes made
Arab tea for Miss Braun, “shat as It
Is called, made with powdered tea and
much, very much, sugar, so that It
tastes Just like a sirup,” and they
were very excited at the event of her
visit

He was standing at the counter of a
gun store waiting for a clerk when an
acquaintance came In. He was one of
those communicative acquaintances
who catch the victims by the button
hole and talk and talk and say things
over and over. Presently the clerk
came up.
“Do you keep the Maxim silencer?"
asked the waiting man.
“Yes, sir."
“Is It any good—will It stop the
noise?"
“It will."
“Have you one for a large borer
“We have them for all sizes."
“Will they work on a repeaterr
“They’ll work on anything.”

Tongue Charms.
The tongues of animals have been
and still are In some parts of the
world favorite amulets. A tongue cut
from a living fox la said to ward off
disease of all kinds, but as the person
carrying one will surely die If be hap
pens to meet a fox at any crossroads
the charm Is seldom used. The tongue
of the vulture plucked out with Iron
and hung about a man's neck In a new
cloth will bring him what be desires,
and some East Indians believe that If
they do not bite off the tip of the
tongue of any wild animal they kill
they will not have good .uck In bunt
ing.—London Tit-Bits.

CUPID’S QUEER PRANK.
A Wedding Blunder That Furnished a
Curious Climax.
The other evening we were talking
to Mr. Bransby Williams, the delight
ful Impersonator of Dickens' charac
ters, and be told us this story:
The scene was a London parish, and
the period recent The vicar was sib
ting in his study one morning when in
burst the verger In a great state of
excitement
“Mr. -" (mentioning the oorate’s
name! “wants you at once, sir,” he
exclaimed. “He has married two cou
ples and married the two men to the
wrong women, and be does not know
what to dol"
“Have they signed the register?*’ In
qulred the clergyman.
“No," was the verger’s response.
“Then they can be married again,"
said the vicar. "Tell Mr. - I will
be at the church In a minute or two to
perform the ceremony.”
In due course the Incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance.
Before he could say anything one of
the bridegrooms approached and said:
“We have been talking it over, sir,
and we have made up our minds to
remain as we are.”
And they did so.—Pearson’s Weekly.
