The Quality line ot Canned Goods
ERHAPS at some time you’ve bought a can
of peaches, or a can of corn, or a can of some
thing else, with simply no thought as to the
brand. You asked for “something good”. Maybe
you got it and maybe you didn’t. This can may have
been good and the next one bad—a case of the pack
not being uniform. This is one reason why this store
carries a very complete line of S. & W canned goods.
You can always depend on the quality. S & W are
truly “in a class by themselves.” We sell them to
you “every can guaranteed or money refunded.”

Unless They Have Complied With
Requirements of Law Is Decis
ion of Judge Brown.
The case of Van Schuyver versus
Oscar Breedman was dismissed in the
district court this morning, the court
holding that as the plaintiff was a
foreign corporation, and had not filed
its articles of incorporation and ap
pointed'a local agent upon whom leg
al papers might be served, as requir
ed by the Alaska code, it had no
standing in court.
This is the case argued before the
court last Friday, wherein the plain
tiff, wholesale lftiuor dealers of
Portland, Ore., had sold to the de
fendant, Oscar Breedman, a saloon
keeper in the Copper River valley,
merchandise to the amount of $800.
Breedman admitted having receiv
ed the goods but refused to pay for
them, claiming that the wholesalers
had not complied with the law. It
was purely a technical defence, but
the court has sustained it and it will
now go to the circuuit court of ap
peals.
The case is of great interest to the
people of Alaska, because if Judge
Brown is sustained in the higher
court all foreign concerns doing busi
ness in Alaska will be called upon
to pay the same tax as Alaska con
cerns are forced to pay the federal
government. It may even result in
suits being filed by the district at
torneys of the different divisions for
the payment of back taxes for the
time that the foreign concerns have
been doing business in the north.
Attorneys Donohoe & Dimond will
take the case to the circuit court of
appeals at San Francisco. Attorney
Capers, of Cordova, represented Os
car Breedman.

WINNING HAPPINESS.
Get on Good Terms With Yourself and
Everything About You.
ETappiness can never come from the
outside to the inside unless happiness
already exists in the inside. We be
come happy because there are certain
elements within us that respond im
mediately to the things that make up
happiness.
To be thoroughly happy you must
be on good terms with yourself.
Also it means that you have fath
omed the mystery of happiness in
every growing thing about you. A
man that is not on good terms with
the trees and flowers and birds and
houses and the scores of other gifts
of nature can never be upon good
terms with himself. For nature,
though silent in its expression, speaks
truths more wondrous than the ex
pressed truths of men.
To be thoroughly happy you must
be on good terms with everything
about you.
Did you ever look up into the sky
and nsk yourself whether or not yon
were on good termsflhvitli the stars,
with the planets—with th(» moon? And
during the day. with the clouds and
the marvelous sun that so greatly
affect your disposition, as these things
do affect the dispositions of every one?
To be thoroughly happy you must
make the wonderful truths and ex
pi'essions of nature your mental com
panions.
It is impossible for you to be upon
good terms with all people unless you
fall in alignment with their sympa
thies and with their viewpoints. It is
impossible for you to bring out the
best that is within unless you use as
a basic standing a perfect equality of
terms.—Toledo Times.
ANCIENT MEDICAL HUMOR.
Specimens From the Rome of Nearly
Twenty Centuries Ago.
That there was no lack of medical
humor in the classic days of Rome is
made sure by the ancient epigrams of
Martial of nearly 2.000 years ago. The
London Lancet shows that the poet
bore a grudge against the specialists
of his day, for it seems they had this
variety of practitioners then and pokes
fun at the oculists and at the surgeons
who indulged in clinical teaching. Of
the latter he has a patient complnin in
good Latin, and this complaint has
been made over into current English:
I lay ill, but soon Symmachus sought me
With a class of a hundred young men,
Whose hundred cold paws have brought
me
The fever X lacked till then.
The journal of the American Medi
cal association calling attention to the
medical ways of the ancient city notes
that diseases due to luxurious habits
had multiplied greatly In Rome. What
was called gout—that is, pains and
aches in joints and muscles and the
vague conditions that we now call
rheumatism—had also greatly increas
ed. Pliny, who was an older con
temporary of Martial, says, “Gout used
to be an extremely rare disease, not
in tbe times of our fathers and grand
fathers only, but even within my own.
memory.” Although the gouty were
usually rich and of luxurious habits,
some of them evidently were not good
pay. An evidence of this is thus given:
Diodorus, while he sues in court.
On gouty feet can stand,
But when the lawyer’s bill is brought
The gout sets fast his hand.
Masked Women.
Upper class Swaliili women wear
curious masks, which are made of
leather and beads on a wooden frame.
The mask is derived from the tradi
tional usage of Moslem women, who
must keep their faces covered in the
presence of men. For several cen
turies Arab traders have frequented
this east African coast, and to their
influence are due most of the civilized
customs found today among the na
tives of the district. The clothing
worn by these prosperous dames is of
silk, their shoes are partly of silver, and
they wear much silver jewelry. The
Moslems In Zanzibar, by the way, are
less fanatically strict about religious
usages than their brethren in Morocco
and Turkey.—Wide World Magazine.
“Bob” and "Cob” In Money.
Most people would know what was
meant by the term “bob” when speak
ing of money. But would they be able
to say offhand what a “cob” is or Was
in a similar connection? It was used
in polite circles In the seventeenth cen
tury, for it occurs in a letter from the
Earl of Essex—“So my wife gave her a
cob, for which she seemed very thank
ful”—printed in the new volume of the
“Camden" series, the editor of which
gives the Information that the cob was
“a piece of money the value of which
varied from 4 shillings tquis much as C
shillings in 1675.”—London Chronicle.
No Chance to Elope.
Girls In New Guinea have little
chance to run away. Their parents

the ladder Is removed and the slumber

fears of an elopement.

FATE OF THE RESOLUTE.
British Economy and the End of
Franklin’s Exploring Ship.
The story of how the brave little ex
ploring ship the Resolute was found by
an American vessel in Davis strait alt
er a thousand mile cruise from Mel
ville island without a soul on board is
easily the most captivating in the his
tory of arctic exploration. The Reso
lute. locked in the ice. was abandoned
on May 15, 1851, sorely against the will
of her captain by advice of the leader
of the Belcher-Franklin expedition.
The reappearance of the vessel on
Sept. 17 caused a great sensation, and
the United States brought the vessel
with great ceremony to Cowes in order
to present it to the queen of England.
The queen, the prince consort and
others of the royal family then at Os
borne House inspected the vessel,
which had been carefully repaired and
all the original furniture retained in
position down to the smallest trinkets.
The American skipper traced before
her majesty the thousand mile course
of the vessel and expressed his belief
that Sir John Franklin was still alive,
living among the Eskimos.
After many banquets the actual
transfer of the vessel took place on
Dec. 30, 185(5, when the American flag
was replaced by the British. And now
comes the tragedy. The admiralty had
no sooner come into the possession of |
the vessel than it proceeded to break
it up on the good old principle of pub
lic economy!—London Chronicle.
A TRAP FOR MARINERS.
Salmadina Bank, Off Colombia’s Coast,
Is a Perilous Shoal.
One of the most dangerous places for
navigation is the Salmadina hank,
which lies just outside the harbor of
Cartagena, Colombia. Many vessels
have come to grief on the treacherous
sands of Salmadina in the past, and
because of the impossibility of keeping
buoys on it the shoal is a constant
menace to ships plying those waters.
This dangerous bank is about four
miles long and two miles wide. There
is scarcely more than twelve feet of
water over It at any time. The sea
is usually smooth in that part of the
Caribbean, and unless there is ground
swell enough to cause waves to break
on the reef'there is nothing to warn
the navigator that he is approaching
this shallow spot. lie may have his
iead going and get plenty of water
one minute and be bang up on the
shoal the next.
The lighthouse people will probably
never be able to put buoys on Salma
dina that will stny there. They are in
variably carried away in the terrific
hurricanes that periodically sweep
these waters. So it seems as if Salma
dina was a bad spot put there for the
permanent worriment of shipmasters.
—New York Sun.
Penalties For Sabbath Breaking.
Sabbath breaking in Dundee was an
expensive business in former times, to
judge by the table of lines, etc., drawn
up by the local Cluild of Bonnetmakers
in 1003. For traveling or drinking in
a tavern on Sunday the fine was fixed
at 40 shillings for each offense. For
“hanging out bonnets, clothing or fish
to dry—penalty for bonnets, Os. Sd.:
for clothes. 4 shillings; for fish, 3 shil
lings. Carrying water from the well
or washing meat thereat in time of
sermon, penalty, 8 shillings; gathering
kail in time of sermon, penalty, 5 shil
ling* going to neighbors’ houses in
time of sermon without lawful excuse,
such as sickness, penalty for first
fault, 12 shillings, and for second
twice as much, with rebuke before the
craft, and for the third, summons be
fore the kirk session.”—London Chron
icle.
China’s Millions.
Any figures for tlie population of
China must necessarily be more or less
unreliable, inasmuch as the census man
is not much In evidence in the land of
the Celestials. The estimate, which is
probably somewhere near correct, is
402,700,000. As to whether the mil
lions of China will ever become thor
oughly modernized in the sense that
the Japanese are remains to be seen.
The Chinaman possesses plenty of
good sense and there seems to be no
valid reason why he should not some
time “catch on" to things and forge
ahead with the rest of the folks.—New
York Journal.
