COBB IS WORKING
FOR UJIINNELL
Some of the friends of Judge Wick
ersham are attempting to make cap
ital out of the fact that J. H. Cohb
sat upon the stage last Monday night
when the delegate addressed the peo
ple of Juneau. The claim has been
made Mr. Cobb is openly supporting
Judge Wickershams candidacy. A re
porter of the Juneau Empire asked
as to the facts, and Mr. Cobh said:
‘‘I sat upon the stage by invitation,
which I took as a personal courtesy
to me, and I was glad to show the
delegate every possible courtesy in
his visit to Juneau. In fact. Judge
Wickersham is a personal friend of
mine, whose esteem I appreciate and
value. But personal friendship and
social amenity is one thing, and poli
tics is another. I never scratched a
Democratic ticket in my life, and nev
er will. So far from supporting Judge
Wickersham, if the plans made at the
Skagway convention had been car
ried out I would now he stumping
the interior of Alaska for Mr, Bun
nell.
"No, I have helped frame every
platform of the party since I have
been in Alaska, Including the plat
form upon which Mr. Bunnell is now
running. I helped to organize the
Juneau Democratic Club, and con
tributed to its expenses, hoping to
get the rank and Ole of the party
together, and let them shape its poli
cies, so that the party would com
mand the support of the people at
the polls; and I advocated the nomi
nation not only of a candidate for
congress, but a straight Democratic
legislative ticket on a straight Demo
cratic platform, all of which was done.
“I did this, because 1 believe the
future of this territory, its ultimate
progress toward better laws, better
administered, and its economical de
velopment, so far as government can
contribute, lies in the principles of
Democracy.
' “I wear no man’s collar, but I will
support the Democratic party, and
vote for its nominees, both for con
gress and for the legislature, because
I believe that in its principles is to
be found the political ‘truth which
makes us free.’ ”
EVER SEE A PINK MONKEY?
This South American Brand le Worse
Than the Other Kind.
If you should ever happen to he wan
dering about the Choeo section of Co
lombia It would be well to have an
eye out for the sobbing monkey. If
this animal gets on your trail you
might as well ring down the curtain
and put a period after yourself.
When it gets after the Colombian In
dians, according to n. G. Spurred, nat
uralist and member of the London
School of Tropical Medicine, the Indian
listens to the beast’s soul withering
sobs for three days and three nights
and then commits suicide.
Mr. Spurred says that the sobbing
monkey is pink and Is one of the most
rare animals in South America. For
reasons that have never been made
clear the sobbing monkey will at cer
tain times In the year leave its home
in the most Impenetrable wilderness
and go to the nearest Indian encamp
ment, where It will select its victim
and follow him day and night, keeping
up a continual weeping and wailing.
According to tribal traditions this Is
a sure sign that the victim will shortly
be taken with the sleeping sickness or
some other fatal disease. It has been
customary for the natives to listen to
the monkey’s sobbing for three days
and three nights and then commit sui
cide, thus avoiding death by the dread
ed sickness.—New York Mall.
MIND AND HEALTH.
Physioal Conditions Often at the Mercy
of Mental Attitudes.
A scientist writes: “A woman fan
cied she had swallowed a frog and
was rapidly sinking. The efforts of
physicians failed to afford her relief.
It occurred to some one that she might
he deluded Into health. A tiny frog
was caught and put Into n tube with
which they were attempting to wash
out her stomach. When the frog was
thrown out of the tube the girl ex
pressed relief and said she hoped they
were satisfied her complaints had a
real foundation. In a short time she
was restored to health. Tills Is only
one of the Instances In which the mind
has affected the physical condition.
“No one doubts that persons have
been frightened to death, and ridicule
In statements of this kind should end
The Influence of the mind Is a subject
which calls for Investigation and study.
There Is no question that mental agita
tion aggravates. If It does not cause,
disease. Many a child droops and dies
because It fuels It Is unappreciated and
neglected. Many who survive drag
out a miserable existence Instead of
being full of hope anil Joy and energy,
promise and pleasure and making
themselves useful In the world.”—New
York ITcss.
A Lonesome Donkey.
One summer Mr. Onkes, nn eminent
lawyer, sent Ills wife ami young (laugh
ter to n farmhouse In the White moun
tains for a vacation. Shortly after he
received an urgent request from the
little girl to send her n pet donkey to
use while there. She hail read about
donkeys and heard about them, but
was not at all familiar with their pe
culiar vocalism.
The donkey nrrlved, and the child
had many rides around the vicinity.
She enjoyed It all hugely, except the
animal's strange noises, which Inspired
her with the profoumlest pity for Ills
evident distress.
One day after vainly trying to sub
due Ills vocalism she wrote a letter to
her father. In which she said:
"Dear Father—I do wish you would
come up here soon, my donkey Is so
very lonesome.”—Nationnl Monthly.
