DOWN WITH HEHEKY
>Vith a companion, the venerable
voraan (Elizabeth Hooton. aged
seventy) was tied to a cart tail, and
ordered beaten through eleven
towns. Fearing interference from
the home government, the colony
had abandoned the public execu
tions of Quakers, but a journey oi'
eighty miles through winter snow,
haif-naked, with one hundred and
t^n lashes may be considered a pret
ty good substitute for the deatl:
sentence. Terribly bruised from the
beatings, the old woman was driven
beyond the colony boundary, ana
orce more left without food or shelt
er in the forest primeval.—Mary
Agnes Best, Rebel Saints, p. 252.
I’ZAT SO
They quarreled, and at last he
cried,
In accents of despair,
“ wish that I could see your side.’
The maiden shrieked as she replieq.
“That’s more than I can bare.”
Everyone is of some use—even
if nothing more than serving as a
horrible example.

All Hail! to the Flag of Alaska
W fh it’s field of a deep azure blue,
And it’s stars from the “great
constellation
That point to the ONE STAR that’s
true/’
For this Is what A. N. B. Brother#
Ever use as a guide to their home.
Where the Sisterhood waits t'oi
their coming
No matter how far they may roam.
From the whalers who brave the
Great North Wind,
To the Fishermen nearer our shore
The A. N. B. Sisters and Brothers,
Will worship this flag evermore.
We honor our A. N. B. Banner,
The flag of the NATIVES today;
It’s bringing them closer together,
Where truth, strength and justice
hold sway.
Three cheers! for the flags of
Alaska,
The red, white and blue, and the
gold;
Together they stand for great
freedom
To all who come under their folds.
FISHERMEN OUSTED BY RATS
The colony of fishermen at Cape
Mudge have been driven from their
old quarters by rats which have
swam ashore from the wreck of th;■
S. S. Northwestern when that Alas
kan steamer sank off the cape Iasi
fall. The rats have increased in surn
numbers that they made life so un
beat able for the fishermen that the
lanor pulled up their stakes and de
parted.
