AUTOPSY ON GIRL’S
BODY
The latter part of March the (mayor
and members of the city council of
Kake brought to Petersburg the body
of Anna Thompson, a nine-year-old
native girl of that place, in order
that Dr. R. N. Rogers might hold
an autopsy and determine whether
the girl had died of poison.
It was claimed by the Kake native
officials that one Terhune, an em
ployee of the U. S. Biological Survey,
had put out poison around Kake to
kill dogs, on the assumption that they
had been chasing deer, and that the
girl had eaten some snow where some
of the poison was put out.
It is claimed that several dogs and
sea gulls and crows died from eating
the poison.
It is said the government nurse at
Kake claimed the girl showed all the
symptoms of having been poisoned.
After holding the autopsy, Dr. Rogers
declared that “there was strong in
dication that the girl had died as the
result of poison.”
This week U. S. Commissioner C.
Clausen sunynoned a coroner’s jury
that viewed the remains of the girl
and then adjourned until the result
of a further laboratory test can be
had.
Dr- Rogers is sending the kidneys
and stomach of the girl to a labora
tory outside to be designated by the
district attorney for a further test.

A JEW’S CONCEPTION OF A
GOOD CITIZEN
Lord, who shall abide in thy taber
nacle? who shall dwell in thy holy
hill?
He that walketh uprightly, an 1
worketh righteousness, and speaket i
the truth in his heart.
He that backbiteth not with his
tongue, nor doeth evil to his neigh
bor, nor taketh up a reproach against
his neighbor.
In whose eyes a vile person is co i
ternned; but he honoreth them that
fear the Lord. He that sweareth to
his own hurt, and changeth not.
He that putteth not out his money
to usury, nor taketh reward against
the innocent- He that doeth these
things shall never be moved. Ps. 15.

WILLING TO ADVISE
The customer had waited half an
hour for the fish he had ordered. At
last the waiter appeared.
“Your fish will be here in five min
utes,” he said.
Another quarter of an hour passed,
and then the customer summoned the
waiter. “Say,” he inquired, “what
kind of bait are you using?”—The

THREE FOOLISH PEOPLE
There was a business man who failed
To win the longed for prize
Or riches and prosperity—
He did not ADVERTISE.
There was a lover once who died,
Quite wrtched I suppose,
Because he didn’t know enough—
Too bashful to propose.
There was another man whose ways
His neighbors greatly pained,
Because he didn’t know enough
To go in when it rained.
All three were foolish; but worst of
all
In everybody’s eyes
Was he who was a business man
And didn’t ADVERTISE.
