Nothing Doing
**I told Percy that his wild wayi
were the talk of the town."
wYes, and then what?"
"I told him he had the reputation
of being the perfect lover—that he
had a way with women that was ir-
resistible."
"And?"
"That all the men envied him for
being the prince of lovers."
"And what else?"
"I told him that all the girls were
wild about him—they said his kisses
made them think they were in para-
dise."
"And then what did he do?"
"The dashed idiot just sat there
and denied everything I said!"—
Zlff's Magazine.

Weak Milk on Sabbath
English milk users find that the milk
they get on Sunday is not as rich as
the milk delivered on other days.
An investigation was conducted by
health authorities and it was found
that adulteration occurs more fre-
quently on Sunday than on any other
day.
The investigators were led to be-
lieve that the sale of milk must be
greater on this day than on any other
day of the week and dairymen are
tempted to increase the supply by
aading water.
The moral to this may be: Don't
di'i'nk milk on Sunday or adulterate
milk on week days so you'll not
Eutice the low quality of Sunday milk.

Skagway, Alaska.—Many tourists
from the States know Mrs. Harriet
Pullen of the famous Pullen house,
which is 1,500 miles as a plane flies
from Ketchikan, St the southeastern
tip of Alaska to Nome, out to the
northwest on Bering sea.
All over the world, wherever linger
those madmen and others who came
rushing to Alaska and the Klondike—
to the eastward, in Canada—for gold
in 1898 and 1899, Mrs. Pullen is loved.
A handful of women became famous
because they were able to stand be-
side the sprinkling of men in the un-
counted myriad of goldrushers who
were hard enough to conquer the
North—and of all that bright company
the men of the golden North count
Mrs. Pullen the brightest.
Young, comely, strong, Harriet Pul
len was daughter of a rancher on
Puget sound in Washington state. She
came to Alaska in 1898 with her four
children to go with her husband over
the Chilkoot trail or the equally ter-
rible White pass trail Into the Klon-
dike for gold.
Had $7 and Four Children.
She lost her husband. Camped on
the beach here she had $7—<and four
little children.
The rush was never so mad that
men did not eat, and the moth«r with
the four children and $7 went to cook-
ing. She cooked so well and withal
was so kind and helpful that those
thousands passing through here and
up the White pass trail or through
Dyea, four miles from Skagway, and
up the Chilkoot trail, called her the
Mother of the North. She prospered
and bought out old Cap Moore's board-
ing house in Skagway.
The boarding house she developed
into Pullen house, a 20-room modern
hotel, standing in a landscape garden
of several acres, split by a mountain
stream with an island and rustic
bridges. Canadians opening up their
country came with a railroad over
White pass—the White Horse & Yu-
kon.
The railroad still runs, and Mrs.
Pullen still prospers because the
whitehanded children cf the outside
come, taking this fast route to see the
sights of the North. Pullen house is
reputed to have entertained more dis-
tinguished guests than any other hos-
telry in the North.
Sent to West Point.
Mrs. Pullen's oldest son was Dnn.
He attended the University of Wash-
ington. which then had a preparatory
school, five years. President Koose-
velt gave him the first appointment
from Alaska to West Point. He be-
came all-American tackle, and gradu
ated among the first live cadets in his
class.
tnto the World war he went as a
colonel of engineers. He was pressed
into service as a tank commander.
With his squadron of tanks he took
a German position, but. infantry fol-
lowing him. failed to consolidate. To
hold the position, Pullen hastened
back afoot, reformed the infantry, led
them back and retook the position. He
died of sleeping sickness, attributed
to war service, two years ago.
Royal Pullen graduated from the
University of Washington, playing
guard, and was an officer in the World
war. Both broth; rs were cited for
gallantry, and General Pershing once
exclaimed: "I wish T had a regiment
of Pullens."
Mildred I'tillen graduated at a
nurses' school in New York city.
Chester Pullen. a student at the Uni-
versity of V: ashln- ton, was drowned
at. Ketchikan on his way back to the
Slates after a summer at home.

"T WAS in a very weakened,
run-down condition, surely
in need of a tonic and build-

Anna, Texas. "I was so weak
I had to go to bed, and kept
getting weaker.
"I suffered with my back so
much. I was very nervous,
couldn't rest good at night. I
couldn't eat anything—I just
wasn't hungry.
"I had read so much of
Cardui, I thought best to uso ;.
it. I took seven or eight bot- I'J
ties, and by the time I had
taken them I was stronger
than I had been in several '•*
years. I can highly recom-
mend Cardui."
Thousands of others have
found that the tonic effects of

ents of Cardui were just what

A
Note m Bottle Tells
of Gold in Canada
Norway, Maine. — Do the
bones of two human skeletons
stand as the gruesome monu-
ment to a great gold field?
Woodbury Husseli revolves
this question in his mind as he
plans trips in search of the yel-
low metal, lie has abandoned
interest in the search and gives
all the information he possesses
to the public.
His information is contained
in a note found, floating in a
tightly-corked bottle below the
falls at Clark City, on tbe St.
Margaret river, in Canada. The
note reads:
"Whoever finds this hottle,
there is gold and in plenty 25
miles above the falls. My chum,
Jack, is dead, and I am freez-
ing to death."
Russell, a contractor and
builder, went with his brother
and several other men to do con-
struction work at Clark City,
Canada. Here 1 hr-y found ;he
bottle, and made their first uir
