What the Alaska natives art doing and are willing to do a* pi oof posi tive of their fltneaa to live under the Star* and Stripe* ia impr<fKKod on nil who come in contact wlih the natives and their numerouH '.ictivltles along lnu'H of advanced citizenship and pa triot Ikiu. Hj way of u minor Illustration that shows which way the wind blown with them: The nativea in Juneau, through tin* preaa, advocated the killing of doK?. that there uught he more food for human consumption. They ad vised their native frlenda to protect the de.-r from their dogs that might kill oeor during their belploas con dition following thiH last winter'* deep ((flows, when many starved and all were weakened foi lack of food. Court at Kake the natives have only about one-third to one-quarter the number <?f dogs that they had last year. One who went through the Tillage la*t fall and again this spring remarked on the fact that there were almost tio dogs In town. "Yes," said a representative citi zen, "the natlvea became convlucod that from a sanitary standpoint and an economical standpoint they were keeping too many pets. As a result of this conviction they began reducing on dogs and improving on health and food supply." Another point that Impresses even a casual observer la that the native* all take local newspapers and read carefully ? often very slowly ? the evonta that are taking place locally and throughout the >vorld. If a native Is not a regular aubacrlber to a news paper, you may be sure It Is because he cannot read one word of Kngllsh or any other printed language. OUR CAPTURED FLAGS ABROAD Emblems Taken During the War of 1812 Are Safely Preserved In . London. A recent walk through Chelsea brought me to several places of Inter est to Americans. Firstly, the old Roy al hospital, built In the reign oT King Charles II, the ?rent hall of which is now used as a recreation room for the old pensioners ami from whose walls a number of flags captured dur ing the 1811M81T> war are suspended. The colors hang sedately side by side with Napoleonic eagles and other war trophies, and if it were not for the records It would be almost Im possible to discern their story. Among them are flags of the Sixty-eighth and EiKhty-flfth regiments captured at Blundensberg ; the Kentucky regimen tal flng. the Fourth regiment of United States Infantry, taken at Detroit; the Second regiment of the United States Infantry and another taken at Queens town Heights. ? I wonder how many Americans know of their existence. It would cer tainly be a graceful act of the British government to return them to Amer ica. No doubt the American author ities have some similar trophies which they would be pleased to exchange. ? London Landmark. Assists Visits to Graves.

Life One Leap Year After Another. Theie exists at least one place In the world where men consider It below their dignity to notice women at all, much less make overtures of marriage. Consequently the proposing is left to the women. When a New Guinea wom an falls In Jove with a man she sends a piece of string to his sister, or, if he has no sister, to his mother or to another of his lady relatives. Then the lady who receives the strinj; tells the favored man that the particular wom an is In love with ' him. No courting follows, however, for it is considered heneath the dignity of a New Guinea man to waste his time in such a pur suit. If the man thinks that he would | j like to wed the lady, he meets her alone, and they decide whether to niar ; ry or drop the idea. Albanians Glad of Pajamas.

R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N. G The Wonders of America By T. T. MAXEY THE BIG TREES IN CALIFORNIA. THE biggest trees In the world are found In California. They are of two varieties, both a species of ever green, sequoia (in honor of a Cherokee Indian) redwood and sequoia glgentla. The former grown quite extensively In certain sections on the western slop# of the. coast range; the latter only on the western slope of the Sierra Ne vada mountains, at an elevation of about one mile above sea level. The former is said to reproduce Itself from the stump, the other from little seeds J which grow In pods. The best-known and most-frequently- j visited grove of the redwood sequoias , is near the little city of Santa Cruz, on the coast some seventy miles south of San Franclsro. . Some of these trees are more than 2.r)0 feet high and 20 feet In diameter at the base. The glgentla, however, Is the real thing in big trees. Some are almost 400 feet high and 90 feet around at the blase. The bark Is of a reddish brown color, very thick and fluted up and down. The branches are very large, begin ning 60 f*et or more from the ground. The secret of their nge is still one of the unexplained problems of the universe. Estimates range all the way from 4,000 to 10,000 years. But sup pose It Is only the former. Think of living a million and a half of days! Think of the changes which hare been wrought In that time! That they are the tallast, stateliest and oldest living things In all this big world W ourt la an undisputed fact. CANE KILLS COWS Throe Die From Eating Second Growth Near Rock Hill. That srcoinl growth sugar cane is deadly in>ison for cows is a fact that is probably not well knowu. three cows in this comfnunity having died yesterday as a result of being allowed to feed in fields from which the first growth of cane was recently cut. The shoots are poison, state veterinarians, so all farm ers are advised to be careful about al lowing livestock to grase in canefield*. .1. It. Mickle, of Rbenezer, lost a fine cow yesterday afternoon, the animal be injf allowed it) the field but a few min utes. The veterinarian stated the cane shoots caused death, although heroic measures were taken tv> cause the bovine to throw off the poison. Two other cows died suddenly yesterday, and the owners stated they had been permitted to graze in rane ? fields. Air. Mickle requested that 'the fact be placed before the farmers as he felt only a small number were familiar with the deadly character of the oane shoots. ? The State. At the Opera House ?>n Nov.
