A St. Joseph Countyite in Alaska. The South Bend Tribune says: “Mrs Rebekah Wilklow, formerly a teacher in the South Bend high school, and a well known Mishawaka lady, is now a temporary resident of Alaska where she is regaining her health and teaching an Indian school. She is at. Point Chester, Annette Island, and writes to Miss Katie Merrifield that Alaska is not the bleak and barren country that most people supposed it was when Seward bought it. At Port Chester all last winter the lowest the mercury went was 11 degrees below freezing, or 21 above zero. As the mercury in South Bend was several times 12 below zero, it will be seen that it was 33 degrees warmer at Port Chester than here. During the last summer the highest temperature in Port Chester was 70 degrees in the shade which was 28 degrees cooler than here. Much derided Alaska has a more equal climate than Indiana. Mrs. Wilklow says small fruits are grown there in abundance but the soil at Port Chester is similar to our marsh lands and sand has to be mixed with it.”

The different towns and cities in

Indiana are being overrun by a set of men urging mothers to insure the IL es of their little darlings. We know nothing about the reliability of the companies, but the system and scheme is an outrage and a curse and should not be tolerated in this enlightened age. It is even worse than the deathbed insurance that flourished in our country a few years ago. A weather prophet notes that snipes have gone south later than usual, that woodcock are still moulting, rattle snakes are yet crawling over the huckle berry bushes, that coons are as poor as a crow. These he says are infallible signs of a mild, warm winter. IN hen a coon is poor in the latter part of September, it means that he does not intend to take his customary long nap > through the winter months, but that - he expects to be able to skin around 5 as usual and gather his daily provendt er as he needs it. The coon is an in--1 telligent animal and does not waste his energies in gathering up stores of fat when unnecessary.
