"While considering the restoration of the death penalty for the suppres sion of the all too prevalent crime of murder," says Mr. Pratt's letter, "why not also look to the passage of laws making the crime of highway rob bery punishable, if not by death, by the very maximum in severity that common law will permit. It seems to me that this menace is one of the least excusable, most exasperating and most intolerable of the crimes with which the public has to contend. "There is some call for leniency in the punishment of crimes committed in the heat of passion or under the pressure of certain conditions, but the 'hold-up' is always premeditated and absolutely without excuse."

Long Journey Along Alaskan River Is Made In Effort to Get Back to Home at Whitehorse. SEWARD, Dec. 15. (Special.) A nine-day trip on the Hootalinqua river in an open rowboat. in the face of vio-. lent winter winds and the constant menace of ice floes and the blocking of the stream, is not an agreeable prospect even for a seasoned hunter or trapper, and was extremely trying for Mrs. W. W. Dickenson, a culti vated woman of rather delicate con stitution, who recently came through that experience in trying to reach her home at Whitehorse. Mrs. Dickenson had been visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Copeland at Teslin Post, and fearing that the little steam er Thistle would not again be able to get Into Teslin Post on account of the ice, she decided against the pro tests of her friends to make the jour ney down the Hootalinqua in a small rowboat, having been told that she could get through in ten days. The only boat available proved so unwieldy that it was impossible for her to handle it in the swift cross currents that frequently occur in the Hootalinqua river, and so badly out of repair that it required almost con stant bailing to keep it afloat. Soon after she left the head of the river fierce winds set in and con tinued almost throughout her journey, which through unexpected adverse conditions lengthened out from two to nine days. Wet, bedraggled and exhausted at nightfall, she would make a camp under the limbs of a tree and resume her journey at day break. Fortunately, she had a small rifle and was able to procure an abundance of grouse, otherwise she What a piip she doesnt know Resinol Soap would improve her complexion Remarks like the above are passed about many girls whose appearance -would be most attractive were it not for a poor skin.
