O. nnllitiKur. arrived here from tlio north, lmvInR on hoard thlity-neven refugees from Nome, who were landed nt Seattle. Captain HnllliiKpr heforo leaving Noino took all the Eskimos from that city and vicinity to their homes, so that they would not he a burden on the community during the winter. That the Hear rendered valuable serv ice to Nome after the storm Is evi denced by a vote of thanks passed by the city council to Cnptnln Unilinear and his officers. This Is the third cruise Captain Hal linger has made on the Benr ns master to Point Harrow. The two previous voyages the passage was free from Ice. but on this trip it wns with diffi culty that ho succeeded In reaching the top of the continent. The Hear sailed from Point Harrow on Aug.

The Hear Is the only vessel which went Into thu arctic this year that wim nble to get out, flhe made many trips to the relief of vessels In distress, most of them being small craft Cnptaln Halllager expresses the be lief that all the vessels caught In the ice .are safe and those on board can reach native villages. The Hear after a stop at Seattle will proceed lo San Krnnclsco. OWES LIFE TO CHEAP PANTS. Caught In Machinery, Trousers Give Way Under the Strain. Chester. S. D.

Do Quincey's greatest extravagance jrew out of the morbid vnluo he set upon papers and their not being (lis turned. Ho was In the habit of accu initiating theso until, In his own words, ho was "snowed up." which .lieant that when matters reached such an extremity that thcro was not s nnuaro Inch of room on tho table to set a cup upon and no possibility of making his bed for the weight of pa pers gathered there; no chair which could ho used for Its legitimate pur pose, and the track from the door to the fireplace, always kept open until the last, was completely obliterated so that ho had not even placo In which to set his foot then Do Qulncey lock ed the door upon his paper treasures and turned elsewhere. At his denth there were nt least a half dozen such places "papered" by him and being maintained at no small expense. Such a thing had been experienced ns his nctually "papering" his family out of house, but In later years his daughters learned how to guard against such n contingency. Do Qirincey usually spent the even ings with his family, who looked for ward to these hours with much pleas ure. Upon the arrival of tho newspa per he would render tho news In his own quaint manner, questioning tiio various members of tho group about him and Illuminating the vnrlous sub jects touched upon with a wealth of memories, good stories or tinman or perlences until tho happiest flow of real conversation sprang from tho cir cumstances of the moment. IIo was not a trnnqulllzInF .'ompan Ion for nervous persons to live with, ns those nights wero the exceptions on which ho did not set flro to something. It wns n common occurrence for ouo of his daughters to look up from her work and to say casually, "Papa, your hair is on flro!" to which ho would re spond cnsnnll "Is It, my love?" and a band rubbing out tho hlnzo wan all the uotlco taken.

Often be fore a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, lie is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good con dition, as the nerves arc the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Uosa Homier. 825 N. 18th St., Hirming liain, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nerv ous prostr.iflon for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best doctors in llirmiugliam, but they all failed to reach my r.'se. I would feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take It. I continued to take it for some lime and now I am well."
