Scott, who wm attached to the Bear for several years, has red hair. On one particular voyage freak haircuts were the style, for the fun of It. and the captain joined in by.having his hair trimmed to a scalp-lock, a la Sioux. The Beur came ro a good fishing ground for, snlmon and two of the officers made haste to rig out home-made fishing gear. But they could find no red, which is a necessary part of a salmon lure. You can guess the rest. The captain was scalped, so to speak, and many were the salmon landed. And the other officers berated him because he had but one , scalp-lock to five to hla country.

The mild and healing influence of Pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is noon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one ot the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so man$- applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications *re declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.

Theywere headed north, bent on the rescue of Greely's, Arctic expedition which had gone on up to Grinneil's Land in 1881 In the Proteus. Sometimes the ice was blown away by torpedoes. Again the staunch vessels were sent full speed into an ice floe. High up in the "crow's nest" on each vessel stood a lookout, anxiously searching for any sign of human life. On deck was a sledge, with provisions and medicines and dog team. A launch swung at the davits.' Nea ring Cape Sabine, a dilapidated and bellying tent was seen by the lookouts. The Bear sent a launch. A tottering figure in ragged furs raised the Flag--of red and white underwear and blue bunting.

Tho----v scene is too pitiable for description here. Men from the Bear and Thetis cared for the survivors, took the bodies of the dead aboard and returned to the United States in safety. The expedition had carried the Stars and Stripes "farthest north" --88 degrees and 23 minutes. But the rescue expeditions of 1882 and 1883 had somehow failed-- no need now to Inquire into the responsibility. Maj. Gen. A. W. Greely and Brigadier General Brainard, now the only two survivors, agree that had the Bear und Thetis arrived at Cupe Sabine 48 hours later only corpses would have been found. This is the Bear, the United States coast guard cutter that has lust made her- last voyage. That rescue voyage was her first under the American flag. She had been built at Greenock, Scotland, for the Arctic whaling trade. The Scotch, with Persona la distress cared for, 702. Vessels boarded for examination of papers, 21,- 8*3.

Of all this fleet of weather-beaten cuttert of tW ' coast guard the Bear is the oldest and the most famous. Fifty round trips has she made into the Arctic ice. Last fall when she came down from her forty-ninth battle with the ice, it was planned to take her out of the service. But Captain Cochran Contended that, tho gum whaler built In Greenock was good enough for one more voyage, to round out her fifty. So Commander Billard her off May 2 from the Golden Gate on her .•o.vage. •-- -- The Bear's fiftieth voyage came mighty near being her Inst. It looked for a time as if the Ice had finally got her, after half a century of battling. Half a dozen times in June the Bear was shut in by floes and the Fourth of July found her a thouaand miles north of Unalaska and barred from further progress in any direction. And so tlte radio told her to get out when she could and come home. But would she get home? That was the question. Her propellers were in danger of being stripped and even the Australian gum of her planks had been badly squeezed. Nevertheless, the Bear limped home to Nome the other day, Hucl: the worse for her battle with the ice, but With her flag flying and under her own power. ^ Without .the Bear the Alaskan coast from Sitka on the Pacific to Point Barrcw qn the Arctic will other peculiarities, have a passion for putting, ^ much like "Hamlet" with Hamlet out Take ships together so they will stay put. The Bear was rigged as a barkentine, in addition to her steam power. She was 1,700 tons. And her owners built her of Australian gum and put her together to fight ice. A And fighting Ice she has been ever since. Upon her return she was transferred to the revenue cutter service, now the coast guard, and assigned to duty on the coast of Alaska. This coast guard service is as full of romance and adventure as of hardships. It was formed in 1915 of the revenue cutter service (1790) and the life saving service (1848). It operates under the Treasury department In times of peace and under the Nuvy depurtinent in times of war, Its commandant is Rear Admiral William E. Reynolds. Commander Frederick C. Billard is aid to commandant. There are 235 active stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. There are 33 cruising cutters, 27 Inshore, putrol cutters, 25 harbor cutters and various other craft. There are about 400 warrant officers, 270 commissioned officers, and 3,50®; petty officers and enlisted men. A coast guard academy is maintained at New London, Conn., to which admission is by competitive examination. Apparently there Is no end to the duties of the coast guard. In addition to enforcement of the customs revenue law and thg quarantine law and the protection of seF.1 and other fisheries it is as busy as a boy scout doing a good turn to all who venture upon the waters. It extends medical aid, suppresses mutinies, keeps order during regattas, warns vessels of danger and buries bodies cast up by the sea. Here's summary of the 1922 operation,- v •• I>eii4ns rescued from peril, 2.9M. Persons on board vessels assisted, 14.531. ' i • look at the map and note the length of the Alaskan coast. Incidentally, do you realize that AJaska and the Aleutian islands, if superimposed on the United States in true n->rth-soutli position so as to cut the Canadian boundary line near the head of Lake Superior, would reach the Atlantic neur the Georgia-South Carolina line, cfoss the Mexican line in New Mexico and touch thfe Pacific in southern California? ' Well, along this great stretch of Alaskan coast for forty years the Bear has been guide, philosopher and friend. Each spring she has gone forth "to aid all peoples, to asBist commerce, to open lines of communication"--and to carry the mails to every settlement not reached by the Bering sea patrol. Often the Bear has been the law of the Frozen North, carrying an officer empowered to act as United States commissioner. > During these forty years nearly every veteran of the coast guard service has seen service. j>n the Bear and many are the yarns they tell--from *tl»e sublime to the ridiculous. In November of 1S97 President McKinley was notified that eight whaling vessels were fast, in the Ice near Point Barrow and that their crewa were near starvation. The Bear had just returned to winter quarters. But she headed north again --with volunteers for officers and crew--in command of Capt. Francis Tuttle. At Nelson island she landed three officers: Lieut. D. H. Jarvis, Lieut. E. D. Bertholf and Dr. S. J. Call. These three officers traveled by dog sled 1,500 miles to Point Barrow, arriving with a herd of 400 reindeer There they remained until the following June when the Bear jammed its way in through thp ice with" stores. That rescue approaches the sublime. Here is •tie that Is not far1 from * the ridiculous. Capt. them to death when night came o*. The next morning the captain was astounded to hear whu sounded like a hand organ. Finally he came up<> his three companions at the cabin of an Kskim reindeer herder. The Eskimo was playing e wheezy old accordion and the four were lustily singing Methodist missionary hymns in thank* giving that the night was over, since the hut wai so small that it could only shelter one at a time. They had Just started in on "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" "Here," said the captain, appearing from behind and Joining in with hit bass. Some of these days we shall all be eating reindeer steak from Alaska. And when you sit down to your first Juicy steak "Remember the Bear!" For the reindeer Industry in Alaska Is largely the result of the Bear's activities. It Is said that Capt. M. A. Healy made the first suggestion away back in 1890. Lieut. E. P. Bertholf, who was attached to the cutter, purchased a small herd In Siberia and the animals were brought across Beting strait. So the reindeer industry In Alaska today is the result of the original importations of 1,280 animals from Siberiu by the bureau of education during 11 years, beglntdng with 1892. These herds have increased to considerably more than 200,000 and probably 100,000 have been killed for nieat^ and skins. It is estimated that grazing areas in Alaska will support from 3,000,006 to 4,000,000 head. One of the hardest battles with the Ice in the long service of the Bear was In 1914, when the cutter made a dash to the rescue of a Canadian Arctic expedition which had been wrecked In the steamer Karluck near Wrangel island off the Siberian coast. There was stormy weather and thick fog and the ice was mountainous. The Bear kept up a seemingly hopeless tight until obliged to run back to Nome for coal. She then started back to renew the fight, only to meet the members of the expedition on a light-draft schooner that had succeeded in slipping through the ice and reaching the island. Incidentally this Wrangel island may cause international complications. It was,.via* Ited in 1881 by Hooper, who took possession in the name »of the United States. Canada claims It through Stefansson. And now the Soviet government of Russia asserts ownership and has sent out an armed expedition with orders to make all inhabitants prisoners, seize ail shipping and take possession. - _ . Congress was asked at the last session to make an appropriation for a new cutter to replace the Bear in the service of the Thirteenth district, which includes 19 stations In California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. The bill, howevA, was one of the mnny which was passed over in the hurry, confusion and filibuster of the last days of the session. Doubtless there will be a coast guard cruiser sailing out of Nome next spring. Doubtless a roast guard cruiser will as usual be sent through Bering strait "to aid all peoples, to assist commerce, to open lines of communication" and to de? liver the mall to out of the way settlements not reached by the Bering sea patrol. But this coast guard cruiser will not be the Uear. "llealy's puk oomiak"--Healy'a Fire Canoe --has made her last voyage. The ice couldn't crush her Scotch-built hull of Australian gum.

Was "Young" Only in Years' Lengths You cannot discuss San Francisco fairly until you realize that it strikes a great many people as being an old. not a new city; a sophisticated, civilised. complicated place. It doesvit, not by being old--for it is a Joke to call San Francisco old--but by having acquired trails and qualities that usually go with age. Hii^torles vary whether of towns or people. A man or a woman can have a "past," though he or she be- short of thirty. So can a city. It depends on how early the town began to live, and what sort of experience it packed into its salad days. They probably mean that blsr ory has been'speeded up in San Francisco ; that it has lived through cy'cles while Cleveland and Indianapolis-- both places with some fame of their own--have been moving more demurely toward their goal, Bays Harper'a. It took Utah more than forty years to become" a state of the Union. But consider a few Californlan dates. In 1840 the population of Yerba Bnena-- before 1835 it had neither name nor existence--numbered upward of 200. In 1847 it became San Francisco, and had about fifty houses. By 1849, they were framing a constitution for California, and accusing congress of delays. In 1850. they were electing a mayor and common council In San Francisco, instead of an alcalde and an ayuntamiento, and later in the year tliey were celehratipfc the admit* aion nf California' inj**'the Union. "Rime" and "Rhyme" "Rime" *8 the generally pre-, ferred spelling of this word. THe spelling "rhyme" does not seem to have, occurred until about the middle of the Sixteenth century. It probably arose from the false analogy between "rime'* and "rhythm."
