iu:u (Hons iioni>ital. 'k jMf'l l? I ho >'lr?t of m Chain of .lurh Hospitals. The Post-Intelligencer of the 2nd con t tins a picture of w^jat it classes as the first hospital of Skaguay, the Red Cross Hospital, and a portrait of its founder. In connection therewith it states: Dr. Frank H. Booth is just nowjn the public eye as the founder and chief execu tive stay of the movement to build a chain of Red Cross hospitals throughout Alas ka. It was largely through his efforts that the present Red Cross hospital at Skaguay, notable as the first institution of its kind to he rented in the wilds of the Northwest, was established. Dr. Booth states confidently that before lojig the society will establish a complete chain of h??spitals from Seattle the southern ter minus to Circle City a tinv desolate speck of life within the dim borders of the Arc tic ring. Dr Booth is now on his way to Chica go. There he will join his family and to ?r her the\ will journey back across the bins through Seattle to resume the work of lo\r in tlkr northern fields of hai.\;hip, peri! and deprivation, building hospitals and nursing the sick, sheltering the help | le>v .inJ 111 istering in unseen ways to the life and health md cheer of the hardy seekers .uter gold, away in the barren reache> ?>t tlie ureat Northwest. I he chain or hospitals which Dr. Booth has set his h aid to building will take in on the w > Seattle, Victoria B. C. and the cities o. J.ateau, Skaguay, Lake Ben net.

"They're young now but they'll grow." "I fear vou misunderstand me. Of course vou have many estimable people whom posterity will naturally look back upon with respect." "Plenty of them." "But a nation that does not recognize an aristocracy cannot expect to produce peo ple who can boast of blue blood." "Is it a question of th e color of corpus cles, then? "Of course, that is figuratively speak ing." "Well, there is not the slightest occa sian to worry about that." "Certainly not. People cannot expect to miss what they never had." "And especially not if they don't need it and are in a fair way to get something better. Your blue blood, figuratively speaking is well enough now, but this is a progressive world, and you may depend upon it a time will come when people *11 over the globe will regard with particular respect anyone who can boast that he has red, white and blue blood in his veins. ,lm* SKAGUAY, July 5, i8q8.
