Another PensI0ner.

A new pensloper has been added to the
rolls. HIS name is MeSique, and he is Il
mule. There is tradition in the army
that he hauled grub" for the army in
Mexico, and Gen. Sherman is not sure but
he performed the same service Tor General
jackson at New Orleans. The whole case
is detailed as follows IN an Oct q dis
patch from Washington:
Lieut.. w. a. Kobbe, Of the Third artil d
lery, who Is stationed at Mount Vernon
Barracks, AlN,, reported to the war depart
menr tina, there was at that post u white
mule named MeXlque, which has been for
many years in the service of the United
States, hut which at last had been ordered
sold. The officers of the post, Lieut.. kob-
be said, desired permission to purchase the
animal and keep and care for it at their
own expense, Major F. l.. Guenther, of
the Second artillery, to whom the petition
was referred, reported that the mule in
question was originally left at Key West
Barracks III 1913 by portion OF the army
returning from Mexico at the close of The
war He added:
During the time that | served at Key
West-from 1915 to 1SS0-the mule did
not miss days work from any cause. He
is very ole, and has been worn out by his
long service in the Quartermasters depart
ment. II there is any way OF providing
tor him | should be glad to have it done,
as the expense to the government would
be little or nothing"
The petition went through the regular
channels until 1t reached Quartermastcr-
General IIola6ird, who endorsed 1t as fol-
lows:
"To promote the sentiment OF kindness
toward ANIMALS that are so intimately as
ISOLATED with man, it is recommended IN
this special case that this mule be kept in
the department and left to the care OF those
whose kindly feelings are so deeply en-
listed IN It's behalf"
General Sherman submitted the case to
the Secretary of War, with the following
report;
81 have seen that mule; and whether
true or false, The soldiers believe it was
left at Big Spring, where Mount Vernon
Barracks are now, at the time General
Jackson's army campcd there, about 1871

but now 1t Is white from age. The Quar-

Southern Alaska.

Southern Alaska, rs it is called. 1om-
prises the narrow strip OF territory that
extends southwark from Mount st. Elias
to Dixon channel, the boundary line be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia.
This thirty-mle strip Of land, with its
outlying islands, is the best known part
of the territory, and, with the exception
of Onalaska and the Seal islands, is the
seat of the only white settlements Of
any consequence or promise. Dense for
ests clothe the islands and mainland of
Southern Alaska and "darken region
half rs large as Europe" Although the
rocky foundations are only covered with
a thin, sandy soil. vegetation tiourishes
with rankness that cannot be surpass-
ed in the tropics The close forests of
yellow cedar, Sitka and Douglass spruce,
Jeilrcys pine and balsam fir have never
been devastated by fires, and for un-
numbered ages only glaciers or ava
lanches have interfcred with the steady
processes of nature. The Russians
cleared y little ground about their set
Elements. but later inhabitants have
made no efforts in that way, since crops
cannot be raised with success, and there
are not enough horses or cattle for any
one to direct his attention to grasses
that cannot be cured in the constant
down-pour. The stumps of trees will
never rot in the ground, and the fallen
trunks in the forests form network
like the corners of rail fences, with each
log covered with thick MOSES and
grasses, and bearing dense growth of
rank ferns, bushes and small trees. 1t
is wholly impossible to penetrate the
forests without path first being hewn
through the thickly-ranged tree trunks,
and in the od-paths about Sitka one
frequently sees trees two and three feet
in diameter, growing over the PROSTATE
forms of pines of even greater dimen-
sions. If you step aside from the path
to force your way through the under
brush to reach clusters of crimson and
orange salmon berries, you may sud-
denly be engulfed, and sink two or ten
feet into pitfall of messy logs Only
the certainty that that there are no
snakes or creeping things in Alaska en-
courages one to venture aside from the
narrow and graveled paths that benei-
cent Russian rule caused to be made
about Sitka. Although there are but y
few natural clearings at the mouths Of
the streams, and grassy fields cleared
by the toll of the old serfs. no attempt
is made to raise or keep cattle, and the
milk of the three cows ut Sitka, is sold
at eighty cents quart. Without beef
or mutton, the people live on aroutine
s al, ,rI
quail-eater grows wearier of his daily
lluxuries than these Alaska citizens do
of their regular venison, salmon, and
halibut in steaks, roasts and curries.
Even the Indians know nothing of the
interior of Southern Alaska, and on ac-
count of the impenctrable forests not
one island has been wholly explored.
All travel is done by boats and canoes,
and the two sections of the territory are
as far apart for traveller us if on diff
