Winter i'm Alaska.

Doing the tourist act in the mid
winter season in Alaska is novel, says
the Alaska News. On the evening OF
Jan. 9Th the voyage was begun, and
the next morning daylight disclosed
the steamer anchored off Sidmore
island in Glacier Bay, and the air bit
ing, the atmosphere clear, and the
sun peeping over the hills to the east
ward. After heavy breakfast the
anchor was weighed. Steaming
against an icy cold wind from the
pinnacles of the glaciers, the vessels
bridge and deck were soon frosty.
Willoughby's Marble Drake and Stur-
CESS island held their position against
the wind as the steamer slipped by.
To the left Pacific inlet presented its
range Of mountains, snow-capped and
rugged, and at their base Pacific gla-
cier nestled, heap of tunlbled ice
At the head of the bay Muir glacier
reared its plateau of ice, clinging to
the sides Of the Fairweather range, as
if determined not to slide into the en-
croaching bay. The scene was wild,
and natures process of disintegration
seemed frozen into a dense rigidity,
and the works of her art seemed ar
rested by the frozen chill of tons upon
tons of ice.
Captain Carol headed for the wal,
of ice, passing Prof. John Muir's cabin
On the right until calm was entered
beneath the beetling crags of frozen
architecture. Coming up to the wall
of ice the steamer swerved and steam
ed up to within a stones throw of the
glacier alodg the entire frontage. At
times the vessel was within 70 feet of
It's walls, and the ripples from the
steamer gurgled into the cavern with
warning note. As one crag began
cracking the steamer was headed
further out, and then returned to her
former course. 1t is not often that
one has the opportunity to ride under
a wall of ice for a mile and witness
the ice hold together until the passage
is safely made. Captain Carol adj
mitted when at safe distance, that it
was the first time he had ever APP
preached the glacier so closely. The
walls were futed with pinnacles of
ice, rising in places from $50 to 200
feet from the water, and the frosted
surface contrasted superhly with the
sea green and heavenly blue tints of
the fractured ice. AS far as the eye
could discover the frozen river extend
ed back into the wild recesses of the
saw-toothed Fairweather range.

Wonder of Relationship.

In an old scrapbook which has been
in the family of the editor of 'Notes
for the Curious" for twenty-five OF
thirty years, and which contains a
number of clippings without date, l
find the following civilian Har-
man, who committed suicide a,
Tltusville, Pa, short time since, did
so because some one had convinced
him that he was his own grandfather.
Here is copy OF the sin gular letter
he left: i married widow who had
grown-up daughter My father
visited us often, fell in love with my
step-daughter and married her. Thus
he became my son-ih-law, and my
step-daughter became my mother.
because she was my fathers wife.
Soon after this my wife gave birth to
son, which, of course, was my
fathers brother in-iaw, and my uncle,
for he was the brother of my step
mother. Ny fathers wife also became
the mother of son. He was, of
course, my brother, and also my grand
child, for he was the son of my
daughter. Accordingly my wife was
my grandmother, because she was my
mothers mother. | was my wife's
husband and grandchild at one and

of a persons grandmother is his
grandfather, | was my own grandfather

Lowering the Bicycle, Records.

Speaking of bicycle matters yester-
day c. Bullock said that things were
getting very lively with wheelmen,
records were being broken almost every
day, and probably this would continue
for sometime yet. He says that John
sons mile record of 80 So has been
lowered to / "a LIS by w. J. Edwards
at San Jose, February 8. The quarter
has been brought to :25 flai by A. w.
Porter, who rode on the Springfield
track. On the 10Th of this month
Allen Jones brought the third
mile record down to 20 seconds at San
Jose. The two-mile competition re
cord is held by E. G Bald, who cover
ed the distance in Ala 1-5. away in

Food That Dries the Milk.

A good COW viii not be hurt ia her
milking by any OF the ordinary foods
In use, if given in moderation. But
there are COWS that rather turn their
food into milk, and such cows NAV be
dried by overlooking such food as corn
meal or other grain. Bran will not be
apt to dry COW under any circum-
stances, and thus it is "a far safer food
than meal for such COWS are ant ito
fatten when well fed. Every owner of
COWS should carefully test each one to
discover her character in this direction.
for it is very true that large porpor-
ton OF COWS kept do not pay for their
feeding, and, of course are not irritable.
More COWS of this inferior kind for
milk and butter will be commonly
found among the shorthorns.-Ger-

Frye's Foreign Policy.

Senator Frye has been interviewed
on foreign relations, and among other
things said
Il would not submit to any insult,
to any aggressions on our rights, to
any violation of the Monroe doctrine,
to any interference with Hawaii or
Samoa, so far as our interests are con-
cerned, or with our projecting the
Nicar aqua canal"
"What would be your policy as to
the future?"
~ would annex the Hawaiian
Islands at once, improve and fortlly
Pearl Harbor, lay cable from there
to the Pacific coast. | would main
tain our coaling station in Pago-Pago
against the world. / would reach out
to take whatever in our opinion was or
might be necessary to our future COM
mercial supremacy, being careful not
to violate the law of nations, and able
to Justify our conduct. If Spain, by
her actions at any time justified us in
so doing. | would seize and hold
Cuba against the world.
"This island has been nothing but a
sponge to be squeezed by Spain, utter
ly regardless of the interests OF the
PEOPLE living there. Annexed to our
country, it would soon become para
disc. As the residents are entirely fit
for American citizenship, l regard the
acquisition of Cuba as imperatively
demanded, commercially and political
ly. John Quincy Adams, secretary OF
state in 1923, said: at seems scarce
ly possible to resist the, conviction
that the annexation OF Cuba to our re-
public will be indispensable to the con-
tinuance and integrity Of the Union
ITSELF"
"I would accept Canada as soon as
she was ready to come to us and I
would not offer her inducements to
stay away, as this last Democratic con-
gress did. They made her a present
of million dollars annually as a
bonus to remain under the protection
of Great Britain, to nag, insult and
abuse lis. Even if England forced Us
into another declaration OF war I
would promptly sieze Canada and
make her forever part Of this repub
lic."

4 Bi.Metallic Dollar.

Detroit. April 2S.-The Tribune, Re
publican, will tomorrow publish an
editorial leader which will declare in
favor of the solution of the present
money questions by the creation Of a
new dollar, to be composed of porpor-
ticnate parts of gold and silver The
article quotes the declarations of the
Republican national platforms of 1888
and 1892, in favor of bi-metallism
and points out the dangers OF a prac-
teal silver recommendation through
the opening of the minis to unlimited
coinage. 1t calls upon the party to
fulfill its platform pledges by form
ulating without delay practical
scheme for bi-metallism. Continuing.
the paper advocates the composite
dollar as the measure easiest to effect
and with the least disturbance to
business OF any plan suggested. As
to the question whether the proposed
dollar would be available for export,
the Tribune replies ut would not be
necessary to export the coin while I'M
coined gold could be procured, which
would be just as available. II, at any
time, is became necessary 10 separate
the gold from the silver it could be
done at the United States minis at a
cost OF less that per cent This very
cost would be protection against the
expectation Of coin while uncoined
bullion was obtainablc"

APPLY THE REASONING TO DEBTS
President Cleveland reminds the
farmer, in his late manifesto favoring
a gold standard, under the specious
plea of support of "sound currency"
that he "must buy as well as SELL"
and that the "best prices which cheap
money proclaim are unsubstantial
and delusive," says the Olympia Stan
dard, (dem. The President very
probably loses sight of one thing many
farmers, as well others, have to "buy,"
whose price is nominally and actually
enhanced by recommendation, and that
is the mortgage on the farm, the debt
incurred while money was plentiful,
which now, by the change made In
the unit of monetary transaction. is
worth so much more than the value of
property that he is practically bank
rupt. This idea. at least, is neither
ssunsubstantial" nor "delusive,' as he
knows by the nights of anguish and
DAYS of mental torture, that he has
had to endure since the situation has
been gradually forced upon his atten-
ton by the resistless logic of events.
The common people of the land" as
the President .denominates this class,
have been aft orded far more instruc-
tive lesson by the drawing of these
tentacles, than sophistry can impart.
The lines may be drawn as he insists,
but not between "a safe currency and
silver monometallism," but between a
parity of gold and silver and the gold
standard.

Grand Rivers Herald.

We are pleased to announce in this
issue Judge T. j. Morrow, of Chris
tian county, as candidate for the Of
flee of Circuit Judge for the Bird Judi
cial district comprising the counties
of Christian, Galloway, Lyon and
Trigg. Judge Morrow is one of the
widely known and popular men in
Western Kentucky. He lived for
many years in Caldwell county and
practIced law there very successfully.
He moved to Christian county and
with the exception of five years while
he was engaged in the coal business
he has beena practicing attorney.
He was elected county Judge of Chris
tian and served with honor to himself
and profit to the county. Since the
end of his career as county Judge he
has been engaged in law practice.
He owns fine farm near Hopkinsville,
but short drive from his Hopkins
vile law Office. He is one of the most
popular men in Christian county, and
when the democrats desire to put
tnelr strongest man out they get
Judge Morrow and he always polls
not only the Democratic vote but gets
a generous number of votes from the
ranks of his political opponents. He
is man of fine character, unimpeach-
able integrity, unq uestioned honesty
and of great personal magnetism.
His strength in his home county
where he is best known is of sufficient
evidence as to his ability as an attor-
ney and high standing as citizen.
He is into the race worthy man and
a formidable opponent to the gentle
man from Galloway, who is the only
other candidate In the field. We
commend Judge Morrow as being
worthy of the high honor that he
seeks.
