graceful. The receipts from her boot
backing parlors during the month Of
August aggregated nearly $1,000. Some
idea of the fame that Miss Hall has SO
strangely acquired can be gained from
the fact that for six weeks her mail
reached several hundred letters week
ly. These letters came from every
State in the Union. Some Of the writer's
congratulated her for her pluck, others
contained offers of financial aid and
free schooling, while not few were

Most Northerlv Theater.

The farthest north theater in the
world is undoubtedly that at Circle
City, Alaska. Circle City is S99 miles
north Of Juneau, which is the best
known Alaska town. The isolation Of
the region may be judged from the fact
that it cost Casey Moran, the manager,
81 postage to send the letter containing
picture and the facts about his COM
pany to Juneau on it's journey to the
Clipper Office. The Circle City theater
is variety house, with seven men and
six women in it's company of actors.
The price Of admission is $3.50, which
does not indicate so much the exalted
character of the entertainment as the
high schedule of prices for everything
which prevails at Circle City. The au-
diences are drawn for the most part
from the neighboring fields.-Atlanta

The tragic events following the as
sault ON President Diaz have excited
the amazement of the world. First the
assailant was barbarously murdered in
his cell. An investigation followed, I'M
der the stern supervision of the Presi-
dent himself. Two inspectors Of police
were arrested. One Of them, Velas-
queZ, confessed his crime, declared
that he had committed it out of pas
sionate loyalty to the President, and
then shot himself. The episode throws
a keen light on the methods Of Gen.
Diaz and on his position in Mexico. 1t
always has been a matter of wonder
that he should be able to hold in check
the hot-headed people of Mexico, and
while maintaining the appearance Of a
constitutional government, rule as alb
solutely as the Gar of Russia. Here
we have the secret-the personal loyal
ty Of his followers and his own rigid,
even fierce insistence on justice. 1t
was devotion to Diaz that led Eduardo
VelaSQuez to execute summary ven
geance on the anarchist, and it was
fear of the inevitable punishment that
would be meted out to him by his i'm
placable master that caused Velasquez
to Stay himself in his cell. We may
quarrel with President Diazs theories
of government, for they SAVIOR too
greatly Of the monarchical idea to be
palatable to the true republican. But
there can be no gainsaying the fact
that Porfirio Diaz is great ruler for
Mexico, and that scant justice has been
done his position among the statesmen
of our century by the historian Of cur
rent events.

A correspondent asks if we conside

A correspondent asks if we consider
self-esteem sinful. Bless your dear
heart, of course not. 1t is pretty safe
rule that the world will regard you at
your own estimate. If you sing a con-
slant song of self-depreciation you
must not feel aegrieved when the rest
of the world joins in the doleful chorus
Uriah Heep might have been an endur-
able creature il he had not been so per-
sistently and aggravatingly and con-
foundedly tumble. Humility may be a
virtue, but you do not want to force
it, castor oil-fashion, down the threats
Of your fellow beings. Garry yourself
erect, walk with firm and confident
step, hold up your head, give the peo-
pie on the other side Of the street the
impression that if there are any beings
in the world happier or more comforta-
bly, situated than yourself you have not
found them. Keep neat and clean. If
you have no silk dress try and look
stylish in bingham. Do not run down
at the heel. Be independent. Do not
expect others to place pennyworth of
value upon you If you do not esteem
yourself. 1t may be that nature has
been niggardly in dispensing talents in
your direction, but make the most of
even your limited possessions. Better
keep afoat by clinging to an old plank
than sink out of sight altogether. There
is difference between self-esteem and
an egotistical forwardness. The former
is proper and stimulating; the latter is
objectionable. A forward, pert, and OBJ
trusive manner in an otherwise pretty
maiden is like the unpleasant odor Of
the beautiful marigold or the shrill
scream Of the magnificent peacock.
This is entirely different from self-es-
TEEN, which is only another name for
self-respect, and if our correspondent
will but respect herself she will find no
difficulty in winning respect from
others

white royal palace from which she
hopes some day to GUST Oscar Ii. She
has gone to Sweden's capital armed
with bundles of documentary evidence
and backed by a formidable array OF
legal talent, and she is prepared to stay
there until she can persuade the Swe-

cause he embroiled the nation in too
many foreign wars. Miss White thinks
that she could give better sample Of
ruling than her unfortunate ancestor.

A Drummer's Mistake.

The Kennebec Journal tells of Ban
gor drummer who tried to save a
lady from leaping from a rapidly NOV
ing train. After he had thrown his
arms around her and dragged her back
into the car she recovered from her
surprise enough to call him all the
names in the feminine vocabulary and
explain that she went out on the plat
form to wave her handkerchief at some
friends. The passengers appreciated
1t all, but the drummer didn't seem
to enjoy the situation.

There has been some apprehension as
to the possibility Of American interests
being more or less jeopardized in pos
sible competition with japanese pro-
ducts. Cheap labor furnished what ap-
peared to be q sound reason for some
such anxiety. 1t seems, however, that
values have risen rapidly in Japan, and
the added cost of living has had it's eff
feet on wages. This certainly qualities
the situation considerably. If this lift
Ing process continues, as it is likely to
do, the margin for competition will mar
row, and the scare about Oriental cheap
labor will be found to be more smoke
than fire.

sents the depth Of water in which it
would be safe for the vessel to venture.
Most large ocean steamers draw thirty
feet. When the wires enter the cylin-
der they are separated. They run into
the cylinder separately and terminate
within only a short distance of the sur
face of the quicksilver.
If the water is deep enough the cylin-
der will simply hang to the end Of the
line. If the water is too shallow, how
ever, the cylinder will tumble over on
the bottom, for the end Of it is round
ed. The mercury, which the cylinder
contains, will then rush about the ends
of the wires, complete a metallic cur
rent and cause the ringing Of a bell on
board ship, with which the wires are
connected.
AS soon as the cylinder sinks the
man in charge of the apparatus pro-
ceeds to draw in the line. If he hears
no warning bell he may be sure that
the course is entirely clear. The YES
sci may then proceed for the distance
to which the line has been cast. II

for that distance. He may then pro-
coed. When the vessel has gone half
the course he may discharge another
cylinder. When he has reached the
end of the course which the first cylin-
der has told him was safe he will have
determined the nature of the channel
for the next 1000 feet.
