Catulle Mendes, the famous French

relates, with intense difficulty, not
knowing what he is going to say or
how to begin. The necessity of writing
a few lines about play after the per-

cradle the whole evening. The older he
gets the more difficult becomes his
work. He will sometimes spend an
hour in his study before being able to
find word upon his subject.

Mr.. John C. Motter, the Associate
Judge-elect of the Sixth Judicial Cir
cult, will assume the duties incumbent
upon him as soon as his commission
arrives from the Governor. The retiring
judge, Hon. John A. Lynch. has made
an impartial and honest jurist and his
many friends regret that Father Time
has let the grains in the hour glass slip
through so rapidly. His record of thirty
years on the bench in this district has
been most enviable one and Judge
Lynch may feel gratified in noting the
appreciation of the public for duties
well done. Mr.. Motter brings with
him to this honored position many ex-
cellent qualifications and his long ex-
perience in criminal and equity prac-
tice should be of great service to him
as a Judge.

IRONICAL IFS.

If there is nothing in man oppor-

If beauty was taxable there would be
no delinquents among the fair sex.
If women are ever elected to congress
there will be more than one speaker of
the house.
If some men had to work in order to
obtain living they wouldn't live very
long.
If your wife had it to do over again
the chances are she would never marry
you.
If there was anything in a name we
might plant bird seed and expect to har-
vest crop of birds.
If the shoe fits wear it-unless you
are woman, then, of course, you will

WHEN Congress meets in session on
the fist Monday in December the
prospect is for a general assault all
along the line of the national senti-
ment and policy which Gar Reed sup
pressed by his despotic rulings during
the extra session. Many vital issues
must come up for consideration and
action, among which will be our duty
to the Cuban Republic, the Nicaragua
Canal, the annexation of Hawaii, the
question of the British boundary in
Alaska, and the Behring sea seal fish
cries. These are all international mat
tiers. In addition to them there will
be the FRACTIONAL topics ofinternal econ
omy. For instance the conduct of the
administration in completing the deal
made with the Union Pacific "reorgan-
izing committee" will be something for
earnest discussion and investigation,
and the conspiracy final y to wreck the
money of the constitution, which Car
Isle inaugurated and his very fit and
appropriate successor, Gage, is attempt
ing to carry into execution. From the
prt sent indications the great battles of
the coming session will be fought on
international lines, and it will be ses-
sion full of interest to every true Ameri-
can patriot.

1t has been calculated by Robert Ball

The winter of Sitka is milder than

On st. Paul island. A large salt lagoon
is surrounded on three sides by the
rocky coast. The arm reaching into

feet under water. fence must also
be built around the lagoon on land, as
seals travel as readily on land as In
water. They eat any fish they can cap

many kinds of sea fish. but when the
seals increase in size and numbers the
men will be kept busy gathering food

experiment will prove more profitable
than gold mine.
