Consul McCook Sustained.

The State Department having had some
correspondence recently with United States
Consul James McCook at Dawson City, N.
w. T., regarding newspaper charges against
him of improper and undignified conduct
has dismissed the case. The investigation
satisfied the officials that the consul, while
perhaps indiscreet in the instance COM
planned of, had suffered to some extent
from persecution on account of proper Off
cial acts on his part, and in view of the
fact that the same strict code of social
ethics which obtains in older communities
cannot reasonably be expected to prevail
in Dawson, the action above indicated was
taken.

Patriotism.
From the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine
There are two distinct forms of patriot
ism, probably never before clearly defined
and differentiated than among the people
of the United States as they stand relative
ly at present.
One man shouts on the Fourth of July:
"Hurrah, Hurrah for the stars and stripes
that can do no wrong!' The other man
makes less noise, but in his heart he vows
that the stars and stripes shall do no
wrong.
The main point for congratulation is that
no matter upon which side of public opin-
ion an American may stand. he is always
more deeply patriotic than he appears to
be. The poppycock American spreading
the eagle ad nauseum in times of tranquil
lily folds his wings and proceeds to the
legitimate business of protecting the stars
and stripes with his own life, II need be.

blew large tree across the L. and N

the track for about an hour. The tree also
broke down the telegraph wires for 200
yards Chief Train Dispatcher H. H. Han
cock went out on a freight to the scene to
see about the accident and took the Paris
end of the wire and sent message to the
Paris office by merely tapping on the steel
rails with the broken wire. The message
came very family, but it was correctly
taken by Dispatcher Bower, who was on
duty. This is the first message of the kind
that has ever come under the notice of A
c. Adair, who has been telegraphing for
twenty years, ana Dispatcher Hancock,
