"a little 'cracky, | think" said the
canon, by way of parenthesis-who
had son whom she had christened
What" Her idea seems to have been
that when in after days he was asked
his name, and kept saying What"
amusing scenes would follow, which
was likely enough. especially If the
boy was careful to pronounce the
aspirate. Such a scene did, | believe.
occur once when he went to school.
and was told, as a newcomer, to stand
up and furnish certain particulars.
What is your name" asked the teach

the laughter of the class. What is
your name" askeu the master again.
with more emphasis. what" replied
the boy. Your name, sirr' roared
out the Infatuated pedagogue. "What,
What!' roared back the terrified urch-
in. The sequel l forget but | believe
it was one of those cases in which the
follies of the parents are visited on the
children of the first Observation-Disclosures
and Queries.

posing the Reorganization. Youth is
indscreet. If the textbook Of the aged
may be believed. But indiscretion is
frequently the beginning of new and
approved conventionalities. 1t is the
iconoclast that loosens the world from
its fetches. When it isn't reality, 1t
is a bogy and the raillery of men
against it need not deter any young
man from taking a turn at 1t if he con-
scientiously thinks the old men mis-
taken A thousand youthful indiscre-
tons in municipal and district govern
ment could scarcely be worse than the
thousand and ten mistakes which the
elders constantly are making. The
young men can do at least as much as
the older ones-and that is, they can
try.

The lines of diplomacy are running

boundary and the Behring Sea ques-
ton. The agreement which Ambassa.

whole boundary line, but only such a
part of 1t as is of present importance
TO canada and the United States. inst
as was the case in the other matter.
Ihat is to say, it applies only to the
villages and properties built up by the
increased activity of travel over the
passes leading from the sea to the Yu.
kon valley. This provisional agreement
which 1t is covenanted shall not be
exercised to prejudice the final loca.
ton of permanent line of demaGca.
tlon, was required to appease the
growing dissatisfaction of the army OF
settlers upon, and the traders and tray.
elerS who cross the ChilkoOt and
White Passes and move upon the Dal.
ton trail. The doubt as to locality
rests upon the contention of the Do
minion that the boundary line should
run ten marine leagues east from the
outermost fringe of islands that dot
the Alaskan coast. The United States
holds that the initiatory points of
measurement exist on the main land.
In the United States survey maps the
boundary line at the places named in
the mOdus vivendi passes in a sweep
ing curve around the head of Lynn
In L,
Ta.ya, Skaguay, Chilkoot and the vii.
lage of kluckwan. BY the provisional
delimitatlon the line will pass through
three specified points, the old Cana.
dian custom house on the White Pass
the present Canadian custom house on
ChilkoOt Pass and extend northward
to the Dalton trail just without the
village of Kluckwan. The real dispute
has been at what point the line should
cut the Dalton trail, because at the
other places the natural boundary is
fairly defined by the summit of the
water shed upon which the custom
houses have stood. But the present
agreement, which is operative only fol
two years, by which time the whole
question will be threshed out, practt
cally leaves the United States in pos.
session of all she claimed as being in.
cluded in the Russian purchase. The
Lynn Canal, as the estuary is called
which leads in from the sea to the
foot of the Chilkoot, remains in Alaska
with all its varied interest for fisheries
and commerce. and If some concession
has been made to the Dominion it Is OF
nature that is justified by the uncer
tainty of the boundary and the friend
ly and reciprocal interests of the two
countries which dispute it. Canada hat
not reached tide water, however
which was her dearest wish and
about which she has clamored SO per
sistently. Fortunately the settlement
of international disputes In which sh,
may engage does not rest with her
but must be made through the crown
ministers, who in this case have seer
how baseless the pretensions of th
! Dominion are.

PunnIng on a Fam0usT Line

The poet Campbell, the author of the
far-famed war poem "Hohenlinden,"
in which occurs the reference to "Iser
rolling rapidly" attended an evening
party on one occasion, and when the
gentlemen were securing their hats
and coats previous to departure sud-
denly the lights went out. In the con-
fusion which followed some one push.
ed vigorously against Campbell, knock
ing him downstairs. The offending gen.
tleman at once said: beg pardon,
who's there? and a voice replied from
the depths below, 1T is l, sir, rolling
rapidly"
