when the Funny MAN Is serious Hts
Audience Rcvolts.


fhe Washington CORES pondent OF the
New York Tribune writes that Private"
John Allen. Of Mississippi, is no longer
The funny man Of the house 81 reprcsen-
tatives. The speeches he has made at
this session Of congress have contained
no humor, but have been as serious as
a book Of statistics
Not very long ago Mr.. Allen was n can
didate for the United States senate He
made a brilliant canvass Of hts state. and
for four months delighted throngs 81
Mississlppians with his genial humor and
niulbie wit But when the time came
for the people OF Mississippi 10 make
known their wishes In regard TO the SEN
ntorship they elected n man not addicted
to humor. Defeat was a great disAp-
pointrnent 10 Mr. Allen, and. bearing in
mind the experience Of the once famous
Proctor Knott II Is said he has deter
mined 10 keen a curb upon his wit and
to speak most seriously when he feels
most humorous. funny speech which
attracted attention throughout the coun-
try IS reputed TO have been IN. undoing
OF Proctor Knott Ever since he delivered
his panegyric upon Duluth TWENTY-FIVE
years ago he has been struggling with
political adversely.
II is pity that SO genial and genuine
n humortst as Private" John Allen
should be transformed into a SERIOUS
person" Wit and humor should not dis
qualify man Of high station. A states
man can be useful and respected and
still crack Jokes on occasion. Abraham
Lincoln was not always serious. and 2eh-
ulon b. Vance was overwhelmingly fun
ny" when the spirit moved him.

The fact that men at Cape Nome are
actually going out upon the ice and min

We have all read of the triurnphS nf

OF these scientific ships once bring up "a

The so-called ledge Of the Alaska Tread

II is gold-bearing across a zone several
hundred feet in width.
The ore is what is known as low grade,

The first mill Of the Treadwen mine was
a five-stamp prospecting mill, buff By
John Treadwell, an old California miner.

in the following singular manner French
Pete who owned the claim. was running
a small store on Douglass Island near the
property, and after considerable diekering
John Treadwell made him the following
proposition: Treadweil proposed thar the
claim be conveyed to him GrreadwelD with

well should organize a company Gevelop
and work the ledge and buy all his grocer
