genius. There is. indeed. less that is esoteric
about Donatello than about almost any other
great sculptor of his century. He is the great
master Of human emotion in the Plastic art Of
that time less suave, less delicate than Mino for
example, and with less force than VerrocchiO,
but the superior Of both in a certain natural,
ccmpanionable vein. IF there was not such
rare and gracious beauty in his work should
be inclined to say that he executed the prose Of
sculpture where Mino executed its poetry Yer
rocchio its drama. But he was too blithe, too

REWARD OF MERIT.

Everyone will be pleased to read ths, the citizens of Juneau recognized the faith fal services of Mir. Price. as the repreSen- tatIve of Alaska at Washington. bv the presentation to him of handsome gold watch and chain. There would also have been a complimentary banquet had time permitted. h fact. Juneau was planning banoust before the Skagwdv chamber of eomnietce took action In the matter. While it Is said that a generous gift hon. ofs the giver, yet the people of Skagway will also take pride in this recognition. hf. Price did faithfully represent all Alas ka. but he chanced to belong to this city. The gift of Juneau shows there Is no sec tional feeling. Furthermore, t developed in the proceedings that many of the lead ing men present are in favor of a teritor- lal form of government.
 So that on social. political. mercantile. and all other lines, the interests of the port of Juneau and the port of Skagwav are joined, and at the two political conven- ,ionS to be held at Juneau it now seems probable that the delegates to the national conventions will both cary the same in- StructlonS, and tha, those will be for the highest interests of Alaska. There may possibly be no difference of opinion there's alter between the two cities as to what Alaskan needs really are.

CHEERING NEWS.

The Washington dispatches printed In the newspapers recently as to the progress of Alaska legislation before congress have been somewhat diScouraglng. but Mr. Price received a private letter from Wash InYton yestenday which Is reaSSuring. lt states that the Carter bllI Is nov sure to 70 through and that the capital Is sure to be moved to Juneau.
 This will give us a municipal law and fifty per cent. of the taxes collected to be expended for educational purposes. And thls appropriation Is not to be controlled by Brady. Shellgame Jackson and others, but by a school board elected bv the citl- zens Of Skagwav. There are so many who have the fear that these funds would be handied by Brady, and therefore prinei- palN devoted to Indian education, that herewith is given the sections of the olll referring to this matter:
 "See. zI4. In addition to the officers heretofore provided by this act, there shall be elected a school board of three diree- tors, who shall have the exclusive super vision. management and control of the public schools and school property within Said corporation, and shall be elected in the same manner and for the same term as the council.
 "Sec. 7IS. The treasurer of the corpor- atlon shall be ex o1iciO treasurer of the sShool board. and shall, before entering upon the duties of his office, take the oath prescribed by law and execute bondS to the corporation h an amount to be determined bv the judge oi the district court, whlch bond shah be approved by the council and the judge of the district court and filed ln the ofice of the recorder of the corpora tion, and he shall give Such additional bond as the council or judge Of the district court may from time 10 time direct, but in no event shall such bonds be less than twice the amount of money in the hands of the treasurer at any one time, 10 De de termined by the tax rolls and license books Of the corporation. of the corporation clerk and the clerk of the district court;

 The Fifth boys bring homo some jolly stories, stories that can be laughed at now, however serious thoy may have appeared at the. time.
 At FornAndina one week the ration supply ran low. There was talk Of nov. jne the camp. Part of tho equipagP had been taken away. PArt of.it was packed m. The kitchen department was boxed and hauled to the nearest railway sta tion. Bat the boys still fingered, wait ine for tho orders that didn't come.
 Pretty soon everything edible had vanished except some canned salmon and hard tack. So tho boys ate canned salmon and hard tack for hreakfast, ditto dinner, ditto supper Canned salmon is delicious aetimes, but it can be abused, Canped salmon three times day approaches tho character of a uauseatin5 drug.
 There was canned salmon and hard tack for breakfast next morning. Eard tack for everybody, and canned salmon for those who enjoyed it.
 One of the boys declared he was get ting pink around the gills
 For dinner there was hard tack and canned salmon.
 Along in the middle of the afternoon a smart young orderly prauced up and asked for detail to go. after supplies.
 It didn't take long to hustle 'em of with the camp wagon. Then the hungry men sat around and made bets on tho sort of food that was, coming. They smacked their lips and smiled in pleased anticipation. There was nothing men toned that didn't seem heavenly i'm proyement on that internal salmon.
 Pretty soon the wagon came in sight As it got Q little nearer the eager eyes could discern the boxes that were piled within it.
 Steadily 1t approached and finally with a sharp whip crack halted in front of the commissary headquarters. A crowd of wild eyed men listened with bated breath as the young orderly came to the front.
 Supplies from the station," he briskly announced. -Four boxes of English shoe backing"
 And that was all.
 They had hard tack for supper that night.
 Nobody touched the salmon.-Cle'e- land Plain Dealer

the Ming dynasty and drove them
from the throne.
1t is an interesting coincidence
thut Ping TOR the "Prince of
Peoce," as he is known in Chi
ninese poetry-one of the most
famous of the Ming emperors, was
on the throne at the beginning of
the Christian era, when another
man who bore the same title Wi Q
born in Bethlehem. Ming III,
his son and successor, introduced
Buddhism into China and sent to
India for the sacred books and
teachers to expound them. Anti
quarians say that Ming,Ti was
prompted to do this because of
reports that had reached him of
the advent of Christ. The news
was indefinite and came by car
avans across the whole of Asia.
When the emperor began his in
vestigation the clews led to India
instead of to Palestine.
To reach the Ming tombs it is
necessary to cross that most
wonderful piece of engineering,
the great wall, which runs from
the seashore 1900 miles to the
desert wastes Of Turkestan. 1t
was built 205 years before Christ
and still remains in excellent
condition, 25 to 35 feet thick of
brick, riveted outside and in
with cut granite masonry. 1t is
surmounted by parapet pierced
with openings for the defenders
to fire through. The top of the
wall is paved with tiles a foot
square. Every 800 or 400 feet
there is thanking turret 40 feet
higher than the wall and pro-
jecting so that one can see in
both directions. In each turret is
a circular stone stairway leading
from the ground. The gates are
imposing structures, surmounted
by castles which were used as
barracks for the troops. The walls
climbs the rugged mountain side,
descends ravins and gorges and
rises again to cross rivers and
valleys and plains, but it did not
serve its purpose. 1t was intend
ed to keep the Mongol hordes out
of China, but they entered, over
threw the Ming dynasty and are
ruling the empire today.

1T WAS JUST THAT WAY.

1t is hardly worth while now
to be counting the chickens that
might have been hatched if the
eggs had been sound and pro-
perly nested. The Democratic
party was routed "horse, foot
and dragoon," and it would not
have been much better had any
other leader led and any other
platform of principles been
adopted. The republicans had
the advantage of being far
ahead at the start and was fully
equipped with the "sinews of
