Seeks Legislative Honors.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. "A picturesque
contest for Office in the legislature,
which will meet at Jefferson City this
month, is that of Frank James, the
once noted bandit, for doorkeeper in

said:
II have twice as many votes as any
other candidate and no combination

Strong opposition to James is said to

Gov. Brady of Alaska and other per-
sons familiar with the general features
and natural resources OF that north
ern most possession of the United
States have frequently asserted that its
soil and climate are far rSre amenable
to the processes OF high civilization
than is generally supposed, and have
predicted that the time would come
when Alaska would be the home of a
large and prosperous agricultural pop
ulation. Official confirmation of these
views is furnished in a report Just
made by special agent of the United
States agricultural department, who
has had charge Of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station in Alaska. He thinks
that the territory will ultimately be
as promising field for agriculture and
stock raising as 1t now is for mining
The results of experiments extending
for two years have established beyond
q doubt, he says, that such staple pro-
ducts as fax, wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley can be grown with success and
profit in almost every part of Alaska.

or,r,n of IL VALENTINO. Don

The origin OF St. Valentines day Is
obscure. Saint Valentine was a priest
of Rome, who was martyred in The
third century. Douce says that 1t was
the practice In ancient Rome, during
a great part Of February. to celebrate
feasts In honor OF Pan and Juno. Al
these times, amid many ceremonies
the names of young women were put
into boz. from which they were
drawn by men. The pastors Of the
early church, striving to eradicate pa
gan superstitions, often substituted the
festival OF some Christian saint for
that of a heather deity. In this case
they probably chose that Of st. Valen-
tine, which occurred at nearly the
same time. but though the name OF
the day became Christian, relics Of the
old pagan ceremonies still cling to It,

A City of Dogs.

Munich is the great dog city of the
world. The Bavarians are not an ex-
travagant race, and the dog license is

can't afford its dog. In public consid-
Grafton the dog ranks q little lower
than children and little higher than
women. Dogs are everywhere at oil
hours. Every street car that one sees
pass has a long tail of dogs after it
dogs whose owners are passengers. At
the entrance of every shop you'll find
q group of sedate and patient dogs;
and in front of public buildings like
the courts and the town hall the
scene resembles a dog pound. But 1t
is in the cafes that the dogs hold rev.
ell. Everybody takes his dog with
him and after he (the dog has drunk
his saucer of collector the dog fares
like his master-there is such a scam

dog is a dachshund, and the confor-
nation Of what he has of legs makes
his CREATIONS among chairs and human
legs as little annoying as possible. But
it is only from the banks that dogs
are absolutely excluded, and a porter
is found at the door of each bank for
the purpose of checking your pet like

A CASE OF LAW.
The Decision That Was Rendered by
a Basuto Solomon.

The Decision That Was Rendered by
BasutO Solomon.
Law is a complicated thing, and
some of it's decisions seem not to be
founded in equity. Probably most
readers will pass that criticism upon
the case recorded below:
Basutoland, being broken and noun
famous, was until recently the resort
of lions, leopards and other wild ami
mails. Now, however, the hillsides
which we're once the resort Of these
savage creatures are the pasture
grounds Of tens Of thousands of cattle
Nearly all dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutoland,
but not long ago a leopard appeared
on the outskirts of village The
animal soon became as badly frighten-
ed as the village and sought safety
In flight.
The next morning the inhabitants
turned out for a hunt. One of the
hunters was climbing steep rock
when he suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard, whose re-
tASal was SuI oiAv w luS IoSh 1ISCAA.
Neither the man nor the animal could
escape the encounter.
The dilemma was an awkward one
| for the climber was unarmed. Realiz,
| ing his danger, he put forth his hands
and in desperation caught hold Of the
leopard on each side Of it's jaw, hold
ing it at arms length and calling fol
help. The leopard clawed and tore his
captor, but the man held on till helI
arrived, and the beast was speared.
Now came a question of law. By
Basuto law the skin belonged to the
chief, who must reward one of three
administration the man who speareG
the leopard or the man who held it sc
that 1t was possible to spear it or the
man who, being warned by the bark

/ The Basuto Solomon decided fht
case as follows: The man who spearet
it could not have done so but for. thu
man who. held 1t, and the man wht

THEY DEFEND MOVES
Northwestern Senators Have an In
ming in the Case of Judge
Noyes.
Senator Hansbrough Reads a Letter
from Noyes, Showing Attempts
at Bribery.

Washington, Feb. 27.-In the senate
in the course of his remarks on the Phil
ippine judiciary Mr.. Stewart at the night
session referred to the scandal attach
ing to the judiciary in the Nome district
of Alaska"
Referring to this statement, Mr.. Hans
brough, North Dakota, said he supposed
some of Mr.. Stewards remarks had ap-
piled to Judge Noyes of the Cape Nome
district.
Mr.. Hansbrough read a letter from
Judge Noyes, in which the latter said
that all the gold dust which had ever
been in Receiver McKenzie's hands had
been safely deposited to be held until the
final disposition of the case against Nc
Kenzie. Judge Noyes also said that he
had received many offers of money, but
that the "only offers have received have
been offers to do something in favor of
the gang that is trying to destroy me.''
Continuing Hansbrough said there
had been strenuous efforts to have
Judge Noyes removed, but that these
efforts we're all in the interest of cor
rupt element. He had statements read
showing that bribes of various sums
ranging as high as s25,0OO had been Of
fered the judge and that his life had
been threatened. Replying Mr. Stewart
said that he did not intend that Judge
Noyes SHOULD be whitewashed in the
senate. He read a statement of Judge
Noyes' connection with Mckenzie
claiming that the two men travelled to
Alaska together, and that almost i'm
mediately after their arrival Mckenzie
had received his appointment. The
judge had even made the appointment
before papers in the case had been
filed and injunction had been granted
without bond. Mr.. Stewart said he
considered the record a terrible one
and he considered the offense deserv-
ing of impeachment. He did not think
anyone should apologize for Judge
Noyes.
Mr.. Pettigrew defended Judge Noyes
as the peer of any man on the bench
and as capable and honest. He also de-
clared that Mckenzie was man of char
acter. He believed that his prosecution
had been the result of bribery.
The proceedings he characterized as
one unheard of and one that ought
to bring the San Francisco court into
contempt all over the country. No
matter what the San Francisco court
says the good character of these two
men could not be destroyed.
