snhcme For HIdIne Key..

A woman who Is both careless and forgetful had been chlded so severely for leaving trunks and bureau drawers unlocked in boarding house that she set herself to cultivate the habit of locking up. But what to do with the keys after she had locked up puzzled her sorely. She had no pockets to put them in and her purse was crammed full of miscellany. She tried putting them in the front of her corsage, but they made an uncomfortable and un- Eghtly bunch there. Then sho took to hiding them in out of the way places about her room, but she always for got where she had put ;hem. and she spent enough time in searching Tor them to have written Q book or per formed some other work of value to the world. The other day she hit upon what at first seemed to her an inspired scheme. She put the keys with eanny prudence fin her little brass teakcttle and then, lest she should forget where she had hidden them. wrote a note and stuck 1t on her pincushion saying ''Keys are in the teakettle."-New York Press.

ADVICE FROM DAWSON.

The Kl'udlks Nugget, speaking from ths sxp,rlence of the Klondike. truly says Alasl<ans will never get what they desire ln the way of government or legislation until they have sslf-gOvemment. Sounds strange thls. A Canadian pager In a crown colony advising Americans that self-gov- tnmsn, Is preferable to a government by strangers who are no, Interested To the welfare Of those goyernedi lt Is sufficient to make citizens of the United States hang thelr helds In shame that foreigners should ever be given the opportunity Co make any such suggestions to Americans. As for those Americans In Alaska who prefer to be governed by outsiders. they should go Co Turkey or RrssIl. There Is no room for them in Canada or the United Stltss, and Alskl will soon be Ssli.gOveming. The Nugget says;
 "AllSI, Is now going through sXper- Isncss v,tv similar Co what this territory has undergone during the past five wears. b Is subject Co laws enl ted 4,ooo miles aE-v by men who for the most rlrt have only a vague itel of where Alaska Is To- eated. The average Fastener, even though he may be SsnatCr or congressman, has no proper coucertion of the extent or value of Alaska. The word it'elt Is associated ln their minds with lesbergS, grizzly bear and EsluimauN and for the most part they know Httle and care less about The actual facts.

nn. Kina Of Friend.hIp.

In the village where live l was in the habit of visiting two poor inhrm old women. one inhabiuns the single downstairs room. the other occupying the garrett above her. Each kept Jealous watch as to whether ] bestowed more tea or sixpences on the other, and each was sure to tell me every ill trait she could hear of the other. One day the old lady who lived upstairs, thank ing me effusively for my visit said; "You're the only lady ever comes near me. the only friend have. That one,' pointing downward, "has hapes of friends" adding hastily lest I should be too favorably impressed by that cir cumstance, "and there's not wan of them but hates her" thought to my self that such a description of friend ship may sometimes apply to higher circles than that of my poor old friends.

STORIES OF THE STREET
Was a Country Correspondent.

W. P. Cleveland told a reporter for
the Eagle one day during the week Of his
experience as a newspaper reporter. It
was back in the hills OF Vermont in 1874
that Mr.. Cleveland was appointed coun-
try correspondent of the Woodstock Ca
zette. He wrote every thing up that
struck him as news, but he always used
TO get so mad at himself because many
times he would run right into a good
news item and never recognize it as
such. It was while at his home town
that the bartender and his country friend
got on a fiery drunk and rode down the
village street firing their guns of into
the sidewalk and once in while glazing
a neighbours roof
Well said Mr.. Cleveland. II thought

Aiken Has Trouble Himself.

Rev. D. D. Aiken. who prosecuted Rev.
Lowther az Arkansas City last week was
on the carpet once himself. An old man
named Enoch Cole, down at Caldwell,
made a complaint against him for being
too sociable with the non-Chrlstian ele-
ment of the town. One specific griev-
ance was that while talking with some
fellows one day he used a stack OF beer
cases for an elbow rest. This was aw-
fuI in the eyes of Mr.. Cole. Mr.. Aiken
was popular with the cowboys and when
he was up before the presiding elder
it is said that a number OF them, booted
and spurred. attended the examination
and injected uncaned for remarks into
the digniied proceedings. 8Iilt Bennett
a fine big-hearted cattleman couldn't
stand to see Mr. Aiken get the worst
of it and secured enough pledges to give
him an advance Of 500 q year. I'm case
he was expelled from the church, 20
preach for the cowboys. Mr.. Aiken was
thoroughly acquitted. for his ofense
was merely popularity with the crowd
lie was considered the best preacher
Caldwell had ever had and his popularity
enabled him TO do lots of good.

At the alley way on First street be-

ably the greatest intersection OF wires
in the state OF Kansas. Most OF the

to be so many, but by actual count It is

Ually the first session of a congress runs
into June, July, and occasionally August
Two years ago it was nearly the middle
OF June when the session adjourned. This
year it was thought there was a proba-
bility OF a long session. Indeed, during
the tariff revision controversy, it looked
as though the session might be pro-
longed far into the summer. But with
all doubt on that score removed, the
atmosphere began to clear somewhat It
all depends now upon Cuban reciprocity
and the shipping bill. Nearly everything
else is disposed OF. The Cuban reciprocity
question may or may not be settled with
in a week or two. It all depends upon
how soon the opposition can be absolutely

procity legislation will be enacted, but
the opposition still has life The result
