If the boundary dispute was left to the settlement of Secretary Hay the Canadians would have cinch. Fortu- nately the question is bigger than eith- CT Hay or Roosevelt.
 F. c. Wade, who is featuring in East ern Canada, sized up the situation properly when he said: "Canadians are too slow to recognize the opportu- mites of their own country and too lazy to improve them"
 Prospectors will do we'll to bear in mind that the occurrence of coal in Alaska is limited to rocks of the later geologic periods-the Mesozoic and Tertiary. When looking for coal don't monkey with other formations. A word to the wise is sufficient. \
 A. B. Garberg, who has been pros pecting No. above on Dry creek, in Nome district, for the Pioneer Mining company, has commenced prospecting work on No. 5.

The miners do not consider S1 to the pan anything big.

Modern Newspapers.

There never was more superficial
view taken of any important field Of
labor, or falser deductions drawn, than
to say that because new methods con-
troll in journalism the influence Of the
press has been weakened, declares Mar
cellus Foster, in the Houston Post We
might as well say that the influence of
trade and commerce upon the masses
has waned because the universal indi-
vidualism of some years ago has given
way to the great cooperative move
ments and processes of the present.
Journalism has, indeed, changed in
the past two decades, especially in the
past decade-changed as rapidly as
any other great force or agent of prog
ress has changed. The facilities for
making papers have been so multiplied
and improved that we see now more
elaborate establishments, larger use of
capital back of the paper, greater
subdivision of labor, more system con-
sequent upon this very expansion, and
last but not least. the substitution of
corporate for individual proprietorship,
Of collective force for individual opin-
ion.
The great paper of to-day no longer
depends on the individuality or repu-
tation or personal influence of any one
man. The development of modern life
and progress has introduced new forces
in the newspaper offices just as in the
industrial and commercial world.

Just then the front-door bell rang.
Henry Sparks stumbled over two
trunks, his daughters bicycle, barked
his shin, bruised his toes and finally
reached the door. There in the hall
stood young woman, comely and
strong looking. SIS this the place you
want a girl?" she asked.
A sudden joy leaped into Henry
Sparks heart. "Yes," he said, "come
In. We've just moved; we're all up
side down here. Look out for the
boxes"
Then Mr.. Sparks led the way into
the dining room and turned the caller
over to his wife. Eyes, we want a

girl.
At this answer Henry Sparks, who
stood in corner, almost tainted. The
girl produced letter from Lutheran
Clergyman in little country village.
1t happened that Henry Sparks knew
the man. The girl was taken on the
spot, as she declared she was ready
to go to work then and there and would
have her things sent right over from
her cousins.
During the whole conversation Mrs
Sparks face had worn q rather puzzled
expression. When the girl had volun

Worn at n Wedding.

The most noticeable dress worn at n
recent smart wedding was not worn
by bride or bridesmaid. but simply by
n guest. 1t was of ivory white satin.
The prevailing note was the princess
robe, but the bodice opened over a vest
of pink brocade. which gave just the
relief of delicate color sufficient to
counteract the effect of the dead-whlte
garment. Gauntlet cuffs were of the
brocade, and lace ruffles and cravat
finished the confection. The choice of
a hat suitable for wearing with such n
gown was no doubt matter of some
difficulty. but 1t was successfully set
tied by selecting large black silk
beaver toque trimmed with white lace
and black ostrich plumes, fastened
with paste buckles.
The bride afterward said that she
felt flattered to have such a costume
designed for and worn to her wedding
But the costumes greatest triumph
was In winning the observation from
an artistic man present, "She looks
like a portrait of herself by an ole
master."-New York Commercial Ad
