Southwestern Alaska seems just now to be laboring from the effects of overbooming and unwise stam- peding. But it will steadily come to the front just the same. The great natural resources are there.

The practice of uniformity in divorce agreement in F countries, but in the United States, says an exchange, but three states have as yet passed divorce laws which provide that divorces ob- tained in other states on ground not recognized in the three states shall be held as invalid in the three states forming the union. In view of the re- lations the American states hold to each other, it would seem to be easier to come to an agreement on so import ant a matter as diyopce than in E11- rope, where no similar international relation exists. But as yet little pro gress has been made ip this country in establishing uniform divorce laws. A divorce which is legal in California is not recognized in New York, and 8 divorce which is legal in New York is not recognized in South Carolina. A recent decision by a London court setting aside South Dakota divorce will possibly serve to concentrate pub lie opinion in this country to the ne- cessity of coming to a decision as to what constitutes a marriage and what dissolve it. We cannot make laws for Europe nor Europe for us, but if we could agree among ourselves as to the conditions under which marriage may be dissolved, an International agreement would be possible which would require the recognition of an American divorce. The report of a committee of the American Bar asso- ciation which states that three states have agreed upon uniform divorce laws does not name the three states, nor state the conditions to which they have given their assent The readiest way to secure uniform action would be for the several states to appoint commissioners to consider e-question of marriage and divorce. Such a com
 mission, composed of men from states holding diverse views on the divorce question, might come to an agreement which the several states would ulti- mately adopt. This method of pro- ceeding would save time, but under present conditions time is elapsing and little if any progress is being made

THE FAMOUS DOONES
An Investigator Says They Never
 Lived His Theory.

An Investigator Says They Never
 Lfved-H Theory.
 Who were the 'tDoones of. Badg- Tworthyg' The question would never have been asked but for the genius of the late R. D. Blackmore, who did for Exmoor with "Lorna Doone" what Scott did for the Trossachs with Rob Roy" Were there ever such beings, or were they simply legendary family 7 Tn a very Interesting pamphlet, pub lished by Messrs Burleigh, E. J. Rawle seeks to give a definite answer. He shows that the first attempt to collect Exmoor legends was made about the year 1884, and they were mainly gathered from an old woman named
 Ursula Johnson, a reputed witch.
 There is no mention of the Doones until the middle of last century, when tine district was opened up asa tourist resort, and the robber legend was giv- en in the guide books. In 1857 there .. was an article in Frazer's magazine quoting the legend of the Doones seiz- ing an infant and eating it, and the story of Tom Faggus and his straw berry mare. About 1866 crude short tale appeared in the Leisure Hour CI2tSu Lu0 DUCAf1S OI 1lAHbUzH, dAu Blackmore acknowledged that it was
 through accidentally glansing at this that he obtained the clew for the
 weaving of the romance which caused ] him to study the details on the spot. ; l sfLorna Doone' itself was published in 1 1869. Since then endless efforts have been made to find a real historical ba- l sis for the Doone legend and to prove ! the existence of the Doones i'll the Care and Bagdworthy district in the seventeenth century.
 Mir. Rawle has not much difficulty 1 in disposfng of these fancffM theories 1 The simple fact is that nothing is 1 known, though two years ago a lady claimed that seher great-great-greai
 grandfather was the son of Charles 1 Doone. eldest son of Sir Ensor, and
 probably the original Carver Doone' of Blackmore's romance" and traced l the pedigree out with great circum
 stantial detail. She maintained that 1 the DooneS were Scotch that they were
 exf4ed from Scotland in 1920, and set
 tied in the Care valley, where they
 were more or less hated and feared by
 the countryside, until their return tC I Perthshire in 1899. :. But the whole 1 story, as MT. Rawle shows, seems to
 have been most ingenious and el l aborate hoax, including the old pair ot
 bellows and fintlock pistol, engraved l on one side 70. Doone,'' and on the
 other stPoriok.'' MT Rawle's own sng-
 gestion is simply corruption ot l Dane" and he shows how even as
 late as the beginning of the eighteenth century memories of the ancient de 1 scents and rades of the Danes on the
 shores of the Severn sea were very l fresh in the minds of the inhabitants
 of Porlok. ssSuch deeds,'' he says
 "as are now associated with the
 Doones of BadgWorthy are far more i likely to have been done by the fierce
 marauding Danes than by any band l of commonwealth outlaws or family
 of exaled Scottish noblemen."

General BeH's report from the Phil ippines shows that the army officers are speculating and using their posi- tions to skin the people in every way
 The report sustains General Miles's re port. It is well known that officers have sent home many articles which couId only have come into their pos session by theft or open robbery. There is scarcely community in the land where these '-cilrios' are not on exhi- bition.

After reading the ~confnuous per formance'' business of the Hartford Post editor toward Mayor Sullivan of the Capitol City, one can have some idea, perhaps of why those Pennsyl- vania officials wanted to muzzle the press. Public officers are entitled to the respect due their office, if we do not respect the man. The Post should take tumble and give its readers q change now that the straw hat season is at an end.

.THREH YEARS AND UNDER

~ .2.1
 If you ever wish to learn exactly how big a 3-year-old boy can be just apply for position as conductor on one of the street car lines of this city, remarked the man in charge of collect ing fares on local railroad line the other day.
 The conductor stood silently viewing the occupants of the car for as much as whole minute before he ventured another remark Then he nodded his head toward two children inside of the closed car.
 "You see those cherubs there,'' he asked. 'WeM, how old do you think they are?"
 The passenger suggested that one of them mi ght be 5 and the other years of age.
 ''WeIl, you are mistaken retorted the conductor. ''They are weIl-grown children, of course. but they are young. Neither of them has reached the ten der age of years yet You see, their mother knows their ages That is the lady with them She says they are not yet B.
 Then a woman with a buxom boy of the size usually seen in the second or third grade of school entered.
 'sHow old do you think that boy is?'' whispered the conductor.
 When was guessed he offered to wager that the lad was not yet 3, and to prove it by the mother of the young man when he collected the fare, but the passenger had become wary of betting man on his own proposition and kept off. 1t turned out that the boy was mot quite 3 years of age"
 Three years is to children just what 16 is to the sweet girl a little later on i'll Iife.'' continued the conductor. s'It is an age to cling to. Three years is the age at which children must have their fares paid, while below that they ride free. I now and then point out to visitors to this city some of the g. year-olds with whom I am acquainted just as an advertisement, showing what place this is to grow children.

Uncle Amos. though filled with com.

stamped as philosopher. The fat

the fun of the play. and Mr. Gus Tate
gives masterful portrayal of the
character. Another pleasing feature
is the California quartette; good sing
