Alaska Getting More Atten-
 tentiOn than Ever Before

W. w. Jermane, Washington City correspondent of the Seattle Times, telegraphs his paper the following:
 'Asa result of personal observation, there are more congressman interested in Alaskan legislation than ever before and they are discussing itwith thepres- ideut. Senator Warren, Wyoming in- timated today that two things are likely Co have the sanction of the president and the leadersof the house and senate. They are, first, one delegate from the territory to congress, and second, the formation of @ supreme court
 An other territories have such a tri- bunal and Warren believed the admin isratiou of judicial affairs in Alaska would be expedited by its creation. Construction of suitable roads will also probably be authorized. "

Ina symposium on che question oI municipal incorporation, contributed by citizens and taxpayers of its town- ,be Rampart Forum quotes one J. E. Neussbaum, as follows:

 uisqute evident cha, llr. Neuss- baum does not know any more about Skagvay chan Skagvay knows about Mr. Neussbaum. The fact is tha, ssagvay is no, only without deb, but it has been so fora long lime.

Dan Pullen Thrashes Port
 land Bully

The thrasbing given the referee of the Washingtou-Nulnomah football game at Portland by Dan Puuen Of Skagway, is Che talk in football circles in the northwest R. C. Smith, who returned last night says Pulleu easily worsted his opponent who nude am un- justi6able attack on him.
 The Seattle Times of last Sunday has the following account of the a1air
 A general free-tor-au fight followed the defeat of Washington by che Mult- nomah football team today.
 During the game and just before Multnomah made their only touch- down, Dan Pullen, Washington's left guard, claimed the ball on a tumble, but Mcdonnell, the referee. would not allow it In the excitement Pulleu called the referee a name.
 After the game, while pullen was sitting on a chair in the dressing room, Mcdonnell, accompanied by NcNillau, an Oregon payer, entered the room. Mcdonnell demanded anapology. Pul- len refused. Mcdonnell said: "rl eat you or you'll eat me, and though Pullen was sitting down. Mcdonnell struck him a hard jolt in the eye, knocking him down.
 Both men went Co the loor in the second round, Pullen getting in some hard folts on nose and face. McMillan started in to interfere and Scherer soaked him. In the meantime Rem ington, au ex-Washingt0n s,udenG started in to help Pulen. and for @ time 1t looked like a Dowie mass meet- ing
 sigrjst and others finally separated them. Mcdonnell now says be won't accept an apology, and puIleu says he won't have the chance.
 Eye witnesses say it was cowurdy for Mcdonnell to hit Pullen when the late ter was iu DO position to defend him- self Pullen says had Mcdonnell asked for an apology in the right way he might have considered it.

From Paris comes the report of a
new amusement known as 'electrlc
billiards." 1t is played On table, in
the center of when is placed plate
ef some easily electrified material. The
billiard balls are Of compressed pitch,
and the cue is short rod with cork
tip. prepared chemically. The balls
are. of course, subject to the infu-
ence of the electrified plate in the
center of the table and owing to this
fact it is difficult to make carroms.
1t is said to be purely a game of skill,
and when it is introduced into New
York, which it is said will be in the
near future, it is likely to become
popular among champion billiard play

A LITTLE
LOVE COMEDY
fOriginal. !

tOriginaLl
Paul Eikard never knew fathers
or a mothers care, both his parents
having died When he was an infant.
His grandmother. who had quarreled
with her daughter on account of her
marrying Herman Bikard, had never
seen the child, but had paid literally
for his support and education. She had
died when Paul was in college and had
left hin some means. On being grad
uated he was to go 10 an aunt. who was
to take tie place Of only relative.
When Pau. appeared at his Aunt Car
olines house a singular looking little
old la1y with PaI. Of corllscrcW curls
received hil9 in q room SO shaded from
the liEat that he did not see her till she
advanced to meet him.
"Yon are Paul Rikard, my sisters
SON." she said "and | am your Aunt

are twenty-three years old, at which
time ! am to pay over to you your in

room and left the yonn@ man to him

This, the only relative he had ever
seen. ss>-!ed to be not an especially

attractive IS his aunt. for such old peo-

Then came a summons to dinner.
A young girl. the very counterpart of
his aunt advanced to meet him, cor
daily welcoming him. From the mo-
ment he saw her and listened to her
kindly words he knew he had met one
with whom he would be especially con-
genial
II am Claudia" she said Il have
heard a great deal about you from my
dear mother by adoption and | assure
you for years have felt an interest in
one who has had no one to take the

selves at least cousins"
"But Aunt Caroline showed no inter

.'She will. Believe me, you can tell
nothing about her from what you have
seen She has the kindest heart in the
world and is very unselfish.'
Paul wondered if the girl would call
the old woman unselfish had she heard
her declare that she intended keeping
