In the island of Sulu grows the
DURAN, which is about the size of a
muskmelon. Its exterior presents
somewhat the appearance of a chest

within the fruit is white and cheese

American soldiers dubbed it "vege-
table limburger." The mangosteen is
another of the rare fruits of the
island. 1t Is the size of an average
orange, chocolate colored and has a
very brittle skin. Inside four white
sections contain a colorless liquid.

Omnipotcut within us we but sec
The lavish measures In which love Is
given
And In the yearnlng tenderness OF a

For every bird that sings above its head.

And every tree and flower, and running

And how they err. who in a world like

Find anything TO hate but human pride.

D ugluS \ Thinks A Alaska
 Womb All Right

It is evident th:' the Douglas News does not favor women sufferage as a general proposition, but 1t thinks it is different in Alaska. The admiration of the Douglas paper r Alaskl Umen is apparent in the following from its columns:
 'By the provisions of recent act of congress, the women of Alaska are to be granted the right of suffrage Well and good; Alaska women may we'll be trusted to exercise this right. although they have not asked for it.
 The women of Alaska are usually of the kind that stay at home and tend the babies, plan spring bonnets, make over old dresses, and mind their own business, but if the poker-playing, champagne drinking, pleasure chasing congressman think they should vote, they will do it with their accustomed grace and modesty, and in an intelligent manner, too.
 "The women of Alaska, God bless them, are not the pampered dolls of society who drive men to the devil and drink, but they are brave and noble helpers in the development of a frontier country. They have left their cosy hones iu the states to take their places by the side of their husband and share with him the battle of life. When the cruel winds of adEersity have chilled the blood and appalled, the stoutest heart, these women have had words of cheer and comfort for the distressed. Alaskans are willing that they should vote and have no fear of the consequence.

NOT RIGHT Canadians Kick at Fine and

The Canadian Pacific Railway Com pany has complained to the department because of a fine of s26OO imposed by Deputy Collector of Customs Beagle of Ketchikan, upon the Princess May for selling tickets from Alaska to Seattle.
 It is believed that the money will have to be returned to the Canadian company. It has been held that it is the taking on of passengers at one American port by a foreign ship and the landing of them at another American port and not the selling of tickets between the two ports that constitutes the offense for which the Princes May was fined. The yaSsol landed her Alaskan passengers at Vancouver.
