Increased Travel to Alaskan Points Tho
North Western Line Announces Plans for
Steamship Excursions for the Season Of

Six special steamship excursions

been arranged, two excursions each
during the three months of June.

of the Pacfi, coast S. s. Go.
The Northwestern Line is planning
to give more attention the coming
season than ever before, to this ques-
tion of tourist travel to ALASKAN
points. The fact that the ocean cur
rents temper the air Of this northern
coast land, is becoming more general
ly known, and the former idea of a
voyage to a bleak and uninviting
shore has given way to the fact TINT
the coast is a charming land of
springlike beauty. Even Mt Sitka the
average yearly temperature is forty
three degrees and in the brief summer
the ground bursts forth with a luxuri-
nnoe of snowy vegetation.

ALASKA is increasing at a rapid rate
and the round trip to Gacler Bay

less than two weeks and is made on
fast steamers which for luxurious
comfort are the equal of any.
The route is through the sheltered
channels of the marvellous group Of
islands that fringes the tiord-cut face
of the mainland %northward two thous-
and miles. The wonders of the Nor
coast, the glaciers and snow
crowned peaks of the Alps, the water
falls in the Yosemite and the tranquil
beauty of the Thousand Islands of the
Lawrence, are all here combined
in q continuous unfolding of island,
mountain, ford and glacier.
En- route, the journey includes Port

sub-contract with them. but it fur
nished no justification for the i'm
position of a fine and the Linsistment
that it must be paid by the plaintiffs
under pain of n boycott Of their bust

to pay it did result in such boycott,
injured the plaintiffs business and
was the result of malice on tho part OF
the defendants OIL ny of them,
the plaintiffs may recover against all
whom you find to have thus acted.
This brings up the question, what
constitutes malice in such a case as
this?
First-One cannot be guilty of ma.
lies without he intends that what has
resulted shall result.
Intent is an operation of the min q
and we can only gather from what
one docs or says.
Whether the act Of a person was in
tenional and malicious, must, there
fore, be determined by what he docs.
What would "a reasonable man say
was the motive from the words spoken
aud the acts done?
When we speak in this connection
Of an act done witha malicious mo-
tive, it does not necessarily imply
that the defendants were actuated in
their proceedings by spite Or malice
against the plaintiff in the sense thu
their motives was to injure him per
sonally, but that they desired TO in-
jure him in business in order to force
him not 10 do whit he had q perfect
right to do, or to do that which he
had a perfect fight not to do.
Whether the defendants in this case,
or any of them sought to injure the
plaintiffs or either Of them personally,
is CT no concern. If tho evidence sat

was their intent go to do.
A man is presumed to intend what

agreement with relation to an apology

MADE CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
Army of Almost Microscopic Ants
Got Into the Jam-Awful Mo-
ment for Hostess.

In Mr.. Julian H~awthorne's "Haw-
thorne and His Circle is the story Of an
experience which will doubtless be APP
preciated by many housekeepers, who
have suffered similar agony, if not from
precisely the same cause.
One night during Mr.. Hawthorne's
term as consul at Liverpool his friend,
Mr.. Henry Bright, the water-color ar
fist, came to an informal supper and
Mrs. Hawthorne, in honor of her guest,
placed upon the table a jar of especially
fine raspberry jam.
Mr.. Bright tasted the jam, and at once
became enthusiastic. He had never
eaten any SO delicious, he declared.
There was a peculiar twang about it
which surpassed his recollections of any
lam he had ever tasted from boyhood up.
He was still in the midst of his rhapso-
dies and still consuming their subject
with enthusiasm when Mrs. Hawthorne,
who had taken a little of the jam Upon
Ter own plate, made a CHASTITY discovery.
The cover of the jam pot had evidently
got ajar in the closet, and an innumera-
Die army of almost microscopic ants had
discovered the treasure, and plunged
eagerly into it.
What color the invading army had
been before they became incorporated
With the jam nobody knew; at the time
of the discovery they could be distin-
guished only by their struggles with
the p~ervasive stickiness-and the eyes
OF Henry Bright were among the most
near-sighted in England.
What was to be done2 Mr.. and Mrs.
Hawthorne stealthily exchanged zone
awful look" and the question was set
tied. 1t was too late to recall the ants
devoured by thousands; 1t was clear
~ n of-the cases where ignorance
was bliss. Mr.. Bright accompanied his
meal with a Continual psalm In praise
OF the exquisite flavor of the raspberry
Jam, n never to the day of his death
discovered the awful secret of that fls-
vor.
There is n comfort about such ex-
per.ences. Although even the mos,
weh-poised or heroic souhc could hardly
en1oythem atthe time, onewho is blessed
win a sense of humor knows that sooner
o later, when the right perspective q
reached they will furnish chapters n
the family chronicles.

THINGS SHE DID NOT WANT
Story That Suggests the Philosophy
of the Negative as a Pro-
moter of Happiness.

Among the members of a certain
family is a much-beloved little woman
whose philosophy of life furnishes nc
small amusement to her friends.
IF you ever feel really forlorn ant
poverty-stricken,P one of her nieces
was overheard saying to a schoolmate
one day, you just ought to go down
town with my Aunt Mary"
1.-The other day ] went shopping with
Thirteen times she stopped and looked
admiringly at things, and then walked
on declaring that she didn't want
them. The silver would need so mucl
cleaning, and the glass would be such
a constant anxiety; the fine clothes
would be too fine to have good times
in, and the handsome furniture Would
show every speck of dust. Even books
could not make her waver, although
sle is an Unsuitable reader.
" There's so many you don't want
to read she says
Once l caught her, when she
stopped before some american beau
ties III Il lOrlSl S q
Wouldn't you like to have money
enough to buy those, auntie? asked
But she wasn't to be caught.
I'D so hate to see them fade she
said.
1.-THE only thing for which I've ever
heard her wish was more money with
which to do things for other people
and ever that was only a half wish,
for if you haven't money you have te
think of something else, and the some
thing else is often so much better she
says. l really think Aunt Mary is hap
pier in discovering things she doesn't
want than most people in getting what
they do want"
The pretty story, says the Youths
Companion, suggests a query: Do we
the majority of us-make enough OF
the philosophy of the negative as e
promoter of happiness? Wealth, wheth-
err of spirit or estate, must be reclsned
not alone by the good possessed, but
also by the undesirable avoided. Many
a quiet flower OF happiness grows be-
side the paths OF those whose eyes are
wise to see the things they do moi
want. y
