Men and Truth.

Archbishop Whately Of Dublin once
asked a young man how it happened
that truth, although always sedulous-

When the youth demurred giving his
answer, Whately said: 'T'll tell you
why; 1t Is because men always prefer
getting truth on their side to being on
the side Of truth"

THE CHARMS OF ALASKA.
Not Time to Sleep in Summer, as It
Is Never Dark-Miners Snooze
Methodically.

when ] tell my friends that in
Alaska during the months of
June, July and August we have
almost continual sunlight, and
that it never gets dark in the
summer months, they invariably
ask when we sleep" said a mer-
chant from Council, Alaska, re-
Gently, to the Portland Oregonian.
"Well, we sleep whenever we
have the opportunity. Very few
of us have a regular time of going
to bed and arising except the min
ers, who work in shifts and have
to be more methOdical.
"In the winter months there is
practically nothing doing, and the
few people who stay there can
sleep all they desire.
But when spring opens up
business fourishes. Every one
has to work all he possibly can,
because the summer is very short
and a great deal has to be accom-
plished to make up for the stag
nation during the winter months.
"We have wonderful summers
at Council, as it never gets very
warm or cold. Several times,
though, l have seen the thermom-
eter register 80 degrees. The YER
dure and the brush grow with a
rapidity that is astonishing in the
warm months. Plants grow so
rapidly that we can raise berries
and the harder vegetables before
frost sets in

and to the United States supreme court also
to the state board of pardons, but there was
no escape from the extreme penalty. His
execution is set for Oct II. Warden Boucher
feels that 1t would have been more humane if
the legislature had enacted measure provid-
ing for electrocution. He will soon have. a
gallowss erected in the state prison. .,
Rooney ia held In close confinement, but will
soon be placed in solitary confinement with
guards before his cell day and night. He has
attempted suicide on several occasions, and has
frequently boosted that he would cheat the gal
lows.

greatly oyercrowded and cell room is badly
needed The hospital will soon be completed
and several Of the TRUSTEES will be placed there
till more prison room can be provided.
There Is such demand for Irvine by the
farmers of the state that Warden Boucher has
