Lew wallace. vnwritten Novel.


 General lew Wallace had m mind an American novel He once said that li was hIs Intention to write this story after he had completed his memois His theme was the striving of Amo.t- cans to accomplish wonderful things n an incredibly short time. His hero was to he a restless American who lived Tyr a few years In Europe, then In Austra' ua. in Africa and In South America and who finally, after years of wander. ing. returns to his own country only Co start again upon his Journey, never satisfied, never happy, the spirit ot an Indian within him and the chlldlisc dc sire to sec new scenes. In each of these countries his hero was Co accom- nllsh worthy deeds, and when he rc. turns to his own country it IS with the Intention of leading the life Of a son of the soil, but his hero finds he cannot do SO. The story would have been sugscs- tive of The Wandering Jew" with the element of religious controversy elimi- mated. Success.

IT 6 person has. as the Celts say, ronly one side to his tongue" and wishes to add to his resources in the matter of language 1t might be well for him to apply to an old man in Scotland, whose methods of instruction are simple. They are described in Scenes In Scotland" by Mir. Sinclair.
 A lady visiting in the north of Scot- land wished to get some Idea of the Gaelic and employed an old native Co give her a course of language lessons. The Scotsman took the Bible for the text book, and, opening it at the be- ginning of Genesis, he said;
 Now, ma'am, I'll read this to you in the Gaelic, and you'll see yourself how 1t will 90"
 With solemn intonation and an ap- peallng. triumphant glance toward the lady at the end of every clause, he loudly read the first four verses and paused to watch the effect Then he said in a tone of deep conviction:
 Now, ma'am. if you'll take your own Bible and turn to that chapter and read it in English youn see it's just the selfsame thing"
 The old man was much surprised that the lady dld not continue her lessons

A usErUL PERSON

A Saratoga dispatch of August l4, says:
 ,Brooker T. Washington, the co'ored educator, escorted one of John Wana- mAker's daughters, Mrs. Barclay War, burton, ip to dinner At the Union hote' yesterday. Several of the guests re- tired from the dining room with eIpres- sious of disgust"
 Such performances a' that are undo iug All the good work Booker Wash ing did for hIs race in his earlier days The success of the great school at Tus- kesee has been due in large degree to the acceptance by Washington of the idea of A separate development ot the races. He used to preach to his people that 1t is their duty to make their race 60 good and so cArable that they will be proud of their color. He was as strongly opposed to the association ot white and black in social intercourse as are the white people of the South, By teasing to practice as he successfully preached he is making himself rather the enemy than the beneiactor ot his race. By his example he will make his people discontented under the only pos slble plan by which they and the white race can occupy the same land at the same time in peace.

NO REASON AT ALL.

Some of those who favor some new fAngled manner of government for Alaska rather than sslt-goverument, urge that it is impossible to get COD gress to grant the district territorial organization, and that Ee should seek what we can get-which is no reason at all. The people of Alaska cannot afford to act the part of mendicsnts, begging for crumbs. If they wish to maintain their seli.rtspect and to have others re- spect their manhood they must stand ou their rights and demand that to which they are of right entitled.
 WFor thousands of years the contempt Of right thinking men and women has beea the portion of a certain famous character who sold his birthright for a meas of poItage. We cannot afford to sell our citizenship and honor for some passing favor, and thus earn the con- tempt of future generations ot Alaskans.
