Scotch minister instructed his clerk
who sat among the congregation during
service, to give low whistle if anything
in his sermon appeared to be exaggerated.
On hearing the minister say: In those

the minister.

Alaska has been entreatiug congress for thirty years and more to grant this great area-it Is nothing else-sowe sort ot government, There is ress n why the uuceasing requests have been den,ed, and one Is given by man who is close to the powers that be and who has through years ot contact with them
 He says the east fears the growing power of the northwest and for no other reason Alaska IS denied rights sle would receive instanter if she Icy on the Atlantic rather than on the Pacific coast Territorial government would be the stepping stone to state government, and that would carry with it increased opposition from the uorth' west for the eastern congressman to contend with,
 At first glaSce 1t seems preposterous that members of the governing bodies of the .reat United States government would deny privileges accorded by the constitution iu order to preserve sec tional supremacy, but to the msn who has had practical experience in modern politics, the above explanation seems to be the best one yet given Of Alaska's distress.

Our Cold Waves.

We Americans are always talking
about our mountains Of gold and coal
and iron, of our fat fields Of corn and
wheat, but few of us ever realize that
we have in our climate a great advan-
tage over all other nations. In the
cold wave which in summer and win
ter SO often sweeps across the land
and sends the thermometer ~tnsnbling
80 degrees in almost as many minutes,
we fave a constant, a never-diminish-
ing asset Of priceless value. The wave
acts as a tonic, but, unlike any tonic
made by man, 1t carries no reaction.
No other land has cold waves like
ours. To the cold, dry air Of this pc
riodic cold wave, which brings extra
ordinary changes Of temperature, we
owe much Of the keen, alert mind, the
.incessant, unremitting enerSv Of our
American race.-Century.
