row on thb republican side adjoining
the middls aisle. Since the death of
President Mckinley, which put Theo-
dore Roosevelt at the head OF the gov
eminent, Mr.. Frye has continuously
presided over the senate as its presi-
dent pro tenn. He will doubtless con-
tinue to enjcJ that honor and fill the
presiding off GERS chair when Vice
President Fairbanks is away, but the
Indiana senator, as vice president, will
WELD the gayel by right Of his Office.
1t is regarded as fortunate that a mem
Der of the senate succeeds to the vice
presidency.
Mr.. Frye will be welcomed back on
the floor OF the senate, where he long
ago earned distinction as one of the
strong deba4ers in that body. He has
been at the head of the senate com
mittee on for many years,
and ON all measures that come from
that committee he is an authority and
his speeches are always Informative and
instructive. He has at his fingers tips
all sorts of Information on river and
harbor improvements, as for many years
he has virtually made those %appropria-
ton bills that pertain to this work. A
few years ago while debating mi of
the provisions of a river and harbor
bill the senate was startled by the IA
cility with which Mr.. Frye reeled off
figures, percentages and estimates in a
seemingly bewildering tangle. Motto
ing the curious looks of his colleagues
as he would recapitulate a column of
figures RAINING into the hundreds of
millions, he smilingly explained that
when a boy at college his bette noir was
mathematics.

had covered a vast stretch of territory
that day, and was tired. AS he listened
to the walls of the hungry pack coming
closer and closer he knew there was
no sleep for him that night. And there
was none
There was only one thing for him to
do, of course, and the fact that he
brought the body through safely shows
that he did it. He spoke to the leader
of his dog team, and they, too, hear
ing and understanding the call of the
wild" wheeled quickly and made off
for the woods in a direct right angle
TO the trail.
Once under the shelter of the pines
and frs, Mahoney built a log fire and
proceeded to get himself and his dogs
a hasty supper. 1t was we'll that he
acted quickly, for hardly had the
eYaning meal been finished when the
wolves arrived.
Mahoney placed the casket contain
ing the remains of Mayor Humes as
close to the fire as he dared, and then
sat down. The dogs, from sheer
WEAKNESS and fright, crept between the
box and the cracking wood fire, and
lay there, whining through the long
watches Of the night.
All night long that lonely camp,
pitched upon one of the most desolate
end solitary trails in all the frozen
recesses of Alaska, was surrounded by
a row of cleaning eyes. Mahoney sat
there alone, the casket for his seat,
and stared back into the eyes that
cleaned so hungrily at him. Sleep?
1t was out of the question. Rest?
Every nerve in the mans body was
e~training to a tension that bespoke a
breaking.
There IS an end to all things, how
ever. and after what seemed to be the
passing of an eternity the morning
sun scattered the shadows and the
wolves skunk away. y Mahoney nee
more stepped out upon the trail.
All that day he pursued his way over
mountains. through timber, across
rivers and over plains. and not once
did he see a sign or. hear a sound
from the pack that he knew too well
were silently following his footsteps.
Rut no sooner had the sun begun to
dip toward the western horizon than
he again heard the wall of the wolf
q long, unnatural, blood-curdling wall,
and again he spoke to the leader of
his dog team, and again the trail was
left and Mahoney struck for the shell
fering shadows of the wood.
If he were tired the night before, he
was desperate now. After he had
fed himself and his dogs he arranged
the corpse as he had the night before.
This time, however, he placed the cot
fin against the trunk Of a tree. and
leaned his back against it as he set
tled himself for another sleepless
watch for the eoming of another day.
His main fight that night was against
sleep. As a consequence. he gathered
: quantity of pine knots. and lighting

would burn him, and naturally IL
him to be wide-awake. He would ther
get up. throw more wood OH the fire,
and return to the coffin. He kept this
up all night long, and the wrist OF his
right arm bears evidence of how faith
fully. g
AS on the day before. the wolves de-
parted upon the coming of the dawn, al.
though they followed him as relent-
lessly as they had done ever since tEs
trail was struck, and the third and last
night that Mahoney went without
sleep, and almost without food, will
be kept green in his memory as long
as he lives.
AS usual, Mahoney left the trail
some little time before shutdown, made
his camp and gathered a large guam
tity of wood. He knew that II he
could weather the night, his fight
against sleep and beast would be end
ed, for the next day would find him
at a roadhouse, and from then on 1t
would be easy sailing.
Everything went well until three
o'clock. From then on until morning
it was not so much of a fight for the
preservation of the remains ofsthe late
mayor as it was for the preservation OF
the life of Mahoney. The wolves.
their hunger increasing, grew holder,
and despite the fact that the fire was
burning as brightly as the fires of the
previous night had done. the gray
timber terrors crept closer and closer.
Ever and anon one, overbold, would
Jump out of the shadow circle cast by
the flames of the fire and snap vi
eiously at the feet of the silent
watcher.
All night long Mahoney fought these
wolves. He would take a long piece
of pine timber, and, with one end burn
ing would strike and smash at the
glowing eyes and cleaning teeth, and
in that way he not only kept himself
awake. but he also drove back his
foes.
When morning finally came. Ma
honey, half-crazed through fear n
loss of sleep. once more took the
trail, and at noon that day he came
to a r~oadhouse, where he was re
ceivei, fed and put to bed. He slept
until eight o'clock the next morning,
when he at once took to the trail, n
from that time until he reached Val
dez he was not compelled to spend a
a single night alone, nor did he again
hear frcn the unwelcome guests that
had followed him for three days n
nights.
There are white hairs on Mahoney's
head to-day. They were absent VINCE
he left Fairbanks.

invalid. This undesirable condition
continued, despite the best of treatment.

strength was not sufficient, and he, too,
was bitten and deep gashes were cut IN
his arms and legs by the bears claws.
So terrified were the chorus girls on
the stage that many of them leaped over
the footlights into the orchestra. Stage
hands and men of the company secured
ropes and finally made a prisoner of the
bear.
The bear was to be used in a wrestling
act and was thought to be safely in his
cage while the rehearsal was in progress.
Owing to the injuries sustained by the
principal members of the company the
opening of the theater was postponed.

Jacob BurIett, of Nebraska. will be
sworn in @ a the 4th of March as a sem
ator from that state as the successor
Of Senator Dietrich. Mr.. Burkett was
born December 1, 1867. This makes
him about four years younger than Mr..
Bailey and about five years younger
than Mr.. Beverage, of Indiana, who
has been a close second to Bailey for
the distinction of being the most youth
full member of the senate.
All three of these young men might
pass for having fewer years than they
can lay claim to. Mr.. Beveridge un-
doubtedly is at the present time the
most youthful looking man in the SEN
ate. He is of rather fair complexion,
with DARK brown hair, smooth face, and
is boyish in his name and in his feel
ings. Although Mr.. Bailey is a year his
junior, the Texan has a dignifed bear
ing and a thoughtful expression that
adds to his age, although his face is
smooth and as ~red-cheeked as a boy
of Is. His deliberate n and
thoughtful expression are those of n
man we'll on IN middle lie. he, now
ever, was born on October 6, 1863, while
Mr.. Beveridge was born on the same
day in 1862.
Mr.. Furkett would easily be taken
for Mr.. Beveridge's senior. He has a
rather heavy. dignifed appearance and
is very formal in his address. He rep
resents the possibilities of the Amer
lean boy and his biography shows that
he has o his senatorial toga by merit
and haId work. He was born On a farm
in Iowa and had the usual experience
Of a western farmer lad with ambitions
that locked beyond the cornfield. He
taught school in Nebraska and read law
atsthe STATE university of that state, be-
ing admitted to the bar in 1893. He
was elected to the state legislature in
1896 and served three terms in congress.

from his department. He has aimed to
make the department an educational
institution on all subjects. scientific and
practical, that deal with agriculture.
During the last fiscal year this de-
partment issued 972 separate bulletins,
a big increase over the year before, and
they comprised nearly $4,000 printed
pages. The total number of copies or
all publications sem out during the
year was IL, 421, 1856. In FIVE years the
publication work of this department has
been doubled. In recent years the re-
quests from educational institutions
have greatly increased, WITH normal
schools taking the lead.
It has been the policy of Secretary
Wilson to see that these educational
institutions are supplied with all
they want. It Is a pretty heavy
draft upon the departments resources,
as the demands for documents vary in
number from 40 to SO copies of some
special class to as many as 5000 to
1000 requested by state superintend-
ents for general distribution to teach
ers. The expenditure of money in this
distribution is regarded, however, as
fully justified, as it advances the edu-
c~ational work of the department.
There is every prospect that these re-
quests for school supplies will greatly
increase in the future. The burden
upon the United States mail service in
as great as is the expense of preparing
and printing these documents, but
that, too, is regarded as amply justi-
fed.

has ended was largely an inheritance
from the martyred Mckinley, and Pres
ident Roosevelt has done his best to
carry out his predecessors policy, and
to redeem McKinley's promises.
Mr.. Roosevelt has at his disposal
6,203 "plums," carrying salaries any
where from $17,500 a year to nothing.
These are civil offices known as "presi-
dential,' whose incumbents must be
confirmed by the senate. They are
places in the civil branch that are not
covered by the civil service. In addi-
ton, of course, there are permanent
commissions in the army, navy and ju-
dietary, but these do not count in the
distribution of what are recognized as
political positions. The most produc-
tive part of the presidential plum or
chard is that in the post office de-
partment. There are 5,082 places at
the disposal of the president, all but
IA of them being postmasterships OF
the first, second and third class. The
fourth class postmasterships, which
carry less than 81 900 salary, are not
distributed by the president.
In the state department there are
five ambassadorships paying $17,500
per year each; two ambassadorships,
those at Vienna and Rome, paying

duty. Just think, how often a fire
ntan IL called upon to enter a build
ing full Of dense smoke, to rescue
some person who has already been
overcome, and the wonder is that he
is not supplied with some protection
for his own life. There does not seem
to- be any reason why he should not,
for instance, wear an apparatus like
the one shswn in the illustration. He
could then with absolute safety to
himself enter any burning building,
with an added chance Of saving any
lives that might be endangered. The
upper portion is made in the form of
heed or mask Of air-tisht and fire
proof fabric, to be placed over the
head Of the wearer, with glass clos
ures for openings for the eyes. There
is also a cap opposite the mouth. which
closes against air from without, but
opens fer the discharge of exhaled air
which has been breathed. Reservoirs
which contain compressed air or oxy-
gen for sustaining life are attached
to the back of the wearer by straps,
and connected by tube to the back of
the hood, with valves for regulating
the supply. The compressed air can
thus be readily supplied from the res
ervoirs to the interior Of the hood, to
be breathei by the wearer After en-,
tering a building filed with smoke a
