certificate to his father The marquis ac-
knowiedged 1t by promptly cutting off his
sons allowance
Emerson once said that the chief value of
a college education is to teach q man how
little Ii is worth. Ermenegaldf speedily dis
covered the truth of this when he began to
hustle for living. He was man without
a trade, and his accomplishments counted
for nothing The few hundred dollars that
he had brought with him were soon ex-
hausted, for his early training had not I'M
cluded lessons in economy. Then recourse
was had to the pawnshop. When nearly
everything he possessed had been pledged
he humbled his pride and wrote a pathetic
appeal to his father in his beautiful palace.
This was the answer he got from the old
marquis:
my Dear Son-You shall have the run tas
of yore) of my palace and my horses and
my carriages. All that | have is yours and
l shall only be too pleased to clasp you In
my arms once more II you return. But you
must return alonei Until my dying day
refuse to recognize the woman you have SO
foolishly married, below your station"
Il y
Poverty had entered the door but love did
not fly out of the window. Ermenegaldi de-
clared he would do ANY thing for living
before he would leave his wife. The only
anything" his unskilled hand could find to
do was lathering customers on busy nights
In the BARRIERS shop on the ground floor.
The barber was an Italian. If he had pos
American he would have advertised the
fact that the son and heir of the Marquis di
Castro was performing nightly with the
shaving brush and the increase of patronage
would have made the young nobleman's'
services worth good salary. But be didn't
do 1t and the amateur latherer was able to
earn only small pittance-rot nearly
enough for the two young lovers, with
healthy appetites, to live upon
Then his wife had recourse to her former
trade and purchased sewing machine on
the instalment plan. She also neglected
to advertise the fact that she was the wife
of an Italian nobleman, and the little odd
jobs she got did not suffice to enable her to
keep up her payments on the machine.
The sewing machine company sent man
to remove 1t. 1t is alleged that he laid
rough hands on the pretty bride. That led
to an application for summons for as
sault. and. through that, London obtained
its first fnkling of the pretty and pathetic
romance. Perhaps when he hears what
folks here think of IL. and what they are
saying of hin, the stern old marquis may
reIent. Any how it has given the young
nobleman an advertisements that may go far
toward helping him get decent job.

Extending from the head of Resurrection

the headwaters of the Keuai river which

narrow forested valleys penetrates the low

river anad Turnagain. all containing aurif-

- DISABILITIES of development in the
far northwest are not realized by
those who have not fathomed the
u extent and the resources of the
great empire of Alaska.
It's gold fields have become famous
throughout the world, its fisheries and its
sealing grounds have long supplied the mar
kets. but its coal beds and petroleum de-
posts and it's forests have yet to become
thoroughly known.
Alaska has two great f1rest reserves and
now there is every probability of a third
The Alexander archipelago forest reserve IS
in the immediate vicinity of Sitka. The
Afoguak forest reservation covers a group
of islands further north and west The pro
posed reservation IS on the mainland and
its development will provide an entrance
into the interior and an opportunity to open
up many of the resources of the Kenai
peninsula.
The Kenai peninsula is an elongated area
of land lying in a general northeast and
southwest direction, almost surrounded by
the waters of Prince William sound, the
Pacific ocean. Cook inlet and Turnagain
Arm. 1t is 152 miles long it's greatest width
being rs miles, with an approximate area
of 6,4G3 square miles or 4,136.32o acres.
The word Kenai is the Russian term for
summer land. and in the early history of
the Russians occupancy the peninsula was
well-populated region, rich in furs,
Astounding in game and its waters teemed
with salmon anad other fish, its tolerable
climate and stream of penetrating water
ways Offering many inducements to these
early explorers. These resources were utl-
lied TO the utmost. The principal water
ways are Coal bay. Kussilof river and
lakes and Turnagain Arm, which almost
sewers the peninsula from the mainland and
is noted for its extremely high tides, which
rise over forty-fve feet

peninsula is being done by the Alaska Cen-
trail Railway Company's mill The Coast

Kenai Lake Mining Company, all these
companies have their own mills, and they

Saldovia, Anchor Point, Nnichek, Renal,

Fire is a serious menace to the forests OF
the mountain and plateau regions. The fire
season begins about May Is and lasts I'M
til August The first month of this period
is the most dangerous, when, as a rule, the
skies are clear and the prevailing westerly
winds dry the dead grasses. The fire once
started spreads rapidly and kills everything
in its way.
In 1885, the year of the rush to these dig
gins" fire swept up Canyon creek burning
nearly every cabin and destroying most of
the timber In the early days it was
thought and probably is in part fact that
forest fires destroyed the mosquitoes and
were set for that purpose. Now much TIM
Der is gone and the mosquitoes have re-
turned.
The extension of the railroad within the
fire area with its accumulation of tops and
forest debris along the line, adds new
menace to the living forest, especially with
woodworking engines such as are now used.
The use of spark arresters Is contemplated.
The most important event in the history
of the peninsula was the beginning of con-
struction work on the Alaska Central rail-
way to run from Seward on Resurrection

a Minister'S Story.

Heing the son Of clergyman,

al stories told in my youth. Among
them was one of divine who
preached in the city of Portsmouth
and who one summer, with his family
went to a little village on the coast
of Maine to spend his vacation.
Finding there an unused dilapidat-
ed church, he thought perhaps he
could do some good by holding serv-
ices therein. He obtained consent,
and his meetings were fully attended.
In the fall the little vessel came for
him and his family, and just as they
were leaving he saw a delegation
coming hastily over the hill and beck
on!ng to him. Thinking perhaps they
had some little testimonial for him
shore, when they handed him a bill
for the use of the church. He took
the bill, paid it, and on reaching
home framed it and hung it in his
stvdy.-Boston Herald.
