GOOD ALL OVER ALASKA

Walter Geffney tells the story of a Nome man who died, and, strange as it may seem, went up to heavens gate, says the Nome Nugget. Upon arrival there. however, St. Peter refused to ad- init him. The Nome man urged his right to be admitted within the pearly gates, with all the persistence of a Nome lawyer. But Peter was adamant. Finally as last resort he threw his hat over the wall. This angered the saint who ordered the Nomeite to come in and pick up his hat. He waa permitted to look around for Q minute, and then St. Peter told him he would have to "mush." He refused to go. Just then a winged messenger came along and asked Peter what the fellow was doing in there. The messenger was told that he refused to get out. "Tll tell you how to get him out" said the celestial mer- eury. "Just go outside the gate and yell "Steam boat" and he'll go out and rubber"

A HARD.CIDER HEAD

Capt. Ryan, the new British naval attache, said at dinner in Washing ton; "The strength of the heads of some of our old-school farmers is quite incredible.
 "At harvest supper, a feast similar in its way to your Thanksgiving din ner, there was an old farmer who had drank a good deal of champagne. The moment his glass was filled he would toss it off, and then, of course, it would be filled again.
 "But the old fellow grew quieter and quieter the more champagne he drank. A frown settled on his forehead. His eyes flashed angrily under his heavy gray brows.
 "Finally when the waiter filled his glass with wine for the twelfth or thir- teenth time, he shook his head and said; James when are you going to put the whisky on the table? These mineral waters are getting tedious Washington Post.

FAT MEAT FOR WINTER BIRDS.

Almost All are Fond of Nuts and Suet'
 At this time of year birds, like do-
 nestle fowls, require fat food. Soup
 bones, after they have served their
 purpose in the kettle, may be hung in a tree or elsewhere so that cats may not get at the feathered visitors. Here the
 birds will pick away every bit of meat
 and gristle. Suet may be put in the trees this way or the carcass of a fowl,
 and blue jays nuthatches, wood peck CTS and chicadees, not to mention Eng fish sparrows, will visit this luncheon with delight.
 A correspondent of Bird Lore, writ ing from Jacksonville, H., says: Ever since I began bird study, six years ago, l have kept a simple winter table and it has been a never-failing source of pleasure and instruction to me, as well as help to my bird guests during the bad weather. We have an acre of ground around our home, and fine trees, but there are streets on all but the north side, so I chose that side for the bird table, as it is the most shell tered and at the same time affords us the best chance to watch the birds from the house. I began by tying Jumps of sUet up in small trees near
 the windows, and very soon my guests
 began to arrive. Later I devised q plan for bringing the suet eaters with in closer range I fastened rough stick, two or three inches in diameter,
 to the window shutters, across the win dow little below the middle sash, and upon this stick I tied my lump of suet.
 From that time we have had the
 pleasure all winter long of watching
 our bird nei9hbors at their luncheon while sitting at our own dining table. also fastened a Woolen tray to the sill into which we put cracked nuts and chopped suet. The most constant vsi-
 tors are the chicadees and woodpeck-
 CTS; then blue jays, titmice, juncoe5 and nuthatches, with once in a while a cardinal, Of these the chicadees and downy woodpeckers are the tamest. When the spring migrants return we find blackbirds and catbirds paronlzing the suet. Almost all the winter birds
 are fond of both nuts and suet, No
 one need even waste old or rancid nuts.
 The birds will be glad to get them"
 Another Illinois correspondent says: Last fall I hung a birdfood shelf at
 our south study window and early each morning put cracked nuts. suet and
 brdseed on it. Several tufted titmice visited it the first morning, In day
 or two junoos and chickadees came in flocks. White breasted nuthatches,
 owny and hairy woodpeckers, a white
 crowned sparrow and a red-bellied
 woodpecker were constant visitors all
 winter, often coming several times. a
 day. A. mocking bird came until the middle of December making in all nine
 kinds of birds. These birds all en- joyed the fresh fat pork I nailed to a nearby tree Bird Lore.

FRAN1 lIN.s HoNoRs


 Franklin beca le the fashion of the season. For the sourt itself dabbled in liberal ideas. So powerful was the vast impulse of free thought that then in- fluenced the mind of France-that sus- ceptible French mind that always a1- swers like the wind harp to the breath of every true human itspiration- that even the highest classes had cauht the infection of liberalism. They handled { the momentous words Liberty and Hu- man Rights in their dainty way, as if they were only al new game for their ! amusement, not Knowing what was to them the terrible import of those words. It becamel very much the ae- cepted thing at dOurt to rave about Franklin. The yoJing and lovely queen, Marie Antoinette was most winning and gracious toward him. The languid courtiers crammed natural science to talk with him. The small wits who knew a little Creek called Him Solon and Arlstides and Phocion.
 It is sad to think of the utter unoon- | sciousnes sof these amiable aristocrats. They never dreamed that thlS man Franklin was a Dortent and prophet of ruin to them, He was incarnate democracy, and they petted him.! They never imagined that in shower ing their good-natured homage upon this austere republican they were sow ing the wind which would ripen in an awful harvest of Whirlwlnds. Later, had hardly got beyond the frisky stage of their development, the queen lalnen- ted bitterly the folly of thsseoYationS to the great democrat. There was one sagacious head that was wisely shake1 over thsse indiscrations while they lasted Joseph IT,, emperor of Austria, brother to the Queen, who was in Paris on his travels, and who was as much of democrat himself as an emperor can be, when his sister reouk;d h.5 coolness. on the American question, re- piled: Madam, the trade live by is that of a royalist,'
 Court incense could not turn the phil osophic head any more than the loud 1 acclaim of the people. When Franklin found himself the honored guest of royalty, his thoughts reverted to those faraway days of boyhood when his fla ther used to quote to him, in the can dle shop at Boston, the words of the wise man: 'Seest thou 8 man in dil- igent business? He shall stand before kings" The old sage heard the echo of that paternal voice resounding over half a century and new and strange light, as fo prophecy fulfilled, illumined the immortal words. Surely no man ever lived more diligent in his business. Surely no man ever stood, with, more of the innate dignity of upright man. hood before kings. Hay s Franklin in France" in the Century.
