If the Post-Intelligencer quoted Gov. Hoggast correctly our chief executive said s week or two ago that territor- al government had been disposed of for 10 wears to come. That is very rash statement. It is not at all unlikely that long before that time shall have passed the people who are now directing affairs fn the national legislative halls will have given place 10 others who think more of republican form of gov erpment and less of the enjoyment of power.

The Sitks Cablegram differs with the Daily Alaskan ss to the propriety of introducing party politics in Alaska. It says If we had democratic and re- publican organizations fighting for supremacy in the district neither one would care to go on record as opposing seli-governmeut for the district, the inference being that such would give the other party too great an advantage in the battle for control.

"OhI have my duties. Papa could not
get on without me. Besides, never firt.
Marriage and love and all that, my broth

"Yes: have studied the question. You

NO ONE EVER STARvEs.
This Was Asserted by q Doctor Who
Died After Fasting.

This Was Asserted by a Doctor Who
Died After Fasting.
DR.. Richard A. Terhune, the dean Of
the physicians of Passaic, N. j., by
whom he was always spoken of affec-
tionately as Doctor Dick" died there
Of intestinal cancer. He had not eaten
anything for over a month, and to the
last bantered his brother practitioners
on the fact that he was living exam
pie of his pet theory that no one would
lie of starvation if he had plenty Of
water to drink, says the New York
Times.
DR.. Terhune had always declared,
and would argue on the subject when
ever he had an opportunity, that per-
sons who had died of what is called
starvation were really the victims Of
fright, and had simply died because
they were afraid they would and not
from lack of food.
The aged physician, who was stall
wart man, became ill about seven
months ago. He speedily diagnosed his
ailment as intestinal cancer. and gave
out fatal prOgnOsis of his own case.
All the Passaic physicians and scores
more from the neighboring towns and
cities called on him in the months of
his illness, and many suggestions as to
treatment were made to him. He turn.
ed a deaf ear to all and only employed
such palliative measures as suggested
themselves to himself and his son, DIR.
Percy A. Terhune.
About five weeks ago, doctor Dick"
'ound that he could no longer retain
lood, and he gave up eating. Since that
time nothing had passed his lips except
water, and now and then little medi-
cine.
On Saturday night several physicians
dropped in to see him, and he took the
opportunity to enlarge upon his nom
starvation theory.
"You see," he began, with a smile,
81 cannot retain anything but water,
and yet am strong and able to move
freely about in bed l am proving my
old theory that no one ever really dies
Of hunger. So-called death from hunger
is simply due to terror, if there is plen-
ty Of water to be had.
II will call to your attention the
case Of a young girl that came under
my own observation. She was Ill with
q disease which was pronounced incur
able by skilled physicians. That girl
did not eat anything for orty-eight
days except half a soda cracker day.
Did she die? Not bit of 1t. On the
contrary, she. got entirely well, and in
the forty eight days when she did not
eat she pursued the even tenor of her
way, went to parties and danced, too.
"You know very well that doctors
don't know SO very much, after all"
continued the old physician, shaking
an admonishing finger at his auditors.
Mature does the work and we get the
credit"
After bidding goodnight to his cali
rers, Doctor Dick" went quietly 10
sleep and died at 80 o'clock the next
morning.

CHAPTER VIII.


If there had been any doubts enter
tanned or discussed as to the presenta-
bility of Claud Tyars in polite circles,
these were destined to an instant re-
moval when that individual entered the
drawing room of No. los Brook street.
His dress, If it erred at all, did so on
the side of too scrupulous adherence to
the latest dictates of society. His man
ners were those of travelled and expe-
rienced gentleman. That is to say, he
was polite without eagerness, pleasant
without gush, semi-interested, semi-indif-
ferent.
Oswin Grace advanced to meet him
with a quick glance of satisfaction at his
irreproachable get-up, which Tyars show
ed no signs of having detected.
The necessary introductions were
made, and Tyars displayed the same per-
feet knowledge of social habits up to
date. His bow was pure and simple, and
to the Admiral he offered his hand in a
calm, decisive way, which somewhat in
terfered with the old gentleman's digni-
fed coldness.
II think" said Helen at once, with a
characteristic desire to make things pleas
ont, "that we have met before"
She was looking up at Tyars, who,
being very tall, stood head higher than
any one in the room, and in her eyes
there was no speculation, no searching
into the recesses of her memory. The re-
mark was without interrogative hesita-
ton. 1t was the assertion of fact we'll
known to her, and yet her color changed.
"Yes," answered Tyars; II had the
pleasure of dancing with you on several
occasions at the Commemoration three
years ago."

He did not seem to think it worth
while mentioning that his name was on
the books of the sister university.
What a good memory you have, Mr..
Tyarsw observed Miss Agnes Winter in
a smooth, soft voice. Perhaps you can
help mine. Have we met before? know
your face"
He turned to her with a smile In which
there was no light of dawning recollec-
ton.
Hardly" he replied. But you were

the stalls at performance Of Hamlet

Tho Carroll Twins.

Of little boys, who looked so much alike
that their mother had been known to
mistake one for the other. There was
one wee difference, however-the differ
ence of dimple. Because of this, they
were often called the "Twin-with-a-
Dimple'' and the "Other Twin" and
people would make them laugh in or
der to tell which was which.
One day they went on an errand
across the city. A cherry-tree hung
over the sidewalk, and the Twin-with-
a-Dimple gave jump, and his hand
came down with cluster Of bright red
cherries in it. Then he heard little
noise the other side of the hedge, and
he darted round the corner.
The Other Twin was not quick enough
to escape long arm that reached right
through the hedge and clutched him.
Then a tall, thin woman peered over,
and said sharply, $50 it's you that's
been stealing my cherries, Is ity'
mo, ma'am," answered the Other
Twin, tremblingly.
The woman stared at him. There
were no cherries in his hand, no stains
on his lips. 1t was strange.
1.-THE face 1 saw above the hedge
looked exactly like yours" said the
woman. Are you sure you didn't pick
any?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied the Other Twin,
and he seemed SO honest that the wom-
an believed him.
WAS there another boy?" she asked
Eyes, ma'am," came truthfully from
the frightened twin.
'Well, l wish I'd caught the right
one" said the woman, and then she let
the Other Twin go.
When the n-with-a-Dimple heard
his brothers story, he told him that
he must do the errand alone, while he
would go back to explain to the cherry
woman.
So the Twin-with-a- Dimple said to
the woman, I'm sorry l picked that
bunch Of cherries. didn't stop to
think that they belonged to anybody.
will pay you for them as soon as l
can earn some pennies"
But you just told me it wasn't you
who did it !" exclaimed the cherry wom-
an.
mo, ma'am-yes, ma'am, 1 mean,"
stammered the MISUNDERSTANDING
that was my brother"
"Oh, it was your brother that took
them was it?'
mo, ma'am," and the Twin-with-a-
Dimple struggled hard not to show it.
Il mean picked the cherries. My
brother has gone on the errand, and 1
have come back to tell you how sorry
I am"
But why didn't you say soT she
asked.
Because 1 wasn't there. 1t wasn't
BEFORE" and his dimple showed prettily
now. You see, we look just alike"
II declare! Are you the Carroll
twins?'
Yes, ma'am, we are"
well, well! You're real little gen.
tleman to come and own up. I won
der if you wouldn't like to pick some
cherries for me. If you will, you may
have all you can eat"
So when the Other Twin came back
he found his brother up in the tree.
and for the first time they had all the
cherries they wanted.-Youth's Com
panion.

In the meantime Lieut.. Grace had re-
sister a warm welcome.
Without announcement Of any descrip-
ton he made his way from the Admiralty
to Brook street and knocked at his faith
er's door. He found the old gentleman
and Miss Helen Grace engaged in the

Well, I reckon It's nice
To be growed up tall,
To be a big man,
And to know 1t all;
To be able to boss

And everything see;
To have your own cash,
And spend it, too;
An have nobody say
