Miss Hattie Burdette Painting
Miniature of Beautiful Child

Miss Hattie E Burdette. who has thus
far passed the summer in the city.
IS now engaged upon an interesting
miniature portrait Of a beautiful child.
To- have the opportunity Of working
from such an attractive subject is an
inspiration for any true lover OF minia-
t,lre work The model IS a child with
golden hair. attractive blue eyes, and
features of marked beauty. In the pose
selected the head is slightly turned,
the eyes have an expression Of wonder
ment as though deeply interested. and
vet slightly puzzled concerning the
events OF the occasion
It IS one of those subjects over which
any artist may we'll ponder. and ask
the question whether Il Is possible 70

and promises not only an excellent Por-
trait, but a work OF great beauty and

SPEAKS OUT
C Y. HOggatt "A Coward and HypOcrits"
(FairbaukS Times .Jor,s,s bzS anolOuiZed.

Gov. Hoggatt has spologized.
 He has come cut publicly and SaiC that he regretted having spoken of th' men of Alaska who wanted terrl'oria government as saloon men and buns,
 This did uol come from him, however until public opinion had. shamed him tt the action.'
 His apology is not sincere.
 According to the press dispatches of last evening it is seen that, smartins . from the criticism of the press snc friends of Alaska, he has said, that haC he known that his communication tt the president was to be made public ht would have been more polite.
 This brands Coy. Hoggatt as a hypo- crite, for DO man who is honest ant sincere and fearless ID stand be ha: taken will retract from the belief ne has advanced and put On record.
 When he assailed the vo'erS in tht: territory in a mlssive to the Presiden' be las played ' double part, by his owr admission, for he penped his letter fo' the purpose of quietly iurthering the little clique of office holders who teal they may be weaned from their paF if self government is given to th-' territory.
 He felt safe in meeting his tello" Alaskans anI discussing the needs o' the country, Nelieving that what F' truly desired was to be accomplished b! 8 secret method.
 Thec came the denolement with th' publication of his letter. Had hls intentions been genuine he would hav' stood by his guns. Bur the man wh' is & hypocrite IS a coward and NIT. Hog gatt, when ha was faced with th' charge ottn:ulJing the voters Oi Alaska a,OlUgized; with the qualification tha he would not have spoken sS he di' had he known the letter was 10 b. made pubic.

 This double-tacei policy canno endure. His very action iu this ma''' vii again revive the be iet that ] Es -Spoaersn are still with Us.
