sPiTzeERoEN HUNTING GOOD.

1t is getting to be fad among
Partisan sportsmen to join the Nor
wegian hunting parties which start
for the far northern seas every
spring and bring back big bags of
out of the way game. These expe-
ditions embark in sloops of from 80
to so tons, each carrying a crew
eight or ten men. They usually
sail from the northern and north
western parts of Norway. Tromso
is the chief point of departure.
Oftenest they make for Spitzbergen,
but sometimes they cruise as far as
the eastern coast of Greenland.
Twenty-one boats sailed from Tom
so in the spring of 1906. This is the
record of the booty they brought
back: 296 white bears, of which &c
were alive; 1876 walrus, including
three living ones 4,494 mitred seals,
1875 bearded seals and 572 common
seals; 1856 white whales, 2sS rein
deer; one narwhale; 81 blue foxes,

THE REPUBLICAN emphatically denies
the truthfulness of this report in so
far as it refers to any desire or need
for an independent" paper In Logan.
There may be some doddering idiot,
or q bunch OF half.baked corpuscles,

they want-it's a basely subservient

WILL MAKERS wHlMs.

The late #. Bevan, one time NJ.
p. for Gravesend, who directed in
his will that his body should be
cremated and the lash residue
ground 10 powder and again burned
and dissipa.ed in the air" is one
of many men (and women) who
have made equally remarkable ar
rangements for the disposal Of their
mortal remains.
An angler who died recently di-
rected that his ashes should be car
ried in a bait can and scattered
from boat over the surface of his
favorite stream; Mrs. Ernle-E
Drax directed that her body should
be embalmed and placed in a glass
paneled coffin, for the reception of
which circular mausoleum with
stained glass dome was to be built

one of the Lords Marlborough, after
IL months interment, was exhumed

A CHANGE NEEDED.

1.-The contentious OF The REPUBLI.
CAN are absolutely right In principle"
said q prominent Republican official
on Monday. "You are only saying
what we have all said to each other
during the last several years. Whether
your saying 1t will do any good, l
don't know" Nor does THE REPUB.
LICAN know-it only hopes that the
holding up of an ideal will have its
effect for good.
A gentleman OF Logan, after riding
thirty miles over rough roads, came
into the Office the other day and said
he had a suggestion to make. When
asked what 1t was, he said: "Give
'em hell about the roads, and then
ask 'em why they don't quit trying to
make roads in the way that has I'M
questionably proved a failure the past
thirty years? Ask 'em why they
simply continue to pile the mud high

BROUGHT PLATTERY TO BEAR
Persians Acted shrewdly In Effort to
Save Comrade Who Had
Been lndiscreet.

A modern instance of the quick
ness of Persian wit was told me by
a missionary physician Of Teheran,
says a correspondent. Whatever the
estimate in which the missionary
who deals with the soul or with the
mind may be held, the missionary
who deals with the body is always
regarded with respect not I'M
mingled with awe. To him is given
the title of "The Wise Man."
One day DR.. - was passing the
house of wealthy Persian. Sew
eral servants sat at the gate. With
one exception they all knew the 'ec.
tor, and, rising, saluted him nth
great respect. The stranger made
some insulting remark about the
"frangi" and spat at the foreigner.
DR.. - instantly stopped, and or
dered that the young man be
brought to him. Two of the serv-
ants, .seizing their companion by the
shoulders, hurried him forward, and
when they reached the DOCTORS car
riage one of them said: "Oh, Chief
of the Wise Men, this boy is an
idiot whom our master has brought
here from a distant province, think
ing that you alone have the skill to
cure him."

Clever Autograph FIend.

Hall Caine has a great horror Of
the autograph hunter, but during his
latest visit to America he was trapped
by a willy collector in a very curious
way. One day porter at the hotel
brought him registered letter. He
signed the receipt, and was then
asked to sign second paper, which
he was told had to be returned to the
sender of the letter. New to American
ways, he did SO, and when he opened
the letter found 1t to be note Of
thanks for his autographs, which he
had. OF course, appended to the paper.

BAN JOHNSON
ISSUES STATEMENT

Cincinnati Dec. 20.--"Wo will not side
step trouble with the American Associa-
uon in fact. VIC are rather courting H.
This bold statement was made by Presi-
dent Ban Johnson OF the American
League during his short stay in cincin-
natl yesterday.
The American League at it's recent
meeting adopted a resolution against per-
mitting tho American Association 60 place
a team in Chicago, and that resolution
will bar them out unless they decide tn
turn outlaws-and then they will have 10
fight
ut seems odd TO me, however. that men
like Cantillon, manager OF the Mlnnea-
polls club, should tell how he is going
10 strengthen his team by buying players
from Washington. Why doesn't he wast
until the American Association breaks
away from the national agreement by on
tering Chicago. and then take all the
players he wants. not only from Wash
ington, but also from other clubs for
nothing?
There are several American Associa-
ton club owners who are not in sympo-
thy with this movement IL IL really has
taken the proportions that the Chicago
dispatches say 1t has. Whether these
men would go with tho other clubs In
case the association turned outlaw is
matter of speculation.
However. i'm case OF a war IL would
not be a difficult matter TO secure hnan-
cial backing for teams in American As
ISOLATION cities 10 run in opposition 10
tho outlaws. and that may be done in
case the alleged insurrection becomes a
reality"
THE American Association will not be
allowed TO enter Chicago" declared Chair
man Hermann OF the national commits
sion. unless the National and American
Leagues give their consent
II don't care TO discuss these reports
from Chicago until there has been some
official notification of the alleged inva-
sion. j had a talk with President Bryce
OF the Columbus Club. and others in the
east last week. and they assured me that
there was nothing in these yarns.
THE American League has gone on
record as opposing the admission OF the
American Association TO Chicago, and /
am sure the National League also would.
IF tho American Association has any
grievance / feel that they would come
10 us with II rather than take the arbi-
trary action with which they are cred
ited The entire story looks to me like
piece OF imagination without airy founda-
ton in faot'
