How We secured Alaska.

Some people seem to have absorbed
the notion that we acquired Alaska
because England threatened to recog-
nize the Southern confederacy and we
must make friends with the MuSco-
vite." Inasmuch as the territory was
not bought until two years after the
unciVil war this contention would
scarcely hold Russia and England
had been trying to establish a boundry
between the northwest territory and
Siberia for nearly half century. Nu-
merous commissions failed. Each side
wanted to hog everything. Seward
saw a chance to butt in and buy the
land in dispute, leaving an opening for
a future adjustment of differences.
Thirty years later we seem to have
pleased both sides, and all strifes are
ended-for the present. We had only
two differences, as a matter of fact
to adjust, namely, the seal fisheries
and the Klondike gold regions.-New
York Press.

BowsER's GREAT SPEECH.
1t Was Written Out. But He Failed to

For the last two weeks Mrs. Bowser
has had a careful eye on Mr.. Bowser
in the direction of politics. She did
not fail to note that as the campaign
drew towards its close that he was I'M

into politics. He read political arti-
Giles; suspicious men called to see him
in the evening; on several occasions
she heard him muttering to himself,
as if getting off a speech. 1t was policy
for her to say nothing and continue to
watch.
When Mrs. Bowser came home from
the office the other evening Mrs. Bow
ser knew that some sort of a climax

great mass meeting of electors, but he
didn't He was non-communicative
and carried puzzled air after dinner,

The story of How Canada was
Won," has recently been rehearsed in
thrilling pageant before thousands of
English, French and Americans at the
tercentenary celebrations in Quebec.
Even more thrilling is the tale of Wolfe
and Quebec entitled "How Canada
was Won" written by Captain F. S.
Brereton-upon whom the mantle of
Henty seems to have fallen and
clothed him with a power greater than
his-which Messrs. H. M. Caldwell
company of New York and Boston
will punish this fall. In his graphic,
vivid and powerful manner. he relates
the events that led up to the conquest
of Canada, and to the supremacy of
the Anglo-Saxon race in the New
World. The hero is one of a party
of British trapperS who have suffered
at the hands of the French and In
dams. He is appointed captain of a
band of scouts by Washington, with
whom he goes through many thrill
ing experiences in the defence of Fort
William Henry. After several hair
breadth escapes he is made prisoner
and taken to Quebec. whence he es-
capes by means of the steep cliffs and
by the aid of his former companions
the scouts. He is just in time to join
the British force in the attack upon
Louisbourg. and afterwards takes a
very important part in the capture of
Quebec. The illustrations by w.
Rainey, R. l., add to the historical
value as we'll as to the interest of the
book.
/ Charles Hanford Henderson's lee
lures at Harvard and elsewhere, his
| boys camp in New Hampshire, and
the new school which he is starting
| in California on strictly Hellenic lines,
have made him one OF the foremost
] figures in the educational world The
amazing success four years ago of his
quiet-hued, easy-going, roundabout
novel, John Percyfield," placed him
among the leading American novelists.
His new book, 1.-THE Lighted Lamp"
presents his whole philosophy of life
| in the guise of an engrossing novel;
the Wanderjahr of a narrow minded
young man and the broadening of his
experience. Mr.. Henderson has been
at work on it for four or five years
past, and it was written partly in his
chambers in Boston, partly while
travelling in India. partly in his bun
galow in California, and partly in his
New Hampshire camp. 1t went into
third printing before publication.
