the failure to effect a settlement

the Indians because the railway

OVER JEALOUS AOHERENTs.

Washington dispatches state that Justice Wright, who wrote the decis ion sentencing Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, the labor leaders, to jail fer contempt of court, has received hun dreds of letters threatening his life.
 This sort of thing will not help the cause of labor. There is no doubt that the three men named were in contempt of court. They may or may not have had valid reasons for their action. Trying to influence legisla- tion or court decisions by threats is pure anarchy and will react against labor. It has already suffered suffi- ciently by over jealous adherents.

TRYING OUT A LOVER,

A weeping girl in Atchison, Kan, wishes she hadn't steeped herself in Laura Jean Libby so completely, and a relieved young man is glad she did,
 The man left Atehison on an i'm. portant business trip and on reaching his destination 500 miles away re- ceiyed telegram from his financee saying, Something unexpected has happened. must see you without delay" He took the next train back to Atchisou, where the girl met him at the station. lie had expected to find her in tears, but she radiated sunshine, Throwing her arms about his neck she whispered: "oh, honey! that telegram was only to see if you would do anything for your little girl Now I know, and We will be married as soon as you wish.
 The young man, aside from the business loss her action entailed, was angry that she had to try out his love and his loyalty in this way, He told her there would be no marriage and  went his way, happy in finding out before marriage the extreme folly of the girl.
 In the days of chiyalry when Courts of Love were held to try knights for minute miraculous of the code of Cupid, test of this nature would have been mild and inconse- Quent. Men of station had nothing to do, in those days, but fight and make love, The peasants worked and were pinaged for it.
 Nowadays, man shows his love for a girl, his deeper affection for his wife, by working for her, not by com posing ballads to her eyebrows. He fights, too-harder, longer, ortener. He has her photograph in the lid of his watch instead of her ribbon on his helmet. He doesn't go jousting, either, with a gallery of ladies watch ing the tournament He fights real fights, day after day, with his pen for spear, figuring out plans to make a little more money to give her greater. luxuries and greater happi, ness. The pallid little clerk in his shiny suit of clothes is often ten times as heroic figure as the knight in his armor.
 The modern man doesn't need to be set tasks to prove his love. He lives it every day. And all the day Cleveland Leader,

SOME RANDOM REMARKS CON cERNlNG THE PLANET WE lN- HABIT.

When severe and successive earthquakes destroyed the cities of Messina and Reggie in Sicily few days past hundreds of the survivors made no effort to save themselves; but fell to praying, firmly believing the world was coming to an end. We, among Alaska'S rock bound hills. pitied those people and probably smil, ed at their belief. But was it so far fetched, after all?
 We are prone to think the world has gone on forever-that it will go on forever; yet the merest knowledge of science shows this to be false, The relative thickness of the earth's solid crust isno greater than the peel of an orange as compared to the orange. We are living on the thin peel of the orange. Inside this peel IS a seething mass of molten material surging and struggling to escape. Now and then as it boils over, the the elastic crust of the earth expands and earthquakes result Occasionally the frey mass escapes through some volcano and destroys all it touches. Is it altogether beyond the realms Of fancy that some day the boiling mass within may shatter the earth to an extent which will destroy hu- manity? Ever since history records earthquakes and volcanoes have de. srOyed life, upheaved islands, or in inundated great stretches of territory. In the past two weeks there has been a renewal of earthquakes and volcanic activity in different quarters Of the globe
 Nor is our only source of danger from within. Thousands upon thou. sands-nay. millions upon millions of comets, worlds and planets are hur, ling through space, many of them at a speed of 100000 miles minute Some of these worlds are vastly lar. ger than ours. What would happen i a collision should occur? We would pass away in some form of yapor- that's all. Astronomers have esti- mated that our chances of collision with another world are slight-there's comfort in that
 So far We have been dealing merely with possibilities. The seething mass within MAY rend the world to frag- ments-we MAY collide with another sphere. But science teaches us that it is only question of time-a few million years more or less-when the world Is CERTAIN TO CEASE ITS MOTION. When it does human life will not be possible on this planet.
 The whirling of the world is a given motion-just as a boy sets a top spinning-aud eliminating the re- tardiug action of friction. astronomers have computed that the attraction of the moon for the waters of the earth, which results in their surging against the western coasts of the world as tides, while the world is spinning from west to east. is acting as brake on the world and already has slowed its motion to no Inconsistent ble extent Ultimately this will stop the worlds motion entirely. This theory was first worked out by Elm manuel Kant, the German philosopher and astronomer, and all modern scien lists concur in it's truth.
 What's Che moral? There is none in particular. But this old world is not as stable as we think, nor will it endure to the utmost reaches of eterr, ity. In the light of modern science the ending of the world is not alto gether a superstitious belief.
