In a Bad Way

Dr. A. M. Dougal, surgeon of the Carthaginian, was describing the splen- did cures of seasickness that he obtains by means of hypnotism.
 "The most violent cases yield to my treatment" said Dr. Dougal. "Yes, some very violent cases indeed have vanished under my hands. remember a particularly bad case"
 Dr. Dougal stroked his mouth to hide smile.

The question has been asked us, "Where is the Fourth Judicial diyison of Alaska, recently created by con- gress?" To answer the question in a way, without giving minute descrip- tion of the boundaries of each division, it is perhaps best to say that the act provides that the headquarters of the First division shall be at Juneau; the Second, at Nome; the Third, at Valdez: and the Fourth, at Fairbanks. One general term of court will be held each year at each place. Each of the judges is authorized to hold such special terms of court as may be necessary for the public welfare or for the dispatch of the business of the court, at such times and such places in their respect i've districts as any of them, respect ively, may deem expedient, or as the attorney general may direct

The editor of the Juneau Record, who is so ready to ascribe impure motives to others, should uot be surprised when some of the mud that he throws sticks to his fingers. Since coming to Juneau he has done nothing but stir up strife. Hatred, malice and anathema are his playthings. He is possessed of the same spirit that entered into the herd of swine. Like the dog, he returns again to bis vomit. And there shall be weeping, aud wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The Tongass forest reserve has been enlarged so as to include all of South eastern Alaska except small parcels of land near the principal towns. Even though the efforts of the department to preserve the forests is taken into consideration, there is still question as to the policy of the government ac- tion which increases the cost of the humble dwellings which the settlers in this rugged, rock bound district build for thems selves, as d protection from the clements. This is probably the the first instance iu which Uncle Sam has positively discouraged immigra, tiOn.

TO become not merely a brave soldier. but

Her heroic actions seem TO be more
than ordinarily well attested. Only a

complexion and prOtusion of black nair.
Her countenanCe is soft and pleasing and

Be a Hostess the Coming
Season, It Is Said.

Paris. - Mrs. William Ellis OoreS,
who was Mabelle Gilman, Is greatly
admired in Paris and is receiving many
social attentions. Mr.. and Mrs. Corey
were rarely seen during the height OF
the season, save at the fashionable
race meetings, but now they have be-
gun to entertain and as the inevitable
consequence when wealth is partner Of
beauty, they are being entertained.
It is entirely probable that the Coreys
will begin their social campaign next
season and that then Mrs. Corey will
be launched in the fun swim Of French
and American society. In this her
friend, Mrs. Hamilton Paine, a give
her efficient aid. Besides, the Coreys

Mr.. and Mrs. Corey have been giving

fine chateau at Vilgenis, nea Paris.
There, too, this week they gave q

.FOSSILIzED PEACOCK
NEWEST ON THE MENU
No, This Is Not Bill Of Fare,
Just Another Scientific
Discovery.

San Francisco, Special: The scien-
tific bonanza OF the archaeological re-
search workers of the University Of
California-the asphalt beds on the
Ranch La Lrea, near Los Angeles
a just produced another wonder to
the scientific world in the shape Of a
peacock, the first to be found fossilized
on this continent.
The announcement of the finding Of
the peacock, evidently one of a rare
species, has created as much interest
at the University as when Professor J.
c.. Marian announced the finding of
the asphalt beds and the discovery OF
the sabre-toothed tiger-the antedilu-
Wan predecessor of the a family.
These asphalt beds, according to
Professor Merriam, who is an authority
on primitive forms, were once the
stamping grounds of hundreds Of ami
mails o unknown to science. They
were caught in a death trap when they
strayed too closely to the oil deposits
Of the earth, and by the processes OF
age were foSsilized. .
In many respects the discovery of
the peacock eClipses the finding OF the
sabre-toothed tiger. The peacock was
found by Loye H. Miller, of the class Of
1899, of the university, Inc is believed
by the finder, who has given the bird
the name of Pava California, to be the
only specimen of its family found In
fossillZed form in the western hemi-
sphere, although it has been unearthed
in Europe and India.

The Aspen Tree,

Tn little aspen tree stands high
Upon the hill that guards the lane;
Her leaves are green as emeralds,
Her prattle is III dancing rain;
She gossips to the wind. the sky,
And we are comrades, she and /.
! climb the hill at evenfall:
She stands so high she may look down,
And whisper me IL you have turned
The winding highway from the town,
And In the winds arm bend to see
And murmur that o haste to me.
And with her hundred voices tell
Each step you take to reach my side,
And laugh In merry mockery
Pretend to scold, and weep and chide,
And stand a moment mute in grief
Then laugh with every rustling leaf.
And when at last you take my hands
And call my name In mimicry,
n chatters II a dozen times,
And then, In a and elfish glee,
Attunes her happy leaves to this
The hsping cadence OF a kiss.

Summer.

On the hill the bovine fingers
Idly chewing on her cud, ,
In the bog the frogs small fingers ,
Make soft splashes in the mud.
In the wood the buglet tarries
Meath each cool, inviting tree,
And where'er the sunlight carries
HUNS the yellow humble bee.
Now the ho~ppergrass is gayly
Skipping where the grass Is shorn,
And the caterpillar daily
Curls itself In heaps forlorn.
Down the road the toad Is busy,
Hopping gently Ger the stones,
And the windmill, tall and dizzy,
Makes its usual mournful means.

All the canned goods sit In rows,
And the farmers palms are itchin'
For the ducats In our clothes.
