announcement was given out in washing
ton that negotiations between the govern
ment of the United States and that Of
Russia had been concluded whereby the
Peninsula of Alaska had been conceded to
this country in consideration OF $1,000 900
In gold the opponents of the administration
engaged in a competitive contest of derlsion
and abuse of those responsible for such a
TOOL bargain" What should we ever do
with Alaska? Even the friends of the ad-
ministration felt a little foolish because
they could not find any good answer to the
question.
But time has taken an overwhelming
vengeance upon these too confident critics
Alaska today Is the wonderland Of the
earth, the real Goconda that makes the
tabled wealth of the Nizam's diamond king
dom look like 80 cents in comparison. About

We're located in this supposedly worthless
area and during the last twelve years
more than $16O 100000 of gold has been
turned into the worlds markets from Cen

is as rich in stored coal as Pennsylvania.

gether and richer in stored copper than
Arizona, Michigan and Montana with the
Mexican mines thrown in for good measure
Alaska has as yet only been explored in
spots; it is a vast area out of which might
be carved separate land divisions as big as
France, the German empire and the Brit
ish Islands, with enough area still left
over to cover the Netherlands, Switzerland
and Portugal. 1t is a land where ProvI-
dence has scattered treasures lavishly and
the hunt for these hidden riches, which has
barely begun, will be kept up everlastingly.

CheapeninE NecessarIes.


Some daring European inventor has been
making artificial sapphires so like in every
respect to the genuine sapphires that no
test Of experts reveals any difference. This
is a saddening announcement. 1t robs the
real sapphire of its value and the owner
of his conceit In possession without hope
of redress. If it should lead the way to
cheap artificial production Of other pre-
clous stones what a tumble there would
be within the gates Of Vanity Fair! When
everybody wears diamonds who chooses,
nobody will so choose.

IN MARCH.

There's a frivolous feeling
About in the air;
The winds go carousing
Around everywhere,
And the ground hogs retreating
Before the March hare.
There's a fantastic folly
Takes hold of a feller,
Displayin' the spot
Where his top piece is meller;
And rank, musty odor
EXudes from the cellar.
There's a sigh from the willows
Now waiting to bud;
For each inch OF snow
There are fathoms Of mud,
And a thrill OF disgust
For each old winter dud.
There's a twitter of sparrows
That comes from the caves;
There's a chill in the sunshine
That rudely deceives;
And a rakish abandon
About last years leaves.
There's an impish incentive,
A longing to rove;
There's q hint Of a tumult
Abroad In the grove;
And a down and out" air
That turks round the stove,
There's a longing TO burst
An cur shackles and flee
To the uttermost bounds
OF the earth and the sea;
And we, feel work Is not what
It's cracked up to be.
There's a rambunctious thought
That sets In vibration
All the strings Of our hearts 2
with a foolish elation;
And that TambunOtiOus thought
is the thought of vacation.

MANY years ago I used to sit at

dull. A physician suggested that [
swallow spoonful of sand three
times a day until my attacks passed
away. tried the experiment, and it
worked. Within two months I was
cured. Today, within ten minutes
after eating spoonful, I am capable
Of any work, and think work

Some of the hats obtained are mar

some of them are extremely rare
specimens. In some cases Colonel
Knox had to buy his specimens out
of museum collections and they cost
great deal when obtained in that
way. He had set out to make as COM

however, and where a hat was needed
to fill in a gap in time or to repre-
sent progression in the art of making
hats, he did not stop to consider the
price.
Another difficulty he had to over
come was the territory covered in OBJ
tanning the hats, for certain sections
Of the country had their distinctive
styles, and he found 1t necessary oc-
casionally to send a special agent to
some point to get the coveted speci-

and some in variegated colors. and
