Tall Men as Weaklings.

If you are short and stoclIy, you have
cause for eongratulation; if you are tall
and lanky. woe betide you. Sir Ernest
Shackleton. in a talk before the Pilgrims
Of the United States. in New York the
other day. said the tall mans heart was
too far from his brain and his feet 10
make him a valued member of society.
The man who got nearest the south pole
has peculiar line Of reasoning. and his
logic may apply south of the eighty-sixth
degree south, but there are many who
will take issue with him when he gets
into the north temperate zone.
The argument Of the south pole explorer
is that it is too difficult for the heart TO
pump blood throughout the length of a
tall man 10 get the best results. In the
case Of the short man, the heart can de-
vote most OF its efforts to its other
functions, while the tall man has his
strength and vitality dissipated, owing
10 the unusual demands made on the
cardiac organ for the proper transmission
of the blood.
Since there are more tall than short
men, Sir Ernest will probably be called
upon many times to prove his corten-
ton. He may be able to cite historical
instances in his favor, but those of op-
posite view will also be able TO quote
authorities. All In all, we fear Sir Err
nest IS a better expIorar than he &c a

to have struck the place
The town policeman sauntered along at
last. Policemen never hurry.
What's wrong?" the stranger asked.

doned
The Irchasing price paid by the Unit

ST. 10000 At the time of the purchase
this was generally looked upon as an ex-
travagant expenditure. but ridicule at
the action of Secretary Seward in this
transaction has been changed TO a sentf-
ment that credits him with shrewd din
iomacy in thus securing this great and
.resourceful territory
Several reasons have been assigned as
TO why Russia disposed of this vast ter
ritory. It was supposed the United States
commenced the negotiations to remuner-
ate Russia, under the guise of purchase,
for her friendly attitude toward us dur
ing the civil war. Many also believe that
Russia sought to dispose of this territory
to the United States that England might
not in some way absorb it. The most
reasonable explanation is that she wished
to be relieved of the care and protection
which her subjects so constantly REQUIRED
Of her in maintaining the sembiance Of a
government.
1t was Charles Sumner who at the time
of the purchase suggested the name
Alaska. and it was a compliment in
return for his warm advocacy of the
purchase that Secretary Seward sane
toned the suggestion.

Mr.. Hitchcock's Activities.

A feeling is growing in well-informed
circles that the Hon. Frank Hitehcock's
political activities are not doing the ad-
mlnisrauon the least bit of good.
In fact, it is putting the case none too
strongly to say that it is generally be-
lieved that his activities are doing the
administration positive harm.
1t is not a pleasing spectacle TO see
the head ef great department of the
government endeavoring TO build up a
political machine or engaged in purely
partisan work of any character.
It is far from pleasing to see him
dispensing and Withholding patronage in
the dual role OF party chairman and
Cabinet oficer-far from pleasing 10 any
body but himself.
It is neither good political morals nor
good partisan politics. But it is decid-
eddy potent in engendering resentment
and adding to the troubles which beset
the administration.
President Taft needs no political ma
chine He wants none It Is ineonceiv-
able that he has given a thought TO the
building up Of such a machine. Every
body knows, who knows him at all. that
he has no love of patronage power. The
machine building is not his. It is Mr..
Hitchcock's. And a sorry piece Of con-
struction it is proving 10 be.
If Mr.. Hitchcock's activities we're
turned in another direcdon-confned to
the running of the post-office affairs of
the country. for instanee-or if he were
freed from official responsibility alto
gether by divorce from official life and
thus permitted to give undivided atten-
ton to his national craftsmanship role,
we are candidly of the opinion that the
administration would gain in popularity,
and gain speedily. It would gain also
in strength and public confidence.

he has allowed the Marathoa dancers TO

Western cities some years ago. but it soon
died out as the band that tried it went

This year. however. the dance has be-

fifteen hours continuous walrzing their

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Purchase of Alaska March 80.

I'd to March 50, 1867, when the United
States purchased Alaska, that vast ter
ritory of the northwestern part Of North
American was known as Russian Amer
lea The present name is the English
corruption of the aboriginal word al
ay-ek-sa," the great land. The reason
the Russian government claimed this
land was on account of discovery. They
sent vitus Bering. a Dane by birth, at
the head of an expedition to the north
east of the Asiatic country. In July, 174o,
he discovered a number Of islands, among
them the one bearing his name Other
expeditions followed, the explorers and
traders gradually extending their terri
tory.
The Alaskan coast was visited by Capt.
Cook in 177S, and by the spaniards at
about the same time. In ITS a Russian
company was organized to exploit the
new country Ten years later the Rus
sian-A American Company was chartered
and was granted all Russian interests IN
North America for twenty years.
From the time of the planting of the
Cars flag upon the soil Of this great
unknown country its honor was sulliod
by acts of oppression and cruelty. The
Russian-American Company established
number of trading posts. but its rule
was characterized by the most barbarous
conduct and il became so notorious that
the government refused TO recharter it
in 1862
Three years later, in 1855. the Western
Union Telegraph Company proposed TO
construct a line from san Francisco
ncrthward through the Pacific States
ard Territories to connect with the Rus
sian line at its them terminus. Amoor,
Siberia. Many n1iles Of line We're built,
but the route failed of completion be-
