If of more value you have to go yourself to the wrapping counter and claim your own package. There are no floor walkers and you have to depend on the clerks for lirec- tions.

 But to return to Esperanto: The Kara Majstro, Dr. Zamenhof has been allowed to sec in his lifetime the fruits of his wonderful invention, a fruition often denied the benefactors of man kind in the realm of invention. For many years he feared to give it to the public, not realizing the power and extent of his own work. Finally he put it forth under the name of Dr. Esperanto (the hoper).
 It was found to be built on a stable foundation and step by step it has spread until now 1t has foothold in almost every land. England sent 5S5 representatives and France and Ger many a very large quota. The king of Spain by his special representative, Captain Perogordo, presented Dr. Za- menhof the Order of 1sanella the Cath ollie. King Alfonso is much in favor of Esperanto, and number of the rulers of other countries look with favor on it's introduction into the schools. That is one of the best meth ods of propaganda work. Every Es- perantist should be and generally Is a propagandist, and like the result of one small pebbles fall into the water the ripple of interest spreads out and finally circles the world.

Whitt's friends, knowing they were look

When Deck Whit saw his enemies he
pulled a pistol and killed Harper and

fifty bullets.

PUTS BURDEN
OF ALASKA ON SELF
ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR CONTROLLER BAY.
President Declares His Brother Does Not
Remember Ever Having Met Rich
ard Ryan.

Washington.-Presiden Taft sent n
special message to the Senate Wednes-
day shouldering full responsibility for
opening for settlement and development
$500 acres of the Chugach national for
est reserve in Alaska-an incident which
has become to be known as the Con
troller Bay Affair" In concluding, he
brands the now famous "Dick to Dick"
postscript as a "wicked fabrication" and
says that Charles P. Taft, whose name
appeared in the alleged postscript, has
no interest in Alaska, never had and
knows nothing of the circumstances IN
nected with this transaction" Moreover,
the President adds, his brother does not
even remember that he ever met Rich
ard S. Ryan, representing the Controller
Railway & Navigation Company.
AS for eliminating the land in ques.
ton from the reserve, the President says
that there is no danger Of the Controller
Railway & Navigation Company or any
other interests menopoIizing the field,
and nothing to show that this company
is in any way connected with the Nor
gan-Guggenheim interests. Hence, he be-
lieves that in eliminating the land he has
acted for the best interests of the nation.
81 wish to be as specific as possible
upon this point" says the President in
his message, "and to say that I alone am
responsible for the enlargement of the
proposed elimination from 800 acres to
1880 acres, and that I proposed the
change and stated my reasons therefor.
The thing which the Territory of Alaska
needs is development, and where rights
and franchises can be properly granted
to encourage investment and construct a
railroad without comforting exclusive
privileges, l believe it to be in accordance
with good policy to grant them"

Not Sufficiently Eager.

A little miss of five years was under
the ban Of disobedfence. She had been
told to put away her playthings, as 1t
was near bed time. She did not obey
the demand, and, when forced to do
so gave way to a p%etulant display of
temper. Her father, who was up
stairs, heard the commotion, and, be-
ing made acquainted with the cause,
summoned the child to his presence.
Irma started to the stairs, but sud-
denly made a turn, dashed along the
hall, and out Of the house. OF course
she was soon captured, but her excite
ment was so great that she was put to
bed at once. Mothers effort soothed
the child and then she was asked:
why did you run away when your
father called you?" The reply came
promptly enough: you don't sup
pose, mamma, that I wanted a whip
ing bad enough to go upstairs after
it?"

TELLS OF DEAL IN
TENNESSEE COAL
ITS ABSORPTION BY o. S. STEEL
AVERTED PANIC.
Brother of the Late M. A. Hanna Denies
Plot, and Says 1t Was a Legiti-
mate Transaction.
Copyright l9ll.i

New York.-No Interior motive lurked
behind the taking over of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company by the United
States Steel Corporation during the
financial panic of 1907, in the opinion
of L. c.. Hanna of Cleveland, one Of the
syndicate owners of the Tennessee CON
Germ before the merger, and who spent
Friday on the witness stand before
the steel trust investigating committee
Of the house of representatives.
The surreptitious motives had been
suggested Mr.. Hanna, who is a brother
of the late Senator Mark Hanna, admit
ted, but he never credited the reports. He
believed the transaction was necessary
to avert the failure of the New York
banking and brokerage firm of Moore &
Schley, who held too much Tennessee
Coal and Iron stock as collateral for
loans, and to avert widespread threat
ening business disaster.
In answer to a series of questions by
Representative Beall of Texas, Mr.,
Hanna said he thought the congressman
believed a plot had been formed where
by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany would be gobbled up by the steel
interests, but he had no knowledge OF
such a plot, and did not credit such an
idea.
