Keeping Ii Secret.

Papa and mamma were laughing at
q joke on gran'pa and little Tommy
was keeping close tabs. Gran'pa's
name is Noah Brown.
Little Mollie Smith was asked at
Sunday school who built the ark.
She didn't know and was told to
have the answer by the following Sum
day. Her mother instructed her.
Noah built the ark" she said. Noah.
The same name as Mr. Brown. His
name is Noah Brown. You know that
don't you? You've seen his name
above his store. Just remember Mr..
Brown, and then you'll think of Noah. :"
And very naturally when Mollie was
asked the following Sunday who built
the ark she answered promptly: Mr.
Brown built 1t. He lives right next
door to U.S."
That's the story papa told mamma,
and when she laughed Tommy was
anxious to see the point. Presently
his face lit up. II know it," he
cried. "Gran'pa built it all right; but
he doesn't want everybody to know
it." $500 las

4 Mr.. Ptnchot says that "if the nigh,
had not been made. the Cunningham
claims would have been patented long
ago. and by this time coal monopoly
in Alaskn would have been an assured
fact. Tho vigorous attempts made
during the Investigation by counsel
for the Interior Department to show
that the claims were valid leaves lit
| tie doubt that they would have been
patented had the Administration been
| allowed to proceed. II is just ms we'll,
however, to walt for a word from tho
Administration before accepting this

the case fully, and that the claims
have been disallowed after the evil
dence that has been obtained in an
orderly way We are quite willing
that Mr.. Pinchot should have all the
credit to which he is fairly entitled ;
but we really do not believe that he
has done the whole thing. or that the
claims would have been allowed by
the Interior Department after the in
vestisation Commissioner bennett has
made. acting under the authority and
by direction of that Department..
Now that the Cunningham claims

Secretary Fisher does mot believe

laws Will be modified at the next ses-
sion Of Congress. SO as to permit the

under provisions that Will more ade-
quately protect and promote the pub

tinue the Investigations that have re-
suited SO disastrously to the Cunning

fraudulent claims he can find. This.
we suppose. he Will do without the as
