writes Albert B,gelow Paine in Harpsr's
Magazine, he had the machine and was
practlcing on It Dec. .. 1874, for he wrote
two letters on It that day. one to Howells
and the other to orion Clemens. In the
latter he says:
IT am trying to get the hang OF this
new tangled writing machine. but am
not making a shining success OF It,
However. this Is the first attempt ever

shall soon easily acquire a fine facility
in it's use. l saw the thing In Boston
the other day and was greatly taken

He goes on TO explain the new wonder.
and on the whole his first attempt Is q

believes II Is going TO be a great help TO

began life as an apprentice to barber
surgeon. For. in those days. the art
of surgery was practised only by bar
bers. farriers. cobblers and tlnkers. 1t
was regarded below the dignity of a
Gentleman and scholar to handle the
lancet or take care OF wounds. The
surgeons In the armies had to act also
as BARRIERS to the higher officers OF the
army. II may have been very fine to
be shaved by a surgeon. but It must
have been very awkward to be operated
on by a barber.
During his apprenticeship Pare be-
came a student at the Hotel Dieu and
later a pupil OF the renowned anat-
omist. Sylv!us. He was a very prof.
cient student In anatomy. for he soon
afterward became his teachers assist
ant.
After his appointment to the post Of
army surgeon he soon became famous
for the skill with which he executed his
operations and for new and original
methods. He was the first surgeon to
invent the method Of ligating or tyins
large arteries. In this way he saved
the lives OF thousands of soldiers who
were otherwise doomed to death from
bleeding or blood poisoning. He In.
vented the operation for the correction
Of harelip, In use to the present day.
Ambroise Pare was not recognized by
the doctors OF his own day. But he
wrote many books on anatomy and sur
gerry. which were later translated into
other languages and studied by physi.
clans all over the world.
Pare's skill as q surgeon endearet
him not only to the men of tho army
The King OF France held him in grea'
| esteem for his ability and smployet
him as his own physician. During tn,
night OF the great massacre OF st. Bar
| tholomew. when thousands OF Hugue
nots were killed, the life OF Pare. wht
was also a Huguenot, was saved
through the personal exertlons OF thu
King himself.
| Pare placed surgery upon the pedesta
OF a dignifed art. and from his day l
progressed slowly, till to-day II has be
come the highest branch OF medical al
and science. Pare died In France II

ALASKA SEMl-CENTENNIAL PRO

 The Pacific Northwest is partiaa- larly interested in the propo- d Al aska Semi-Cenfennial Exposition r. be held al Fairbanks June 2o. O October k, 1917. A bill now i- pending in congress providing for government sanction of an eNpost tion corporation and Tor department appropriations and exhibits.
 The bill was introduced in fhc house by Delegate James Wick r. sham and sets forth ,hat ".he a,- tual production of the sea. fur and mineral resources of Alaska since the purchase ol that grear territory by the United Stares in 1>U7 Ha, announced 10 more than $446.oUu- o00; that American Iao0r and cap ital have created in Alaska an addi- tional development of wealth greater than $Go00o.ooo;" and Ina, in L. years. by its cash produ "ous cN. ported to the United States and is development of railroads, mines. fish. cries. telegraph cable and telephone lines, farms and homes, Alaska Ha~ created wealth of d greater value jhan $1,ooo.ooo,o0o," but that its re. sources are ntue known or apple ciated in the United States"
 Alaska needs exploiting. and th, government, in view of the figure cited above. could well afford to make liberal appropriation and take an active par, in the Semi-Ccut IT, nial. This is the first time that the North has called upon the States for aid in any such undertaking. and only once - at the Alaska-Nukon- Pacific exposition. held in Seattle in 1909 - has there been any real ti- fort to give Alaska a hearing in d great international exposition.
 There is good reason to believe that an Alaskan exposition would b. a success, though the total attend  ance might be small, compared with exposit ons in more deusely pogu- lated country. The Northern terri tory would have much that is unique to show the visitor, and the people, and the matchless scenery and the delightful water voyage would allure many to make the trip 10 Fairbanks A successful fair would doubtless stimulate activity in the Norjhland and would aid in bringing about the square deal Alaska has not always received in the past. IL would also tend to draw into American territory thousands who are now migrating in to Canada.-Tacoma Ledger

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
TWO CANDIDATES.

Quite few are of the opinion that America k "disgraced" by this squabble between d presiden, aud ex-president. and that the dignity of the office" has been sadly mussed.
 IL is somewhat difficult 10 imagine. however just how the two men could have escaped this personal controversy. The only justification of MT. Rooseyelts candidacy lies in his flat assertion that Mir. Taf' be trayed his Friendship, deserted pro gressive principles, and lent his a5d to the slaughter of the socalled Roosevelt policies" Insomuch as MT. Taft denies this. and is making his campaign as d progressive" the question of yeracity is inevitably raised, and the matter of issues nat- urally rcyolyes around this purely personal situation.
 Al this writing MT Tafr would seem 10 be hop 1essly out of the iAAl4!HS- IT IS IOt so luUtu that ne lacks the requisite number of dele gates - for his pledges are still in excess of the Roosevelt claims but rather that he has been definitely repudiated by his party in every state that has held direct primary. Even his own state-Ohio-ha turn cd against him. and has agreed with MT. Roosevelt in the assertion that Mir. Taft has proved false to his VOWS and trust.
 In view of these happenings. it does not seem possible that MT Taft's friends will present his name to the convention. for even though he should succeed in getting the nomi- nation by virtue of the Southern delegates, his defeat is accurately forecasted Denver News

EVERY COUNTRY
 BROWNS ON HIM

WASHINGTON, JMarch 23.-The plight of man without a coun- try" who can not be admitted 10 the United States because the in flexible law of the land is puzzlins Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel.
 Martin Gajen, a seaman of the barkentine Amazon, became insane while the vessel was on the ocean two days before the California coast. The immigration law declares that an insane alien can not be admitted to this country and must be deport- ed. A similar statute prevails in Australia and the master of the vessel points out that he can not return the unfortunate man to that country.
 Gajen is believed to be a Russian. The Russian authorities state, how ever,, that his nationality must be proved, and his relatives located, so they may care for him before he can be deported to Russia In his present condition he can prove noth- ing. The question of giving asy- lum to the helpless man is thus be- ing buffetted from country to coun. try.
 Secretary Nagel has taken the mat ter under consideration, and immi- grafton authorities state it is one of the most .tantalizing problems ever presented to the government.

ROCK DRILLING ID
 BE FEATURE

Big preparations are being made for the Fourth of July celebration in Fairbanks, and there is every req son to believe that the doings this year will be on larger scale than ever before. The celebration will last for two days. Thursday and Fri day.
 The rock drilling contest promises to be of unusual interest this year as there are a number who have in tmated they will enter, who are known to be first class drillers. The prizes will be substantial ones as it is recognized that the event is the feature of the program of sports
 The horse races will be held at Exposition park, on Friday. July ;. and for these also good prizes will be given. There will be trotting race, a free-foralk pony race, a lady's race and a two-mile novelty relay race. In the latter any con- petttor may enter one, two. thre or four hourses. At each half mile. in front of the grandstand, a change of horses or riders must be made. Horses entered in the free-fOr-all will be barred from this race. but entries in the pony or lady's race will be eligible.
 The race track has been surveyed and is exactly one-half mile in length, so all events of a half-mile or a mile will be started and fin ished directly in front of the stand. The curves will be banked and there is every reason to believe that the track will be a fast one as the ground at the park packs hard and smooth.
