some benefit upon the trusts.

At this writing there is contest in
Pennsylvania between the machine led by
Penrose and supported by the Taft adj
ministratlon and the Progressive Repub-
leans Of the state
In this contest the Standard Oil can be
counted upon to come to the support of
MIR. Penrose both because of his past serv-
lees and because Of their future necessities
Senator Penrose has always been val
liable and highly valued agent of the
Standard Oil in public life.
In the preceding article we have seen
how he was elected to serve the Standard
OH and how he served them, and in this
article we shall see how he continued to
serve the Standard Oil and what generous
recognition he received for his services

On its face the certificate shows only that
certain bank (and in this it is the largest
bank in the United States in deposits has on hand
certain sum Of money which is payable on de-
mand whenever the certificate is presented to the
person in whose favor it is drawn The person
receiving the cash must, Of course, sign his name
on the back Of the certificate, and this is the
acknowledgment that the money has been
ceved.
When a United States senator receives such
certificate and deposits ii in his own bank to his
own credit. there is nothing to show that the
money came from the Standard Oil Company.
When bride is paid in ordinary mOney-the
low, vulgar, coarse way in which criminals pay it
to their partners, among politicians or policemen,
in New York, for instance-the payment is not
possible to prove afterward except by reputable
eye-witnesseS, who are naturally not often invited
to be spectators.
But the "Certiicatc of Deposit System of
paying a bride has much more subtety and tnesSe
The man taking the bride knows where the money
arrives FROM but the certifcate" does not show
it. and no one is apparently incriminaed. But the
brbe-ta ker must sign the certificate to get the
money. The certificate is then returned TO the
bride givcr through the bank, and the proof of
the payment Of money and the identity Of the man
receiving it is then all in the possession Of the
bride giver.
PenroSe More Needed Than Foraker.
The Standard Oil sent Sal 600 in certificates
Of deposit to Senator J. b. Foraker in single
year when he was one Of the foremost Republican
leaders in the senate No one Of the checks which
in the aggregate made S4l 600 in a single year paid

counted on for sensible action
in regard to this question, an
effort should be made to have
him present at the meetings. 1t

variegated political career,
but he is now again squareIy
in the Republican fold, and

tainly be a great misfortune,

do everything possible in the
matter in Mr., SbIey's favor,
on the sure ground that all

will have at least fair con-
sideration and treatment at
his hands.

YORK COUNTY CASE.
Judgment for Plaintiff in Case of I'm
prisonment of Bankrupt.

The law court i'm a rescript handed
down, Saturday. renders Judgment for
the plaintiff for s2eS and costs in the
York county case of Joseph Turgeon vs..
Harry L. Bean. The reseript, which
was drawn by Associate Justice Leslie
c. Cornish is as follows:
Action on the case for. false imprison-
ment. The plaintiff was arrested on July
10. 1910 ON a process issused by dis
closure commissioner upon an execution
in favor of the defendant on a debt
provable and dischargeabe in bankrupt
cy, and was committed to jail. On July
IS, 1910, upon his own petition, he was
duly adjudicated bankrupt but the
record does not show that he has ever
obtained his discharge. He was held III
jail until Nov. a. 1910, when he was re-
leased by the United States district
court upon habeas corpus proceedings. II
ment of July 10, 1910, and his detention
until July Is, 1910. when his petition in
bankruptcy was filed. were legal but the
plaintiff contends that his detention after
that time was Illegal.
Held:
/. That as matter of statutory con-
structon Section of the bankruptcy act
of 1898 which provides that a bankrupt
shall be exempt from arrest. upon al
civil processes should be construed t.
mean exemption from arrest made after
bankruptcy petition is filed and does not
apply to an arrest on civil process prop
erly made before the fling of the petit
tion.
. That in this case, however, the
plaintiff having been granted his release
by court of competent jurisdiction, the
question is res judicata, the liability oil
the defendant has become fixed. :.
Judgment for plaintiff for s29S and
costs in accordance with the verdict OF
the jury on the question of damages.

THE DOGS OF ALASKA.
OF All Breeds and Sizes-The Native
Malamute.

Dogs in Alaska are of all breeds and
sizes, the most common being the
lnalamute, or native dog. The word
malamute' is an Indian word mean
ing Eskimo, and is applied to both
dogs and natives. The malamute is
OF the wolf strain-in fact, the best of
the breed are half Wolff They eVince
all the characteristics of the wolf
both in appearance and in manners
Owing to his wolf-like fur, the mala-
mute can easily stand the extreme
Alaskan cold. He is a born fighter
an inveterate thief, and somewhat of
a coward, for he will seldom fight
singiy against a lone adversary. The
malamute, while we'll able to with
stand the cold, does not seem to have
| the same order of intelligence as is
displayed by the outside dog, and the
! best dog for Alaska would seem to be
mixture of the two strains.
| Another native breed in the North
is the huslSie. but this breed is rarer
than common usage of the word
would imply. The real huskies are
bred in the neighborhood of the Mac
kenzie river. and are more common in
the territory under the jurisdiction of
the Hudson Bay company than in
| Alaska.
! Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are
a rarity in Alaska, for in that coun-
1 try dog is valuable in exact pro-
portion to the amount he can pull.
| A sleigh-dog will weigh anything
from so to $50 pounds the average
being about rs pounds. 1t is surpris-
| ing to the uninitiated how big load
a dog can pull, though | must admit
/ have never seen or heard of a dog
in Alaska pulling 1000 pounds under
the conditions described in we'll
! known noveaists book: nor nave |
