BEWARE OF THE TELEPHONE.
Listeners at Other End Hear More

Not every woman realizes how care

into which the person telephoning
translates the denial: she may hear
the original words too.

CORDOvA, Alaska, June S.--Inhab-
itants of this section of Alaska are in
d state Of terror today as a result of
the eruption OF one of the mountains
in The Cook Inlet country. Tremen-
dous explosions, sounding exactly
like regular cannonading, continued
Tor hours yesterday and today, fol-
lowed by a veritable rain of ashes, and
violent earth shocks which threw the
entire country hereabouts into a panic
OF fear. The fear Of the people was
increased by the uncertainty of what
the phenomena meant.
Government officials here and at
other Alaskan points made an effort
10 ascertain the cause of the pheno-
mena by wireless, but failed because
the condition of the atmosphere made
Tadio-telegraphy impossible. 1t is be-
1ieved here that either Redoubt Noun
tain OF the Hanna mountain both in
the Cook Inlet country and both
known to be volcanic is now in vio-
lem eruption though there is no way
of telling definitely.
All night and today heavy clouds
were hanging low over the country.

Chit Chat,

AAA~A~ AZ - IVA VsAA yVuOl5 ~ AOAN
of mine who often remarks apro-
pos of family affairs. II usually
manage to get my own way
She does. There is no doubt
labout it; I happen to know her
family, and I know that what she
says is more than true. Nor is
there anything strange about the
matter; she has the most disa-
greeable temper aud the most
imperious egotism in the family.
Why shouldn't she get her way?
Just as. of my neighbours three
dogs, the dog with the most
quarrelsome temper would al
ways get the pick of the feeding,
unless my neiehbor interviewed.
But the queer thing to me a.
bout this girls statement is the
e'ident pride with which she
makes it. Can she possibly be
proud Of being the human proto-
type of the quarrelsome dog, to
which all the other dogs deter
rather than risk arousing bis
temper?
And yet l know many people
who speak with the same pride
about getting their own way,
either in the family circle or in
the world at large. ;.
Evidently they do not realize
what such defence on the part of
others means. They seem to
think that their success in get.
ting their own way denotes some
commendable characteristic, such
as tenacity Of purpose or I strong
personality. I wonder if the
quarrelsome dog thinks the 9TH
er dogs give in to him because
he has such q strong viii power,
such tenacity of purpose, sucha
powerful personality? wonder
if he would be surprised If he
were told that he has his own
way simply because heis so very
greedy and so disagreeable when
he is crossed?
Did you ever read The New.
comes?" If you have, perhaps
you may remember the passage
in which Thackeray exalts the
advantages of self.assertiou. /.
TO push on in the crowd"
says he, every male or female
struggler must use his or her
