A CAPTAIN UNAFRAID

This instruction was promptly given by
the Judge, who was plainly annoyed by
Humans tactics. The Judge did not know
whether there had been confession or not.
His attitude indicated the belief that, If there
was such a confession as had been testified
to, it was very strange that Hinman had not
introduced it when he was presenting the
Governments case.
Rubens retained possession Of the comics
sion throughout his argument, and trc-
quently waved it before the jury, as though
he wished above all things that he could
show it to them and let them sec for them
selves, as he inferentially had seen, that
there was nothing in it that reflected on the
defendant. He could have said all he had
to say in half an hour; but he injected an
eloquent speech on Cuban liberty, simply
to take up enough time SO that Hinnan
would not have an opportunity to reply to
his argument until after lunch.
During the noon recess Captain BrabaZon
was taken in hand. He was told that in his
would alege that he had made a confession
and that when this statement was made he
must rise to his feet in righteous Indignation
and pronounce it wholly false. He was re-
peatedly instructed to be very dignified, but
also very earnest. He learned his lesson
perfectly: but as soon as he could get away
from his instructors he proceeded to take
considerable red liquor abroad. He wanted
to make a success Of his part of the perform
ance, and besides he was filled with remorse.
When Hinman reached Brabazon in his
closing argument he turned slowly round and
faced him, drew himself up to his full height,
and dramatically declared, "He did confess.'
In an instant the Captain was on his feet
and shaking his fist at Hinman. With his
eyes blazing and his whole manner portray
ing outraged innocence. he shouted in
voice that could have been heard the full
length of full rugged ship in any gale that
ever blew, you're a blanketv BANKED,
double blankcd liar, you red headed
Rubens was Mortified. He was unpre-
pared for such a torrent OF denial and denun-
citation, and there was no mistaking his sur
prise He pushed Brabazon, who was really
fighting mad. into a chair and held him
there until he had quieted down, at the same
time admonishing and abusing him in a sup
pressed voice, though it was not sufficiently
suppressed that it failed to reach the Judge.
Then he turned to the court and ferventlv
apologzed for the Captain inexcusable
outburst of virtuous Indignation. He fully
expected the Captain would be sent to Jail
for contempt of court; but the Judge seemed
impressed by his earnestness and let him off
with lecture.
There was not much to the case after that.
Hinman was 50 taken aback that he cut his
argument short, being careful to avoid any
further reference to the doughty Captain,
and it took the jury only a few minutes TO
return verdict of acquittal.
So does justice sometimes triumph over
the law. In the exciting years that followed
cases; but never one that was attended by
such startling surprises on both sides.

SAIAAM KURO

THE following is an instance of an elc-
: plants good manners and OF the tcnac-
itv with which an idea once received by him
adheres in his memory.
When visiting the London Zoo, an Eng
lshman who had seen service in India got
permission for his children to ride on one of
the elephants. After the ride he wished to
give the beast bun and to make him say
"Please." using, in this connection, the
phrase ".Salaam knro' make salaam).
The animal regarded the man gravely for
sometime, eagerly eying the bun in his hand.
At last memory came to the pachyderm's S
aid, and up went his trunk, and he made
most correct Salaam.
The beasts keeper was much surprised,
asking what the performance meant. The
Britishcr explained that it was a point of
good manners for an elephant to raise his
trunk up to his forehead if anyone was going
to feed him, and that frequently elephants
would ask in this polite manner for some
thing when they encountered anyone who
seemed likely to offer them food.
The keeper assured the visitor that he
had never seen the elephant do this before,
and that he had been in charge of the beast
since it arrived from India long time since.
For seventeen years this animal had never
heard these words. and had always taken
his food without this mark of good manners.

ALASKA OF SOME ACCOUNT
Its Cost Paid Back Many Times Over
and Now 1t Demands Self
Government.

The territory Of Alaska has yielded
to its owner, the United States, $780,
100000 in mineral wealth; in fish and
furs this bleak possession has yielded
S222,710,036, and it has paid directly
into the United States treasury S14,-
792,461 in cash. Adding the tribute
of fisheries, furs, minerals and cash,
the people of the United States have
within forty-two years taken $444 ,102,-
500 out of Alaska.
This territory was bought from Rus
sia in 1867 for $7,200,000. The figures
Of wealth yielded in return for. this
investment, according to the testi-
mony of Delegate James Wickersham
before the committee on territories
on March 29 last, were supplied to him
by the treasury department. Costing
but $7,200,000, and an average of
100000 annually for the maintenance
of its government, the territory has re-
turned to the United States $10,0O0-
900 year. Its people now petition
the government to enable them to con-
serve for their own use its vast and
yet undeveloped resources. They
want to govern themselves, and ulti-
mately to achieve statehood. The ma
ton has always taken tribute from
Alaska, while retaining its own wealth
for itself and its individual states.

LANDLORD ENJOYS THE JOKE
Friend Of Tenants In French Capital
Finds Himself In Something Of
Dilemma.

For once that French public bene.
factor known as Cochou, who cham.

with his landlord and desires to put
him to inconvenience he sends for
Cochon. The latter is always ready
to get even with landlords, and eager.

A student at the Ecole des Arts and
Manufactures was at loggerheads with
his landlord and obtained the break.
ing of his lease for fiat in the
Boulevard de Strasburg. Before clear.
ing out he thought he would like lit
tie fun at the landlords expense.
A message was sent to the indis.
pensable Cochon, the erstwhile sec.
retary of the Tenants league and the
founder of a similar institution. Cochon
sent the student three families, each
consisting of four children. The famf.
lies did not enjoy their new quarters
long, for the landlord obtained an or
der for their Immediate expulsion.
The evicted families now look to
Cochon to find new quarters for them.
Cochon does not know where he can
find them. His responsibility is a
heavy one. For once the table have

ASKS AID FOR DRUG USERS
Magazine Writer Urges Hospitals for
Those Afflicted With Deplor-
able Habit.

The need of hospitals, private and
public, for scientific treatment of drug
addiction, is urgent, writes Charles b.
Towns in the Century, discussing
The Drug Taker and the Physician"
There has never been state or city
hospital meant primarily for such pa
tents, though some have been receiv-
ed and treated at the Massachusetts
state hospital for dipsomaniacs and
lnebriates. The state and city make
provision for treating the insanity
that arises in advanced stages of the
habit, or in patients forcibly deprived
Of their craving, but not for treating
the habit itself
Even the inebriate colony which is
to be established by the state of New
York Will in no way provide for the
drug taker. This is probably because
he does not come SO obviously within
the protective province of the state as
does the alcoholic, since he is not
turbulent and does not break the law
except in order to obtain his Gus
tomary dose. At the present time,
with all the enormous drug consump-
tion, there Is no provision by state or
city, or by charity organization, for
the special treatment of the drug
taker, although more than any other
sick person in the world is he abso-
lutely unable to care for himself.
1t will be seen that the physician is
the proper agent to deal with the evil
under discussion. both in safeguard
ing the patient from acquiring the
habit and in correcting the habit when
once it has been asquired. He must,
then, be thoroughly equipped for the
duty. Every year doctors are being
graduated from our medical schools
with an intimate knowledge of dis.
eases that they will rarely encounter,
but without any knowledge of drug
and alcoholic conditions, which await
them in appalling numbers. They
must realize their responsibility in
prescribing the habit-forming drugs
and must be qualified to deal with the
| results of their misuse.
