Girls.

This essay will treat of girls be-
fore they have put, down their dolls
and put up their hair, and have be.
come naughty young princesses
who prefer men to sidewalks for
walking purposes.
Little girls are not as exciting as
little boys, nor as fatal to furniture
or cats. A little girl with two pig
tails and her dresses stiH ending at
her knees is nicer to have around
the house than a pianola. Com
pared with a little boy a little girl
is wax statue in the midst of a
riot, or an evening hymn in an ear
ly Kansas cyclone.
Little girls do not black each 9TH
er's eyes or start bonfires in the at =
tic, or let the wind out of stray au-
tOmObileS, or pour water in the
6raphophole, or put frogs in the
bread box. or fall off the porch roof
and dent the nice new cement walk
or shoot holes in other peoples
windows, or dig coal mines in the
garden, OF peel willow twigs with a
razor, or tie roller skates to the
Scotch collie'S feet, or spend three
hours in bring home loaf of bread
for breakfast, or play football in
new trousers, or seine for minnowS
with their straw hats, Or come to
dinner with yesterdays dirt on their
faces, or explode firecrackers in the
washing machine, or raise garter
snakes in the cellar and pigeons in
the attic.
Perhaps you may think this es-
say is devoted too much to the
things that little girls do not do.
But this is their most lovable trait
The little girl is adorable because OF
the things she doesn't do, but would
have done if she had been boy
Fathers of little girls are distin-
guished by their smiling faces and
smoothly ironed brows.
| What little girls do is neither i'm
portant nor excitingl They raise
large families of dolls and learn
many useful household tricks
which most Of them forget later on
Large numbers of them are encour
aged to annoy the piano, but theil
parents must be blamed for that
Little girls are chiefly useful tC
make little boys ashamed WheI
they see their clean hands and faces
and listen to their good grammar
Little girls are usually afraid o.
boys, but get over this very pluck
ly and successfully later in life

Alaskan Lakes aud Volcanoes.


held in dreadful awe by the natives.
When the Indians living on the
west shore of Cook Inlet first beheld
smoke belching steamer nearing
their village they fled precipitately,
first closing their houses so that the
demon of the volcano" which they
believed was approaching, might be
induced to pass by. AS late as
1883 Mount Augustine, a volcanic
cone which rises 1000 feet out Of
the waters of the Inlet, was in vio-
lent eruption, and Mount Hanna
and Mount RedOubt, about 10000
feet high, towering above the coast
range, were in eruption in 1854 and
1902, respectively. That Vulcan is
still active within these mountains
is attested by the persistent clouds
of steam rising from their SUBMITS
and by occasional light showers Of
volcanic dust
The name Hanna is said by
some to be derived from a Russian
term for monument, and it may
have reference to the towering vol
cano The natives say that Hanna
is the name Of great demon-fsh
which lives in Lake Hanna and is
ever on the watch to destroy the
unwary. so that the native who
risks himself on its waters in his
frail craft is accounted venture
some. The lake is, however, the
largest f!eshwater body in Alaska
and is frequently swept by terrific
gales 1t is so miles long by s to
20 miles wide somewhat larger,
perhaps, than Long Island Sound
Its bottom is far below sea level.
The altitude of its surface is only
so feet above the ocean, but sound
ines at its upper end indicate a
depth of many hundredssfeet North
of and tributary to Hanna Lake is
Clark Lake. more than so miles
long. but narrow. This lake is 220
feet above the ocean tides but in
places is more than 600 feet deep.
The region containing these in
lteresting volcanoes and flakes was
the scene of very early missionary
endeavors and trade exploitation
by the Russians. Nevertheless lit
tie exact knowledge of the region
has been acquired, and that has
been largely inaccessible to the pub
lie, so thatsthe receut Investigations
by the United States Geological Sur
vey, report on which has just been
published as Bulletin 485, entitled
"A Geological Reconnaissance of the
the Hanna Region. Alaska" by G.
c. Martin and F. j. Kratz, should be
very welcome.
This report describes the geo.
graphic and geologic features and
the mineral resources of an area
covering more than 5000 square
miles lying west of Cook Inlet. 1t
discusses the mountain systems,
the lakes, rivers, and glaciers. The
climate and vegetation, particularly
the distribution of forests and the
cause of the limits of the forests
are considered. Transportation
routes are indicated. The geology
is treated at considerable length
ant so also the prospective mineral
resources, which are copper, gold
silver, and petroleum. None of these
minerals have yet been shipped
from this district, but the region
may nevertheless some day become
important commercially. The re
port should be of value to thos'
who are interested in the minera
prospects and to those who intent
to search for similar deposits il

TO FIGHT FOR CONTROL.
Taft and Roosevelt Supporters Trying
 10 Gain SupremacY.

Charlotte. N. C., Sept 3--Indications tonight are that spirited fight will be waged between Roosevelt and Taft supporters to gain control of the North Carolina state republican con vention which will meet here tomor- row.
 Despite the fact that the state pro- gressive convention was in session to- day at Greensboro, a number of the leaders among the Roosevelt follow dng were in Charlotte today planning for tomorrow's fight.
 The impression prevails tonight that compromise may be effected where by the state ticket will comprise both Taft and Roosevelt supporters. Both factions appear uncertain as to the outcome of the fight to secure the ful quota of presidential electors for their respective candidates.

EDDIE PLANK PLEASES MACK
Disappointing Performances of Other Pitcher Makes Work of Left
 Hsnder Seem Bright.

The many disappointments his nu- nerous pitchers are handing him this season makes the work of Eddie Plank look all the brighter to Connie Mack, wizard of the Athletics. The veteran of the squad and player whom some of the critics have for several seasons been relegating to the has been" class, Plank keeps right on delivering the goods in masterly style. It was Plank who kept the Athletics out of last place all through the early weeks of the season last year. and again it was Plank who is doing most of the winning this year. His left-hand cross fire Is as deadly as of yore, and his painstaking meth

 But about Bush-why he's no good at all. He's slow and can't cover any ground. His whip is also poor-hey? 1? Say, if had that youngster I'd be sat isfied with life. He is a wonderful lit- tie fielder and he is in the game all the time. The Detroit pitchers can thank Ownie Bush for the number of hits he robs opposing batsmen of in a season. Without Bush at short, think the Tigers would not look so formidable"
