His Desperate Mission.

An American had arranged to spend six weeks in an English coun- try house, and for five it rained steadily. On the first day of the sixth week he said to his man, "Get me my shooting clothes and my double barrelcd gun!"
 His hostess looked at him in sur prise. There was no shooting to be had near. "What are you going to do?" she asked.
 "l am going out-out into the rain,' said the visitor, ''to try to find the man who called this coun- try 'Merrie England!"

MONEY
 LOST TO ALASKA
Commissioners Could Not Secure Bonds and Could Not
 Collect.

When the members of the To- cal legislature passed an act to impose a poll tax upon male per- sons in the territory of Alaska they possibly had visions of a big sheaf of the long green which would be gathered in from the fishermen who spend their sum- mers here and their money in the dives of Seattle and other coast towns.
 The act was also pleasant read ing for the commissioners of the various districts whose state of finances were always more or less in a precarious condition owing to Uncle Sam having failed to provide a permanent salary. They are not only commissioners but live on commissions. They no doubt looked over the thousands n1 fishermen who began to arrive early in the summer and figured their own percentage when they had made each pungle up Si. However, news has been re- cciv'd from the westward that it Is a,(Hse of the best laid plans 1 of ;'.ice and men, etc. The com mi> siuncrs received their pack age of little receipt books, each duly numbered with corrcSpOnd- ing numbers on stub book so that they could not cop off more than their share. The commits sioners were also compelled to put up an extra bond sufficient to cover the amounts they were liable to collect. The government l failed to provide any means for the commissioners to secure this necessary bond. The commits sioners appealed to the owners of the canneries and in doing so put them wise to the fact that the poll tax could not be collected under the circumstances. They even refused to help Uncle Sam's man to collect the S3. 70 which was due Uncle. not to mention the 60 cents per which would go to the commissioners. They grew peevish over the prospect of hav-
 ing to leave any money in Alas 1 ka. The fishermen caught on and 1 refused to come through with the dough and as usual the miners and prospecturs who have their residence in Alaska the year round were the goats. The thou sands of fishermen will each have Sl more to spend for booze at Jimmy the Mugs when they reach Seattle. the territorial treasury will be short many thou ! sands of dollars and the cOmmiS- sioners will have to struggle through another winter on the prospect of what they will do to 1 the fishermen next season.
