The territory of Alaska has yielded
to it's owner, the United States, $780,
600, 900 in mineral wealth; in fish and
furs this bleak possession has yielded
$222,710,036, and it has paid directly
into the United States treasury $14,'
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 1902,
500 out of Alaska.
This territory was bought from Rus
STA 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 20 last, were supplied to him
by the treasury department. Costing
but ST. 0 900, and an average OF
5000, 900 annually for the maintenance
of it's government, the territory has re-
turned to the United States $4,000.

HIS "GUESS" EASILY THE BEST
Schoolmaster Did a Little Thinking
and Astonished His Crowd Of
Competitors.

Men wonder at what they do not
understand, but a seeming marvel
often becomes absurdly simple when
1t is explained. Many years ago a
schoolmaster, in the course of his
travels, had occasion to stay for a day
or two at a country travern. AS he
sat in the public room with a dozen
other persons, evidently natives of the
place, there came along a man with a
fat hog that he was driving to market.
Leaving the animal outside, he en-
tered the inn and Joined the little
company. Several Of the latter went
to the window to look at the hog.
"That's a fine pig you've got there,
neighbor," remarked one. do you
know what he'll weight"
Yes, sir" returned the pigs owner.
ct had him on the scales just before
I started out. What do you guess he'll
weight"
The questioner, thus questioned in
turn, looked at the pig carefully, and
made a guess. The owner turned to
the rest of the company, and said:
viii not somebody else give a
guess? Just for the fun of it, let
everybody have a try"
The proposal met with favor. One
after another the men eyed the pig
critically, and after due considera-
ton, gave their estimates of his
weight. The schoolmaster, who
seemed deeply absorbed in his own
thoughts, alone took no part in the
contest. But he was not to be let
off.
Say, friend" the owner of the pig
urged, aren't we going to hear from
you?"
The pedagogue, who perhaps had
never in his life looked attentively at
a pig, rose, went to the window, and
gazed out at this one. He deliberated
for a moment, then, with modest res
itation, named a certain number Of
pounds.
At hearing it. the eyes and the
mouth of the pigs owner opened wide

wal l swami" he exclaimed.
You're the %champion! All the others
guessed either over or under, but
you've hit it almost to a pound"
Every one stared at the schoolmas-
ter admiringly, but no I'M was shrewd
enough to tell how he had been able
to make so good a guess. 1t had not
been a lucky hit, although he could
have done quite as we'll without see
ing the pig. He knew nothing about
swine, but he knew a good deal about
figures. Having heard the guesses of
II more or less expert judges, he had
added together their guesses, divided
the sum by II, and guessed the re

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 a state or city
hospital meant primarily for such pa
tients, though some have zen receiv-
ed and treated at the Massachusetts
state hospital for dipsomaniacs and
inebriates. 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-
ton, 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 seer 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.

Memphis, Tennessee.-Great in
terest is centering here in the COM

sionary Movement of the Southern
Presbyterian church to be held in
this city February 1920. An excep-
~tionally strong lot of men have been
announced on the program and it
promises to be a convention of an
exceptionally high order. Those who
have attended previous conventions
held by this movement in Birming-
ham and Chattanooga testify mat
they have been meetings of great
power and they have demonstrated in
NO uncertain terms that the church
has not lost its power with men.
Among the many important ques'
tions that are to be considered by
this convention may be mentioned the
following:

Early Showed Heroism.

AS a boy, Rear Admiral Young, who
died last month, showed qualities that
were sure to put him in the front rank
of his profession. As a midshipman,
he leaped overheard to rescue a sea-
man, and before the beats could be
lowered and rowed to him, he was
three miles astern, swimming and
supporting the unconscious sailor.
Later, when the ship Huron was
wrecked on a reef off the North Caro-
lima coast, he and another man tried
to reach the shore on a raft. When
the raft capsized, he not only swan
ashore, but dragged his companion to
safety with him. Then he ran to a life
saving station, broke into the build
ing, dragged out the apparatus, ant
succeeded in saving "a officers and
men out of a crew of a hundred and
thirty-two. For this act of heroism
congress advanced him in rank, and
the legislature of Kentucky, his native
state, made him an honorary member

Railroad Rates and Hotel
Accommodations.
The railroads ave granted rates
on the lowest basis ever granted to
religious gatherings, which insures
more satisfactory rates from every
point, and for this reason it is be-
lieved that many will attend. In fact,
it is expected that the auditorium Will
be taxed with its utmost capacity and
the leaders are urging all delegates
to send in their registration cards
promptly in order that a seat may
be reserved for them. Every avail
able seat in the auditorium is expect
ed to be taxed and they are going
TO be carefully reserved for the dele
gates. Auxiliary meetings for the
benefit of the citizens of Memphis are
being planned for every evening, as
il is not thought it will be possible
for all who will want to attend to
get in the auditorium at n time.
