 In the early morning hours Mir. Brown saw light low in the western sky. He directed the quartermaster to change the course of the steamer and to pursue the light After two hours of futile pursuit the light dipped below the horizon and was seen only when the swell of the peaceful ocean brought the ship to higher position.
 "Quartermaster, what do you make of that lght?" asked Fourth Officer Brown.
 That is the star Sirius sometimes known as the Dog star" answered the learned quartermaster.
 Set our course east by north" replied Mir Brown, somewhat chagrined. And, quartermaster, kindly make no mention of pursuing a light"
 The next day the captain took his bear ings the Coquitlam appearing twenty miles out of her course. Mir Brown offered no explanation. and the steamers odd behavior was put down to the unusual currents in the Boring sea.

NAPOLEON'S MAXIMS

The following are some of Napoleon's maxims, taken from H. A. L. Fishers "Na- poleon," in the Home University Library Unity of command is 8 first necessity of war"
 'Love is the occupation of the idle man, the distraction of the warrior, the stum- bling block of the sovereign"
 "The first quality of the commander in chief is cool head" "He lies too much. One may very we'll lie sometimes, but always is too much" "A great captain ought to say to himself If the enemy appear on my front my right or my left what should l do? If he finds himself embarrassed, he is i'll posted "When king is said to be kind man, the reign IS failure" Heart! How the devil do you know what your heart is? It is a bit of you crossed by a big vein in which the blood goes quicker when you run"
 "The heart of statesman should be in his head
 High tragedy IS the school of great men. It is the duty of sovereigns to encourage and spread it. Tragedy warns the soul, raises the heart, can and ought to create heroes"
 Bleeding enters into the combination of political medicine"
 ''The vice of our modern institutions is that they have nothing which appeals to the imaginatons. Man can only be gov erned through imagination. Without it he IS brute"
 Transcription is the eternal root of a nation, purifying its morality and framing all its habits"
 q regard myself as probably the most daring man in war who has ever existed. "
 "Love of country is the first virtue of civilized man."
 There are only two nations-East and West"

Inquiry into the disappearance of Bob l LaCin, an old-timer well known m the In terior of Alaska who has not been heard of for more than a year past, IS still be ing conducted by the United States mar | shars office Lagn was last seen on Sep tember 12, 1913 He had been trapping and hunting on the upper tributaries of the Kusk okwim, and intended to spend the Christmas holidays at Takotna His non arrival there caused apprehension for his safety and efforts were made to learn hls fate. A man named Steve Foster told in Fairbanks last summer of having seen Lagin short time previously, but this IS believed to have been a mistake. letter | from Dr. Green of Takotna to Deputy Mar shal Percy G. Charles on the subject sug gests that Lagn may have been a victim of the Indians The letter is in part as follows:
 Jesse Roder is as trustworthy and hon. | orable a young man as you could wish to meet anywhere, and has been working on Candle creek all summer. l had talk with him recently and learned the follow ing:
 "He and Bob killed two moose thirty five miles up the North fork, and after dressing them Bob left him to go about eighty miles up, or forty-hve miles farther, where he was going to trap. Bob took the canoe, leaving his polling boat for Jesse to take the moose down river Bob in structed him to leave his moose at Arthur Berrys, at Big river, so he would have 1t when he returned about Christmas time. Jesse did this, and Berry had to feed it to his dogs this spring, as Bob failed to show up.
 "C. Frank Cowan, 1t is reported, told them that Bob Lagin came there and the last he saw of him he was going over the divide to the Novi When Cowan came down river this spring he brought Bob's canoe, which he found where Bob told him, and left it at Berrys.
 Believes Indians Killed Him
 Jesse Yoder left Bob on September 12, 1913, or rather Bob left Ioder on that date-loder staying where they killed the moose to dry it out to keep 1t from spoil ing. On September IS the Mckinley Fork Indians tried to run him off and to take his meat away from him. He punched sev eral of them pretty well, 1 guess, and then they threatened to shoot him He told them to get busy, as he would net leave until his meat was fit to move. All of the Indians know he IS a crack and quick shot, but nevertheless they spent several days and nights shooting around his camp, al ways from cover, several shots hitting the trees where he was camped and had his meat. When Bob left him he had four and half gallons of whisky and plenty of grub to take him through the winter, with what meat he would get He also had plenty of ammunition.
 It is Yoder's opinion that Bob was killed by these same Indians, as they have run of every white man who has gone into their district A man by the name of John Sigurson went into their country last year and has not been seen or heard from

 Natives Bad Lot
 A later communication from Dr. Green gives an interesting insight into conditions in the little known regions in the upper kuskokwim country. He says:
 q have just had a talk with Paul Min nick, German who was on the kusko- kwim some time since, hunting moose, and he reports the following:
 "Whie coming down the North fork he stopped with his motor boat and his moose at the mouth of the Mckinley fork, in a cabin belonging to another German named Frederick. Here he found Chief Soo Suey, who stayed all night with him. He asked him if he had seen Bob Lagin and he said Yes; he die all same two Indians same day. One Indian he die my cabin Mckln- lev fork Gle lives up the Mckinley fork.
 Then Minnck asked him if he knew Jesse Yoder, and he answered.: Yes; he kill five my dogs Three dogs no good, me kill 'em pretty soon. Two dogs hu skookum dogs Me kill him sometime Minnick says as he does not understand the Indians or English any too we'll, he may nave nllSunderStOOQ nm. Alter lneS had gone to bed, Minnick says, he could not sleep, thinking of what Soo Suey had said, and knowing what the other Indians say about his $500 Sueys) being a smooth, foxy Indian While awake, but pretending to sleep, Soo Suey got up very carefully, took the bug and went out of the cabin, and he got up to see what he did. 500 Suey, after getting out of the cabin, lighted the bug and went down to his boat and searched it all over, returning to the cabin and putting out his bug before he came in Minnic} got back into bed and the Indian came very carefully crawling in his end of the bunk and was soon asleep. In the morning neither one mentioned the sub ject, Minnick being afraid to ask him why he searched his boat after they had gone to bed Minnick discredits the story Of Lagins being at C. r. Cowan's cabin, further up, and says that Lagin left a note tackled to tree on the bank near his canoe, where he had camped, directing Cowan to take his canoe down with him when he came along in the spring, and to leave it at Berrys This Cowan did"

A story is told of an encounter between Queen Victoria and Mir Gladstone.
 Mir. Gladstone, in an audience with the queen, one day produced list of people whom he wished to be made peers. The queen demurred and said: '1 cannot ere ate as many as this Mir Gladstone"
 Whereupon Mir. Gladstone, who sometimes got into a temper, tore the list up. The queen flushed slightly, but said nothing to Mir. Gladstone, who shortly afterward quit ted the royal presence. Some short time later Mir Gladstone pre- sented new list, much shorter than on the previous occasion.
 The queen without looking at 1t, tore 1t up It was then Mir. Gladstone's turn to fush-Ex.
