A Humorous Aneedote.

The New YORK Times is responsible
for the following story
AS one of the few "humors" OF the
war there comes story about the Ger
man commander of lite steamer ply
ing the waters of lake Nyassa. Away
off there IN Central Africa he had
heard nothing o. the great conflict.
HIS English neiShbors, however, were
better informed. and they sent an arm
ed boat to capture his vessel. They APP
preached cautiously expecting resis-
tence. and opened fire. but it was not
until the fourth shot of their evidently
unskil!ed gunner had dune the first
damage by carrying away the Ger
mans gangway that her captain rush
ed on deck. calling his assailants fools
emphasizing the epithet after the too
customary manner of fresh water as
we'll as salt water sMlormen and told
them that If they kept Up their reck,
legs shooting they would hit his ship.
This is not merely the amusing anec-
dote 1t seems at tir8 thought. The an
CRY astomshment OF the German cap
tain and his assumption that his lite
and property had been ENDANGERED I'M
Intentionally. hut IN criminals careless
nese. was exactly the emotion the
would be CEASED by. ana exactly the
judgment that would be passed on.

Alaska Is Hopeful.

The annual report of Governor J. r.
A. Strong, of Alaska, shows that the
people of our northern possession are
very much encouraged by the determi-
nation of the Washington government
to really do something for that country.
The Governor estimates that there are
now 80. 600 people IN the territory, an
increase of 5000 over last years esti.
mate. The total value of the 1918 min
eraI output was Sl9'470, 336, and the to-
tai value of the products of the Alask
an fisheries was Sl5 1884, 6S. Both
showed some declines from the proceed
ing year. The terntory's commerce in
the last fiscal year showed exports of
more than SOL. 600, GOO. a decrease oe-
cause of lesser GOLD production, while
the United States sold merchandise
worth S21, 900, 400 70 the TERRITORY.
Aiaska's mineral resources, Governor
Strong said, awaited development to
restore some of the foreign supplies
cut off by the European war.
The governor further declares that
the agricultural possibilities Of tbs Ter
ritory are beginning to he appreciated
There are probably 5Q.00A0o0 acres OF
land suitable for agricultural purposes,
he SAID and millions Of acres adapted
for cattle raising and darying. G0t-

Gifts For Giving.

How many have been the plans many
have made for giving at Christmas. 1t
is very fitting to remember certain
ones with fitting tokens of apprecia-
ton. The sudden rise and rapid growth
of the Society TOR the Prevention of
4 Useless Giving, not only has resulted
in savings TO clerks and other employ
I ees from giving to those over them IN
their work. but with its new name, So
ciety for the Promotion of Useful Civ
ing, an ever greater and more service
able field lies open to its members "a
Sane Chrl stmas' IN the way of gifts Is
/ the need of the hour. The slack in bus
mess conditions Will cause many to be
considerable in their expenditures. At
/ the same time too many of US arc prone
to just buy what comes to our atten-
ton first. We should consider first,
how much we have to spend for pre-
sents Second, to what persons are we
so related by ties of friendship and
love, that it would be really wrong not
/ to remember them. The wise person
/ plans several weeks ahead some of the
( things to be gwen, and gradually or
rather carefully selects each gift with
a view to the person receiving it and
the amount to be spent. For instance,
parent who buys an expensive doll
for child when the greatest need of
the child is warm clothing, Is not far
to the best interest of the little one.
Surely, get her doll, but a much
cheaper one would satisfy its mother
nature. especially when she saw a
warm coat. all her own.
/ The persons, whose sympathIes are
large and whose hearts peat compass
sion tor others, will certainly try to
/ help some one or more persons, who
are outside of their circle of friends,
and especially those who are unfortun-
ate. Many a person looks forward with
fondest hope that Santa Claus may
come to see them. How blessed are
those who inform old ANITA, and help
him to carry gifts to the needy. Truly,
cit is more blessed to give than to re
ceive', as those who practice can tss-
tliy. 1t is the earnest desire of one
well-wisher that all may enjoy God s
richest gil--that is to welcome the
Christ into our hearts, and then let
this tender hearted Friend lead US in
all our giving and living.

lining other sources of natural riches

SAID the territory must present an IN
vting field for the homeseeker, for
capital and for labor, for men OF brain

The construction of railroads by the
government. the governor added. will

known to possess great possibilities

of view.

continue to he excellent. Among the

practically every act of war by any
sane and civilized person who happened
to see it without any previous intor-
nation that a dispute was IN course of
settlement by force instead of by rea-
son. The Captain naturally enough
thought that nobody except fools de.
serving of his vehement condemnation
would thus subject MIN to serious risk
while he was quietly and peacefully at
tending to his innocent business.
Presumably be changed his mind
when the situation was explained to
HIM, but there was little or no logical
necessity for him to do so, for, war or
no war, the intrinsic quality of the act
that angered HIM remained the same.
From this deeper view, the acts of war
that pass aslegitimate do not differ es-
sentialy from those which are charac-
tertzed as ''strocIties. The effects IN
both cases are the same, and no more
IN the one case than In the other is
there any relevancy to the questions
nominally at issue.

The Siluer Dollar,

In certain parts Of the country, not
ably the eastern portion, one seldom
sees a SILVER dollar; the people, as a
rule, preferring paper money. And IN
other portions Of the country gold TAX IS
the place of paper currency. while sub
sidery CONS are plentiful. IN large sec
lions of the vert the silver dollar GER
tlfcate IS rare and in ITS place silver
dollars are circulated. A story is told
of the face that IS pictured on the sill
yer dolar and many may be surprised
to know that it Is not fancy sketch,
but in tact a portrait from lite, being
the REPRODUCED features of girl whose
mother was we'll known southern
beauty.
The story runs like this: Anna Will
lis was the daughter of wealthy south
ern slave owner and married Henry
Williams Of Philadelphia. IN the good
old days before the war. Unfortunate
ly for the young couple, DR.. Willis,
the girls father, lost his fortune and
could not set them up in the style to
which she had been reared. This, how
ever, did not interfere with the happ-
ness of the two, who settled in PhIla-
delphia and eventually reared a family
of nine children. During those years
Henry Williams, made and lost tor
tune, SO that his wife, at his death,
found herself again plunged into power
ty. The last child, named Anna Willis
Williams, was born about the opening
of the Clval war What trials and pri-
vations the mother went to provide for
her fatherless children Will never be
known. But it is certain that Anna
Willis Williams, budding into exquisite
womanhood, had none of the luxures
of life. So serene and beautiful was
her face that everywhere she went
people turned to look at her
One day the head OF the Treasury
Department sent for designer named
George Morgan and commissioned him
to design the stamps for the new sill
yer dollar That was soon to be issued.
The stamp for one side was quickly
made. but Morgan hunted long and d.
hgently for face far enough to adorn
the other side. One day a fellow artist
introduced INN 10 Anna Willis Will
liams, and immediately he knew that
hls search was ended. tor here was the
exact type of face he wanted. And so
the glrl who had never had an extra
dollar in her life saw thousands of
shining COINS bearing her image.
Romance is not a lost item nor an I'M
known quantity IN this proslac world.
Look at the face OF the dollar ~ your
purse and see II you think II Is.
