CONGRESSMEN PAN
 ALASKA SYNDICATE
Continued from page 1.)

Continued from page 1)
 that the state of Oklahoma was will derness.
 Congressman Borland denounced the Alaska Syndicate, charging that they had been guilty of many crimes, that they had bribed judes in Alas ka from the time they first entered the northern tield that they had killed workmen during the famous battle of Keystone Canyon and that they had enacted a drama of greed and carnage, unparalleled since the days of Warren Hast'ng.
 The unholy alliance between Wall Street robbers and London bankers, to steal the resources of the north, must be broken and they now face the supreme test whether the entire conservation theory shall stand and the resources of the territory of Al aska opened or else the wealth of the north must be turned over to the AL aska Syndicate for exploitation.
 Congressman Falconer, of Wash ington, also spoke in favor of the bill and read into the Congressional Rec or many communications from the people of the north, telling of the greed of the Alaska Syndicate and of the crimes committed by them in or der to gobble up the resources of Alaska. Included in the records so read was long telegram from Mayor F. F. Ritchie, of Valdez, who was attorney for one of the men shot in Keystone, Canyon by Edward Ha- sey, the hired gunman of the Syndi- cate and who received a verdict of $15, ,000 from the jury which tried the case and the verdict later was cut to $1O,000 by Judge Cushman, the trial judge.
 The entire afternoon was spent by different congressman in denouncing the Alaska Syndicate for it's action towards Alaska and it's efforts to gobble the country. The congress men all favored the Chamberlain railroad bill as the only method to save the country from them and keep it's resources for the people.

WHERE MONEY IS USELESS.
Ascension Island Has Mono and Has
 No Need For 1t.

Ascension Island Has Mono and Has
 No Need For It.
 The island of Ascension, in the At lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is of volcanic formation, eight miles by six in size, and has a population of about 45O It was uninhabited until the confinement of Napoleon at St. Helena, when 1t was occupied by small Brit ish force It is 2SO miles northwest of St. Helena. Vast numbers of turtles as a depot and watering place for ships.
 Ascension is governed by captain appointed by the British admiralty. There is no private property in land. no rents. no taxes and no use for mon- ey. The 6ocks and herds are public property. and the meat Is issued as ra- tions So are the vegetables grown on the farms. When an island fisherman makes a catch he brings 1t to the guardroom, where it is issued by the sergeant major. Practically the entire population are sailors, and they work at most of the common trades. The muleteer is Jack tar; so is the gar dener; so are the shepherds, the stock men, the grooms, masons, carpenters and plumbers. Even the island trapper who gets rewards for the tails of rats is sailor.
 The climate is almost perfect, and anything can be grown.-London Fam. i1v Herald

It is difficult for Chinaman to mas. ter the English pronunciation, and this accounts in great measure for the prev alcnce of pidgin English. The letter T. is almost always sounded like l, so we have ki-lin or kleen for green and lain for rain. '''foo muchee lain just now' is often heard. just now" being a favorite expression to denote the inn mediate present In calling upon a lady one says to the boy lhouse serv- ant of any age from sixteen to sixty,. "Missee have got?' and the answer comes. Have got" or No have got according to whether she is in or out. This recalls the time honored. true story of the lady who called and the boy reported to his mistress of the house. "One piecee man down side. b'long missus."

Best Fowl For the Table.

The best table fowl is one that has the heaviest weight of meat on those parts of the body which are favorite cuts. The breast and thighs must be heavy in a good table fowl in propor- tion to the remainder of the body. In order to have thick breast meat and big thighs these muscles must be used by the fowl. In other words, the flier and scratcher will prove to be the best table fowl, for their lively habits give the muscles of the legs and breast work that renders them firm and fine instead of leaving them fabby and full of loose tissue in the shape of fat Home and Farm.

ELEPHANT SERVANTS.
An Easy Solution of the Nursemaid
 Problem In Bengal.

An Easy Solution of the Nursemaid
 Problem In Bengal.
 In "Tigerland" the author relates an extraordinary comedy witnessed by a friend who was sitting in the veranda of his tent in Bengal watching his ele- plants, which were picketed under some trees q short distance off.
 He saw the wife of one of the mahouts emerge from her tentlike shelter with an infant in her arms. She took 1t close up to huge 'tusker," to whom she made a low salaam; then put the sleeping child down before 1t and ashamed again. Next she spread a blanket on the ground and placed the baby in the center of 1t, well within reach of the tuskers proboscis. Then salaaming again. more ostentatiously. went off to the bazaar.
 Presently the child awoke and soon began to crawl toward the edge of the blanket. But when it had gone foot or two the elephant. stretching out his trunk. gently pulled it back to its orig inal position. Again and again the baby attempted similar excursions to regions beyond the blankets edge. but always with the same result Explora- ton under elephantine supervision finally proved too dull. and so the child lay quiet for awhile. gazing up at it's huge nurse. then dropped off peace fully to sleep again.
