Repartee by Famous Men.

Recently we have been confessine
to liking for special repartee, says
Harper's Weekly. Here are a few
more that meet our personal notion
of that kind of wit:
When Sydney Smith was advised
to have his portrait painted by Land,
seer. he asked:
lis thy servant dog that he
should do this thing?"
The same Sydney Smith, who you
will remember, was clergyman, was
in an argument. His opponent, pro-
voked, cried out. IF had son who
was an idiot, l would make him g
parson.'
Your father" replied Smith, ''was
of different opinion
A story is told of Henry Clay that
is also applied in earlier history to a
member of parliament. A long-wind'
ed member of congress said: "You
sir, speak for the present generation
but I speak for posterity.'
1T seems" said Clay, you are
resolved to speak until your audience
arrives"
Also in this connection the follow
ing comes to mind:
The Duchess of Gordon: Have you
been talking as much nonsense as
usual, Mr.. Pitt?"
Pitt: 81 am not sure, but | think
that since l saw your grace I have
not heard so much.

FEAR IN BATTLE.
No Fighting Man i'm World is Immune
From blue Funk"

Of all the mysteries of war-and
there are many-none is more baf-
fling or more elusive to the student
of fighting human nature than the
way in which blind panic will grip
and temporarily paralyze even the
most seasoned troops, says the Lon
don Times.
No fighting man in the world is
immune from the sudden, subtle at
tack of blue funk"
However, says a British war cor
respondent, so far as a comparison
of the fighting qualities of the va
rious nations is possible-I have
never found any material difference
in mans courage, be he white, brown
or black, though it assumes different
forms-I should say, without dis
respect to our allies, that the French
man is the most susceptible to panic.
The Frenchman's imaginative
qualities make him a bonny and en-
thusiastic fighter, but, just because
he has a vivid imagination, is he Pc
culiarly liable to lose his head-and
to lose it very badly.
| remember being with the French
Foreign Legion during the Morroc-
can war when, late one night, the
goums (native scouts) came gallop-
ing back to camp with the news that
the Moors we're coming on in force.
Panic will seize men in broad day
light, but certainly there is nothing
more favorable to its development
than the actuality of fear of an at
tack in the small hours of the morn
ing. The alarm, as it so happened,
was a false one, but the mischief
was done. Suddenly, instantaneous
ly, like the dropping of a great black
pail, fear fell upon us, and these
hard-bitten, reckless devils of the
Foreign Legion broke and scattered.
I dare say to the mind of many
a reader there will spring picture
of disordered, yelling mob running
this way and that, but the picture,
if conceived, would be false.
If one can lay finger on any SAL
lent characteristic of panic, it is that
panic-stricken men do not run. They
walk, or rather stumble. along, heed
less of whittier they are going, so
long as it is awav from the enemy.
Also, men in the grip of a nameless
fear do not cry out. Their tongues,
like their limbs, are more or less
paralyzed.
When l meet man who tells me
that he has never been afraid under
fire l know him to be a liar. Per-
haps in ones first engagement the
novelty and excitement of the oc-
casion counterbalances fear. But l
am certain that the ofterner a man
goes into action the more he is
afraid, and it is morale, discipline,
and, above all, the fear of being ex-
posed as a coward that keeps him
from running away.
Another curious characteristic of
panic is the fact that, although the
retreating men may be fired, into and
harried and hustled, they will not re-
taliate. In fact; they seem to wish
to be killed.

 Militarism.

LAKE MOHONK, May 21.-A dele gation of manufacturers, merchants and commercial organizations waited on the arbitration meeting which is now proceeding here and urged the endorsement of the views of Secretary of War Garrison who wants the na- tion to prepare its navy and army for war. The leaders of the delegation pointed out that the commerce of the country could be destroyed with the greatest ease in war with any great naval power and as the nation is rich enough to make preparations they saw no good reasons why a powerful army and navy should not be main tained for protection.

SCHOONERS TOO HIGH
 TO BRING LUMBER HERE.

Several people are said to be wait ing for the coming of large amount of lumber and a fall in price before commencing building operations. The reports from time to time that a car go of lumber was about to be ship ped here have not materialized and it is now stated that the chief reason for not having shipped lumber is that freighters are holding their charter price too high. The present charter price is such that it would add two and a half or three dollars to the price of each thousand feet of lumber and this increase would make it cost about the same as it would cost by shipping on regular steamers.

MRS. VAN CAMPEN
 AT ANCHORAGE
TELLS OF CONDITIONS AT NEW GOVERNMENT R. k. TOWN
 ON COOK INLET.

That work on the permanent right of way of the government railroad has commenced at Anchorage is the information brought down by Mrs. Helen van Camper, the nationally noted writer, who returned this morn ing on the Alameda to spend few days in Seward. Mrs. van Camper camped at the new railroad town and made a careful survey of the life and conditions. The result of her obser- vations will probably soon be publish ed in that inimitable style of hers that won her fame. Mrs. van Camper says:
 Grading has advanced from the mud flats to the camp itself, and on May eighteenth gangs of men were excavating and filling in through the busiest section of the camp. Grading is also going on at two gravel cuts about two miles from tidewater, and tracks are being laid, and ties cut and piled, for dump tracks at these spots. The tundra is cleared from the ice, at present about eight inches from the surface, and exposure to the air melts at least some of the ice. The clearing gang in charge of Dan F. Leach, a veteran station man, from the Canad- ian Northern railroad, is about twen- ty-six miles out.
 At Eagle River, Mile fifteen, a permanent camp of boarted tents has been made. There is an engineers camp at Mile Four, and these men

SEATTLE, May 21.-A halibut schooner which has just arrived has in its possession a floating mine which it found off Cape Flattery. The skip per of the schooner refused to sur render the mine to the United States naval authorities and has been arrest ed. The discovery, naturally gives rise to rumors that the mine was laid by the Germans to destroy Canadian vessels although there is also a belief that the mine might be one of those laid by the Canadians themselves early in the war when the German cruisers were supposed to be contcm- plating an attack on Victoria.

$3,5OO TO BUILD
 SEWARD ROAD
MONEY COMES FROM FOREST RESERVE FUNDS RETURN
 ED TO TERRITORY.

Three thousand five hundred dol lars is the amount apportiOned the Se- ward district for the construction of roads from the forest reserve money which has been returned to the ter ritory by the Federal government. The total sum coming to the territory is slightly more than sixty thousand dollars which the legislature at it's last session divided up among the diff ferent sections. The amount received by the whole Third division was $l1,- 25O but later a further sum of $15,OOO will he available for the whole of AL aska of which this division will re- ceive a quarter. These facts were brought to mind yesterday by Senator o. P. Hubbard who was in Seward on a visit. During the session of the leg islature, Representative Noon says, Hubbard worked in a most friendly spirit in behalf of this section of the division and did good work. The work on the road with the $3,5OO made available will be done this sum- mer. In addition to the work with that money there will also be the money coming from poll taxes and these monies are, of course, separate from the Alaska Road Commission fund which is a separate cOnsidera- tion altogether.
