THE UBIQUITOUS TURKEY.

He Has Spread All Over the World
Desplts He Retiring Ways.
In every corner Of the globe almost.
at least where civilization has spread
its epicurean taste, may be found the
domesticated turkey-not. however. of
his own volition. Never would he, in
his Wild state. have sought TO cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and pastures new.
He Is not 40 constructed. He Is not
bold OF adventurous of disposition. On
the contrary. he is timid and much
afraid Of things he does not under
stand and when undisturbed is prone
to let well enough alone and get along
with his accustomed feeding grounds.
Again, as a fiier the turkey Is not a
pronounced success. He flies ponder
ously, almost painfully and with great
effort and only when very much fright
ened. His flight can be sustained for
only a short distance. bat what the
Wild turkey lacks as an aviator he
fully makes mp az sprinter.
He can outrun a race horse, especial
ly in his own native forest, where
underground and bushes seem but to
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even II he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand OF
man, first to Spain. then to other
Mediterranean countries, to northern
Europe, to the far east, until now he

WAKING DREAMS.
A Long Series Of Events Can Ne
Crowded Into a Few Seconds.

~ "S SsFiee " events IAN De
Crowded Into Few Seeonds
1t is more than likely that the great
majority of dreams belong to the few
moments when we are falling OF to
sleep and the equally brief time we
take to wake up. In fact, nothing is
more fully established than the fact
that an apparently long dream can un-
fold itself In an infinitesimal space of
time.
Alfred Maury relates how he had a
long and vivid dream Of the reign of
terror In France, which included his
trial before the revolutionary tribunal
and his execution. He actually felt
the guillotine fall. Yet that dream
from beginning to end was actually
caused by the fall Of a curtain rod
which struck him on the neck and
woke him up. The whole lengthy
dream lasted really a couple of sec
onds.
A well known writer in London was
sitting up late writing something he
much wished to finish Suddenly some
one came into the room and announc-
ed that he was called to go to Man
chester. He went out and packed his
bag and went to that city, where he
stayed several days and saw innumera-
BILE people. He returned In due course
and transacted a lot Of business In
town and actually contracted for and
started a new book
Yet when he woke with a start and
found 1t was all dream the ink of
the last word he had written was as
fresh and needed the blotting paper as
much as If 1t had only just been writ
ten. He could not have dozed longer
than ten econds.-Pearson's.

THE FIRST TROUSERS.

They Led to Ediots Against Their uss
In Some German States.
The latest instance Of a European
country enacting laws concerning dress
occurred at the time of the French
revolution. when some rulers of Ger
man states forbade their subjects to
wear trousers, these being held to indi.
cate revolutionary opinions. The cleo
tor OF Hesse- Cassel. besides prohibiting
the obnoxious garments, had the con-
victs employed on road sweeping Dress
ed In trousers so as to inspire disgust
for sans-culotte fashions.
The term ''sans-culotte" means with
out breeches," and during the French
revolution the "sans-culottes," who de-
nounced every one who wore breeches,
finally went beyond their opponents
and wore twice as much cloth around
their legs-in a word, adopted the mod
ern trousers and made them the badge
Of party.
Napoleon wore trousers on state &C.
casions after he had been crowned
emperor. His army was the first that
adopted trousers. and they kept prog
ress, step by step. with the march of
the French legions. The Duke OF
Wellington would insist on wearing
pantaloons-or trousers, as they are
now called-when he attended certain
social functions, although he was al
most alone in so doing. This was
about the year 1914, but by 1890 trous-
ers were worn by almost everybody

comets come originally from interstel-

 MURDER

T64 grand Jury, after an exhaust ty0 investigation into the death of Xouts Bchoenburg, who was murder "a at Chisana last December return "a . finding of not true bill and James Kingston who has been held under suspicion since last January, was cleared of the cloud under which he has existed since being bound over by the U. S. commissioner at Chisana. More than thirty witnesses were < rought from the Chisana district and Offered testimony before the grand jury. Among the witnesses were number of Indians who gave their evil dence thru an interprter.
 Louis Schoenberg was a merchant in the now nearly defunct placer camp, and was believed to be in the habit of carrying considerable quantity of gold dust about with him. He was last seen alive late on the af- ternoon of December 26th, and when he failed to appear at his store next morning search was instigated and his dead body found in a deserted cabin about one mile distant from his place of business A search of Schoen- burg's premises failed to reveal the poke of gold dust which he was be- lieved to have.
 The arrest of Kingston took place in January, and he swa taken to Valdez to await trial. The evidence against him was circumstantial and in the case of a number of witnesses the testi mony was mere suspicion. Kingston was not lacking in friends who stoutly maintained that he was innocent of the grave charges against him and he is now being congratulated in having been cleared from the charge.

overland the vast amount of machin- cry necessary.
 " It is obvious therefore, that noth- ing can be done toward installation of mill until the road is completed, say about three years from now. This is not a handicap, however, for no responsible corporation nor corpor- alton which has that amount of money at it's disposal would invest it until the ground was thoroughly prospected. To do this would take from $25,O00 to s50,000 per claim.
 Tt must be determined that the values existing on the surface extend below and tunnels and drifts must be driven to show a sufficient tonnage of ore in sight to warrant so great an investment. Mining is a science, not a gamble. The gamble would be the spending of s25,OOO on the pros pect holes.
 None of the men owing the ground have sufficient funds to prospect their own claims, and all of them put to- gether would have difficulty getting enough to thoroughly prospect one group of claims.
 The owners refused our offers, so unless some new man comes in who is willing to pay for the right to pros- pect, the prospecting of the district will be delayed. Steward Gateway.

DEADLOCK OVE R BROAD PASS
 CLAIMS

Negotiations between owners and prospective buyers of claims on the large lode of low grade ore at Broad Pass have ended in a deadlock. Flu ture dealings will depend upon the owners, unless some capitalist with sufficient funds to handle the propo- sition arrives to consider the present offer.
 Representative of the two largest mining interests in Alaska and from several lesser interests have been at Broad Pass and looked over the claims.
 One of these men is now in Seward. He is not seeking publicity at this time and only agreed to an interview on the understanding that his name be withheld. With this understanding he made he following statement;
