THE ANTIQUITY OF ALASKA

Long before California was more than a myth, before the Columbia was discovered, before there was a United States, Alaska had been par tially explored and settled. If Chi nase records are to be believed, the discovery Of Alaska auteuates the Journeys of the Norsemeu to GEeen- land and across the Atlantic. Ac- cordiug to these records, a Chinese Buddhist priest trayersed the Alas kan shore iu 4yg A. D. h I'll the Cossacks Of Russia were hunting sable in Alaska. h 172+ Peter the Great with his own hand wrote the instruction for the expedition that led tc the discovery and eNplora- tiou ot Beriug sea, and in the 1oI- lowing century Spanish, English and French uayigators again and again headed for the Alaskan cosat in vain effort to find the northwest passage from the Pacific to the At Iantic. The record of these eNplor- atioas constitute most important phase Ill the history of America.
 l. IS gratifying to learn that, CO incident with the beginning Of con struc,iou on the government rail way, Alaska is to receive practi- call, complete library. covering its entire history from the Middle Ages to he present. James Wickersham' Alaska,s territorial delegate to congress. with several associates, has collected from the libraries of haG a dozen European countries every known work on early Alaskan explorations, substituting photo g-avu!c copies when the original could not be obtained In addition this library has been en- ricbed by the addition of modern books, of magazine aud nevs,aDer articles. until it be- comes a permanent record of almost ever printed utterance of Alaska. To the future historian this collec- ton will be fully as important as the Bancroft collection has been to the students of Western American histcry.-EX.

naFes to the onrushing touring car. She had been dubbed Olympia by r,ofe's sister. who deemed the name not only eunhonious, but an apt allu- sion to q slight lameness with which the mare was afflicted. For the rest Olympia was blind of one eye and very timid about automobiles, at which sba invariably shied. This was eyi- denced by a certain switching of her attenuated tall, and at periods of great emotion, such as a locomotive might engender, she waggled her right ear.
 When Jimmie Brennan stepped from the New York express to the platform of the little flag station at Gooders Corners, 0lympia's ear and tail twltch- ed a frenzied equivalent to the run hing away of the normal horse, and Lafe was alarmed in proportion.
 'Whoa, dern yer" he beloved. What aiIs yer?" He seized the lines with a tense grip and sat bolt upright, prepared for any emergency, as Jimmie approached. "I never see nOthin' like it!" he declared. This blame hoss can't never git used to no engynes. l bet I druv her down here four times, countln' this year an last an she al- ways kicks up the same folderol"
 Jimmie flung his valise on the back of the wagon and climbed up beside Lafe.
 That's right" Lafe said. "Jes' make yerself ter hum. I'd let yer drive, but l dassen't trust her to yer"
 After a sharp "Gidapw from Lafe, the old mare moved slowly away from the tracks. Jimmie and his host main- tained an embarrassed silence. The boy furtiYely glanced at his employers cousin and made mental note of the ragged fringe of whiskers that adorned the farmers neck. AS Lafe shifted q huge mouthful of tobacco from cheek to cheek his Adams apple jerked con- vulsively. Apparently, it roamed about at will, and disappeared beneath his shirt collar only to bob up among the thicket of whiskers with an agility that completely fascinated Jimmie.
 Say" he said at length and by way of conversation, twas you ever 10 Pas tor's?"
 Lafe bestowed the Cud in one corner of his mouth, voided q pint or so of the attendant moisture and wiped his lips on the back of his hand.
