ARABIAN NIGHTS.

The order OF "Assassins" is as real as
history, The story of the founding of the
order. its principles and activities Is fas-
cinating and you will do well to read 1t in
full In any encyclopedia under the word
"assassins'' Also for peculiar story read
under Omar Khayyam. In brief, the order
was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, a
gifted Persian, said to have been a friend
of omar's. In 1890 A. d. and after. It was
an offshoot OF the sect OF Ismaili Moham-
msdan religio-polltical order. The chief diff.
ference was that Hassan's group made 1t a
practice 10 kill on, secretly all powerful
opponents. The instruments of these kill.
ings were kept In ignorance OF the purposes
OF the order and were given hasheesh (hemp
plant until. In exaltaton. they were ready
to obey all orders, Hasheesh was reduced TO
the irst part OF the word assassin. Hassan
himself was called the "old Man OF the
Mountains" and for $50 years his presence
or his name, and the band which psEpstu,
atsd his work. was the terror OF Persia. The
Mongol rulers OF Persia broke up the order
in 1a56.

POLICE REPORT STILLS
 MYSTERIOUS MURDER RCMOR

A statement has been received here from Mounted Police headquarters in Regina by the Dawson office, says the Dawson News, which sets at rest the somewhat mysterious reports which came down the Pelly river this win ter regarding the skeleton of man having been found on the Nahinni river, a tributary of the Laird, flow ing into the Mackenzie.
 According to the police two broth CTS by the name of Mcleod and a man named Weir were prospecting on the Nahinni in 1908. The Nc Leods perished during the following winter. Their partner Weir disap- peared and was also supposed to have perished.
 The police found the remains of the Mcleod brothers and buried them. No trace was found of Weir. It is now believed that the body found this winter was that of Weir, who pos |sibly perished from starvation. No foul play is suspected in the case of either of the deaths.

A Diplomatic Official,

During the reign of Emperor Napo. leon III. he and the empress visited Normandy and had arranged to spend a couple of days at Evreux. M. Jan vier de la Monte, who was the prefect, learned that the revolutionaries intend ed to hiss the sovereigns as they pass ed. and so he summoned the leaders of the movement and told them that he knew of their plot. If you carry out your plan." said he to them, you will get six months in prison. If you do not your friends will accuse you of cowardice and treason. As way out of the difficulty I propose to lock you up at once until the emperor has gone." The conspirators accepted the terms offered them. and so the emper- or was greeted only by cheers, as the revolutionaries, frightened at the ar rest of their chiefs. had not dared to utter sound.

PENS OF THE PAST.
Tho Old Time Quill and the Art of
 Putting Point on 1t.

Putting Point on 1t.
 Quill pens are no longer used except in rare old fashioned instances. but people still use "penknives"-you can see the name any day in the cutlery store windows-but they do not use them to make or mend pens. In fact. where is there man or woman who knows how to put point on quill? It was once an art which every man had to master. though women were generally bad at it. as they are now at sharpening pencils.
 In the old days the first question asked of schoolmaster was the one whether he was skillful in pointing quiIls, for he had to sharpen the pens of his whole school and incidentally in- struct his pupils in the art. Alas! There is no modern pen of steel or gold that is so smooth. so swift, so alluring as a good quill pen. The writer is very sure of that. for his father used to tell him so.
 The art of handwriting has certainly declined since the quill pen went out of use. The old fellows could really write. We still pay them an unconscious trib- ute by calling writer quill driver" and picturlng the pen. when- ever we have to make an abstract rep resentation of it, as a quill-New York Mail.

The Tail of q Fish.

A fish's tail is it's wings. Owing to the machinery of muscle set along its spine and to its cleaving form trout or salmon can dart through the water at tremendous pace. though its rap i'd flights, unlike the birds. are not long ones. It is soon tired. The water is not so friendly to flight as the air: The stroke of the fsh's tail is one of great power. and by means of it and the writhing. snakelike fexion of the body a high speed is reached. The strength behind this speed is shown in the way fish or sea mammal out of the water will raise its tail and strike the ground or boat.

TIMBER GRANTED FOR
 RAILROAD AT KATALLA

Application has been granted by the forest service to the Clark Davis Company at Controller Bay for all of the timber necessary for constru 'ticn work of the proposed railroad from Goose City to coal claims held by the company near Carbon mountain in the Boring fields.
 Recent developments indicate that there will be considerable activity in the Controller bay section this season
 The Clark Davis people have pur- chased the equipment of the old Car bon mountain railroad which was started from Goose City about the time the Guggenheims started to build road from Katalla.
 Goose City is located on the Con- troller bay elimination near the mouth of Edwards river, 15 miles to the southeast of Katalla and the line will extend about 20 miles north along the east bank of Boring river. The elimination includes 15,000 acres and beyond this the line runs .hru the Chugach forest reserve, but all the necessary rights of way have al- ready been granted.
 The original plan called for the construction of jetty or trestle over the mud flats of Controller bay to the south end of Kaniak island from which it was proposed that wharf be built into navigable water. How much of the old plan will be carried out under the present project is not known.

FINANCIAL ECONOMY.
One Mans Scheme When He Found His
 Capital Was Shrinking.


 Capital Was Shrinking.
 What one man did when he discover ed his capital was shrinking is told in the American Magazine:
 "A friend let me into secret of bis financial economy which strikes me as valuable. He is of middle age. with q small family. and has an income of S3, 500 a year. He has put by few thousand dollars. His investments are In gilt edged securities.
 At the end of every six months he figures out exactly the value of his property. Each share of stock. each bond is reckoned at it's present market price. and the sale value of his house is placed at the lowest figure. To the current value of his estate he adds his life insurance. The result is the capi- tai which would be available for the support of his wife and children should he suddenly die.
 At the last three reckonings my friend found that his capital was shrinking. There had been declines in certain stocks and bonds and q falling off in the value of his real estate. What did he do? Commiserate him. self? Not at all. He went to a life in- surance company and took out policy large enough more than to cover the shrinkage in his capital. Comparative ly speaking. it cost him very little. but it added neat sum to the value of his estate and guaranteed an unim- paired income to his wife,
