A Pirate's Model Kingdom.

Pitcairn island is in latitude 25 de grees minutes south and longitude 13O degrees minutes west, or almost exactly south of Vancouver island and just d little south of the tropic of Cap ricorn. It was first settled in 179O by nine mutineers from the English ship Bounty and eighteen natives of Tahiti. By the year 1908. when the island was discovered by the English. the popula' tion had grown to sixty-six persons, who formed a model community under the patriarchal government of John Adams. the only surviving mutineer. who had saved Bible from the ship and was ruling with wisdom and jus tice his little kingdom of slightly over two miles in length.

CHANEED HIS MIND.

Andrew Lang Didn't Like Stevenson
 When They First Met.
 Andrew Lang was the unyieiding enemy of everything that savored of decadence He particularly disliked the affected young aesthetics of the 1890's. And, although he came. as the world knows, to ise the devoted friend Of Robert Louis Stevenson. his first i'm pressions of him were most unfavora- ble, for he 1nistook him for an aes- thete of the aesthetes.
 In his book "tOnl the Trail of Steven son" Clayton Hamilton gives a record of Andrew La1rgs account of his first glimpse of Stevenson. Andrew Lang. 1t seems, practieed the conversational economy associated chiefly with fhe name of the late Alfred Jingle, Esq. MT. Lang said--and Mr. Hamilton jat- ted it down i1nnediately after in the London Underground-these things:
 "Mentone promenade. Saw him com ing. Didn't like him. Long cape. Long hair. Queer hat - queer. .Hands-white. bony. beautiful. Didn't like the cape. Didn't like the hair Looked like aesthete.

LINCOlN'S ARMCHAIR.

1t Had One Great Charm Despite Its
 Forlorn Condition.
 There is an interesting story of Abraham Lincoin's quaint humor that turns on his habit of sitting with his long legs thrown over one arm of his chair. That was a habit common among country lawyers sixty or seven ty years ago. and Lincoln never got over it.
 Very fond of the ease he found in old slippers. he would often meet his off cial family with them on his feet, and during cabinet meetings he would sometimes sit with one or both legs dangling across the chair.
 In the cabinet room was an arm chair which from the constant batter. ing of the presidential legs had grown weak and seemed almost ready to shake to bits A few days after Lin coln's second inauguration there was cabinet meeting. and one of the cabi- net ministers noticed the old chair and remarked on its rickety appearance.
 "1t seems to me-" he said as he gazed down on the old wreck that stood at the head of the table, "that the United States ought to furnish the president with better chair than that"
 Lincoln screwed up his face into comical smile.
 What Is the matter with that chair?" he asked. Shabby as it is, there are thousands of men in this country who would be delighted to occupy it"- Youths Companion.

FERTILE ALASKA.

 Great Possibilities.


 Great Possibilities.
 Alaska is an unknown world as to its farming resources. l stood on the hills near Fairbanks and looked over million or so of acres of tillable soil in the Tanana valley. The whole terri tory is said to have 5O,00O,OOO acres of possible farm lands. and the Aleutian islands will feed thousands of cattle. Here and there visited the home steaders. and l stopped for some time at all of Uncle Sam's experimental farms. Upon one of them the grain which stood in the fields reached to the height of my head. and saw them growing oats. barley and hay and even alfalfa. l saw potato patches that were yielding four tons to the acre and one potato field. which, I was told. had crop in the ground that will sell for $1O.OOO.
 Another surprise was the wild ber' ries that grow all over Alaska and another the wild flowers that make the sides of the hills and the lower slopes of the mountain blazes of color. l found plenty of grass everywhere. and in places the weeds were as high as my head. saw fat stock on the homesteads of the Panama valley and visited dairies which were supplying butter and milk to the towns and min ing camps near by. The Aleutian is- lands have a climate milder than Scotland. and on the island of Kodiak. which is as big as Porto Rico. they are now raising Galloway cattle and ,ong wooded sheep.-Cor. of Christian Herald

 WASHINGTON. Oct 3l.-Gernany has been asked To furnish the United States any information the imperial government may have concerning the sinking by submarines Of the British steamers Marina and Eowanmore. The request was forwarded. it became known tonight. through the American embassy at Berlin.
 It Is understood the state depart ment took this step without waiting for full reports from British sources and survivors of the ships because it was considered desirable to assemble at the earliest possible moment com plete information, particularly regard Ing the Marina, on which several American horse tenders apparently lost their lives. The request is informal and Is intended in no sense as an in- timation that German submarines have violated international law or the pledges of the German government to the United States
 There was no evident tension over | the case today in government circles Officials continued optimistic, appar- ently in the belief that the final ac- counts would show that the steamer 1 lost her immunity as a merchantmar | by flight or by attempting a counter attack As to the R0wanmore. which | admittedly sought desperately to es- | cape there seemed to be but one point 1 to clear up-whether the submarine actually fired upon boats leaving thu ship. as alleged by survivors.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. Oct 3l.- The alleged weakening postscript to the Iusitania note to Germany regard ing strict accountability" was again referred to by Senator Lodge at po- litical meeting here tonight.
 The president Of the nited States has denied that there was any post script to the Lusitania note and we are an bound. of course, to accept the presidents denial just as he makes it" said Senator Lodge.
 "I need hardly say he added. that I would not willingly bring an un- founded charge against any one high or low and if misled into doing so should be quick to retract it. The president makes one mistake. The statement which he characterizes as untrue. that there was such a post script. was not mine, but was made by Mir. Breckinridge, q former assistant secretary of war, according to the evil dence of two independen witnesses, both gentlemen of hIgn character. re- sponsihilty and veracity. and Mir. Breckinridge was in a position to know, if, as he Is reported to have said. he had seen the postscript. Bearing in mind the public and hitherto uncon- troverted fact that Mir Bryan had in- formed the Austro- Hungarian ambas- sador that the strict accountability note of May l5 meant nothing. which fact was at once cabled by the am hassador 10 Berlin, il seemed to me , that Mir. Breckinridge's statement as ' testified to by two Independents ought l properly to be laid before the public The president, it will also be ob- | served. sass that the clause proposing | Arbitration was suggested and that after consideration he rejected it.
