Humorous Jane in Juneau Sunday Post
 We wish to announce to the parents whose children-boy children, we mean who are over nine years of age, that our interesting "hopeful' is, although scared and disfgured, still able to be seen on the school ground, snd if the parents of the other boys really wish it Humorous Jane will let her boy fight. We like to stay out of a scrap as lcng as we can, but when we give the signal our kid will go the limit, and he'll fight as he is told. We'll tell him to fill his pockets full of rocks, so that after his knuckles are all broken he can fellow the other kids home and fire the rocks through the front windows of the kids houses He'll follow up the system that was started on the school grounds recently and clean up just like Sherman cleaned Georgia If the school authorities cannot stop the system of the big boys licking the little ones Humorous Jane can You can stop any fghtin' game that comes up by prosecuting the same to the limit It's just like law-if you want it re- pealed see that it's enforced to the letter ; then the people won't have it, If the school authorities want this fghtin' to go on we'll see that the children fight,

HE SAW A FRONTIER TOWN

Harry E. Nolan of Forks, Wash, veteran of two months service last fall in the French army, has added little far Northern ven ture to his experiences. Mr. Nolan returned to Seattle yesterday after having spent sev- eral months in business in the new town of Matanuska Alaska He says there was pretty near as much excitement in Mata- nuska as there was in the war trenches of France Of Matanuska he said yesterday
 '1 am glad that 1 lived in Matanuska, as l saw town that I did not believe could exist in these days. We had real iron tier town-open gambling blind pigs with their eyes wide open and looking for GUS toner's and I even had the pleasure of attending an old-fashioned miners meeting, which gave notice to an undesirable indi- vidual to get out of town within few minutes One other person who was To- cated in the business district was declared menace to the prosperity and business life of the city. A miners meeting was keId on this case and the offender was ordered to move to the outskirts. The or der was not compiled with, and the miners picked up the house, occupant and all, and moved the whole concern bodily. .'-Seattle Post -Intelligencer

GET READY FOR IMMIGRANT

How shall we take care of the great immi- grafton tide to this country which will fol low hard upon the heels of peace in Europe? | it will come in mighty force there can be
 no doubt. Immigration following the Franco
 Prussian war was record-breaking, while the Russo apaneSe war tremendously stlmu- lated immigration from Russia. At the close
 of the present war; with the industries of eight great nations prOstrate, with all Europe , indercapit alized, with her finances so crip- pled as to be unable to give adequate em-
 ployment to labor there will be such rush to this country as has never before been witnessed
 For the first time in the history of this country an opportunity will be presented to i these immigrants to get on a steamship at home and sail direct to the Pacific coast of the United States via the Panama canal. ! What this will mean to the Pacific coast Is
 beyond conjecture. The Eastern cities and
 states already have received all the immi- 1 grants they can we'll care for. Land IS high
 and makes no special appeal to the immi- | grant; but land is cheap in the South and on the Pacific coast. Ships could stop at ell the Southern ports as far as New Or leans and Galveston, wherever settlers are needed, and then go on to the great Pacific
 coast. The vast majority of immigrants from Europe are agricultural If they could be shown how cheap American farms may be bought, and how low the taxes are con-
 pared to what they have been accustomed to- and what great returns would come from
 intensive cultivation, vast army could be
 diverted to the land.
 Nor will there be the same return to
 Europe as in the past; and the yearly say
 ings, amounting to S275,000,000 or $500, 1 100000, usually sent back to the mother cour Fies, will be left here for investment
 It will take efficient advertising to convince the immigrant of these opportunities, but
 Canada has gotten a fine class of agricul-
 tural settlers in this way. and there is no reason why the United States, with even
 greater opportunities, might not be able to do so Dr. Frederick C. Howe, commis- sioner of immigration predicts that immigra-
 ton of all kinds will rise to an unprece- dented height when the war is over, and
 that host of widows, crippled soldiers and rovers from the armies of Europe will be part of our heritage from the war. Those likely to become public charges will have to be carefully scrutinized but there will re- main 9 vast number of desirable immigrants

THE WARM BATH

Smythe's mistake which is described in an English contemporary, says the Youth : Ccnparion, must have been disconcerting t. Say the least
 You'll find your bath in the out'ouse" 7"
 Thus he had been directed the night be. fore at the little inn where he was stopping, and that is why he was now, in his dressing gown, pushing open the outhouse door It was dark, but there was the tub, and it would do. He hopped in. In the middle of his ablutions the red-faced landlord thrust his head in at the door. In the dim light he failed to see the man in the tub.
 "Water quite nicely warm, thanks" ob- served Smythe, "but it's a trihe muddy
 Muddy be hanged" roared the landlord, bursting in suddenly. Your tubs in the next place, Git out of it, you bhtherin' idiot! Not word of this in the 'ouse, mind. not a word of this in the ouse That's my 'onle brewed ale you're a-washn'

A CAT OR A FATHER

In his Life of Thomas B. Reed" Samuel w. Mccall tells this story about the former speaker, who was an unusually large mal.: / When his daughter Katherine, or kitty, ds he called her, was little girl she had a cat to which she was much devoted. One day the kitten was sleeping in Reeds chair when he was about to sit down. His daugh- ter in horror, gave the chair sudden pull to save the cat from annihilation, and as a result Mir. Reed sat down heavily on the floor It was rather serious happening for man of his size, and even lesser man might easily have lost his temper. But the only notice he took of the matter was to say gravely after he had got on his feet, kitty, remember that it is easier to get another cat than another father"

THE SILVER LINING

War does not make all men bIoodthirsty. On the banks of the Yser, in Belgium, where there has been such fierce fighting, the ambulance men one day found young German badly wounded; and in the midst of the bursting shells they stopped to scrib- be line describing what they had seen and heard, and pinned it on the blanket that enveloped him.
 When he reached the improvised hospital the nurses read the blood d-stained sheet of packing paper, and one or two brushed away tears as they did so. It bore these words :: "He saved the lives of seven British sol diers" It is good to know that, tenderly cared for by an English doctor, he eventu- ally recovered-Youth's Companion.

THE JOLLY SAILORMAN

Just before the Farragut passed by the last time a schooner with a cargo that in cluded barrel of whisky was sailing into Kodiak with two men for crew The man who was steering during the daytime threw over the anchor but kept the sails hoisted, and the other man came to steer for the night. The wind was fresh and the waves beat around the stationary vessel so that tie steerer in the dark thought he was making good headway until day broke, and he found he was still the same distance from shore, Then up came the day pilot with large quantity of the whisky stored away inside his belt, and with alternate shifts to port and starboard- Seward Gate way

Little James, aged 6, had been taught to rray each night for all his relatives and friends, and consequently the list had grown quite large So one night when it came to say them.
 Well we'll, James!' said his mother Why won't you say them? All good little ooys say their prayers"

TO ADVANCE CREMATION

The Cremation Society of America, at its recent convention in Buffalo, adopted reso- !utions calling on the Congregation of the Inquisiton of the Roman Catholic church to abrogate the decrees of May and De- eember, 1886, prohibiting the cremation of Roman Catholics, and also calling upon President Wilson to appoint Dr. Hugh Erich sen. president of the cremation association, to place on the inactive list of the United States medical reserve corps so that Dr. Erichsen may submit to the surgeon gen eral of the army a report upon cremation on the battlehelds.

WHAT HE WANTED

Arthur H. Engelbach, in his collection of anecdotes of the bench, tells this story about Lord Braxfeld, who was among the last of the Scotch judges that rigidly adhered to the broad Scotch dialect:
 "Hae ye ony counsel, mon?" he said to Maurice Margot when placed at the bar
 "No," was the reply.
 Do ye want to hae ony appointit ?" con- tinued the judge.
 "No," said Margot. q only want an in terpreter to make me understand what your lordship says"

Amsterdam The bombardment Is de-
scribed as one of the heaviest in this re-

from Flushing:
Several British warships, accompanied
by destroyers and other vessels, yester-
day bombarded Zeebrugge and the Ger
man batteries off Heyst, Blankenberghe
and Knocke. The bombardment was one
of the heaviest since the beginning Of the
war and also Of the longest duration.

CODE BOOK FOUND
AMONG Won |CEL
SEIZED PAPERS

New York. April 25.-The documents
seized by federal agents when they raid
ed the Office of Wolfe Won Igel gained
new Importance today through an an
nouncement that among them was Ger
man code book. This code. it is said. I'M
locked valuable information, since many
Of the Won Igel papers are In cipher. The
documents are now in the keeping of the
department Of justice in Washington.
Evidence received by the federal grand
jury investigating the alleged plot to de-
stroy the Welland canal convinced the
United States district attorney today
that the government can legally deny the
demand of the German ambassador for
the return of these papers. Arthur A.
Hassell, a real estate agent, who was a
witness yesterday, declared that when
Won Igel leased the office here on June
"a, 1916. he made affidavit that the rooms
were to be used by him IAN as advertis-
ing agent and for no other purpose" This
evidence, the federal authorities hold, re-
flutes the claim of Ambassador Won Bern
storff that when federal agents raided the
rooms and arrested Won Igel they violat-
ed an Office Of the German embassy.
