WAR NOTES By Carl Sandburg

and refuse to stand up with the
crOwd-when The Star Spangled
Banner" was played. Yet barrow is
for war now and war to the limit for
a German republic.
Over in France is GUstave HeTve,
who spat on all flags and cursed ma
tiOnalism more elOquently and pic
turesquely than any internatiOnalist
in the running. And now Herve is
for war and war to the limit for a
German republic. Only today comes
the news that Herve, the French syn
diCaist and reVOlutiOnist, wants 100,-
900 men from this country thrilling
the western battle front with the
American flag.
A refusal to stand up when the ma
tOnal flag anthem is played may in
dictate much or nothing. A. A.
Sprague and Ogden McCIurg, idle
rich sciOns, are taking a farcicaI way
Of serving the flag. Joe MediH Pat
tersOn and Marshall Field III. are
doing a better job of saving the ma
ton. They are riding artillery and
cavalry horses, whereas Sprague and
McCluTg are still sticking to the On
wentsia polo ponies.

WITNESSES CUT OFF
 FROM PART REQUISITES

h a circular issued by the de- pertinent of Justice received by the local federal officials is contained provisions which tend to abolissb witness fees heretofore allowed. Ill the past, when a witness was compelled to travel 100 miles or over that distance he was allowed his actual travelling expenses, includ. ing bis roadhouse bills, and also ho- tel expenses while in attendance at court. Ill addition to this ha 1aa also allowed the regular four dol lars per diem while in attendance at court, and also on the journey both ways. Witnesses coming within the hundred mile radius were allowed the regular mileage of 15 cents per mile and the regular per diem al- lowance.
 The new order will do away with the per diem allowance If tho witness is allowed his actual traV- cling expenses and hotel expenses while ill attendance at court. The hundred mile limit is also done away with by this order, and any witness now has the right to choose whether he will travel on the regu- lar mileage or at the expense of the government.
 The new order increases the mile- age allowance for witnesses before the commissioner court from five cents per mile to 12 cents per mile, Valdez Prospector.

To the Boy of the
 Twentieth Century

So live that your afterself-the man you ought to be-may in his time be possible and actual. For away in the twenties, the thirties. of the twentieth century be Is awaiting his turn. His body, his brain, his soul, are in your boyish hands. He cannot help him. self.
 What will you leave for him? Will 1t be a brain unspoiled by wrong liV- ing. or dissipation, mind trained to think and act, a nervous system true as a dial in its response to the truth about you?,.
 Will you, boy of the twentieth cen tury, let him come as man among men in his time. or will you throw away his inheritance before he has had the chance to touch it2
 Will you let him come, taking your place, gaining through your experience, hallowed through your joys, building on them his own, or will you fling his hope away, decreelng wantonlike that the man you might have been shall never be?-Dayid Starr Jordan.

Water Pressure.

As early as 164s a Frenchman of science named Pascal experimented with pressures applied to liquids and discovered the following law: A pres sure applied to any part of the sur face of a liquid is transmitted. un- changed in amount in every direction through the liquid.
 Perhaps the most familiar applica- tion of Pascars law is the hydraulic press. In that machine pump having a small piston drives water into large cylinder and thereby forces upward a large piston, which congresses what, ever is placed between the platform of the piston and the fixed crossbeam at the top of the press. If the area of the larger piston is 100 times that of the smaller downward force of one pound exerted on the smaller piston will create an upward force of 100 pounds upon the larger piston.

 True, the members of the Volunteer Fire Department get slight remuneration in case "water'is used, but does that slight remuneration always pay for the clmhes that are ruined, or the days of los time that may follow a cold contracted by reason of getting a drenching at some chimney afire that for a moment threatens the de struction of the building, and may be the town?
 No, that few dollars only goes a short way towards getting cleaned up after call of fire, and does not in the slightest show the ap- preciation of the merchants, the residents, or others for the organ iza ion, or of the knowledge that tn organization has of the fire hy- drauts, the fire apparatus, the To- cation of the axes, the ladders, the spaIners, the respirators, and the thousan: and one things that each member Of the organization must have before he is member of the Volunteer fire department

GLAD BONE DRY
 BILL WAS PASSED

F. D Labbe, representing the Marshall-Wells Hardware Company out of Portland, arrived in skag- way on the s. s. Spokane last sat urday. -
 MT. Labbe iss covering the field formerly looked after by AIr. Stock well, and as he is a cheechako, the trail is made pretty tough for him by his brother Knights of the Grip.
 The table of distances in Alaska is an ever source of worry to Mr. LaDbe, and he never loses an op- portunity of wising up, when the information is offered him. One of the late obstacles which he has overcome was to figure out how he could get from Nome to Valdez by way of Wiseman and Fairbanks. He said he was glad to hear that Wash ington had passed the bone dry law for Dawson, and he felt confident that when the new government rail- road was completed that there would be lots of tourists make the trip from Iditarod to Teller.

Limbs of the Mind

As our bodies, to be in health, must be generally exercised, so our minds, to be In health, must be generally cul- tivated. You would not call a man healthy who had strong arms, but was paralytic in his feet; nor one who could walk we'll, but had no use of his hands; nor one who could see well, though he could not hear. You would not vol. untarily reduce your bodies to any such partially developed state. Much more, then, you would not, if you could help 1t, reduce your minds to it. Now, your minds are endowed with a vast number of gifts of totally different uses-limbs of mind, as 1t were, which if you don't exercise you cripple. One Is curiosity-that is, gift, a capacity of pleasure in knowing, which if you destroy you make yourselves cold and dull Another Is sympathy-the power of sharing in the feelings of living creatures, which if you destroy you make yourselves hard and cruel. An other of your limbs of mind is admira. hon-the power of enjoying beauty or ingenuity, which If you destroy you make yourselves base and irreverent
 Another is wit or the power of playing with the lights on the many sides of truth, which if you destroy you make yourselves gloomy and less useful and cheering to others than you might be. So that in choosing your way of work 1t should be your aim, as far as possi- ble, to bring out all these faculties as far as they exist in you; not one merit nor another, but all of them.-Ruskin.

Teaching Birds Tricks.

4 professor of natural history re- flutes the statement so frequently made that teaching q bird to draw water needs apparatus and that the learning is cruelty to the bird.
 "The following experience of mine" !" be says, proves that 1t is not so by any means. We bought a young bird last January, so wild that on our ap- proach 1t flew madly round the cage We hung the cage low and by patience, after the bird got used to our proxim- tty, induced 1t to take groundsel, first held at stems length, then between the fingers, finally from the lips. We used to let him out freely, and he would perch on the loaf next me at break fast. His perch projected through the wires, and here was his faVorite seat when at liberty. Then I tried hanging a bit of groundsel by short string to the projecting stick. After inspection he pulled it up with his beak. On lengthening the string with fresh bit of his preferred weed I had the pleasure and interest of seeing him pull up the string with his beak till the flower head was within reach, catching the slack after each pull with one foot and then transferring 1t to the other, so that the coils were quite neat"-London Globe.

All of the gold is above the timber line, Willow creek is the only stream of this character that has ever beer discovered in the North, and, SC far is known, in the world. A similar condition is found on a tributary of Willow Creek.

Eight paying claims had been discovered when the snow began to tall and the rivers to freeze.

a los dos dias hay que bajar la racion
