Vermont's Example

So far as numbers go, Vermont is
a small state-36O,OO0 people. Only
six states in the Union have fewer.
But the governor of this trim,
fighting little bantam has asked the
legislature for 100000 that Yer
mont may bear more than its share"
of the duty of national defense.
No other state, not even those ten
times as big, have appropriated more
In proportion to population, Vermont
has far outclassed all the rest.
1--WE always have done more than
our share, you know" says the gov
ernor, with simple pride. Righto,
governor. The record says so, and it
begins with Ethan Allen and some of
Stark's men and runs straight, fine
and true American all the way down.
Anyway, salute little old Vermont!
Old and always young! The governor
says it believes in action, not in
words.-Colorado Springs Telegraph.

CHAIN COOPERATIVE
 STORES FOR ALASKA

Plans are in the making for an immense cooperative department store and Supply house in Alaska. The headquarters will be at Jun eau, with branches at ketchikan, Wrangell and Anchorage. It is the plan of the promoters to have each esta blishment a modern sup ply house for miners, fishermen and boatmen, while the retail de- partment will carry everything needed ty the general public.
 Probably no city in the United States today offers so many mer- cantile advantages as either Jun- eau or ketchikau, while Fairbanks, located in the interior and soon to be the terminus of the Government railroad, offers rare opportunity for new dry goods store, general merchandise store, machine and blacksmith's shop, combined hard ware and ship chandlery.

LITERARY HOBBIES.
Even Railway Time Tabiee May Make
 Interestinu Readinq,

Rudyard Kipling finds both pleasure and profit in reading the dictionary, and this habit largely accounts for his wonderful knowledge of words. his rich vocabulary and his newness in the use of words. He does not cOnfine him. self to the ordinary dictionary. He likes to look at slang edition or dic- tionary of a dialect.
 There Is d certain noble lord who loves nothing better than turning over the pages of Bradshaw. spying out all the ways to anywhere, all the branch lines and noting the railway stations . with queer names. He Is an adept in all railway lore and Is often referred to by his brother peers when a moot point is raised about the iron roads of the world, for his knowledge extends from Charing Cross to New York via Yoko- hama
 But probably the queerest literary hobby was certain doctors predilec- tiOn for reading an old file of the Lon- don Times. He said 1t made him bet ter contented with things at present to sec how thin-s were muGd.ed up twen- ty years ago. He found politicians just as quarrelsome and the comments just as caustic. and yet he concluded:

Chjna's Altar of Heaven.

There Is no altar on earth which vies in marble majesty with the Altar of Heaven-Tien Tan-in the south of the Chinese city of Peking. which Elm. peror Yung Le of the Ming dynasty reared in A. D. 1420. with its triple balustrades. stairs and platforms of pure white marble carved miraculous ly. its great circle covering a wide area in the midst of a vast inclosure. Standing alone, deserted under the blue Chinese sky, 1t Is a dream of ma jesty and beauty. As the great setting of a scene of ritual pomp that calls for thousands and thousands of robed celebrants with music, incense, sacri- flee, it is transcendently imposing and impressing. There the emperor knelt once a year and worshiped the only being in the universe he could look up to"-shang Ti-the emperor of the world above. whose court was in the sky and the spear tips of whose sol diers were the starr.

ALASKA GOING DRY

Old Timer, have you heard the news? Alaska's going to cut out booze and henceforth will that froz- en cline subsist on pop and seltz- cred lime, and miners from the frozen hills in buttermilk will bathe their gills and klondike Pete and Rough House Liz will quench there thirst in kickless fizz and mushers chilled on Arctic trips will drink beef tea and smack their lips.
 The roadhouse will no longer cheer the train-worn soul with hootch or beer; the mining camp will silent be, except for miners drinking tea. No more they'll seek D. Rum of nights and get lit up like Northern Lights, since none may buy or steal or mooch one tiny little shot of hootch. And Yukon Ike, the good old soul, will have to shinny up the pole, and soon we'll see Hell-R oarin' Pete, upon the water wagons seat.
 The sourdough when he wants drink will amble to the Yukon's brink, ard quaf horn of H2o, harmless drink as we'll you know; then go his way ir Search of gold and sing an ode to cold Water. and when he makes a Stake he Il go to camp and buy a drink or so, of orangeade, near beer or lime. and swear he had ripping time.
 Not like the days of old, not much; John Barleycorn Is now in Dutch, from Sitka to the Arctic shore, and Forty-Rod will cheer no more, the hardy Argonaut for he, has climbed the pole like you and me.-Anacortes (Wn. ) Ameri- Can

Glover Hindu Juggiers.

It Is admitted that the Hindu jug, glers and acrobats are the most skill. ful in the world One of the latest re- ports Is about a performer who went through many wonderful feats perch. ed on the top of single bamboo stick about fifteen feet in height The top of the stick was lied to a girdle around the waist and leg rest was provided by a cushion few feet down the pole. Perched on this slender stick. he hoppsd and danced round in the hveliest way. accompanied by the tapping of a drum. He did other things even more wonderful. For ex- ample he balanced light stick on his nose and heavy one on his chin and then threw the heavy one into the air with his head and caught 1t on the end of the light one. While balancing the two sticks thus end on end he made one revolve in one direction and the other in another direction

Plenty of Time For Action.

The police magistrates so often ad- monish women complainants to come back and report any further wrong doing cn the part of husbands who have been released that these judges fall into the habit Of repea ting the ad- monition on every occasion in which a man and wife are concerned.
 The other day woman told one of the magistrates that her husband had threatened to kill her.
 "Very well. madam" said the magis- trate mechanically. "very well: if he does you come back and tell me. and will punish him." Case and Com ment.

Independent Steamship Company Being Formed
Railway and Marine News

A new and independent steam ship company is being formed with head office at Prince Rupert, B. C., for operation in Southeastern Alas ka. The company, by keeping within the American coastwise laws and complying with the U. s. Gus toms requirements, can easily keep within the law and at the same time operate under foreign flag, which exempts it immediately from interference by the new Shipping Board, regulation by the Inter- state Commerce Commission, or any of the clauses of the Seamen S Act. It can raise or lower ratesssat will, make contracts for the. can neries, grant concessionssand gen. erally operate it's business as it sees fit, without fear lof any..reg- ulation whatsoever. ....
 Referring again to the new steamship company that is being organized, it plans to operate as an independent company but will receive freight from and deliver to the Grand Trunk Pacific Ky. It IS understood that 4, 900, 900 cases of salmon have already. been con- tracted for and one steamship has been arranged for the commence ment of operations.
 Railway & Marine News has pre- viously shown how Seattle Could protect it's halibut industry--not by memorials to Congress to get silly legislation passed for the ben eft of one or two operators in ketchikan but to start the fight right here at home by forcing the waterfront wholesaler to pay IS cents for halibut, and as this has been accomplished through the ex- elusive agency of Railway and Marine News, it is thought that this papers suggestion on the new situation might also be followed.
 Eliminate the work of all Boards of Trades, Chambers of Commerce or Commercial Clubs, as changing the laws will not accomplish any thing. On the other hand, start a campaign in Juneau, Ketchikan and Seattle, first 10 get the various business men properly lined up and shown the error of their ways, and then assist the railroads and steamships, jointly, in their efforts to so adjust their rates that they can handle this business with dis. patch. Unless this is done Seattle is surely going to lose some of it's canned salmon, which is going to follow the trail oi the halibut.

"pray Before Being Married"

Here is n Russian proverb that might be made good use of. It cer- tainly would dispel a multitude of sor- rows. especially the last one. which would prevent many hasty marriages and relieve the courts of many divorce cases It takes matrimony out of the pale of whims and makes a divine con sideration of it. The proverb runs this way:
 'If you go to war. pray: if you go on sea journey. pray twice. but pray three times if you are going to be married"
 Good advice. all Of 1t. There is too much that is hysterical in the matri- monial venture. and little praying will tend to relieve the mind.--Ohio State Journal.
