Purest Irish Blood.

The purest Irish blood is not to be
found in Galway proper, for the town
was long held by the English, and CEN
turtles ago it did an immense trade
with Spain that resulted in mixed mar
riages. producing sundry heads of
black hair and black eyes. But across
the little river, by the bay, is fishers
colony where the oldest Irish blood is
still pure. This little group have mar.
ried strictly among themselves, and
their stock is said to go back to Irish
natives who even antedated the Irish
Celts. They are still recognizable as q
slightly different type going about the
streets of Galway selling their fish, as
they and their fathers before them
have done for centuries.

Sudden Transformation.

An amusing incident occurred re.
Gently on an Edinburgh tramcar. A
small boy. who looked about eleven
years old, but whose face bore a frown
of world-weary cynicism, climbed to
the top deck of tramcar. When the
conductor appeared the small boy af-
fected a remarkable change in his IA
cial expression. The world-weariness
disappeared, the lines of experience
and cynicism smoothed out. In q iuye-
nile squeak the boy asked for "chil-
dren's" half-price ticket The small
boy waited until the conductor had de-
scended, and then came another quick
change. The world-weariness returned.
the lines that come from a life in the
money market and the lack-luster dull
ness came back. The small boy then
pulled out large cigarette case. Sc
lected fat cigarette, and laconically
asked another man for a light.

The man who drives a team at night
and who fails to have lighted lantern
attached is taking a variety of chances.
He is dcfying the law and is liable to ar
rest, prosecution in court, with a fine
and costs as the only alternative in case
a complaint is made against him. He is
inviting an accident on the highway
as vehicle not marked by a light is
more liable to collision with automobile
motorcycle or other conveyance than q
team which carries a light. In case OF
accident the man who drives the IN
lighted team has no redress. The othel
lparty may have been at fault entirely
but the man who did not have light
displayed has no case. He may. how
ever, be made the defendant in a suit a
law on the ground that he caused TIN
accident by not carrying a light

Eternal VioiJance

Walk through the fields or along the
edge of the woods, however, quietly.
and the insects in the grass, the min
nows in the stream, the mice amid the
fallen leaves, the chipmunks in the
stone wall, the birds and squirrels in
the trees, skurry away or shrink into
hiding until you pass. If you go nois-
lily the panic will be greater and more
widespread. Field-naturalists and ang-
lers know that only when they keep
quiet and motionless can animal life be
seen and studied effectively.
These facts do not imply any special
fear of man, as man; they simply show
the feeling in every animals mind that
everything alive, and especially every
thing larger than itself, is to be feared
and avoided until it is known to be
harmless or is safely escaped.

HUNT DOWN THE SPIES.

One OF the first essential thing;
this government must do is to hun
down and punish the spies who are
furnishing to Germany information
about the movements Of our armed
forces and the doings OF our govern
ment with reference 10 the war
It has developed that the departure
Of the American destroyers for Brit
ish waters was known to the German
government before it was known to
the people OF our own country. Al.
though no information was published
In the United States or elsewhere
about the expedition until the ships
had arrived on the other side Of the
Atlantic. Berlin Official circles knew
all about it AMI had time to direct
measures to stop or destroy the notil-
la
These measures fortunately failed
but il was not the fault Of those who
furnished the information to the Ger
man government. Such information
necessarily had to come from this
country and from some source very
close 10 the White House or the Navy
Department because unofficial Wash
ington Itself did not know that the flo
tilla had been dispatched.
II is highly important that the
strictest scrutiny be made in the en-
deayer TO locate this mysterious
source of information If il is found
there should be no delay in administer
ing the limit Of punishment.
We would hate TO think that Am
orleans are involved in a scheme of
this sort, although it appears more
plausible than that Germans are re
spousible for it, Germans are natural,
ly subjected to closer scrutiny than
Americans and any suspicious action
OF the part Of a German in or about
the capitol or in army or navy cir
cIes would Immediately bring on an
So, II would seem like
ly that this nefarious and dangerous
espionage is being done by our own
citizens, in that event, death is the cx
treme but in every respect the proper
penalty.

The EMPIRE OF ALASKA

In 1867, William H. Seward insisted
that the United States Government
buy Alaska The price paid was ST.
100000. People sconed and rallied
and jeercd at Stewards Ice Box"
Last year the territory exported
twice her purchase price in gold alone
six times her purchase price in cop
per, three times her purchase price in
fish Her total commerce for the
year approached one hundred and
twenty millions.
And still Alaska is land Of thrills.
She has scarcely stepped across the
threshold Of the vast prosperity that
VIII be hers. The half billion OF dol
lars she has given these United
States during the course of the last
half century wilp be doubled many
times before the century Is closed.
And now they tell us that the farm
ing area alone Of Alaska is as large
as the combined total area of Penn
sylvania, Maryland Delaware, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Vermont and New Hampshire. We
are told that Matanuska potatoes
weigh a pound and half, we are
shown tprnips and rutabagas that
weigh from II to 1 pounds apiece
We are fed lettuce and Strawberries
that might have been grown in Flor
ida.
Is this Stewards lice Box" "se-y
wards Folly" Stewards Arctic Polar
Bear Preserye?"
A map of Alaska superimposeS
upon chart of the United States
shows a spread of territory extending
from the Atlantic ocean at Charles
ton to the Pacific at a4os Angeles,
from Canada to Lake Superior to the
state of Sonora
Her 5S6,4O0 square miles comprise
a domain one-lifth as large as the
United states, and quite as varied,
both in climate and in resources.
Why, then. did Alaska lie so long
undiscovered? Lack Of concrete
knowledge. prejudice born of ignor-
ancc, have retarded the development
of the territory up to very recent
date. Tho effect on the country has
been psychological rather than intcn-
tonal, but the results have been the
same.
Until The present administration as
sumcd control at Washington it wac
very difficult to get the federal gov
ernment TO do anything for its great
northern country. Since March a,
