SAVAGE DISCIPLINE.
The Way Unruly Indian Boys Were
 Punished In Former Days.

The Way Unruly Indian Boys Were
 Punished In Former Days.
 My grandmother had twelve chil- dren, and one uncle undertook to teach me the art of worship. He used to lead me to the Sandbanks of the Mis- souri river, where he would set fire to a pile of driftwood. and then, talk ing me by the hand, sing sacred songs to the fire and river. In the mean time he threw into them offerings of tobacco. red feathers, and sometimes oak twigs. l never knew the meaning of these offerings, but l always felt that some living thing actuated both the fire and the river.
 Another uncle came to visit US peri odlcally, and every time he came my brother or l suffered at his hands. Sometimes be would rush to the spring, carrying me horizontally under his arm and would plunge my head into the water until I almost suffO- cated.
 Ills common form of discipline was to let me hang by my hands on the cross poles of the wigwam until my arms ached. My body writhed before I dropped. This uncle seemed to like best to command my older brother to tie my hands and feet with rope. Then he would order me to resist an ordeal that would make US both cry. In the winter he would also sometimes roll us in snow naked.
 The punishment of Indian children Is usually in the hands of some uncle rather than the parents. Our punish ments were inflicted generally because we had disobeyed grandmother by failing to get wood at evening, had resisted fasting, had fought some In dian boys or had cried without suf- Acient cause.-SOuthern Workmen.

Prominent Republicans Seek to Make Ii Winning Party,
NEAR VICTORY IN NOVEMBER
Patched Up Truce Between PrOsros- sives and Strict Partisans Nearly Brought Success In Last Election, It Is Pointed out-Viotory Would See Return of Complete Harmony.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Dec. 30.-[Special.l- From time to time men who are prom inent enough to speak for the Repub- llcan party or sections of it-that is, governors, ex-cabigSt members, sena- tors and representauves-turning their attention from the recent defeat to the prospects for the future, try to say what ought to be done to make 1t winning organization.
 Very few men concede that the Re publican party is dead or dlSintegrat- ing, although a few extremists hold that view. Most of those who have analysed the conditions and know how near they were to victory, with patch ed up truce between the factions, be- lieve that the future is not hopeless and that another campaign may see a winning organization.

FAME IN "A FEW WORDS.
Authors Who Arc Now Known Only by q Single Work or passaae.


 by Single Work or Passage. Philip James Bailey wrote "Festus" when he was twenty-three and lived to be eighty-six without adding appre- ciably to his early iaurels. His 'Fes- tus" was compared by enthusiastic ad. mirers to the works of Shakespeare and Goethe. No one reads "FeStus" now, but It's memory survives in one familiar quotation, a one time favorite for use in autograph albums: We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts.
 not breaths;
 In feelings, not in figures on Q dlai. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives .s.... Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts
 the best
 Bailey is very far from being tho only author to live in mems minds by virtue of a single line, stanZa or pas sage. It is a narrow margin by which to escape oblivion, but 1t serves. True, It is not the writer himself that Is re. membered, but as long as some spark from his brain still glimmers he IS not totally dead. It may be line from q song. Meet me by moonlight alone' and Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt2" are repeated as catchwords by thousands who never heard of J. Augustus Wade or Thomas Dunn Eng fish. Very often. however, the lines that survive are of high literary value. Theodore O'uara, soldier of fortune, wrote:
 On fames eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents arc spread,
 And glory guards with solemn round
 The bIvouac of the dead.
 By these four lines he won for him self admission to the eternal camping ground of poetry. ... William Knox, a Scotch Yersifer QTS9- 1S25), owes his fragmentary sur- viyal not so much to any great poetic merit in his mOrtuary couplets as to the indorsement of Abraham Lincoln, who loved to repeat:
 Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be
 proud?
 Like a fast fitting meteor. a fast flying
 cloud, -.- .. A flash of the lightning, a break of tho
 wave, He passes from life to rest in the grave.

q always think of Skagway as Home" That is the remark VIII Claysun made when he was speaking of leaving this city.
 That is a broad remark for R business man to make, and when g man who has reached the years that MT. Clayson has ,it means a great deal more.
 Skagway regrets the loss of such a man as Will from her circles of business men, for he has always been a progressive" and has al ways taken an active part in all matters that might be for the bet torment of the town. He has occupt'e a prominent position in social and lodge affairs, and in his business dealings he has always been Talr and generous. There is not one single case in the court records which will show that Will Clayson has ever invoked the law in try ing to collect a bill from debt or, nor is there a record in court wherein the law has ever been in voked to force a collection from him. He has given credit where credit was needed, and has never been unreasonable in demanding his pay
 It mas been with pride that we have pointed to the Clayson store as one of 'he prominent ones ot this city, and Skagway has had no need to be ashamed of doing so, for it has always presented the ap- pearance of a store which a city of many times the size of Skagway might rightfully be proud of.
 In parting we extend to MT. Clay son our heartiest wishes that he may continue to prosper, and we feel sure that in his new field his ueighLors will find that any con fidence they may entrust to him will not be misplaced.

RIVAL ALASKA CITIES

The tapping of the Matanuska coal fields and progress in the AL agka railroad construction have stimulated a strong rivalry between Seward and Anchorage as to which shall be the ultimate commercial metropolis and terminal of the gov eruuent line.
 Seward is just now asking for the construction of bunksrs and a fuel snoolv station for the vessels of the navy, to which Matanuska coal may be delivered next spring or summer. It is already the termtn- al Of seventy-one miles of road on the Alaska Northern railway, and will te connected with the new line iu another season.
 re Anchorage Times hears that th- government engineering commis sicn is to remove its headquarters from Seward to Anchorage on Janu- ary 1; that an army post is to be established there; that harbo improvements will be followed by the installation Of coal bunkers; that biz operators have applied for Matanuska coal leases and are to develop mines next spring. The Times calls for a United States land office and judicial division, with headquarters and a court house at Anchorage. We've got the votes and we're a political power" says the Times: ''let us employ our nower to get what rightfully be- longs 10 us"
 Seward, in turn, contends that it has a deep-water harbor, open the year around. and that Anchorage IS frontcd by shallow waters, closed to navigation durinv a portion of the year, and that the future metropolis of the Alaska coast will be found at Seward Seattle P. I.

Demands of Factions.

Washington Is quite q place to hear the expressions of opinions on politics. Men who are privileged to speak ire quently come to Washington and have their word of advice. So far 1t ap- pears from those men of progressive tendencies that the party was not pro- gressive enough in the last campaign and that the reactionaries were in com mand. On the other hand, there Is a note of distrust among the old guard or stand pat element of the party in the loyalty of those. who came back, or who were supposed to come back, when Hughes was nominated and con- sessions were made to the Progress sives. Both sides arc making demands and complaints, indicating a still bit ter feeling.

What Will Win.

There Is one important fact in poll tics, which is that conditions of the country make or break parties and In sure the success or defeat of a party. Good times continued the Democrats In power. Had hard times been upon the country the divisions in the ranks of the Republicans might have disap- peared and they might have won a great victory.
 As long as the Republicans are near ly equal to a victory, as long as they are just short of enough votes, there will be a pronounced independent ele- ment or elements making demands and insisting upon the elimination of this or that man or idea. AS soon as the conditions in the country restore the Republicans to power then the party will become the same fOrCeful, domi- mating factor, provided it has strong one man power to guide 1t and make all factions and men bow to his will. The unity of purpose in politics, II would seem, depends, like in gre many other things. upon the succ, of the party.

Missouri and Kansas Clash.

That old spirit of sixty years ago, created in the days of the "jayhawker" and the border rutiian," still lives and crops out when Missouri and Kan sas are in disagreement. It matters not what may be the politics of the Kansas men, when they differ with Missouri men they are fighting over an old issue which did not die with the civil war.
 Senator Reed and Senator Thompson gave an exhibition of the Missouri Kansas feeling when talking about the liquor question in the senate. Kansas is prohibitioD and, according to Thomp- son, is corrupted by the wicked Mis- sourians who send their wet goods across the border or tempt the Kan sans over the line to get drink.
 Publishers Aroused.
 From reports received in the way of telegrams and letters publishers all over the country are very much dis turbed over the proposition to increase
 
 is very great burden coming on top of the increased cost of paper While it hits the big periodicals the hardest, it hits a lot of smaller fellows hard enough to make it very great burden at this time. It affects the country papers to some extent and numerous farm papers that have a circulation beyond the 800 mic first zone.
 Still Missing.
 Members of the ways and means committee who must get up a bill to .aiSe revenue have been unable to find hat method of taxation which will prove popular. Just now 1t Is more difficult than ever, because so many methods of taxation were tried and all the least unpopular were put into the last revenue bill.
 'VerbaI Ferocity."
 Clashing over the prohibition bill, Senator Reed of Missouri and Senator Ashurst of Arizona indulged in rather sharp talk, and Reed, as usual, was very fierce and seemingly ferocious, which moved Ashurst to say:
 "The ferocity of my friend from Mis- souri is only verbal. He dearly loves joke on all persons except himself, and when the joke Is on him he is like hen on hot griddle."
