The Pleasures Of Travel.

"Wa-al-p'tu-no," said the ancient
Arkansawyer, II hain't never did much
of what you'd call travelling. I was 81
years old last grass; born and raised
right here in Shagbark township, and
hain't been outside Of the county but
once. That was when was about 30
years old. I went over to Torpidville,
and they just nacher'ly took and start
ed to lynch me the minute got to
town, for something or nuther, I never
did find out what. One foot was al
ready in the air and the other barely
touching the ground when some Teller
came running and hollered that they
were making mistake-1 wasn't the
guilty party a-tall. AS soon as they
turned me bose lit out for home as
the crow flies, and hain't done no
travelling to speak Of since. I always
figgered that on the next occasion tho
Teller that knowed it was mistake
might not get there in time to do me
any good."-Judge.

This information has been gathered

Herr Landsberg for their collabora-

Berlin May 31.-"The theme Of
President Wilson is very ticklish
one," was statement made by Count
Won Brockdorff-Rantzau, CHIEF of the
German peace delegation, at YER
sailles, according to the correspondent
of the Deutsch Zeitung, "for Mr.. Will
son is the father of our surrender of
arms The German people counted on
him and has voluntarily made itself
defenseless on his IA poineA. Our
counter proposals we're based on
them"
The correspondent represents the
count as critical, II not unfriendly
toward America. He quotes him AZ
saying that If "the present terms are
enforced the conclusion must be drawn
that all declarations during the war,
especially those of President Wilson,
were nothing less than military ruse
which deceived the German people and

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS

JUNEAU, May Q With Collins fighting for reconsideration of the vote whereby the House refused to agree to the report to allow the Fair banks Agricultural college $2O,0O0, and voting against the motion to au- joun sine die, the Alaska Territorial Legislature adjourned at fifteen min utes past twelve today after contin- uous session, with a few minutes re- cess, now and again, for sometime to eat, of thirty three hours.
 The only important measures con- sidered in the last days session and to be wholly lost were the eight hour day and the agriculture college appropri- ation. Solidly opposed to them were all republicans, except Collins, who with Nordale, made the fight of the session for it.
 The road appropriation was com promised by giving the First Division S75,OO0 and the three divisions $10o,- 900 each. The Publicity Bureau asked for S20,OOO and got $15,000. Other ap- propriations were about as asked for.

NAVY SHIPS ID 60 0N
 SHELF
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, May Q The bat tleship Indiana, Massachusetts, and 10. wa, which helped destroy the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba, are to be taken out of commission. The names are to be reassigned to superdreaa- noughts.
 The Oregon is also to be put out or commission, according to later an nouncement made today. The vessels will probably be junked or used for target ships.
 The Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon, twenty years ago, were re- garded as the most powerful ships afloat.
 A shortage of men is the cause for the navy placing the Oregon out of commission. The State of Oregon can have the battleship if so desiring, for historical purposes.
