The Old Snuff Box.

COME members Of the Senate still
~ use snuff. Their identity, known to
a few members of the Senate corps. is
a dark secret and may never be
known outside of official circles.
For the benefit of these few. q snuff
box still is retained near one of the
Senate doors. 1t is filled every week
or so. Senators who use snuff sneak
quietly up to 1t. take a pinch and
slide out into a secluded spot to do
their shifting.
The Supreme Court is ahead Of the
Senate IN respect to snuff using. There
has been no snuff box in the court
since 1870. though In the old DAYS a
large box Of the stuff sat on the
clark's desk, and 1t was the usual
thing for judges and others in pass
ing the box to scoop up a handful
or two.

in marriage leads straight to the divorce

getting divorce.
"'What is the complaint. a'am?'
said the lawyer Does your husband
beat you? Has he been unfaithful?'
No. said the selfish woman calmly;
but he snores.'
"'Snores? Is that all, ma'am"
"Isnt it enough?'
But, ma am the lawyer stammered.

Yes. 1 did, she snapped. but 1

PeriIS of the Desert.

A SENATOR was entertaining some
friends with stories about the
Arizona desert, when a bore Joined
the party.
This bore was the king Of a chap
that always laughs in the wrong place
and spoils story by trying to guess
its climax. The senator undertook to
silence him.
Poor Ferguson!" he said. THAT
last August"
"Sunstroke. of course" said the bore.
mo. not exactly" said the senator.
you see, Ferguson stumbled acSi-
dentally on the Cauldron-our famous
spring. you know, that gushes out Of
the rock at freezing point. and immet-
diately begings to boil from the fierce
heat of the sun"
"Of course, of course" said the bore.
"And what happened to Ferguson
Did he fell in the Cauldron and boil
to death? Get on with your story,
man."
Ferguson fell in." said the senator.
but he managed to scramble out
again. The peril, however, was not
yet over for him. Our Arizona air, you
see. is so dry that 1T absorbs moisture
with astonishing rapidity. Well. the
boiling water in Ferguson's clothes
evaporated so fast that the poor fell
low instantly froze stiff"
II see" said the bore. HE died of
cold. Well, that reminds me-
mo. he didn't die." said the senator.
'He almost died, but he had a miracu-
lous escape. In his stiff-frozen state.
you understand, he began to shiver
with chill, and he shivered SO hard
that in a few moments he became
overheated and would have succumbed
to sunstroke if he hadn't providential-
ly broken into cold sweat"

One great piece of constructive work
being done In Alaska Is the building,
of the government railroad from
Seward to. Fairbanks. When COM
pleted a great country will be- OPEN
ed up to development. yet even con-
struction work on the railroad has
been greatly hampered by the inabil-
ity Of the engineering commission to
foresee the action Of Congress in pro-
viding funds. so that often the best
working season of the year has re-
manned partially idle pending the pas
sage Of an appropriation.

Our coasts, have not received merited
attention in the, way Of surveys and
aids to navigation. There are number
less reefs and shoals which for lack Of
funds are unliGited or unmarked. Hard
ly year goes by without some marine
disaster In 1918 the Princess Sophia,
with $50 passengers and crew, in q
snowstorm struck on an unlighted rock
in Lynn canal In the storm the steam
er was washed on the reef and all on
board perished. Vessels have struck on
pinnacle rocks undiscovered in the course
Of ordinary surveys, and have been
wrecked with attendant loss, Of life. all
Of which could have been avoided by
moderate expenditure of money in aids
and intensive surveys. Such accidents
are reflected in high freight rates; part
ly brought about by high insurance and
by the loss of earning power Of a car
rier placed out Of commission.
A most constructive piece of legisla-
tion would be the restocking of north
ern Alaska with musk oxen AS late
as 1850 musk oxen ranged throughout
all of northern Alaska but were killed
off by the natives. Musk oxen will fur

Nan has unconsciously changed her
attitude toward men now and Is get
ting to be perfectly charming. In
most Of my engagements l need to
make only a little suggestion. and
out come two men the next time. and
we all have twice as much fun. I
feel the way 1 know Lady Bountifuls
do, and Nan Is entranced with the new
order of things.
But, dad, there is one person who
always has his own private engage
ments, and to whom 1 do not dare
mention another. That is Lieut.. Bel
son. He sometimes comes out twice
a week, but he is not entirely human
yet, and he refuses pointblank to talk
in any form, shape or fashion about
himself. Sometimes he sits and stares
at me as If I were problem In CAL
culus. But, really and truly, he is
slipping back into the fascinating
polished man of the world that he
used to be. And now I am beginning
to wonder what he sees in me.
He likes me in my new furs.
Now please. please do not send me
any money. 1t somehow does seem so
ungrateful to return it after you have
once sent 1t. but I do not want 1t. I
would much rather live patriotically

is now an established industry OF the

reindeer meat. particularly on the Pa

Transportation, above almost every
thing else. is what Is needed to- open
up our mines OF gold. copper. gypsum.

mum. tin. palladium. platinum and other
metals. In consideration Of the size, OF
the territory we are practically without
roads, which are badly needed. when
once the water highways are left.

Our population is scant Our pow
ers of raising revenue are too limited
to allow of territorial work of con-
struction; what is needed is a con-
gress educated to the needs and pos
sibilities of Alaska. AS in any other
investment, a primary outlay must ne
made, but as has been shown by the
results. attending the small expen-
ditures already made. the investments
have been returned to the Treasury
many times over.
Alaska furnishes more trade to the
United States than the Philippines,
Hawaii or Porto Rico, and. yet we
have much less consideration at the
hands of the government than any OF
these possessions. We furnished
more men to the Army and Navy dur
ing the war. in proportion to our pop
ulation, than any other state or ter
ritory. We oversubscribed our quota
for liberty bonds to a. greater extent
than any other state or territory and
we led all the states and territories
in per capita subscription to the Red
Cross: "a per cent of our population
were members of the society. Can you
beat it? And yet our natives, the
wards of the government, may die
without a qualm on the art of the
government; our mineral zones lie
undeveloped for lack" Of roads; our
shipping endangered for lack of aids
to navigationand light: our oil re-
sources still remain locked up in gov
ernment withdrawals: our forest use
less to great enterprises; our water
powers going to waste.
We prosper in spots, but not through
governmental assistance. The fisheries
are prosperousbecaune they lie on
water lanes Of transportation. Mines
on tidewater operate to advantage,
but the greater part Of Alaska still
lies waiting. Oh, the short sighted
ness Of it all! Given s15,0OO,000 a
year for ten years. no, ten million for
construction work. and Alaska will
produce unthought of and unheard Of
wealth; or give back to Alaska the
revenue derived from the territory
for a like period and the same results.
