The snow was great-the toys were

Anchorage and Ketchikan buildings may be included in the now silent $10,OOOQO0. Strong efforts are being made to this end.

THE HAIR OF THE DOG.
(Stroller's Weekly.)

On the theory, probably, that the hair of the dog is good for the bite, many Aiaskans believe that the Ter ritory should takegcare of it's own in sane. in some institution located is one of the southern districts. Not that ma nhas to be insane ti live in the northern divisions, but because the former are much easier reached by transpodtation. lines
 It has long been a mooted- question as to whether Alaska's climate would be remedial in. cases of insanity. Some authorities hold that it would, believing that. i. fas man is insane he will pay little heed to his surround ings. Others state that the reason so many of us are insane is because we have lived too long in Alaska; or, in other words, missed too many boats- After IT years spent fighting the vii cissitudes of Alaskan climate and business worries we are prone to agree with the latter theory.
 The man who spends the better part of frugal life here is entitled to end his days in sunshine, with the song. of the mockingbird and the sough of vagrant, magnoliai-laden breezes through the pines.
 Undoubtedly the question of taking care of Alaska's insane will be brought up at the next legislature. It should be drowned down, as there are too many of us in the twilight zone to take chance of spending the rest of our days picking daisies from the snowbanks. So long as the mere indications of insanity will give us a trip Outside, with our fare paid, we believe in allowing the matter of a sanitarium in the Northland rest

X letter received at the office of Delegate Wickersham states that a couple of Alaska postmasters are working for the Democratic ticket in the Territory. and particularly for the candidate. for Delegate to Con- gress. He further inquiries this. ac- tion is. permissible. Guess it is,, even though it may not, be in. good taste for Republican appointee to elec- tioneer for Democratic candidates. But they are likely dedluded with the promise that if MT. Roosevelt is elect ed President they will be retained in office, overlooking the fact that from one to half dozen Democrats have been promised appointment to every public sffiffice in the Territory. And usually most of the postmasters ln Alaska are. quietly. working for the Republican. ticket. They may hold the same viewpoint as does, the pres Ment of the Kentucky Association of Postmasters, who at a recent. annual meeting held at Louisville said: "Postmasters' duties are threefold- first to the. patron; second, to the em- ployes, and, third, 0 the administra- tion. The last is equally important as tn eother two." Of course, good smany of the Alaska postmasters won't agree with this viewpoint, as they take. their appointment as a matter of coursce and don't bother , about any reciprocity

Julian Street. writing in the Satur- day Evening Post, tells this one about Booth Tarkington
 Coming home togther from a party at dawn of a mild morning.. Parking ton and Jacob Wendell, celebrated comedian, observed that. the park benches in Madison Square were occu- pied by many sleeping tramps, and this fact, in conjunction. with the sight of an all-night fruit stand on a, nearby corner. suggested an idea Buying all the fruit they could carry, they entered the square. and made a tour of the benches. One of them, as if he were valet rousing his master, would lightly touch a sleeping hobo, and when the man awoke would cheeriiy announce: Good morning, sir. A fine, bright day. And here is Meadows with your breakfast, sir" The other playboy would then step up with the fruit, and before the benefi- ciar yof- the jest knew whether he was awake or dreaming, the two Sa- maritans were off to the next bench.
