THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE
Another bill has been introduced
providing: tor the leasing o f the Alas
ka coal lands. It is highly probable
tbat other bills of like nature will al
so bo introduced. Just what chance
any of them have of being enacted
into law can only bo conjectural.
There is little hope of any legisla
tion being enacted at this session
that will furiush any relief to Alaska
so far as the coal land situation is
concerned. There is litlte hope of an}
leasing bill giving satisfaction u? Al
askans. The treat injustice done the
pioneers who went out and fouiul the
coal and dev eloped it, does not make
itself manifest 10 the purblind govern
iuent situu?, on the lid and holding
up the development or the country.
AU they care to do is to make p*>
litual capital out of Alaska's distress.
There is 110 pressing need for further
legislation on the coal nueation. H
tue u*s uiat now exist were enforciJ
tiiey would help some. i*a the gov
ernment give a speedy trial to an
claimants, the title of whose lands
are in Question, and allow title to ge

The entire west is astounded at the
policy which has abrogated the Con
stitution and the laws of the country
aud turned Alaska over to a depart

suffers, while Alaska lie# prostrate

They gave Delegate Wickersham a
week to make good, and he seems
to be doing it all right. The evid
ence he is submitting showing fraud
ia the government coal contracts
forms an interesting chapter in the
history of governmental mismanage
ment that will prove disconcert iug in
later days.
It really looks as if Mr. Kolk were
going to crowd Champ Clark out o?
the Missouri seat of aspiration to the
Presidency. But there is a certain
Jersey buzzing, not by any means of
"skeeter" type, which may relieve the
Missouri situation of all Interest. ?

Th? Brazil Nut Tro.
In the district watered by the river
Amazon nre many varieties of trees,
the most Important being the Unull
nnt tree, sometime* 100 to 180 feet In
height. with horizontal branches, the
ends of which hang like great ropes.
The smooth cylindrical trunk has a
circumference of twelve to seventeen ;
feet at a height of fifty feet from
the ground The evergreen elongated
leave*, made tongh by nature to with
stand the tropical heat of the region,
give the tree an attractive appearance,
enhanced iu the (lowering season by
large bunches of yellow blossoms
growing like ears of corn. After the
flowering the frnit Is formed In the
shape of fairly large serd vessels, com
monly called (tods, which vary In slxe
and contain from fifteen to twenty
nuts, closely adhering, in similar man
ner to the sections of an orange. The
pods Incasing the nuts are about half
an Inch thick and ??> hard that the
wheels of a heavy cart might pass
over them without causing breakage.
To remove the nuts the native Indians
use a peculiarly shaped knife.
Her Fan.
It is the custom In Paris for the cook
to do all the marketing. This adds
considerably to the cook's Income, for
every dealer allows her 5 centimes
(1 cent* on every franc (or 20 cents)
she spends. So French cooks Insist on
their marketing prerogative, and the
mistress who denies them It Is deemed
a very mean, small, niggardly sort of
person. Well, a person of this sort, an
elderly woman, was In the habit of do
tng her own marketing in a long
duster. The duster hid her purchases.
It prevented Iter, while usurping her
cook's rights, from l>elng detected In
the act. As the woman one hot morn
ing was wnlking homeward In her
duster from the Marche St. Honore
she stumbled In the Rue Tlyacintbe.
