THE YUKON IS TO HJIVE HOME RULE
"In striking contrast with the failure
of the American congress to pas* the
bill designed to establish lu Alaska a
territorial form of government," say*
the Post-Intelligencer, "is the attitude
which the Canadian government has as
sumid toward the Yukon by presenting
to parliament at Ottawa a bill which
provides for a wholly elective legisla
ture in the territory.
"The Dominion government has been
very much more liberal in its treatment
of the Yukon, very much more prompt
In responding to the reasonable de
mand* of the people of that rich terri
tory, than our government has lo the
matter of Alaska.
"The Yukon has steadily fought for
an electi-e legislative boa.r. By the
grant of 1898 the legislative body was
composed of live appointive members.
In 1901, in obedience to a persistent
popular demand the Dominion govern
ment provided for two additional
members, to be elected by the people.
In 1905 five elective memberg were
allowed, but the government still held
the balance of power because the gov
ernor of the Yukon was speaker of the
legislative council.
??Under the bill which the Ottawa
government now offers the ten memb
ers of the legislative council will be
elected by the people, and the ^citirens
of the Yukon will get the degree of
home rule they have beeu struggling
for from the beginning.
"The progress of the territory will
undoubtedly be more rapid under the
new order, and it may profit the Amer
ican ifovernmeut to lake note of Otta
wa's altered attitude toward the Yu
kon. for Alaska is demanding and must
have home rule also."

HER FACE WAS NOT FAIR.
But Ther? W?? On? to Whom 8he
Would Alwayt Bs Baautiful.
Ttao blind boy raised a rapt face to
the light
"And my mother?" he Bald question
Ingly. "Tell me bow she looks again.
I shall soon be able to see, and I know
I shall flud one more beautiful than all
the rest and cry: 'Mother, mother! Why
do you not speak V "
His sensitive face was turned re
proachfully toward his father. "You
have always told me how lovely she Is.
She Is little? not taller than my shoul
der? I kuyw that."
The old man laid his arm over the
lad's shoulders.
"You must know now what your
blindness would have kept you from
knowing," lie said. "Your mother Is
not fair and beautiful now In face, but
her soul Is what God made for a moth
er. When you can see. look for the
face which holds the greatest love.
You will uot be mistaken. It will be
your mother's."
The great surgeon looked for a mo
ment or two Into the sightless eyes and
then turned and laid his hand on the
father's trembling arm.
"Only God can make him see, my
friend." he raid kindly. "Your boy
was boru blind, and human skill can
not help him "
The blind boy was the first to speak,
and he laid tils arm around the sud
denly aged form of his father.
"Come." he said, "let us go back to
mother. Site will always be beautiful
to me now." and they turned and gave
place to the others.? Exchange.
Caustic Whiitler.
Whistler's caustic wit Is shown by
the following anecdote:
"Of one who was held to be 'Eng
land's most brilliant young artist. 'Yes,'
he said thoughtfully, 'he's clever, but
there's something common In every
thing he does, so what's the use of
It?' "
I. ike many ?reat men, he had but
little time for any but his own work.
"Ho told me a story demonstrating this
most clearly. His "Nocturne In Blue
and Gold. Valparaiso," was lu the Hill
collection In Brighton. Mr. Hill had
two galleries and a well known collec
tion. eventually sold at Christie's.
Whistler weut down to see Mr. mil.
and said he:
'? 'I was shown iuto the galleries and
of course took a chair and sat looking
at mv beautiful "Nocturne." Then, as
there was nothing else to do, I went
to sleep.'"? Sidney Starr's "Personal
Recollections of Whistler" la Atlantic.

delicate and pleasant taste and Is large

It can be eaten lu the raw state, being
