BE VE RIDGE ON ALASKA.
Tl?e South Bend (Ind.,) Tribune
?ays: Senator Beveridge is at home
for the holiday vacation of congress
and he Is a busy man too. He is
putting in most of his time at his
home, working on a bill for the gov
ernment of Alaska. He is chairman
of the Senate committee on territories
and It will be up to him to offer the
bill to the Senate. Before he left
Washington he had a long conference
with President Taft on this subject
and he found that his ideas and the
ideas of the President were identical.
Therefore, when the bill goes in it
will reflect the views of the Presi
dent. Senator Beveridge is fully im
pressed with the necessity of giving at*
tention to governmental affairs in Al
aska He realizes that Alaska com
prises a vast territory and that it is
rich in resources. He is also con
vinced that it would not be practicable
to create a legislature and other
forms of territorial government in
Alaska.
VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
The experience of the world has
proved that business advertising is
a form of business enterprise which
is so fruitful, so important and so
wide a field for the display of good
judgment and ability that to refuse
or tfcil to advertise is to challenge
the results and meaning of commer
cial and industrial progress. The
merchant who does not advertise vir
tually says that his judgment is bet
ter than that of 95 per cent, of the
strong and successful men in his
field of activity. He attacks the com
mon sense of the business world. ?
Cleveland Leader
A gentleman and a lady were sit
Up* in & hotel dining room at Prince
Kupert, where blasting operations are
carried on almost without Interrup
tion. A rock flew in through a windo
and hit the lady on the head and the
lady promptly rolled under the table.
A couple of smaller rocks landed on
the gentleman's plate. He looked up
in a surprised sort of way and re
marked: "1 asked for bread, but they
have given me atones." ? Ex.
MY MAN.

Of the work ha ha* chosen to do.
He's ln*y or else he'* deficient lo

And may be a hypocrite too.
He'* likely to cheat, and he'* likely to

But five me the man with the sun In hi*

And the shadow* all dancing behind.
Who can meet his reverse* with calmness
and grace
And never forget* to be kind.

THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES.
fTlQERE'S a little house In a little street
-t A little way from the aea.
And. oh, when I'm weary of all the world
If* there that I fain would be!
TCOR the world 1* full of sorrow and
^ care.
And the darkness lie* before.
And the little house 1* full of the dreams
That were ours, but are ours no more.
IN the little street In the long ago.
In the little house by the aea.
We dreamed of the day* that bad no
dawn.
Of the year* that shall never be.
BUT you were young, and I was young.
And we dreamed and had no care.
And dearer and better than life has been
Were the dream* that came to u* there.
AND *o when I'm weary of all the
world. ~
Of It* sordid hope* and Its pain,
1 think of the little house that wa* our*
And algh to be there again.
?rp^V?RK heaven enough If we found
X oup- dreams
And dreamed them again, maybe.

A little way from the *ea.

WILLIAM BRITT, Druggist
MOW CYRUS LAID THE CABLE.
[Celebrating the completion of tho At
lantic cable, fifty yours ago. J
COME, listen nil unto my song.
It Is no silly fable.
'TIs ull about the inlKhty cord
They call the Atlantic cable.
Bold Cyrus Field he said, suys ho,
"I havo a pretty uotion
That I can run a telegraph
Across the Atlantic ocean."
Then all the people laughed and said
They'd llko to ?>??? him do It.
Ho might set half seas over, but
He never could g o through It.
To carry out his foolish plan
He never would be able.
He might as well ko hang himself
With his Atlantic cable.
But Cyrus was a valiant man.
A fellow of decision.
And heeded not their mocking words.
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his bravest efforts fall.
And yet his mind was stable.
Ho wasn't tho man to break his heart
Because ho broko his cablc.
"Once more, my gallant boys!" he cried.
"Three times!"? you know tho fable.
"I'll make It thirty." muttered he,
"But I will lay tho cable."
Once more they tried? hurrah, hurrah!
What means this grv.it commotion?
The Lord be praised! Tho cablo's laid
Across tho Attunttc ocean!
Long ring the bells, for, flashing through
Six hundred league* of water.
Old Mother England's benlson
Salutes her eldest daughter!
O'er all the land the tidings speed.
And soon In every nation
They'll hear about tho cablo with
Profoundest admiration.
Now, long live president and queen.
And long live gallant Cyrus.
And may his courage, faith and zeal
With emulation llro us!
And may we honor evermore
The manly, bold and stable
And tell our sons, to make them brave.
How Cyrus laid the cable!

The Mascot.
Shakespe?r?'t House.
The bouse In which the muster bard
was born Is located lu Henley street,
Stratford-on-Avon, England. Wash
lngton Irving said of this famous
abode of genius: "It Is u small, mean
' looking edifice of wood and plaster, a
true nestling place of genius, wblcli
seems to delight In hatching Its off
spring In by-comers. The wulls of Its
squalid chambers are covered with
names and Inscriptions in every lan
guage by pilgrims of all nations, ranks
and conditions, from the prince to the
peasant, und present a simple but
striking Instance of the spontaneous
and universal homage of mankind to ]
the great i>oet of nature."
Several years ago the house was
purchased by subscription with a
view to the careful preservation of it
and of Its contents for the inspection I
of future generations.
Tuning a Bell.
No matter how great may be the j
care taken In making the mold, a bell I
has to be tuned before it will ring a
clear, true uote. As a matter of fact,
every bell sounds Ave notes, all of
which must blend together harmo- !
uiously. If one Is the least bit out the
tone will be spoiled. The first of
these notes is produced by the vibra
tions at the mouth of the bell, the sec
ond by the vibrations a little higher'
up, the third still higher up, and so
on to the fifth, which Is produced
quite near the top. As the character
of the sound which rings depends
upon the thickness of the metal, it is
possible, by taking thin shavings from
various places lu the Inside of the
bell, to alter the five notes until they
are all in harmony.
