NO. THREE
Gov, Hosgdtt Gave Third
Iuterview
The Daily Al?skan bu published *1
or parts of two interviews giyen by
Uik. Hoggatt at Seattle. Here is a
third one. It is taken from the Fost
Intelligcnc^r:
"Gov. Hoggait, of Alask*, who has
been in Seattle for the past tnree days,
leaves for Juneau this evening oo the
Jefferson. He has been busy ever since
he arrived Surday fhak'ng hands with
the crowu of Northerners now In the j
city. His recent utterances, In which;
be expressed the belief that the terrl-;
torial government movement for Alaska
was a dead issue, have caused eome dis. !
cussion among tbo Alaska men and j
citizens of Seattle who are interested:
in the North. When asked what hej
considered the ideal form of govern- |
mem for A'aska, Gov. Hoggatt said:
" 'I believe Alaska is at the present j
time operated under the most nearly |
idea) plan available. We receive much j
financial help from the national govern
ment, and when there is a crime com
mitted, the government Koes much i
farther 10 apprehend the offender that:
we, a< a full fledged territory, could
ever do. However, I am glad to say j
that Alaska is fast becoming a very
orderly place. We have very little!
critT.e now, and the gamblin? element i
is becoming distinctly in disfavor. In !
Nome many of the gambling houses
have been closed down, ?n>1 this policy
is to be followed in other sett'ements.
" 'One of the chief objects in the |
mind of some who are crying for terri- j
torlal government lj to s?cure in this
way a reduction of tbe liquor license.
At present ihis license r?nges from
$o00 to Ji.OO, acd it is going to remain
at that as long as I can keej it there.'"

MAKE GOOD
Do Not Feuin Spring With
Dirty Wat cli
Do not begin the'active season with a
wa:ch that will not keep good time.
The season of summer is tco short in!
this country to permit of one's being i
hampered by an uncertain timepiece.
If your watch is dirty it will not keep
time corrtctly until it has been cleaned.
Spring should be the cleaning season
for watches and clocks as well as~for
everything else. ?

I Toad
Superstition* as to toads havlug been
. early inculcated, It lias been exceed
| lngly difficult to got rid of them. One
1 remnant of this ancient credulity still
exists. It Is in regard to tbe absolute
Imperishable character of the toad.
There are well educated Amerlcaus
who boW^e that a toad hops out alive
from a slab of stone though he has
been Imprisoned there for several mil
lions of years. We give In brief Dr.
Buckland's experiments with loads in
1&J3. He took twelve toads aud had
: the toads put In twelve cells cut In
! tandstoue, and over these he put plates
j of glass. They were buried In a gar
| deu for over a year. When exhumed
they were all dead. Then some were
1 put In porous sandstone, and at the
end of a year a few. were found "great
ly emaciated." When burled for an
other year, tliey all died. Toads were
Inciosed In wood, and they all died.
The conclusion Is that, deprived of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If a .toad as a tadpole could have
entered a crevice In a rock. It might
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and foot!. This
toad nonsense is so ineradicable that It
Is supposable It never can be dissi
pated.
Pe'lisson's Little Adventure.
Peilisson. the famous l'reuch lilsto
rian, was frightfully usly. one day ns
ho was walking down the street a
beautiful lady took bim by the band
and conducted him Into a bouse closo
by. Daz/.led by the lady's charms and
flattering himself that this adventure
could not possibly entail any unpleas
ant consequences, he bad not the
strength to offer any resistance. His
fair captor Introduced bim t > the mas
ter of the house, saying:
"Line for line, exactly like this,"
whereupon she took her departure.
Peilisson. on recovering from his as
tonishment, <;eu... tided an explanation.
Tlie master of the house, after sundry '
apologies, confessed that lie was u
painter.
"I have undertaken." li< added, "to
supply the lady with a p lure of the
Temptation In the Wild, .ness.' We
have been debating for couple of
hours as to the mode of 'presenting
the tempter ind she end> by saying
that she wished me to tal ? you for a
model."- Kerne Anecdotic, >.
The Judge Sinned Voo.
Wirt Gerrarc, In his volume od
"Greater Russia." says that in t.Nj
czar's country one may not call an
other a fool. There Is a Scriptural in
junction against that, and it is conse
quently a legal offense too. Not long
ago a "vint" player called his partner
a fool for needlessly trumping their
trick. The offended man brought his
accuser l>efore the court The culprit
pleaded provocation and. knowing that
the judge was a passionate follower of
rbe national game, explained the mat
ter in detail The Judge became inter
i>ste ! and got e\i -ted as the particulars
of tlie plav were given. "I took the
trick with uiy queen, and. instead of
throwing away, my partner played the
king!" shouted the accuser. "The fool!*'
said the Judge. Theu he hastily dis
missed the case.

WOMAN'S ORIGIN.
' Tfce Story ?? It I> Told In an OU
Sunikrlt Loccnd.
Tnuiltlon says there wna a scarcity
of solid elements at the time of her
creation.
At the beginning of time Twashtrl
the Vulcan of the Hindoo mythology
created the world, but when he wished
to create a woman he found that hi
had employed all his material In tli<>
creation of man. There did not r?
main one solid cloment Tbeu Twash
trl, perplexed* fell Into n profound med
itation. He roused himself as follows:
He took the roundness of the moon,
the undulations of the serpent, the In
twlnlng of climbing plants, the trem
bling of the grass, the slendsrness of
the rose vine and the velvet of the
flower, the lightness of the leaf aud
the glance of the fawn, the gayety of
the sun's rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconstancy of the wind and the
timidity of the hare, the vanity of the
peacock and the softness of the down
ou the throat, of the swallow, the hard
uess of the diamond, the sweet flavor
of honey and the cruelty of the tiger,
f the warmth of fire, the chill of snow,
the chatter of the jay and the cooing of
the turtledove. He united all these
Utid formed a woman. Then he made
a p.eseut of her to man. , ?
Eight days later the niau came to
I Twashtrl and said:
"My lord, the creature you gave me
poisons my existence. She chatters
without rest, she takes all my time,
she laments for nothing at all aud Is
always 111."
And Twashtri received the woman
again.
But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said:
"My lord, my life Is very solitary
since I returned this creature. 1 re
member she glanced at me from the
corner of her e.ve, and she played with
me, dung to me."
Aud Twashtrl returned the wouiau
to him.
Three days only passed, and T washtri
saw the man coming to him again.
"My lord," said he, "1 do not under
stand exactly how, but 1 am sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure. 1 beg of you to rellevt
me of her."
But Twashtrl cried, "(Jo your way
and do your best!"
ADd the man cried, "I cannot live
with her!"
"Neither can you live without her.'"
replied Twashtri.
And the man was sorrowful, oiui
muring: "Woe is me! I can neither
live with her nor without her.'1? Chlca

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.'
It is always better to throw a bou
quet than a pickle.
The friends who flatter us are the
ones we ga.v "understand" us.
Nobody knows much, but everybody
should know enough not to go to law.
If you have a good opinion of your
self and wish others to have It. keei;
It to yourself.
No use talking, It Is very hard to
feel Just right toward a friend aftei
you have heard him praise your ene
my.
We suppose It Is "broadening" to
travel for the reason that the traveler
discovers what a lot of people there
are on earth who never heard of him.
This Is, what the ambitions of life
finally amount to? that a man may
have a warm corner and enough to eat
when he Is old and that his final 111
ness may be a brief one.? Atchison
Globe.
Itching l'?lm Otl.
"Palm oil," a synonym for "graft," Is
not at all a novelty in this sense. In
!G27 Middleton wrote that "palm oi!
will make a pursuivant relent." The
sliteouth and seventeenth centuries
reveled lu varieties of the metaphor.
Greene speaks of rubbing paltns with
"the olle of angels." a humorous allu
sion to the coin named after the an
gelic figure stamped upon It, and "oil
of angels" seems to have been quite a
common joke in England. Another
writer has a reference to "anointing"
an ecclesiastic in the fist "with Indian
oyle." Both "anointing" and "greas
ing" were frequently used to mean
bribing, even without special mention
of the haud as the port greased. Dry
den has "the greaz'd advocate."
Auclcut Thermopylae.
? In spite of the fact, which is weli
known, that the sea has receded since
ancient times, the strategical position
of the ancient pass of Thermopylae is
etill immensely .strong. The alterna
tive route l>y Deleghi, which crosses
the hills a mile and a half north of the
springs by well engineered zigzags, is
equally capable of defense and leads
into a country of a most difficult char
acter. Either pass might be held in
definitely by 5,000 men. The coast
road is absolutely commanded from the
heights so that a comparatively small
force would render It impassable,
while the flat lowland lying near the
sea Is marshy and intersected by dikes.
Receive* n "Collect.**
Oliver Herford. who Is equally fa
mous as a poet, Illustrator and brli
liant wit. was entertaining four maga
zine editors at luncheon when the bell
rang and a maid entered with the mail.
"Ah," said an editor, "an epistle."
"No," said Mr. Herford. tearing open
the envelope, "not an epistle; a col
lect."? Philadelphia Bulletin.
