Got. Hoggatt's celebrum ia cnce
more the seat of verticou* agitation.
The governor's exaggarated ego In
rotatloc can not strictly be classed as a
brain atorm because that implies a
uegree of mental virility wbioh.he is not
credited with possessing. His wheels
^aerate nothing more violent than
friction.
It is an error ol judgment to take
Got. Hoggatt sorioasly. Several Alas
ka papers have worked themselves into
a violent passion because of the gover
nors obtuse misrepresentation of
Alaska sentiment on the subject of
territorial government, which is useless.
They Save also severely criticised the
governor because he entertains the
view chat territorial organization
would be a bad thing for Alaska
and especially for the interests which
he represents, which is wrong, because
the governor is as much entitled to
liberty of o.inion as anybody else.
It is really not a matter .of conse
quence what Gov. Hoggatt imagines
he thinks on aoy subject. There is no
possibility that territorial government
could get through the next congress If
the governor should cease to oppose
it, because of the average member of
congress knows no more aboot Alaska
than he does. The governor will be
disposed of by the Republican territor
ial convention a year hence so far ?s
he has any pretensions of representing
anybody but the corporation* which
procured bis appointment. In that
convention not a single delegate
will sit for any place but Juneau who
will oppose territorial government, and
that same c,jnt enion, if it is wise, will
pass Hoggatt by in silence.

(Original.]
It U not unusual fur either a man or
a woman to come between an engaged
couple, but it la unusual (or the course
of true love to be turned awry by a
horse. The story begins back In the
days when the Indians In the west
were constantly breaking away from
their reservations and slaughtering all
palefaces who came In their way. It
was theu that Florence Brooks was
visiting an older sister at Fort K., the
wife of an officer In the 1'nlted States
army. And then It was that, the gar
rison having marched away, leaving
the women and children to the protec
tion of half a company under the com
mand of a lieutenant, another tribe
consisting of several hundred warriors
came down to take possession of the
fort
When a friendly redskin rode Into
the Inclosure and announced the com
ing of his fellows, every matt- being
needed for defense, Florence Brooks
volunteered to ride to the nearest post,
fifty miles distant, for succor. Lieu
tenant Howard Whiting, In command,
placed her on his own Kentucky bred
horse. Comanche, and sent her flying
out of the fort, shouting after her,
"Their lives depend upon you!"' How
the horse enabled her to cross the
path of the coming Indians an hour
before they reached the point of Inter
section. how ten miles farther on she
met a squadron of cavalry, .how when
the Indians reached tho fort they
found a forcc ample to protect It, need
only be referred to here. From that
day Comanche was beloved by the
whole garrison, and especially by Miss
Brooks. As for Miss Brooks, she was
beloved by the whole garrison, especial
ly Lieutenant Whiting.

your hand long after 1 had done so.
"I love Comanche.' she replied.
Miss Brooks left the city for a month,
and when she returned ber lover In
formed her that he had sold Comanche.
The reason he gave for doing so was
that he had been ordered to rejoin Uls
regiment lu the west. and. Comanche
having become old. besides gone lame,
the lieutenant would not feel warrant

when the news was Imparted to her
and argued long and well against the

not sufficient to keep so expensive a |

could hardly have done otherwise. I
They parted with an embrace warm
enough on the part of the man. but not

However. -It gradually came over

could not have been Included In the
calculations. Indeed, It was very d

ELLSWORTH EMERSON, i
CAUCASIAN AND NEGRO.
Tber Are Fundamentally OppoaHt
Extremes In Evolution.
Tlie Caucasian has the subjective fao
ultles well developed; the negro the ot>
Jeetlve. The Caucasian, and more par
ticularly the Anglo-Saxon, la dominant
and domineering and possessed prima
rily with determination, will power,
self control, self government and all
the attributes of the subjective self,
with a high development of the ethical
and aesthetic faculties and .great rea
soning powers. The negro is in direct
contrast by reason of a certain lack of
these powers, nnd a great development
if the objective qualities. The negro
.3 primarily affectionate. Immensely
;motionnl, then sensual, and, under
provocation, passionate. There Is love
of outward show, of ostentation, of ap
probation. lie loves melody and a rude
kind of poetry and sonorous language.
There is undeveloped artistic power
and taste ? co^roes make good artisans
and handicraftsmen. They are defi
cient In Judgment, In the formation of
new ideas ?? existing facts, In de
vising hypotin^es and In making de
ductions in general. They are imitative
rather than original, inventive or con
structive. There Is Instability of char
acter Incident to lack of self control,
especially in connection with the sex
ual relation, and there Is a lack of
orientation or recognition of position
and condition of self and environment,
evidenced In various ways, but by a
peculiar "bumptiousness," so called by
Professor Blacksbcar of Texas, this Is
particularly noticeable.
The white and the black races are
antipodal, then. In cardinal points. The
one has a large frontal region of the
brain, the other a larger region behind;
the one Is subjective, the other objec
tive; the one a great reasoner, the other
pre-eminently emotional; the one domi
neering. but having great self control,
the other meek and submissive, but
violent and lacking self control when
the passions are aroused; the one a
very advanced race, the other a very
backward one. The Caucasian and the
negro are fundamentally opposite ex
tremes In evolution? Robert Bennett
Beau in Century.
PLANT PECULIARITIES.
No plant will produce flowers unless
there Is Iron lu the sail In which It
grows.
All plauts are provided with flowers,
though sometimes these arc so smnV
aud so hidden as to escape notice.
The bleeding heart, according to au
eastern legend, originated in the drops
of blood which fell from Christ's side at
the crucifixion.
Every flower that has a perfume al
all secretes a volatile oil. the evapora
tion of which constitutes the peculiar
odor characteristic of the blossom.
The smallest flower known to the
botanist is said to be that of the yeast
plant. It Is microscopic In size and la
said to be only one-hundredth of a mil
limeter In diameter.
According to the poetical Idea of Ca
tullus. the rose was once white, bnt
blushed red and remained so out of
shame for allowing its thorns to Inflict
a wound on the feet of Venus.
A Turklnh Story.
The Turk, as a rule, is not energetic,
but he is capable of sudden bursts of
activity. A writer In Cassell's Family
Magazine gives an Illustration:
He was going home late one night In
Constantinople when a man ran by
him. pursued by four zaptlel^s. Direct
ly they caught the man they belabored
him vigorously with the butt ends of
their guns. The Englishman Inter
fered.
"If he is a thief, why not take him
to prison and let him be tried pro;>erly7
Don't half kill the man without a
trial."
"O effeudi," said the spokesman ol
the party, "we don't mind his being a
thief. We're only hitting him because
of the trouble lie gave us to run after
him." And that is an offense which
the average Turk never forgives.
The Catlike Fox.
The fox is an excellent mouser. He
will lie and watch for a field mouse in
the long grass like a cat, pounce upon
it, kill it with a bite and lay It on one
side uutil he has caught another and
another, when, picking them ail up, as
many as he can carry in bis mouth, he
will canter away with them to serve
them out to the cubs. This fact wa*
confirmed by witnesses In Scotland
who were examined by a committee of
the board of agriculture wheu taking
evidence on the occasion of the plague
of field voles on the lowland sheep
farms lu 1803.? J.ondon Graphic.
l?ny Premium* Promptly.
Those who carry life insurance poli
cies should be careful to see that the
premiums are promptly paid. Neglect
In this Important matter has caused
policies to be forfeited. It Is best to
pay premiums a few days before they
are due. On the flnal day the policy
holder may forget It or be called away,
as many things can happen to eauB?
neglect of payment.? Nashville Amer
ican.
Embarramilnx Attention*.
"A dog." said meandering Mike, "la
one o' few animals dat'U folier a
man."
nodding Pete seemed to consider
this statement for a moment, says the
Washington Star, and then answered:
"That's so. One was follerlng ml
yesterday so fast I could hardly ke?|
ahead of him."
Blamtnjc the Weather.
"This is awfully sticky weather."
"Do you find it so?"
"Tea, Bilkins stuck me for another
five this morning."? Cleveland Plais
Dealer.
TO My Patrons:
I will be at my old place of busi
ness until further notice and pre
pared to give receipts to all those
