TAFT IS IN WRONG.
The address of President Taft.
white & Mow to the advocates of ter
ritorial government In Alaska, will ndl
dishearten the brave men of the nor til
who have been fighting for an Amer
ican form of government That the
president of the United Statso should
?o broadly oppose such a move Is in
deed substantial opposition and the
territorlaJists can only hope by honest
representation to overcome this op
position. That the presij?nt has been
iU advised about conditions north
goes without question. Now Is the
time for every terrHoriatlst to buckle
to the fight and stay with it until the
victory is won. We have the argu
ment and the facts. The opposition
has the ear of the president lor tlie
t me being. When the great light
comes they will be exposed as ob
structionists seeking lo sack Alaska
under the guise of being ,':j benefac
tore. Do not be discouraged but re
main steadfast demanding that right
prevail. ? Juneau Disp*?t-h.
? ^ THE CAUSE IS NOT LOST
The same condition of affaire at
Washington confront the territorial
government advocates as when Rooet
velt first took office. Twice he was
pronounced in his message to con
gress against giving Alaska territorial
government After on Investigation
he recommended to congress an inex
pensive form of home rule, which is
all that Alaskans are now demanding
under the Wlckereham bill. This bill
will be recommended for p&s>*age by
the committee on territories this
winter and if K passes congress Pres
ident Taft will sign it regardless of
corporate opposition. The fight is
rot lost and will be vigorously pres
sed this winter. You can not down
a good cause. ? Juneau Dispatch.
, The POLE.
I'm glad I didn't find the Pole, up
there where Arctic billows roll. When
first I heard the Pole was lost, for
ine brief day my wires were crossed;
I said: "Methinks I'd better go across
the weary wastes of snow, along the
white bear's lonely track, and find
the pole and bring it back. Thus
shall 1 scale the heights of fame aad
grow sldewhiskers on my name. I'll
be a bigger man than Taft; I'll work'
the 90ft Chautauqua graft, and eaVn
a package of long green by writing
for a magazine; I'll have some medal
In my trunk, and silver cups, atvi
other Junk; and kings and queens1
will cry with prkle, that I'm all wool
and three yards wide. So let me hire
some Eskimos, and hit the nice cool
Arctic snows." But here my granny
Intervened, and said: "Those stove
pipes must be cleaned; you havn't
mowed the lawn this week, and it's
a sight to make one shriek; there's
something clogging up the flue ? you
ought to wash the buggy, too, and
there are forty thousand chores, and
here you stand around outdoors, and
xnumbte like a heathen Turk." ? and
then, my friends, I got to work. ? Waltt

TIGERS IN INDIA.
8trange Hindoo Beliefs Concerning the
Man Eater*.
In India tbe traditions of folklore are
numerous and strange. Among those
pertaining to the tiger tbe following
are the most pet-ullar: The uneducated
Hindoo (and he Is In the great major
ity) believes that the ghost of a man
killed by a tiger rides on the head of
the beast that slew him to warn him
of danger and to guide him to uew vic
tims. It Is declared that Ood provides
for the tiger's dally wants to the
amount of 1 rupee a day? that Is to
say. If the tiger kills a calf worth 6
rupees ho will not be allowed another
victim for Ave days.
Eatlu? the flesh of a tiger Is sup
posed to glvo one great courage and
alertness, but the whiskers must first
be singed off the beast or his spirit
will haunt the man who fed off him,
and he Is likely to be turned into a
tiger in the next world.
The following incident really occur
red in a small Indian village In tho In
terior: One of tbe villagers was unfor
tunately killed by a tiger. Tlie police
Investigated the accidental death and
rendered this verdict: "Pandu died of
a tiger eating him. Thero was no
other cause of death. Nothing was left
of him save his bones and some fin
gers, which probably belonged to ei
ther the right or left hand."? Washing

The World Went Round.
When Blogglns senior ou the occa
sion of his annual imrty was obliging
his guests with " "Tls I.ove That Makes
the World Go Round," Master Wil
liam Blofrglns seized the opportunity
to retire for a few minutes behind the
Japanese screeu-wlth his sire's half
smoked cigar.
The applause subsiding. Master Blog
glns was observed by one of the com
pany to be looking far from well. His
face had taken ou the hue of putty,
and his eyes stood out like small hat
pegs.
"Good gracious, Willie! What's the
matter?" cried Mrs. Blogglns in alarm.
"I believe you've been smoking."
Willie shook his bend.
?"Tain't that," he declared untruth
fully. "If it's true what father's been
singing about, I? I re-reckon I'm in
love!"? London Express.
