P. I. Asks Jast Treatment
For Alaska
(Seattle Post Intelligencer)
In the presence of the actual and rec
nized needs of Alaska, Gov. Hoggatt
traveled somewhat out of his way, in
bis annual report to President Koose
velt, when he recommended the
appointment of a commission for the
purpose of ascertaining precisely the
nature and extent of Alaska's needs
In ordinar* circumstances it seem to be
the businrss of the gevernor to know
the needs of the territory over which
he presides, and if he doesn't know he
ought io be aoie to find out these
things without putting the govern
ment to extra expense. It is not only
his business to know, but it is also his
duty to know the legislative needs of
the territory over which he is given
authority.
Alaska's needs are elemental. Mr.
Waskey, one of the delegates from
Alaska has pressed the real, actual and
urgent needs of Alaska upon the atten
tion of '.he national government. Alas
ka nut only ueeds, but Alaska also
deserves a territorial for ra of govern
ment, a form of government, in fact
anc* t in spirit, in harmony with
American institutions and the tradition
al policy and hitherto unbroSen
practice of the republic. No com
mission is needed to give emphasis to
the fact.
Nothing less than a territorial form
of government will meet the actual
needs of Alaska, and certainly nothing
lees will satisfy th? American citizens
who have built homes and founded
industries theie. These citizen'* have
some sort of claim, on the netional
government, and the govercmfnt wi 1
do le^s than its duty by them
if it shall fail to honor their demand
for juster treatment st the hands of
coogress.
Alaska is developing rapidlv. It is
steadily increasing io population. New
industriei are constantly sprmging up
Mines |are oeing opened and worked.
Railroad construct ion is making rapid
progress. The people there are indus
trious, intelligent and law-abiding.
They should t>e given a form of govern
ment which will permit them to work
out such local problems as may con
cern them. Not in all the territorial
history of the American nation has the
national government withheld, as it is
now withholding from Alaska, the
boon and blessing of organized local
institutions.
Alaska should be given, not a junket
ing commission io inquire into facts
already known, but a territorial form
of government, such as has been given
to other territories from the beginning
of the American cation. That woula
be the square and just thing to do.

MYSELF
[Original.]
One morning a man in a close car
riage bowled along over the Elyslan
fields In Paris toward a summit upon
? which the great Napoleon built the
arch to commemorate his victories and
passed down ou the other side to the
8oulogne wood. A man inside called
t halt.
Alighting, he directed the coachman
to drive on over a crest and wait.
Then he began to pace idly back and
forth, now turning to the east to ad
mire the tints painted on the clouds
by the coming god of day, now snap
ping off a blossoming head of clover or
dandelion. lie was an intellectual
looking person, with a cast of counte
nance denoting the artistic or Imagina
tive faculty, straight and slender, with
a mass of black hair falling down over
his coat collar.
Presently he took out his watch, not
ed the hour and muttered:
"It is time some of theui should ar
rive."
A moment later the grinding of
wheels was heard and another carriage
came in sight, drove to where the man
was standing, stopped, and a genllemau
alighted and stood face to face with the
first comer, lie was followed by two
companions, one carrying a bundle of
foils, the other a box.
"Ah. SI. Charlier," said the new
comer, "why do I find you here alone?
Where are the seconds?"
"Wait." said M. Charlier. "You are
not the only person I am to meet this
morning. There are several persons
alio wish to deprive me of my life,
and I propose that all shall have a fair
chance."
" 'First come, first served," is a good
rule. 1 solicit the privilege of taking
juy revenge before any one else has
had a chance to deprive me of It. The
Insult 1 have received caunot possibly
have been equaled. 1 demand au op
portunity to show you"
Meanwhile another carriage drove
up and out stepped another party.
This time there were two men carry
ing foils and. as before, oue bearing a
box. The priucipal could easily be
recognized from the surprise witlr
which he noticed that a party similar
to his owu had arrived before him.
"Pardon me. gentlemen," he said.
"What does this mean?"
"It means. M. de Musser." said
Charlier. "that M. Kubidoux here, hav
ing demanded satisfaction, as you have
done, is entitled to it as much as you."
"But M. Kubidoux cannot possibly
have the grievance that I have. Some
petty breach of etiquette, perhaps,
while I"?
Again there was a sound of wheels.
The men looked aud saw two more
carriages coming.
"What do you mean, M. Charlier?"
asked M. Kubidoux. "Are these car
riages intended for your funeral
train?"
"They bear other persous who come
here for satisfaction."
The two carriages stopped, and from
each a party aiiglited. all looking as
tonished at seeing so many persous
present. M. Charlier stepped forward
to Introduce them.
"M. Kubidoux. M. de Musser. per
mit me to present M. Tetedoux aud M.
Cardiac."
All four meu bowed very low, takiug
off their hats aud stirring up consid
erable dust with the wind made by
their sweeps. Their atteudants stood
in groups looking on, wondering at the
strange turn the affair had taken.
"If all those you expect," said M.
Kubidoux. "are present. 1 beg to say
to them that, as first comer, I shall in
?ist" - ?
"Aud I, ti?>. insist, interrupted L'e
Musser.
"Gentlemen!" exclaimed M. Tetedoux
In a souorous bass voice.
"Gentlemeu!" cried M. Cardiac in
toui-s of a shrill reed iustruuieut.
i 'burlier folded liis anus and waited.
"This fellow." cried Rubidoux, "has
sought to save himself from my Just
wrath by (ticking a tjuarrtrl with so
mauy that he thinks all not being able
to take satisfaction we will let him off.
I propose we cast lots for first chance."
"Agreed." cried all the others at once.
Charlier himseli wrote their names
each on a separate hit of paper, put
them in a bat, oue of the seconds drew
and tlie first chance fell to M. Rubi
doux They fought, and >1. Rubidoux
was so eager to finish the case himself
that hi- fenced hotly and badly. Pres
ently his foil went fiying in the air.
He was obliged to give way to the next
uiau whose tiauie had been drawn, and
M. Cardiac stood up before the victor.
"I'll show you that you cannot In
sult me by drawing what you conceive
to be my character In your miserable
novel with impunity."
"What novel':" asked De Musser.
" '.Moi.' " replied Cardiac. "Jules
Garnier in that story Is a caricature
of myself."
"Not at all," put iu M. Tetedoux,
"Garnier was drawn from me."
"Gentlemen." interrupted M. Rubl
doux, "I think I can convince you that
the portrait Is Intended to be mine
when I tell you that M. Charlier sent
me a copy of the book to read."
"He sent me a copy!" exclaimed M.
Tetedoux.
"And nie! And me!" cried both the
others.
Charlier smiled Ironically.
"Gentlemen." he said, "the portrait
of Jules Garnier was drawn from my
self."
It was some time before he could
convince each of the "four men that he
was not caricatured, but ail finally
gave way, and he invited them to
breakfast with him. The next morning
an account of the affair appeared In
the morning papers, and all Paris rush
ed to the book stands to buv a copy of
"Moi." WENDELL C. M'LAIN.
Impossible to Get Employment, as

Itching Sores ? Scratched Till

dreds of Dollars on Doctors and
Hospitals and Grew Worse
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN FIVE WEEKS
"Since the year 1S94 I have bern
troubled with a very bad ease of
eczema which I have spent hundreds
of dollars trying
to cure, and I went
to the hospital,
but they failed to
cure ine and it
was getting worse
all the time. Five
weeks ago my wife
bought a box of
Cuticura Ointr
inent and one
cake of Cuticura
Soap, and I am
pleased to say that I am now completely
cured and well.
"It was impossible for me to get
employment, as my face, head, and
body were covered with it. The
eczema first appeared on the top of
my head, and it had worked all the
way around down the back of my neck
and around to my throat, down my
body and around the hips. It itched
i would be obliged to scratch it,
and the flesh was raw.
"I would first wash the affected
parts with warm water and Cuticura
Soup, and then apply Cuticura Oint
ment and let it remain on all night, and
in the morning 1 would use Cuticura
Soap. I am now all well, which all
mj- friends can testify to, and I will be
pleased to reeommend the Cuticura
Kemedies to any and all persons who
wish a speedy and permanent cure of
skin diseases." Thomas M. Rossiter,
