POFM READ AT PASSAGE
OF RAILROAD KILL I
Here is an interesting little poem j
that seems to fit most appropriate
ly into a story of the development
of Alaska. It was quoted anonym
ously by Representative Joseph A. ]
Goulden, of New York, as the last
word on the passage of the Alaska 1
railroad bill. The measure had bee:t
aoproved in its final form by the |
senate and was ready for the drop i
ot the gavel in tiu< house. when '
Representative Goulden read ihe.-e,
veses:
l"p Where Alaska I ten ins
lTp where the hand clasp's a little
stronger,
Cp where the smilj dwells a little]
longer—
That's where Alaska begins.
Up where the sun's a little
brighter.
Where the snow that falls is a
trifle whiter.
Where the bonds of home are a
wee bit tighter—
That's where Alaska begins.
Up where a fresher breeze is
blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there's moro ot reaping
and less of sowing—
That's where Alaska begins.
T_Tp where Alaska is >>: the mak
ing—
Where fewer hearts with despair
are aching,
Where there's more of giving and
less of taking—
That's where Alaska leg ins.
Where there's more of singing
and less of sighing,
Where there's more of giving and
less of buying,
And a man makes friends with
out half trying—
That's where Alaska begins.
Whereupon, as the Congressional
Record puts it, "the bill was pass

Two Kinds of
Sovereigns .
By DONALD CHAMBERLJN
Aaron Skinner, nil American, travel
ing abroad, found himself one day at a
little lun Id the dukedom of Hesse
Melnlngen. It was the fall of the year,
nud Skinner was a NImrod.
"Any shooting about here?" he asked
of the landlord.
"A little, herr—that Is, the preserves
of the grand duke are near here, and
sometimes the birds (ly out Into the
woods near by. One can occasionally
pick off a brace that have strayed."
"Can you lend me a fowling piece?"
"Certainly, herr."
The landlord got the gun and appur
tenanoes mid handed them to the
American, saying.
•He careful, herr, uot to trespass on
the grand duke's grounds, for If caught
lliere you would lie arrested for poach
Ins, mid it might go bard, with you."
Skinner went forth to pick up "a
few orumhs from the rich man's ta
ble." One may stray n ions way after
game without knowing it. ami be had
been wandering an hour without re
alb.ing how far he had gone or how
many walls or fences he h:.d passed
over when suddenly, having crawled
miller a rusty wire netting, he found
himself amid a plintlful supply of
pheasants, lie had brought one down
and was picking it up when, hearing a
footstep, he looked around and saw a
m.iii with u gun in his hand looking at
hi i.'i.
"A good sliiit." remarked the other
'Oh that's nothing 1 learned to
shout in America, where we still have
some wild game left That's shooting
This is merely execution."
"Iliileed! How do you happen to be
executing birds here?"
"I aiu a tourist, stopping at the Inn
I'he landlord told me 1 might happen
to get a few birds In this wood that
have down out of the grand duke's pre
serve The duke seems to lie losing a
aond many hereabout."
"lie can Sjiare them; he has more
ill in In- coul.I shoot in a lifetime. So
yiiii are ::n American?"
"I .-in"
"At.d every American Is a sovereign.
i tie r
"Tie thinks he Is."
"What rlo you mean by that?"
"Didn't .vmi know that we have kings
ami queens In AmericaV"
"No: how Jo you uiake that out?"
"Au American kin;; is the political
b"as controlling the region In which
ho lives "
"And l!io rpiren?"
"Cnr queens are our wives and
sweethearts The I'oss makes a man
fielieve lie has a lot to sa.v about the
government. ami the wives and sweet
hearts make u» think we are ruling
iIkiii with undisputed sway."
"And vol; tli.nk that the sovereignty
of the boss is preferable to that of a
kills?"
"Docldedlv. lie doesn't have a royal
family to support."
"But he bleeds yon through Jobs."
"Certainly, but he can't plunge us
mto a war whenever he likes, which
i> far more expensive."
The man smiled "Vou have a pun
r;iiit way of putting things, my friend.
I confcss you entertain me. I have a
shack near here. 1 would be pleased
to have you take luncheon with me."
"With pleasure."
Stuffing the bird he had shot Into bis
game bag he went with the man
through the wood till he came to a
sumptuous lodge, about which persous
m gorgeous livery were moving. When
the bnusmen came up to them they
saluted respectfully, and the man told
one of them to take the guest to a
room for a toilet When the visitor
was ready the two sat down to lunch
eon. The principal dish served was a
brace of pheasants.
"I presume these birds origiually be
longed to the grand duke." remarked
Skluiier.
"Tlu-y did."
"What kind of a cliap Is he?"
"lie's uot a bad fellow. Suppose 1
were to go to America. Do you sup
pose I could become one of your boss
kings?"
"I don't think it would pay you to
be one of our princes of the blood.
They usually originate, like the oyster,
on n muddy bottom and work up to a
surface of slime."
"But don't you object to being gov
erned by such persons?"
"Oh, no. At least nobody does ex
cept the reformers."
"Who are the reformers?"
"They are the persons who are try
ing to get Into the bosses' places."
"I?ut haven't you any real reformers
in America?"
"Not ordinarily. The people haven't
time for reform; we're too busy. Oc
casionally on a big job, like break
ing up su hulling places, races, for in
st.; nee, we all butt against It together
Hut we don't follow it up. We're rich
Wo can afford to stand to be robbed.''
"Then you don't think It would pay
me to give tip my Job here and go to
America as one of the rulers there?"
"What is your job?"
tJrand Puke of Hesse-Melnlngen."
Skinner was raising a glass of wine
to his lips when this announcement
was made. He paused and looked at
his entertainer
"And I was shooting In your pre
serves?"
"Yes. Vou had doubtless got into
them unintentionally, but you were
quite welcome."
"No," said Skinner after some
thought, "It wouldn't pay you, and it
wouldn't pay us."
