JT Gi) TABLE
Here is a fragment of Frederick
W. Seward's story of his father's
purchase of Alaska from Russia for
the United States la 1867 as told
iu "Reminiscences of a Wartime
Statesman and Diplomat."
On ♦be evening of Friday, Mar.
2!), Seward was playing whist in
his parlor with some of his family,
when the Russian minister was an
nounced. 1 ,
"I liave a dispatch., Mr. Seward,
from my government by; cable. Tie
emuorer gives bis consent to the
cession. Tomorrow, if you like, I
will come to tba department and
we can enter upon, tba treaty."
Seward with a smile of satisfac
tion, pushed away tbe whist table,
saying:
"Why wait until tomorrow, Mr.
Stoeckl? Let us make tbe treaty
tonight.'"
"But your department is closed.
Ycu have no clerks, gad my sec
retaries ara scattered about the
town."
"Never mind that,'' responded
Seward. "It you can muster your
legation together before midnight
you will find me waiting you at the
department which will be open
and ready for business."
In less than two hours afterward
light waa streaming out of the
windows of tbe state department,
and apparently business was going
on a« at midday. By 4 o'clock
Saturday morning tba treaty was
signed, sealed and ready for trans
mission by tha president to tbe sen
ate.
There wag need of tbis baste in
order to have it acted upon before
the end o£ the session, now near
at. hand.
CZAR'S. CHURCH RULES

Fot fifty years tbe czar has been
complacently making Russian sub

tho Stars and Stripes.
The Aleutian Islands, together
with. Kodiak and Sitka, comprise
our Alsace-Lorraine — a land un

For years tba federal and terri
torial schools have been trying to
overcome tbis opposition and to
tuin tho youngsters toward Ameri
canism. But even today the. native
children speak English, on the
school groun-dg only jvben policed

Every home or but its
portrait of the czar — the "Little

F«r Fields Ar# Always Green.
Nearly every fellow la in hopes that
somo day he 'will be ablo to quit the
kind of work he Is doing. If It Is hard
work, he wants to do something easy,
and If It Is easy he wants a position
that isn't so confining. If he has a
job where ho works in an office part
of the time and on the street part of
the time ie wants to get into some
thing where he won't always have to
be running in and out.
The clerk in a store ttiinks he would
like a place where he wouldn't^iave to
work regular hours, and man
whoso time belongs to himself thinks
he would like to be a clerk. "When
you are through with ihe day's work,"
he says to the clerk, -you're through,
but I have always got something to
worry me."
Husband thinks that doing the house
work and talking to the neighbor Is a
snap, and wife feels that she would
be perfectly happy if she could go out
and work like a man does.
Almost everybody is dissatisfied with
his Job and Is determined that his son
shall not do that kind of work. Even
the fellow who draws an enormous
salary isn't contented—he feels he
ought to be doing something else.—Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
How a Beaver Can Work.
A young beaver in Regent's park
gardens, London, was once placed at
work upon a tree twelve feet long and
two feet six inches thick Just as the
town clocks sounded the hour of noon.
The beaver began by barking the tree
a foot above the ground. That done,
he attacked the wood. He worked
hard, alternating his labor with dips
in his bathing pond. He bathed and
labored alternately until 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, when he ate his supper
of bread and carrots and paddled about
In his pond until half past 5 o'clock.
Ten minutes later, when only one Inch
of the tree's diameter remained intact,
he bore upon his work, and the tree
fell. Before it fell the beaver ran as
men run when they have fired a blast
Then as the tree lay on the ground he
portioned It out mentally and again be
gan to gnaw. He worked at Intervals
all night, cut the log into three parts,
rolled two of the portions into the wa
ter and reserved the other third for his
permanent shelter. The work done, he
took a bath.
Waterton'e Climb.
The steeplejack's ability to keep hia
head and feet while working on a
"top" which is a ledge three feet wide
between abysses 500 feet deep is a
gift. Like the poet, the steeplejack is
born, not made. Charles Waterton,
the naturalist, had the gift and would
have adorned the profession—the only
one into which men do not drift
When on a visit to Rome, Waterton
determined to rival the feats of the
Italian climbers who yearly scaled the
dome of St. Peter's and the pinnacles
of the castle of St. Angelo, to illumi
nate their summits on the feast of St.
Peter. Eighty men used to climb the
dome on two successive nights, and
the boldest completed the spectacle by
crowning the cross with a waving
torch of Are. Each night's show was
said, on the average, to cost a man's
life. Waterton scaled the dome by
daylight and left his glove upon the
vane.—Los Angeles Times.
Helping the Clock.
"Aha!" said the head clerk. "I'm
glad to notice that you're arriving
punctually now, Mr. Sloeombe."
"Yes, sir. I've bought a i>arrot."
"A parrot? What on earth for? I
told you to get an alarm clock."
"Yes; I did. But after a day or two
I got used to it. and it didn't wake me.
So I got the parrot And now when I
go to bed I fix the alarm clock and
put the parrot's cage on top of it
When the alarm goes off it startles
the parrot, and what that bird says
would wake up anybody."—London
Fun.
Inconsistent.
"I hear you were arrested for speed
ing."
"Yes. The judge was a friend of
mine."
"You were In luck."
"Not at all. It's true he Inquired po
litely about my health, but when I said
I was feeling well he assessed a fine
that made me sick."—Exchange.
What Would Stagger Them.
A philosopher writing in the Milwau
kee Journal says:
"It is a popular diversion to talk
about how dumfounded our grandfa
thers would be by our telephones and
motorcars, and so on, but apparently
no one dares imagine what they would
think of the bills."
Went Too Far.
An unsuccessful lover was asked by
what means he had lost the object of
his affections.
"Alas," he said, "I flattered her till
she got too proud to speak to me!"
Two Barks.
What is the difference between the
bark of a tree and that of a dog?
One is the product of the bough, the
other of the "bowwow."
Cowardly.
Bounder—I took you home the other
night. Rounder—Yes, and then, you
coward, you left me to face my wife
alone.
Price and Quality.
"It is a mistake to eat cheap, infe
rior food."
"It may be inferior, my friend, but
it's never cheap."—Washington Star.
Every man hath a good and a bad
angel attending on him in particular
all Ills life long.—Robert Burton.
