MILLARD AND THE RAILROAD.
Senator B. F. Millard was the au
thor of the joint memorial which was
passed by the first Alaska legislature
and was drawn by him and offered as
the first act of the newly created
body. It endorses fully the report of
the Alaska Railroad Commission. The
resolution, found on page 19 of the
Senate Journal, entitled “Senate Joint
Resolution No. 1,” follows:
“Be it Resolved by the Senate, the
Haase concurring, of the Territory of
ahnt. That the report of the Alaska
Railway Commission, recently sub
mitted to the president and the con
cress of the United States, be, and
the same is, hereby approved;
And oe It ruriuer nfsuivcu,
the Honorable Woodrow Wilson, pres
ident, be, and he Is, hereby respect
JuBy urged to make the construction
ml railroads in Alaska and the open
ing up and development of the re
anorces of Alaska along the lines rec
ommended by said commission a
' jpreminent feature of his message to
Abe special session of congress to be
oenvened on or about the 1st day of
^nlpra, A. D. 1913.”
Three days after the inauguration
tBenator Millard wired to President
Wilson urging the construction of a
eastern of railroads to open Alaska.
That Senator Millard and every
wimntnr in the first legislature want
.nallroads for Alaska there can be no
>4eabt, and that the majority of them,
,-JI not all, are opposed to the Alaska
Syndicate and its methods of operat
"dng in the territory is also undisputed.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AT WORK.
People who, being given to the ex
ercise of common sense, have no faith
in either the doctrines or works of
Christian Science, and yet dismiss it
a harmless delusion which does not
particularly concern themselves, prob
mbly will, and certainly should, revise
.their opinion on reading the details
4tf a case which a coroner’s jury in
AhA Bronx has just described as one
■*ti “criminal negligence.”
The description is apt, since en
^daagering the lives of others is what
-makes negligence criminal, and that
As precisely what was done in this
Amtance.
■A. certain John C. Wessels had a
Ae*y, and the baby sickened of diph
Aberia, a terrible malady, but one
Abat can be diagnosed with certainty
'Apdta early stage and is curable with
a CivSe approacn 10 cei ui111i v II 11 tra-t—
ad as every doctor knows how to
treat and does treat It. The Wessels
•daily’s illness was not diagnosed, and
4h* only treatment it received was
‘ftism a woman utterly ignorant of
' Medicine who was called in to tell the
dkild that there was nothing the mat
ter with It! Against the veracity of
SUa statement the baby, after sever
ed days of cruel suffering, presented
vseavincing evidence by dying.
Meanwhile no precautions were tak
en to protect the other Wessels chil
dren from infection, and one of them,
a girl of 12, went to school as usual,
carrying with her a plentiful supply
■■mt diphtheritic germs. These she dis
tributed among her companions, sev
en of whom contracted the disease.
Some people may see only pathos
la the baby’s death, and be disposed
i» excuse the father as a man who
acted on his religious conviction and
■with the best of motives. They will
•mot, especially if parents, view so
nalmly the convincing illustration he
-gave of the unquestionable fact that
.all association with Christian Scien
tists or their children is full of dead
ly dangers, for of course they deal
-with other infectious maladies In ex
actly the way this follower of Mrs. Ed
dy did with diphtheria, and for not. all
<£ those diseases, even if discovered
in time, are trustworthy specifics yet
available.
Yet we hear that the Eddyites are
'nice, cheerful, pious persons, a little
gpeer or absurd in the<r notions, in
deed, but harmless and likable, and
that, anyhow, their beliefs concern
themselves alone! We are also told
that "there is something in it.” There
la, for a tact.—New York Times.

HEART PALPITATION.
A* a Rule, It la Caused by Nervous or
Digestive Trouble.
It Is rarely, If ever, that palpitation
is due to any disease or weakness of
the heart It is almost invariably the
result of nervous or digestive trouble.
The beat of the heart arises within it
self. There are nerves in the muscles
of the heart, and they regulate its
beating, although the speed or rate of
the benttng is not of their choosing.
If they were not held in check they
would set a rate about double that
which is actually maintained.
The heart is supplied from the brain
with two pairs of regulating nerves.
One pair, the cardio-motor nerves, act
only to spur up the heart to quicker
action. They are usually inactive,
waiting the occasion for applying the
spur. The other pair, the cardio-inhib
itory nerves, are nlways In action.
It has been said that the heart runs
In a pair of tightly held reins, and the
simile is true, for these nerves check
tiie speed. Fear, worry, disorder of
the stomach or nervous system, cause
these cardio-inhibitory nerves to relax;
then the heart begins to race.
There Is nothing the mutter with the
heart itself, and no one need be alarm
ed about that organ Just because it
beats too rapidly. Its palpitation Is
due to a psychological or a physical
cause, something that has caused the 1
relaxation of the reins and allowed the
cardio-motor nerves to apply the spur.
TWO EARLY BIRDS.
One of Them, Though, Was a Safe Lap
Ahead of the Other.
King George and the Duchess of
Fife are both keen anglers, and they
have long been rivals at the sport.
One autumn when the court was at j
Balmoral both had fished patiently for
some days in a pool of the river Dee,
trying to catch a particularly big salm
on that was reported to be lurking
there. Each was anxious to beat the
other, so very early one morning King
George hurried off toward the pool In
the hope of catching the salmon before
his niece was up.
To his surprise he found the princess
strolling beside the river, and she im
mediately began to cross examine him
as to what he was doing there so early
with bis fishing tackle. In the end the
king had to admit rather shamefaced
ly that he had intended to steal a
march on her and try to catch the elu
sive salmon before she was up.
The princess read him a very severe
lecture on what she called his un
sportsmanlike behavior and. extracted
from him an admtssion that he was
sorry. Then, with a smile of triumph,
she showed him her own fishing tackle
and the big salmon lying behind a rock
on the bank. She had been up just a
little before her uncle, had caught the
salmon and had hidden it when she
saw him coming.—London Tit-Bits.
A Romance of Finance.
The present high value of shares in
the New River company—opened jnst
300 years ago—formed one of the most
romantic stories in the history of
finance. James I. advanced Hugh M.vd
dolton part of the capital for his proj
ect in consideration of an allotment of
one-half the shares—which numbered
seventy-two. For twenty-five years uo
dividends were paid, and the shares
“king's" and “adventurer's" alike—
were worth £5 apiece, and Charles 1
thought he had done well when he in
dueed the company to take over his
bolding in consideration of a fixed
settlement of £500 a year. Twenty
years ago an undivided “adventurer’s"
share was sold in the open market for
£94.900.—London Chronicle.
They Had Studied English.
The editor at oue of the experiment
stations, desiring a complete reference
library of his state, sent a circular let
ter to the horticultural, dairying and
other agricultural organizations of
Wisconsin asking for copies of their
“last report”
Most of them came all right, but oue
organization wrote. "Our Inst report,
we hope, is not yet published, but we
take pleasure in sending under sepa
rate cover a copy of our latest report.”
How It Struck Him.
The steward, showing the new Amer
ican father-in-law over his son-in
law's ancestral halls. “Th' west wing
is 'aunted. sir Th’ ghost of his lud
ship’s sainted grite-grnndmother walks
th’ 'alls every night. Nobody hever
thinks of goin' there awfter dark, sir.”
The American father-in-law. rubbing
bis bands: "Fine. The very place for
a quiet game of draw when th' boys
come over!”—Cleveland Plain Dealer
Took a Recess.
“1 was in mourning for my husband
a whole year, from the fitb of March
to the fitb of May.”
“But —excuse me — that’s fourteen
months!”
"Yes. But in the carnival season 1
stopped for two mouths.” — Meggen
dorfer Blaetter.
