SUM OF MONEY
Juneau—Hamilton R. Simpson,
whom the Washington State Su
preme Court decided last week is
the real legatee to a bequest of
*(>,000, given by M. J. Heney, ac
cording to the terms of his will,
to “R. H. Simpson,” is well known
in Alaska, whore he lived for
many years, lie was employed
for many years as a locomotive
' engineer on the While Pass. Af
terward lie was deputized United
Slates marshal at Skagway. He
resigned this position after a few
years, and left for the westward,
where be was employed on the
Coppper River Northwestern
railway as a division superin
tendent. He has been called “Ro
tary Bill” Simpson. The “Ro
tary” part of the name came from
the fact that lie operated a rotary
snow plow on the Rocky moun
tain division of the Croat North
ern, and afterward performed like
services on the White Pass.
The lawsuit that developed ov
er the Heney will resulted from
lhe fact that a Richard H. Simp
son, whom 'Heney knew for many
years, claimed the legacy for
himself. It was proved by oral
testimony that Heney had Hamil
ton R. Simpson, the former Skag
vayite, in his mind when he
wrote his will. Heney and Simp
son were dose personal friends
and had been associates for many
years. Heney always called Simp
son “Bill," and had forgotten the
manner in which he wore his ini
tials when he was talking to his
lawyer about the disposition of
bis estate.
Simpson is now ranching in
.Nevada.
Heney gave many of bis form
er associates at Skagway and
Cordova various sums of money
running from $0,000 to $-’5,000.
A dance for the benefit of the
Call Indie church will be held at.
Moose hall on Saturday. May to.
Tickets, including lunch, will be

Little Thoughts That Help.
Just as an experiment, see how
far you can walk in live minutes.
II will convince you that a lot of
your hurrying is needless.
Many of us lei slip a thousand
opportunities by waiting for in
spiration, forget ling I hat idleness
is not inspiring. “Inspiration
comes In him who works.”
Don’l be afraid to give compli
ments. Over-delicacy in this re
sped is a social handicap and a
cause of much needless lack of
popularity.
Is il, wise l'oi' sensitive natures
l.o expose themselves In tragical
plays and harrowing novels? They
pay for the experience by suffer
ing a ghastly nervous exhaustion
out of all proportion In the tem
porary thrill.
Are you one of I he people who
Imp up nervously when the train
is nearing the station and stand
mil it il stops? You think you
are saving a lot of time, whereas
a ear empties itself in three
tpiarlers id' a minute.
You have heard of “the total
depravity of inanimate objects."
They are not depraved.
\Yo blame them for our own
folly—as when we pile dishes in
reckless heaps that are doomed to
lip over, to pour hot sauce into
culglass, or when we get into a
ilrak room without Irving to re
nieniher where the furniture is.
Why are people so aware of
their sensitiveness to I lie color of
furniture and wall paper and so
blind to the effect of the color of
artificial light on the feelings?
Really, a airflow light and an
agreeable lampshade go far to
ward making the evening restful
and cheerful and cozy.
Cigar Factory Readers.
Workers iu Havana cigar factories
are aristocrats of labor. Without a
thold or binder or any pattern to
follow, each hand turns out fifty,
seventy-five of- 100 cigars a day, dll
identical in shape, size and weight.
Working by the piece and highly
paid, the cigarmaker insists on be
ing amused. His amusement takes
the form of being read to aloud. At
every cigar factory in Havana a
reader, engaged and paid by the
hands themselves, occupies a pulpit
in the center of the room for some
hours every day, regaling his audi
ence with newspapers and novels.
Some of these readers receive as,
much as $50 a week. — Chicago

THE LAST ttANQC BUTTALO
IN SOUTH bAKOTA NlLLtb
St. Paul, May 1.—The last
range buffalo in South Dakota has
been- killed, according to Emet
Anderson, a cattleman, who owns
a ranch at Rattlesnake Butte. The
country there is still unfenced,
givihg them open range. About
14 years ago three wild buffaloes
came from the north and were
seen on the range. One of the
cows had a calf. That calf be
camii the 'only wild buffal(o jin
that pari of the country, and its
mother and her two companions
were killed by hunters. The buf
falo was pursued often by cow
boys, but she could outrun the
Heelest horse. She was recently
shot, after a long chase.
MAGAZINES.
(By George Filch.)
Magazines existed two centu
ries ago, but have improved so
much in the last 20 years that
the 20th century ought to have
the Credit for them.
A magazine is an instrument
for the introduction of break
fast food, hole-proof socks, au
tomobiles , patent suspenders,
new' process Hour, improved
shoes and literature in the home.
In this work the magazine has {
been so marvelously successful
of late that the man who sits
down to read a gentle little love
story in a half-pound monthly
publication often .ends up by
buying a new self-cranking war
and S3 lineal feet of encyclope
dia".
Magazines are originally pad
ded with advertisements in order
to support literature. Nowadays
the stories are put into them
in order to tempt the reader
back into the advertisements.
When magazines are published
by quiet men with skyscraper
brows advertisements are looked
on with contempt and only ac
cepted as •• personal favor to the
advertisers. In those days au
thors were paid *1 a page and
died in a few years full of fame
and poslively nothing else what
ever.
Nowadays magazines rent out
spare to advertisers for Sl.ofiO a
page and more. This .enables
them to pay -SI a word for liter
aim e and Ihe authors of Ihe
country can readily he deluded
hy their diamond-studded foun
tain pens.
Tile-authors of today may not
lie long-lived in history, hut they
are fuller than they used In he.
Then.* are now so many mag
azines in this country Ilia! when
a man can write In* has to dis
guise himself in a barrel to keep
the editors away from him.
Magazines do mil produce so
much deathless literature aslluw
once did. lull they scatter much
more information regarding
science, polities, the drama, slid
ing I «,i second, I In* Monlessnri
method, college education for
corn, ingrowing slandpalism and
easy methods of reaching Ihe
north and south poles. The mag
azine of today is a liberal educa
tion and a ladder hy which a man
with a good knowledge of adver
tising can climb rapidly into our
most select correct circles.
There are two grades of mag
azine success—literary and finan
cial. In the literary success Ihe
reader looks over the stories, be
fore he reads the advertisements.
In the other kinds he reads the
stories after he has gorged him
self wiih art and reason in Ihe
advertising section. j.
