ALASKA'S FUTURE.
The possibilities of Alaska have
been brought prominently into
the publio mind by the discovery
of gold in the territory. Since
the purchase ot Alaska in 1867,
no other event of particular im-
portance has attracted attention
of the world to this isolated mem-
ber of the United States, which
now|begius to loom up as a laud
of promising future. President
McKinlev, in his message to con
gress, urges extension of civil
authority within this "vast and
remote yet promising portion of
onr country."
Alaska is almost as large as the
oombined area of Texas, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maine,
Louisiana and California. Its
northernmost point is over 100
miles further removed from the
north of Finland, yet every psrt
of Finland is inhabited by an in-
telligent and progressive people.
Junefta, the capital of Alaska, is
100 miles south of the latitude of
St. Petersburg. If the line of the
new Siberian railroad were ex
tended through Alaska, the great,
er part of that territory would lie
south of the line. And it is be-
lieved that the Siberian rail toad
will become the great highway of
trans-Asiatic commerce, changing
materially the course of trade be-
tween the eastern nations of Eu-
rope and the United States, as it
undoubtedly will change the
move Bent of freight from Europe
to China and Japan.
The climate of Alaska, more-
over, is less rigorous thau that of
Siberia, owing to the warm Japan
current that washes the shores of
northwestern America. I n the
southern half on the country the
hardier agricultural products can
be raised in abundance.

Dimples.
Not of the classlos I'll sIdk me
Grand old Athens and Rome;
Not though their gods should bring me
Venus begirt with sea foam;
v«t at thy feet wonld I fling me
There pledging my heart and my home,
Nor goddeaa nor Roman nor Greek
Kre displayed such coquetry unique
As the dimples that bide la thy cheek.
Not of thine eyes I'll write me,
Brimful of Innocent glee;
Not of those eyes though they light me
Hope'sstafa on Ufa's desolate sea.
Nor those sweet lips ISTlteme,
Hymettus boffvUIng the bees.
On, well could I tell, would I speak
Of the billows of laughter that leak
Through the dlmplea that bide In thy cheek.
•
Lots though on kisses he dined me
Blown from thy fair finger tips,
Ay, thoncb on cordial he wined me
Pressed from thy ripe, cherry lips,
Lore, himself, coold not bind me
'Till with his quirks and quips
He played me at bide and seek
With wlthery's smiling clique
Mid the dimples that Dlde In thy cheek.

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 9.—
Kate Neal, the society girl of
Sweet Springs, Mo., who ran away
from her home with J. C. Johnson,
her fatbei's negro coachman, was
taken to the insane asylum at St.
Joseph. She was accompanied by
Dr. J. W. Owens of Sweet
Springs, her father's close friend, and fresh,
who had a certificate from Dr.
John Punton of Kansas City and
Dr. R. S. Wilson of Sweet
Springs, declaring ttie young wo-
man to be of unsound mind. This
certificate was a result of an ex-
pert examination made by the doc-
tors. She made no objection to
going to the asylum, saying that
she feared if she were taken to
her heme she might kill someone.
Notwithstanding her dementia.
Miss Neal realized the bitterness
of the disgrace brought upon
herself and her family, and her
grief was frantic. Her screams
could be heard in the distant cor-
ridors of the hotel.
The girl's parents had been no-
tified of her prefence here, and
Dr. Wilson and Dr. Owens were
spnt to Kansas City with instruc-
tions from her father to take her
to the insane asylum. She had
known Dr. Owens all her life and
to him she told the truth of her
elopement with Johnson, her fath-
er's negro servant.
She said Johnson seemed to
have some powerful influence over
ber that she could not resist. She
admitted having associated with
him lor some years, the only ex-
cuse for this conduct being that
he bad exerted an undue influence.
She insisted, too, that Johnson
had told her be was not a ne^ro,
but a Spaniard, although she had
known him from childhood.
At times the girl showed un-
mistakable signs of insanity. She
declared that there were two
young men in Sweet Springs who
had talked about her and she
threatened to kill both of them if
she ever saw them. She told the
doctors that she wonld kill her-
self at the first opportunity.
When Dr. Punton was called he
made a careful diagnosis of her
case and promptly determined
that her mind was unbalanced.
When the elopement was made
public the girl's age was given at
19, but she is 25 years old. She
was reared amid surroundings of
refinement, and the only way her
parents can account for her infatu-
ation for the negro is on the
theory of insanity. Her mother
is frantic with grief, and to ail
friends of the family the verdict
cf insanity is a welcome explana-
tion of the girl's conduct.
