An important statement recently re-cently made by Signor Marconi touching a matter wh:ch attract-ed attract-ed much attention some time ago has received less notice than it deserves. This was in relation rela-tion to the possibility of making the messages sent through the air exclusive. Signor Marconi declared at a general meeting of his company in London that the defects with reference to secrecy had been removed, and that after perfecting arrangements in Canada he would challenge Sir William Preece and Professor Profes-sor Lodge to intercept messages. He announced that the -next series of tests would include the transmission of words and mes sages, and that under present conditions there was nothing to prevent the company from un-deitaking un-deitaking commercial communication commun-ication with ships at sea.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD GLEAN ALASKA A FERTILE REGION. The Ureit Noi;iiwsleru Territory Produces Pro-duces Un;xpKctel Harvest . Alaska is not as barren a land as people generally regard it. The commonly com-monly received opinion is that it is a region of snow and ice, of chilly blasts and utter desolation. Governor Brady, Bra-dy, however, thinks there is much to enjoy there, if one may judge by his Thanksgiving proclamation, in which he sets forth many reasons for gratitude. grati-tude. - tiere are some of then: "We in Alaska in comparing our blessings with those which our friends enjoy in other places fled that we have much for which to be thankful. Some things are so common and constant with us that we scarcely appreciate them our equal climate and abundance of rain. The terrible h at of the past summer in the east did not disturb our comfort, but aroused our. sympathy for those who had to endure it. Drouth and arid wastes we cannot complain of. We have an abundance of grass, and where men have attempted to till the earth it has yielded many fold and those who have tried it are satisfied that greater things are in store for them. The sea has not failed to yield of its abundance and our fishermen have been handsomely rewarded for their toil. The mineral wealth of Alaska is more promising today than in the past. It is here, and when obtained ob-tained will represent human effort. We have not been visited by destructive destruct-ive disturbances of the atmosphere, earth or sea. While we recount our manifold blessings our thoughts will be tempered by the calamity which overwhelmed so many people on the steamship Islander and by the humiliation humil-iation which we feel in the manner of the death of President McKinley."

JOHN WILSON'S "GOOD BOY." DotJng: l'afiher Gets Some Inlightenmeril t; to His Offspring. John Wilson was a thrifty mechanic with a nice home, a cheery wife and three rhildren, the youngest of whom was a boy named John. The elder John was a pioua Christian man, who tried faithfully not to commit the sir; of idolatry in his feeling for his son, but it was impossible. He worshiped the boy. The young John, then five years old, was a. real boy in all, the term implies. His father was sure he was the best that ever lived, and already al-ready he saw him as a man preaching good to all men, for that was the hope in the elder John's bosom. One day when the father came back from the slliop he brought with him a pretty tin ctip oh which was written in gild letters? let-ters? "To a Good Boy." He gave it to his son, and the child looked up into his face like an angel and smiled. Two days later, as John Wilson came home-;ward home-;ward when the day was done, he was thinking proudly of his boy who would meet him at the gate, when his attention atten-tion was attracted by a dog coming licketysplit down the street with a tin cup tied to his tail and knocking ragtime rag-time out of the sidewalk. Before Mr. Wilson could get out of the way the dog dashed between his legs, upsetting him into a coal hole and piling in on top of him, in a tangle that was terrific. ter-rific. The dog got away at last, and when the policeman helped the bruised and battered mechanic out of the hble. he discovered a string wound rcund his leg, and attached to the end of it a tin cup which looked as if it had been through seven wars. "You can keep this as a souvenir," said the policeman pleasantly. "What is it?" asked John Wilson, taking it. "It's a tin cup belonging be-longing to some of them little devils around the corner. I guess," said the policeman, twirling his club significantly. signifi-cantly. The father of John Wilson, Jr., looked at the battered tin in his hand. In gilt letters, which he , had not forgotten, were the words: "To a Good Boy." Detroit Free Press. Save the Loved Ones! - Mrs. Mary.
