Chicago, ILL.,. Jan. 24.-JOhn G. Brady,
governor of the district of Alaska. has
lust sent to Miss Florence King OF
Chicago n roll of parchment which
makes her commissioner of deeds for
Alnska. She is the first woman to be
apDojnted or to hold office in the dis
trlct.
The duties of the position include the
filing of mining claims as well as the
registration of deeds.

Just about this inlet that she proposes

cries have been made rs those on the
Yukon in the KlOndike country the
mildness of the climate permits the
working of the mines nearly all of thc

Move to use the Funds to Build Good
Roads.
Washington, Jan. 24.-General Roy
Stone. special agent of the Department
Of Agriculture in charge of the good
roads" movement, says that the nmend-
ment proposed by Representative
Stone of Pennsylvania to the postal
savings bank bill will be the chief
topic for discussion mt the next meet
ing of the national league for good
roads. and that the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen also proposes to make
an energetic crusade In favor of Its
adoption. This amendment proposes
that the deposits In postal savings
banks shall be invested In county
bonds issued for meeting the expenses
of highway improvements and guaran-
teed by the government. General Stone
says lie is receiving letters from all
parts of the country and from many
organizations expressing their approv-
nj of this proposition not only because
IL insures good roads. but will keep the
money deposited in the postal savings
banks In the country districts and eX-
pend It for the benefit of the deposit
Ors.
1.-THE greatest objection that has been
raised to postal savings banks" said
General Stone. ''is that 1t will be like
ly to drain the country districts OF
money for investment In government
bonds and other securities that will lie
idle and bring no apparent benefit to
the people. But nearly every man l
have heard from who has raised this
objection admits that the investment
of the money in the Improvement of
the highways of the country will satis-
fy the opposition and strengthen public
sentiment In favor OF the bill.
THE postmaster general objected mt
first" said General Stone, "because lie
thought 1t was Populism. but since lie
has made an investigation he has
changed his mind and now gives the
proposition his Endorsement. The men,
bcrs of the Republican National COM
mittee have also taken nn interest In
the matter and will encourage 1t as II
political issue. l believe that great
deal more money would he brought into
the postal savings banks II the depos-
itors realized that 1t is going to be In
, vested In their own locality to improve
their property and condition"
General Stone Will go before the
postoflicc committee when the bill IL
taken up and make m argument In

Origin and Method of . Very Useful Form
Of Charitable Work.
Kitchen gardening Is q form of prac-
tical kindergarten work which has at-
tracted great interest among workers
among the poor In our large cities. In
Denver, under the guidance of the PHI
lanthropic department of the Woman's
club, school for Domestic Science has
been established. where not only in
struction in kitchen gardening is
taught to many poor children, but
adults are trained in the work so that
they may introduce 1t in other towns
md cities. At the state conference of
charities and corrections. held in Colo
RADIO Springs recently, Miss Isabel Hill
of Denver read paper explaining the
work OF kitchen gardening which
aroused great interest, and she is
now receiving many inquiries from va
rlous portions of the state relative to
the cost Of introducing the work and
the practical results obtained.
Miss Emily Huntington originated
the work In Wilson mission, New York
city, about twenty years ago. 1t has
been developed until now n course of
study hns been arranged covering n
period Of six months, and the work has
been established in many cities and
towns Of the United States, in England.

The Value of Happiness.

l believe 1t is Mr.. Stevenson who
says that the duty of being happy is
