About month ago a marriage
took place at Stroudsburg, the con-
tracing parties being Robert w.
Plotts, aged II and Mrs. Eliza
Brooks aged 60. At the time of
securing the marriage license, the
prospective bride was asked con-
corning her first spouse's decease,
she replied that it was about 1888.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Plotts
believed that her liege lord had
gone to that unknown land when
she answered "yes" to the question
of Mr.. Plotts, but now after one
month of welded bliss, her cup OF
happiness is shattered into a thou
sand fragments by the terrible
tidings that William Brooks who
married her many years ago in
merry England has turned up alive
and well. Now there's trouble in
the family.

As the storm fend was abroad In. the land

Sd, from numerical point of view, this
months club meeting could not be regarded
very successful. But few of the members
ventured to brave the cutting wind, which
drove and tossed, and whirled the fast and
thickly falling snow DER forest, field and
highway, until all the poetry of the "beauti-
full snow," was blown to the land of no
where.
Among those who were too frail to face
the mad fury of the storm were our newly
elected president and vice president, l.. l..
Bowes and f. Ii. Rush. The secretary,
Miss Bertha Shepard, was also absent.
But those who came, when gathered around
the fireside of the hospitable shome of Mr..
and Mrs. Randall, known to the Burton
Farmers Club as "Sunny Side" "efelt fully
repaid for all the trouble they had taken to
get there.
AS most of those who were appointed for

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?

Some Requirements that will be Found
Indispensable.
The universal article of diet of that coun-
try, depended upon and indispensable, is
bread or biscuit. And to make the bread
and biscuit, either in camp or upon the
trail, yeast cannot be used. it must be bak-
ing powder; and the powder manufactured
by the processes of the Royal Baking Pow
der Company, miners and prospecters have
learned, is the only one which will stand In
that peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for every
one proposing to. go to Alaska and the
Yukon country to know, for should he be
persuaded by some outttter to take one of the
cheap brands Of baking powder, it will cost
just as much to transport 1t, and then when
he opens it for use after all of his labor in
packing it over the long and difficult route,
he will find a solid caked mass or a lot of
spoiled powder, with no strength and use
less. Such mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in which
to experiment in food, or try to economize
with your stomach. For use In such a
climate, and under the trying and fatiguing
conditions of life and labor in that country,
everything must be the best and most use
full, and above all 1t is imperative that all
food supplies shall have perfect keeping
qualities. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an article
that will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have lost
great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow In these
matters than the advice of those who have
gone through similar experience. Mr.. Nc
Questen, who is called ''the father Of
Alaska" after an experience of years upon
the trail, in the camp and in the use OF
every kind of supply, says: "We Gnd In
Alaska that the Importance of proper kind
of baking powder cannot be overestimated.
A miner with can of bad baking powder
is almost helpless In Alaska. We have
tried all sorts, and have been obliged to
settle down to use nothing but the Royal.
L
1t Is stronger and carries further, but above
all things, it is the only powder that will
endure the severe climatic changes of the
arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the U. 5.
Government in its relief expeditions, and
Peary, the famous Arctic traveller, have
carried the Royal Baking Powder ex-
cusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not cake
nor lose its strength either on ship board oi
in damp climates, and is the most highly
concentrated and efficient of leaveninQ
agents. Hence it is indispensable to ever,
Alaskan outfit. 1t can be had of any OF thu
trading companies In Alaska, but should th'
miner procure his supplies before leaving
he should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the othe
brands OF baking powder, for they will
spoil and prove the cause of great disap
pointment and trouble.

We wish to say that the story that Mrs.
Lucy Waters, of Rush township, stole
pocket-bO0k from the table or desk in our
Office at the 10c feed barn a short time ago
Is entirely without foundation. She did,
however, pick a pocket book from the floor
of the sitting room, supposing it to belong
to lady in the room and offered it to her,
who said 1t was not hers. Afterwards she
did what she could to restore 1t to the own
er, and we approve of her conduct through
out and have never said any different to
any one. LAvERoCK q GERow.
