Mrs. Smith and Miss Brown were

In fact, Mise Brown was constant
visitor at tbs house OF Mrs. Smith.
She was staying with her as a guest
one bitter cold frosty morning, and
the two were going for a walk.
Miss Brown, ready first, stood warm

Presently Mrs. Smith entered the

She viciously picked up the shoes
from the fender, and left the room,
tossing her head.
Then Il dawned upon Miss Brown
that she had made an awful blunder,

THE ALASKA FORUM.

The Alaska Forum for the past two issues has made its appearance printed on some kind of copying machine. This has been necessi. tated by the fact that a writ of replevin was issued and the plant on which the Forum was printed turned over to Crockett and Hedger. on behalf of St. Andrews Mission, to which the plant belonged. Ed itor J. B. Wingate of the Forum contended that under a contract with the Mission people he was en- titled to hold the printing plant a considerable time longer, and was prepared to make a release bond pending the trial of the case, but the bond was refused on the techni- cal ground that he had not given sufficient notice. The trial is fixed to come up before Commissioner Green on August 5.
 MT. Wingate is absent at Fair banks. ( B. Allen is his attorney. Asked if he had any statement to make for publication, MT. Allen answered that he had not.
 It is understood. however, that MT. Wingate has printing material ordered; and when it arrives the public will doubtless he appraised of the fact.
