MA CAN'T VOTE.

Mas a graduate of college, and she's
read most every thing;
She can talk in French and German,
she can paint and she can sing
Beautiful, She's like a picture! when
she talks she makes you think l
OF the sweetest kind of music, and
she doesn't smoke or drink:
Oh I can't begin to tell you all the
poems she can quote;
She knows more than half the law
yers do, but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters ma
must always linger near
TO assist him in his spelling and to
make his meaning clear
If he needs advice her judgment he
admits is always: best;
Every day she gives him pointers,
mostly at his own request;
She keeps track of legislation and is
. taxed on bonds and stocks,
Bue she never gets look in at the
(. sacred ballot box.
Once when Mr.. Jones was calling,
they got up short debate
That was on the tariff question:; he
supposed he had it straight,
But before they's finished talking he
threw up his hands and said
That he'd not read much-about it,
1. nor remembered what he'd read
He's too badly rushed to study how
to better human lives,
Still he looms up like a giant when
election time arrives.
Mrs. Gookins does our washing, for
she has to help along,
Taking care of her six children, tho
her husbands big and strong;
When he gets a job he only holds
it till he draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for whisky
or else CANDLES it away;
I suppose his brains no bigger than
he brain of any goat,
And he'd trade his ballot for a drink
but ma can't vote.

BUBBLE
BURSTS

The city has appointed fifty extra
policemen to handle the situation.
Governor Hogg all ready to call the
troops at the first sign of rioting
All railroad property has been at
tached by creditors. The feeling is
general that the Reynolds bank will
be able in a short time to meet its
obligations with no loss to depositors.
If its obligations are not met it will
)entail a terrible financial hardship to
local merchants.
To the people of Valdez suspension
of work on the railroad is far more
serious that the failure of the bank
They have subscribed literally to-
ward the construction of the road,
which now appears to be involved in
a seemingly interminable litigation.
Reynolds sold stocks in the road
throughout the East, it is said, even
to bellboys and working girls
Reynolds formed many companies
and corporations, each with a fabu
lous capitalization largely on paper.
The character of the campaign plan
ned by Reynolds and begun by him
in a whirlwind performance of about
three weeks before he reached Seattle
may be indicated by excerpts from
news matter printed in his paper
THE Daily Prospector of Valdez. ;"
In recent issue of that paper Rey-
nolds gives the following statement
of his enterprises:
Many have expressed the belief
that Reynolds was merely the agent
of Wall street in this, but such is not
the case. Realizing that the funds
that must pay for things must come
from the public, he is backed solely
by the people. who trust him implicit
! ly. Probably it will be surprise
to many to know how comprehensive
and far-reaching the Reynolds system
has grown in the past few years. The
foundation of the whole structure Is
the Reynolds Alaska Development

$4,000, 900. This stock is selling al

A CAPITOL WITHOUT CRAFT.

Parliament house. Edinburgh. in Scotland. in which the convention of Royal Burghs Is now sitting. is one of the cheapest houses of parliament ever built. Begun in the middle Of the seventeenth century. it took nearly ten years to construct. at a cost of under
 e12.000. For seventy years. up till 17O7. the Scottish parliament made the building its meeting place. In that year came the "end O the auld sang" and the Scots parliament handed over its rights to the court of session. which has since administered justice within its walls. It is fitting that in the bi- centenary years of the union the i'm memorial convention of Royal Burghs should meet within the historic walls. Vastly different. however. is the bviid- ing in it's modern character Of a court Of justice from the old talking shop" Practically the only part that has re- mained unaltered is the great hall. with it's statues. it's portraits and its costly stained glass windows.

This will fur They increase the demand for opera Jors and should railway men believe. bring a large number of women tele- graphers into the field.
 A western railroad official. who has himself cone up from the ranks Of telegraph operators. said today:
 'T am surprise that the progressive and independent young women of the country have not already taken up 5elegraphy more seriously. The work is light. the hours reasonable. and wo- men are peculiarly adapted for this oc- cupation. The woman operator is faithful. circumspect. bright and eX- act From the railroad managers point of view, the only objection to her Is that after acquiring experience and reaching a good position she gets married nine cases out of ten.
 eThe opportunity for women to en- ter the telegraph service of the rail- roads and secure pleasant employment $ evidenced by the fact that at least 10000 competent operators could now find positions in the south and west at good wages. When the nine-hOur law goes into effect it is bound largely 10 increase the demand for this class of employees. for even under present conditions it is hard to get all the competent operators needed.
