Federal Government Says
 No More Gambling"

Juneau, April 27-Tho Juneau Dis patch says:
 "It is known that the United States Attorney General has issued orders to the proper federal authorities in Alas ks to close gambling and to keep 1t closed or resign their positions.
 "As a result of this gambling has closed at Fairbanks and other wide open towns in the interior. This week the lid will go on at Valdez, thereby clos ing every town ln Alaska where gambl- ing has been carried on. For some time there has been an intimation that such action would be taken.
 "The Daily Dispatch knows that this is authentic and that games of chance in Alaska are a thing of the past. This rigid order is said to have resulted from the many charges filed against federal judges in Alaska in which 1t was claimed that they allowed open gambling in their judicial divisions. Ia response to an inquiry by the department certain judges very plainly informed the attOr- ney general that It was not their duty to go out and secure evidence to con vict gambling. As a result the order was issued to federal authorities to close gambling and to keep it closed"

Did His Work Well.

There was a young boy in New
York who wrapped the goods in the
store, and because he wrapped them
70 nicely the customers attention was
called to the artistic manner in which
twas done. He was finally called to a
better position, and then into part
nership, and became great benefac-
tor in the city of New York. He could
give his millions afterwards because
BE began to wrap up well the goods
IN the store. Though he was paid on
y two or three dollars a week above
his board, he tied each package SO
carefully that he did it well, better
than all the other boys. He was striy-
ing to do thoroughly, striving to do
well. Hence he had the honor which
he ought to have had, and had the
inestimable satisfaction of knowing
that whatever he did, he did well.

world was confined mainly to trips
after cattle into surrounding counties

but verdant community there came
the smooth-tongued representative
of q wild west show, who hired sew
eral riders at a high salary to do a
hair raising act, the chief feature
being that they should appear to be
thrown from their horses and drag
ged by the foot.
After they had practised in a cor.
raj awhile, one of them loosened
himself, and rising from the dirt
dishevelled and dazed, inquired:
''Say mister amt this ruther dan
gerous? We might git killed.
That's all right" chirped the
shows representative cheerfully
