He knew that bread was lacking that
New Years eve, and there seemed no
means short of begging it,
Six years before that Harry Wood,
handsome young fellow and a skilled
mechanic, had come to Cote Blanche
He easily found work on the large
plantations in the neighborhood and
seemed to have a career of prosperity
before him when he formed an at
tachmcnt fer pretty Laure Lefebvrc,
the only daughter of the old farmer.
But when he asked the fathers con.
sent terrific storm was raised in that
household.

But Laure, being willful, spoiled
young damsel did see him and speal
to him again and refused positively tt
give him up.

abusive and from having been foolish

home was not a pleasant one. The

burst said to her daughter:
"Laure, he is getting worse anC
worse. 1 think he is going crazy. ant
you must either give up Harry OF

Taking that for a word OF consent
Laure left her fathers house on New

the customs of the creoles and

that New Years is the most
eagerly anticipated and the most i'm.
portant of their festivals.
A religious significance is attached
also to the New Years anniversary
They believe that from day dawn to
dark an angel. "range de paix," breeds
over each household, striving to de-
stroy hatred, malice and all uncharita-
bleness in the heart and to substitute
love and forgiveness. If his prompt
ings are obeyed, enemies forgiven and

mans sins are wiped off the record.

tue" to provide game. If a new dress
is possible during the year, it is GER
tain to be made up and worn then.
But IN two houses in Cote Blanche
these cheerful notes of preparation
were unheard. To look at them you
would not be likely to perceive con-
nection between the largest and most
comfortable farmhouse in Cote
Blanche, the property of rich old
Jacques Lefebvre, and the miserable
and daubed cabin which stood at the
edge of Laverne woods-a cabin with
dirt floor and unglazed windows,
home of poverty and illness, where the
father and breadwinner, a helpless in
valid, watched his pale wife and three
children with despairing eyes.

italian ROYAL Surerstit;on.

1t is believed in Italy that dire mis-
fortune will befall the present mon
arch If the chamber Of the dead king
be interfered with till at least two
generations have passed. Therefore
the room of the late King Humbert at
the Quirinal is shut, no one except
members Of the royal family being
permitted to enter 1t. Thus 1t will re-
main, silent and unused, like the apart
ment of King Victor Emmanuel, King
Humbert's father, which is just as it
was at the time Of his death, some
thirty years ago.

Benefits of the Gvroseope.

Further details regarding the elec-
trical driven gyroscope used on the
Lochiel in trips along the Scottish
coast show that when the apparatus
was out of action the vessel rolled to
angles of sixteen degrees on each side
that is, the total angle or roll was
not less than thirty-two degrees. When
the apparatus was put into action the
rolling was prevented and decreased
to total angle roll of from two to
four degrees, an amount which is
barely perceptible to a passenger

Why They Want Old Bibles.

An extraordinary demand has arisen
I'm the eastern counties of England for
secondhand Bibles-the older and dir.
tier the better. Copies which former

bought for half crown. They are

Digging Drains
 on South Side

Several ditches have been dug by the residents of the South Side this week to drain the water from the flats back of the city in the spring.
 A number of the citizens at the lower end combined and put in deep ditch that runs past John Sentoni's cabin and strikes a small draw that leads to the slough. Deputy Marshal Drake has also put in ditch adjioning his new residence.
 There is small elevation that fol- lows the slough on this side that is several feet higher than the ground farther back, and in the spring the water covers this flat until the ground is sufficiently thawed to let it filter through. This standing water will now be avoided by these ditches which will allow the water to 6rain off as rapidly as the snow melts.

Extensive Repairs
 at Telegraph Office

The boys at the telegraph office are very busy this week drawing plans and making acquisitions for extensive repairs and furnishings to their quart CTS in this city.
 The government has recognized the growing importance of this station and is willing to give the. operators all the comforts that can be derived from a pleasant home: The entire building will be lined with canvas, the floors covered with lin eleum and the office proper will be fitted up with furniture, cabinets, etc. so necessary for an office transacting much business. When the repairs are completed this will be one of the most comfortable and convenient posts in Alaska.
 In interior Alaska Hot Springs sta- tion ranks second only to Fairbanks, as to the number of commercial messages handled. Last month over 800 mes sages were paid for at this office, and Sergeant Kain says the number is | growing larger each succeeding month.
 The force at the. office consists of Sergeant w. J. Kain, Howard Yergin and Chas. Cavanaugh. Mir. Cavanaugh is a recent arrival at this office having | been transferred here from Glen last week, succeeding J. I. Hallford, who goes to Glen.
 Sergeant Kain, who has been in the Signal Corps less than year and is already first class sergeant, is in charge of the office and is we'll liked by all the people of the city, more par ticularly for the splendid service that | is rendered all who have business deal ings with the office.
 The telegraph office is situated or the eighty acre military reserve which
 borders the south side of the slough on the east end of the city. The site is a pretty one and the signal corps men
 who are located here are to be consid
 cred fortunate.
