who conhdes t. her sister that when

Then comes the man and carries her
off bodut, saving her from the hands
Of two drunken McXicaus, .aG taking
her against her will as LIS reward.
Later she leaves him and comes back
East with her brother, whittier he fol-
lows her but does not let Ter know
of his presence until months later

A BODY WAS IN
 DRyGE GRAVE

London, Dec. 3O.-The body of Thomas Charles Druce, in High Gate cemetery, was exhumed this morning, just iorty-tbree years to a day after its burial The cofln was found to contain the remains Of human body, thus ex- ploding the romantic tale told by Rob- ert c. Caldwell and others, who swOre during the recent hearing of the Druce perjury case that 1t contained roll of lead.
 The official statement given out by representatives of the home office and others who were officially present at the examination, not only definitely disposes of the lead myth, but seems effectively to prove that the body buried in 1864 was actually that of T, c. Druce,
 The scene at High Gate cemetery this morning when the vault was opened was remarkable. Constables seemed to spring from everywhere; every bush and tree apparently hid an officer of the law. All the entrances to the cemetery were surrounded by cor donS of police, Only those persons who had passes from the home office were admitted to the grounds. George Hollanby Druce, who claims he is the rightlul heir to the Portland dukedom and to it's vast estate, tried twice 10 get into the cemetery, but was met with a stern refusal.

ALASKAN RECORD IN WIRELESS

The one thing more than some oth- CTS iu which interior Alaska is intec- es.ed is the development and perfection of wireless lelegraphy. The vast Ril- derness through which the wires of the present telegraph system stretch must forever render the people of the interl- or subject to loss and embarrassment through interrupted communication.
 The experiment now being made at Fairbanks aud Circle is 8 most inter- estiug one aud upon which much de. bends. Of course, 1t will be successful they will keep at it until 1t is success fuI, if not so immediately. The opera tion Of the mystery over the land and over the sea is known to be largely in favor of he latter, out the difficulties in the way of the former are coming to be understood and overcome. It is something that the station at Sitka should have talked to POiu, Loma, on the southern extremity of California, and made long distance recO on the eoss,-some,hing to stir us, of Alaska, with local pride.
 The isolation of interior Alaska, cut cG from taflc with the outside for more than half the year aud the i'm portaucs of keeping up communication tba. the full advantage may be taken of the brief open season, make 1t the pe- cu2iar field 10. the best offices of any system tha, is pot subject to the inter ference of local conditions. To be sure, Sitka to Point Loma is over the Sea but also it is a stretch vsst'y greater than any demand that the interior may make, and if Alaska can set new

Make haste to school, my little child, Or else you will be late; Your books are all aseptic nowi And here's your sterile slate. Your pencil has been boiled an hour Iris germless, now, I hope: And don't forget to wash your desk With this carbOlic soap. And lest about the schoolroom floor Some unseen microbes turk. Just sprinkle formallne around Before you set to work. You'd better put for safety's sake. Bichloride in the ink. And water that has not been boiled You must not dare to drink. Of course, when recess comes around Some food you'll want to munch; So in this disinfected box
 Is predigestcd lunch. And since 'tls said that in Q kiss Bacteria may dwell may not give you, as I'd like, A mothers fond farewell. Make haste 10 school, my little child, And leave my tender care, And may you still be safely kept From microbes in the air. -Elsie Duncan Yale in New York Life.
