Some Wives Are Different.

"Most men," said the man of experi ence, think 1t must be nwfully nice tc have wife who takes things as cool y as Dave potter's wife takes them but others, more discriminating, prefer . good honest row to her style of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she found letter in Dave's pocket from a girl in Brooklyn Is an example of her method.
 "'I don't see,' wrote this girl, how on earth can ever live without you
 "Dave's wife read that gush and a lot more just like 1t without ever turn Ing hair
 "'Well, she said quietly. that girl b fool. If she knew you as we'll as do she would be wondering how on earth she could ever live with you'
 And that, in the opinion of the dis. cfiminating few, cuts whole lot deep sr than common. everyday rumpus. Now York Globe

Chop Suey Best of All.

"I have tried them all in their na- i've haunts, and like them," said the traveller, according to the Baltimore Sun.
 'Tried what?" asked the bystander. "Railroads
 ''No; national dishes." answered the traveller. "The hot tamale of the Mex 1can, tha goulash of the Hungarian. the chop suey of the Chink, are all known to me and many others.
 '"The best of them all is chop suey The hot tamale Is too hot and has very little nourishment to 1t, and goulash is too heavy. 1t tastes pretty good. but Il is not food to recommend to man with weak stomach. Chop suey, how. ever. Is appetizing, easily digested and very nourlshlng. It Is the great contrl button of the orient to the occldent In my opinion It is made of rice, sprout cd beans, celery and chickens blood, all mixed together in the form of soup and nicely seasoned"

GREAT COUNTRY
AGR|CU[TURALLY
WILLIAM BENSE, THE FISH MAN,
SAYS THAT ALASKA, IF GER
TAIN CONDITIONS COULD BE
OVERCOME, WOULD BE GREAT

| William Bense, the man who re-
Gently came here from Alaska and
started the KlOndike Fish Market,
has sold his business here and is
going back to the North country. In
talking to World reporter of the
agricultural possibilities of Alaska,
Mr.. Bense stated:
l do not wish to discourage those
who might wish to go to Alaska for
the purpose of farming, but frankly,
l will state that it has its drawbacks.
In the first place the soil is quite
course and the agriculturist, before
he can even begin with any prospects
of success, must run his farm through
stamp mill in order to make it
sufficiently mellow.
| This, as the reader will see, involy-
es a large expense at the very out
set.
Hauling the farm to a custom mill
would require large outlay for the
teams and would delay the farmer
two or three hundred years in get
ting his crops in, thus giving the ag-
riculturist who had pulverised
farm in Washington, Idaho or Mon
tana a great advantage over his own,
which had not yet been to the reduc-
| ton works.
We have, it is true, large area
of farming lands now lying on the
dump. but they must first be crushed
and then treated for alkali, in which
mineral our Alaska farms are very
rich
Then, again, the climate is very
erratic, eccentric and peculiar. The
altitude is between 1000 and 5000
| feet above high water mark, so that
during the winter it does not snow
much, we being above snow level, bu:
in the summer the snow clouds rise
above us, and thus the susprised and
indignant agriculturist is caught in
the middle of July day with a ter
rifle fall of snow, so that he is vir-
tually compelled to wear his snow
shoes all through his haying season.
1 am about to return to Alaska,
where l am interested in a number of
mining claims. l have received sew
eral letters asking me for informa-
| tion concerning agricultural lands In
| Alaska.
This is annoying and fatiguing.
| The snowshoes tread down the grass
ahead of him, and make his progress
laborious, besides he tangles his
feet up in the windows and falls
on his nose nine times out of pos
sible ten. Again, the early frost
makes close connection with the late
spring billiards, so that there is only
time for hurried lunch between.
aside from these little drawbacks
and the fact that nothing grows with
out continuous sunshine except white
oak clothespins and promissory notes,
drawing twenty per cent interest, the
prospect for the agriculturist in
Alaska is, indeed, gratifying in the
extreme"

HOLIDAY RECESS WILL CAUSE
LULL IN CONGRESSIONAL PRO-
CEEDINGS, BUT POLITICIANS
WILL HOLD CONFERENCES

Special to the World.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 23.-The
holiday recess will cause a lull in
the proceedings of congress during
the coming week, but as the majority
of the lawmakers have acquired the
habit of remaining in Washington
since railroad passes were abolished,
there probably will be enough gossip
going the rounds to keep the special
correspondence from growing stale.
The Cabinet-makers will be busy, i'm
portant conferences will be held and
the House committee on ways and
and means will probably continue it's
hearings.
Two murder trials that will attract
public attention began Monday. The
| first is that of Mrs. Catherine Erb
and her sister, Mrs. Beisel, who will
he tried for the alleged murder Of
Mrs. Erb's husband, Capt. ]. Clayton
! Erb, who was prominent in Phila-
/ delphia politics. The second trial
will be that of Andrew McGrath. who
shot and killed Walter E. Ammon,
/ the ''oleomargerine king" in the
Pennsylvania Railroad station in
Jersey City a short time ago.
In observance of the Christmas
holidays the stock exchanges, banks,
and other financial institutions, the
courts and majority of business es-
Establishments throughout the country
will be closed from Thursday night
until Monday morning, while the big
folke and little folks throughout the
land are in the enjoyment of the
Yuletide festivities.
On Christmas day there will as

ward. the University Of Wisconsin,
