Rich Americans Touched,

During her excitement over BIeriot's wonderful flight at the aviation con- tests at Rheims, Mrs. George Gould, of New York, hurried from her box to congratulate the aeroplanist, leaving her handbag on the seat upguarded. A few moments later she returned to find the bag gone. It contained money and jewelry valued at s6,OOO, including one ring, set with diamonds, given Mrs. Gould by her husband during their re- cent stay in Paris. This ring alone was worth S4,0OO. Mrs. Gould reported her loss to the police, who believed that society woman sitting in an ad- joining box took the jewels. An Amer ican, whose name was withheld by the police, also reported that he had been robbed of S5,0OO by woman.

CALLED BERNARD SHAW
 THE GREATEST SISSY

Alexander Harvey, associate editor of Current Literature, recently deliv- cred lecture before the George Ber- nard Shaw fellowship in New York City and astounded its members by making an audacious attack on Shaw, whom he described as sissy" pre- ferring vegetables to meat and being deficient in intellectual vigor.
 "George Bernard Shaw is the great est sissy of our day and generation" said Mir. Harvey, in part. "Arthur Twining Hadley, president of Yale University. is also in that class, as we'll as most of the men who make up the faculties of our colleges. and per cent. of the men they graduate.
 "There seems to be nowadays hor- TOT of anything virile; therefore it is impossible to be sissy and escape success. Shaw has attacked marriage on the principle that nothing which is, is good, and the small coin of his in- tellect rings true to the half-baked, half-educated mind. Young women dote on his grotesquely immoral screams. ."-Selected.

CAME FROM KOYUKUK
 ViA OVERLAND ROUTE

Capt. Donovan, U. s. deputy marshal of the Koyukuk district, George and Jack N1utchler, ac- companied by two natives, arrived in this city on Monday night, seven days from Arctic City via the overland route.
 Captain Donovan is called to Fairbanks as a witness before the di .trict court. He was consider ably ''tuckered" when he reached here, and when seen by The Leader man he was figuring how he was going to finish the jour- ney to Fairbanks. ...~......-.
 The Mutchler boys, who have been freighting along the Koyu- kuk river all summer, brought only two head of horses with them, having sold the greater part of their outfit prior to their departure from that district.
 They will go to Fairbanks and George may, later on, go to the IditarOd.

PETTY THIEvERY OCCURRING OFTEN

Several depredations by sneak thieves have been reported re- gently. Mrs. Cooper, of the Kentucky restaurant, last Satur. day stored her cache with the usual amount of choice cuts of
 meat to be served during Sun day. Sunday morning a number of the juiciest morsels were gone. Tuesday morning two persons were seen in the act of breakin 2 into the enclosure where Ed Y. Lee, of the Golden North res taurant. keeps his meats hang ing; but in this instance the ma rauders were frightened away without accomplishing their pur- pose. In the language of the Hot Springs Echo, ''there are others.'
 The identity of some of the petty larcenyists is pretty we'll established, and it is believed they are playing for a winters lodging in the federal jail. A course of baths in the Yukon at this season of the year might prove beneficial in these particu- lar cases of kleptomania.

1t Was Very Strange

Last Tuesday, while Jack Pinkham was preparing to launch a boat in which to carry small outfit to More lock creek, he had occasion to cross over the top of the barge of the steamer Tana. While standing on the outer edge q heavy cake of ice struck the barge and the jar sent Jack into active competition with the ice foe in five feet of water. As he scrambled to shore bystander asked him if the water was cold. He answered, in effect, that, on the contrary, it was exceed ingly hot. The questioner must have thought it very strange.
