Slips Of the tongue are to be put
down to bad luck as much, perhaps, az
to poor elocution. A young man who

result was out one commission. He
stood in the front hall, explaining to

NOTHING LEFT OF THE ROMANCE
Explanation That Brought Castle to
the Ground.

If Miss Jones hadn't had a keen
sense of humor she might have cried.
But she is now happily married and
the incident is one of the jokes she
likes to tell.
Miss Jones was stenographer then.
On the same car every morning there
came downtown young man. Maybe
he was on the same car by accident
and maybe, again, there was method
in his car rides. But, anyhow, if
there was method he couldn't have
stared at Miss Jones any harder than
he did every day for three months. for
he always managed to get a seat in
the car opposite her.
He was good-looking young man
and very likeable, even if you just
looked at him. And so Miss Jones,
knowing not even his name, fell in
love with him.
But
One day he entered the car and
took seat next to Miss Jones. For
Is minutes they rode on in silence.
Suddenly he blurted out: "Say, do
you know why 1 always stare at you?"
mo; have you been staring at me?"
asked Miss Jones, naively.
Eyes" he answered. II did it be-
cause you look so much like the girl
1 am engaged to marry"
Thus ended the romance.

THE OIL SUIT NEARLY ENDED
Is GREATEST CIVIL ACTION EVER
BROUGHT IN THIS COUNTRY.
Record in Governments Suit to Dis.
solve the Standard Already
Makes % Volumes.

New York, Jan. 16.-With the
examination of w. w. Pinkington
in charge of the records Of the
Standard Oil Company's pie lines,
On matters relating to the shipping
of Lima, Ind, and Oklahoma oil, the
governments suit for dissolution of
the Standard Oil company came to
close here Friday. There are still two
or three witnesses to be beard in re-
buttal, but these will be examined in
Chicago Tuesday, an adjournment till
then having been taken for the pur-
pose at the conclusion of Fridays
hearing.
The case, which Friday practically
ended 50 far as the submission of evil
dence is concerned, will undoubtedly
go down in legal history as the great
est civil action ever brought before
the tribunals of the country. The
record already comprises % printed
volumes and represents cost to the
1itigants of nearly $10,000,000. The
fling of briefs by counsel will add
another million or so words to the
mony and court records. Arguments
of both sides next April before the
full bench of the United States circuit
court sitting in St. Louis, will further
enlarge the record, and as the case is
10 be taken to the supreme court o.
the United States, no matter what the
decision of the circuit court, the final
bulk of the record in the case pronis
es to be appalling.
In all, 1872 witnesses were called by
the government and 140 by the de-
Tense. The record Of the testimony
proper totals up 100000 words. The
exhibits, consisting of over 1880
groups of words and figures adds an
other 100000 words. The printing
Office at Washington has been kept
busy night and day for months com
pleting the record which, whom bound.
will make % printed volumes.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-06-17
AN ACCOMMODATING OFFICER

The Alaska. Steamship Co.,, is indeed to be congratulated on the officers they have in command of the vessels they have running in these waters, as the following shows:
 On the last trip north of the Dolphin, F. M9theson and wife were passengers to Juneau. MT. Matheson hnishedhis business there and made arrangements with Ike Sowerby, the agent of the Alaska Steamship Co. there, to have the Dolphin call in here on the. wag back so that he could get back 10 his business as soon as possible, volunteering to pay dou ble fare to have that done. The vessel ar rived at Juneau between three and tour in the morning, and the Hathesons went down to board her for home. They were met by the captain who informed them that notwithstanding the fact that the agent had agreed to have the yes- sel call at Wrangell he absolutely refused to do so, and they were compelled to wait over for the Humboldt,
 It is supposed that the Alaska Steamship Co. know how to con- duct their own business, but they certainly have a peculiar way of doing it, when they allow their captains to disregard the promises, of their agents, and discredit the latter in the eyes of the people ot the community in which they dc business.
 Ii is a certainty that the Alaska Steamship Co. has gotten more out of the people of this town than the town has ever gotten out of the company, and the probabilities are that the town will continue 10 ex- ist whether the vessels of the com- pany honor us with their calls OF not, but the fact remains that the town and the people here are en: titled to better treatment and

should never rest until they have compelled the company tQ treat the town fairly,
