a sigh and one could detect a ring of
anxiety in it-anXiety mingled with
Impotence, for between her and the
trees was high fence consisting of
five lines of barbed wire, and, reck-
less and Venturesome as she was, she
was not quite ready to sacrifice hands
and dress in a perhaps futile attempt
to reach the forbidden fruit.
Still, she must have those cher
ries; and with feminine sense of
ownership and justice. she intended
to help herself to the fruit. Besides,
her long stroll had made her hungry.

Amy looked up with start. With

He broke off large branch weighted

it to her o-er the fence. As he raised
his hat to acknowledge her thanks

The mere fact that the way was

liver is torpid or inactive.
The quickest and surest remedy yet
found for the cure of liver trouble or any

ally. A bottle Of this great liver remedy

I am so tired of these one-sided trades, whereby these blooming American maids. loaded with wealth that their fathers amassed. marry cheap princes oi poverty vast. Alas for the dam sel that marries a lord! Dukes are so cheap that they sell by the cord. l am so tired of the mills of divorce. tired of the evidence sordid and coarse; marriage Is now, in the eyes oi the law. less of bond than a letter of straw.

When Henry shattuck of Juneau

When Henry Shattuck of Juneau was appointed clerk of the court for the First division of Alaska on June ist by Judge Thomas Lyons. The AL askan had no criticism to make of the appointment. Shattuck had al ways been satellite of the Kinzie- Hoggatt.ShackeRord-Summers crowd but personally his record had been free from any suspicion of dishonesty.
 But Henry Shattuck has shown Sy overt acts, such as granting the con tract for the printing of the court cal endar to the gang organ without cal bng for bids and by aiding and abett- ing o'Brien in his cowardly and thug gish attack on Editor Russell, that he Is merely tool and a puppet of the Juneau hierarchy.
 When Thomas Lyons was in this town on his way to Fairbanks, he gave an interview to The Alaskan in which he emphatically declared that he would favor no person or party, that he intended to make record for honesty and fair play and wished to be judged on that record alone.' So far Judge Lyons personally has done nothing to warrant criticism. If. however, he desires the support of the people of the First division he win do we'll to keep his skirts clear of Kinzie, Summers, ct al.
 Shattuck has succeeded in becom' ing deeply involved in the nasty i'm broglio at Juneau-ln fact his high handed action in granting contract as reward for political fayors cause the entire trouble. If Judge Lyons Is sincere in his wish to be judged by his record he should remove HenE Shattuck. Shattuck has plainly shown that he doesn't intend to play fair ball. co. =..a=
