Sentimental JurIes.

Maitre Henri Robert, the most fa- nous advocate in criminal cases at the Paris bar, told an audience almost entirely composed of ladies that before any jury woman with some youth some looks and pretty voice has fifty chances out of a hundred of being acquitted, whereas a man would have only one. If she knows how to shed tears at the right moment she need not worry-a verdict of not guilty ii a dead certainty.-Paris Letter.

'SC0TN' ALLAN WINNER

The fourth annual All Alaska Sweep stakes race is won! The suspense which Nome has been Iaborng under for the past three days is no more! No lonaer will we sleep the sleep of unrest: per haps never again will we witness such contest of speed and endurance of man and beast as has just been finish ed. For four long days the eyes Of Nome have been glued upon bulletin boards and stop watches; her ears were keyed to concert pitch to catch the slightest rumor which might effect public opinion one way or the other, and her mouth has been ejecting the overflow of dog wisdom which the brain could not surpass. "Scotty" Allan ended it all! When he passed the re viewing stand in front of Barracks square this evening at 5:41 o'clock he won the greatest and most classic race Alaska has ever known. 1t was fifty per cent man and fifty per cent beast that is responsible for his winning Dog days" are over now--we may resume our slumbers.
