President Tatt. in sending In to the -enate tA, name of Frederick F.. Full ter. oI Nome. for the judgesAip of the Fourth judicial division. paid another compliment to Nome. in having able Jaf.sts in it's midst
 The other divisions Of Alaska are inclined to be very envious Of Nome owing to the number of officials ap- pointed rom tAls division 10 repre- sent the government in its various de- partueuts. Nome has been hOnored time and again by Uncle sam select ing from among its citizens officials tu na the vacancies occurring from rlmc 10 time throughout the territory
 The Nugget is of the opinion that a more popular appointment was never made In Alaska. and the Fourth judi cial division is to be congratulated inI the selection Of cx-Uuited States Com missioner Frederick F.. Fuller. to pre- side over the federal court in thatl section Of the country. II may be al little galIing at first. to have NomeI supply the judge for their division | for such is a natural feeling under thc conditions. but as time goes on and The citizens Of Fairbanks are given a chance 10 see results and become Letter acquainted with their newlyl appointed judge. they too. will realize they have much cause for congratula- tious. in the appointment of Frederick F. Fuller
 In recalling the names of govern ment officials now holding office throughout the territory. and all mak ing good. their flashes Into one'sl memory such as Judge c. D. Murane Judge r. D. Overfield. District Attor- ney John Rustard. Marshal Harvey P. Sullivan and Deputies J. H. Rouse andl George R. Goshaw. With such an ar ray it is little wonder Nome feels proud of It's record. and without be ing the least bit egotlstical we are prepared to state. there are others inl our midst capable of making efflclentl officers.
 In the selection of Mir Fuller, wei have brought home 10 us the old say ing. There's room for you and need of you" We are also confronted with the fact that no able bodied man with an average amount of gray mat ter can be kept back. even 1T of a | retiring disposition. for with strength and vitality and honor. success ia mere matter of ambition anl pthsor. all one should do Is to pick the pace and place. then remain stcadfast even if at times the speed Indicator moves so slowly it appears to be out of gear

 Frederick Fuller Is to be congrat- plated in so much that the office hunted him out. and the officials chose him from among the many can didates for the honor. Alaska Is tc be congratulated. In the sign that the days of the carpet bagger" are over Nome is to be congratulated In the honor again bestowed upon the city in the selection of one of It's citizens to this exalted position. and Fair banks Is to be congratulated in hav- ing such an able jurist appointed to look after the legal affairs of their division, and We expect before many months have passed after F.

sHAcKLEFoRD RESIGNS.

Louis ShacklefOrd has resigned and in SO doing We can state. it may have come too late 10 secure the de sired results In the coming campaign; but the fruits of this resignation should rebound to the benefit of tn, territory in the future.
 The Nugget took the position Shack. iefOrd should not be reappOinted na- tioual committeeman long before the territorial convention at Cordova last March. and wired the different papers for an expression upon that subject and the popualr opinion expressed was he should step down and out If tho party hoped to achieve success
 With all due resect to Louis Shack leford. as an able corporation lawyer yet we can state the failure of the republican party in more ways than one can be attributed tO this so-call- ed politician. He made enemies right and left. forced upon the territory of hciais without consulting those vitalS interested. Rode rough shod over the heads Of every body in Alaska. assum- ing he was the Alpha and Omega in all things political. feeling he had guarantee of safety in the power oi the corporations he represented.
 IL k a true saying in Alaska Show me town where Shackleford has been and I will find you several enc mics of a political nature he has made" Shackleford was in Nome bu, a short time. but long enough to mak, his usual coterie of enemies among the political leaders. and with th, masses his name was even more pro ductive Of anger than |. the waving of red flag in a mad buds face.
 During the past year Loui ShacklefOrd has hamper-u the work Of our governor. by his me.hod If but ting in" failure to allow appointments to be confirmed. and we are led to believe many times out of pure GUS sedness just to show his authority | and power as the national commit | teeman from the territory.
 In the resignation of Shackleford | both the territory and the republican party have much cause for rejoicing and the only regret on the part of the Nugget Is. the same was not sent in | four years ago, and that he Chicago | convention renominated him national committeeman.
 Better late than never. is true but trite saying. and many believe itI may prove a little late in this par ticular case. but in his removal one of the worst checks in the wheels Of progress in Alaska has been removed | and We can expect to see the terri | tory forge ahead from now on minus the great amount of friction expert i enced in the past.
 Governor Clark has also cause for rejoicing. for he has been greatly . handicapped fin his good work of try ing to help secure efficient men and officials to help exploit our vast do main. by this same Shackleford. and no person ever questioned the sin cerity of Walter F. Clark. in trying to further the interest of Alaska.

Beneath each Old Testament in the prin ed
book IS verse III the medieval style, known as

bottom of the page is another eonine explain
ing the central design.
Two Latin editions of this book are known. The
more ancient presents set of forty wOodcuts printed
generally by pictures side of the paper only,

more recent and of which copy only is known,
preserved formerly in the library of Wolfenbuttel, but
now in Paris consists of fifty plates by another en-
gTaver.
The probable period when the Poor Mans Bible"

inferred both from the form of the leOnne verse IN
the Latin edition and from the authorizations used iii
the text This rhymed Latin poetry was most fire.

fifteenth centuries 1t not used before or after
those periods The authorizations likewise seldom
employed in manuscripts before the ninth century, but
became more and more frequent down to the inven
ton of printing.
The original manuscript of the Poor Mans Bible"
may thus be traced to the twelfth thirteenth

while the costumes Of the block book announce a
recent period This merely indicates that the wood

After the restorers had removed a layer Of paint
and plaster from the church walls they found a series
or frescoes occupying the south, and north walls
or the nave. Scholars have decided that these

This Bible consisted of q series Of pictures
illustrating the life of Christ with parallel scenes from
the Old Testament accompanying each and de-

copy of the original manuscript form exists but from
many references to 1t by medieval writer's 1t is
