of to store their old bank re,

been over 30 years in business
here, and during this time the
accumulation Of record books
and accounts has been enormous,

the pioneer settlers in the county.
Mrs Elliot was a woman of
fine, christian character, very
ardent worker in the church, and
was member of the Congre
gational church of this city. She
was able and competent to an un
usual degree, and there are MANY
who remember her with graft
tude for the kindness extended
in time of need; never too busy
to lay aside her many pressi g
duties to give hand to those in
distress, and she won the love
and esteem of all whose privilege
it was to know her.
Her devotion to her family was
beautiful in it's inspiration and
unseltishness and to the last her
thoughts We're centered upon
their happiness, both as wife and

The doctor was nonplussed, but repeated.
Il stood on a bluff
The laughter rolled into roar.
Vainly the doctor tried to complete his
sentence. Afterward he asked members of
the faculty what it meant; but they pitied
his ignorance and claimed they did not
know. Finally the doctor was told OF GER
tain elemental facts of the great American
game OF poker. The climax came when he
overheard students referring to him as "a

Glaciers of the Alaskan Coast.

It is very probable that more American travellers are familiar with the picturesque tiords and gla- ciers of Scandinavia than have viewed the incomparable scenery af- forded by the coast of their own Alaska, where the somber inlets are bounded by sheer and towering cliffs and where the great fields of slow moving snow ice lose them selves in some bay or inlet or pitch off suddenly into the ocean itself. The stream of visitors to this splen- did American scenery is aanually increasing in numbers, and t6 those who indorse the ''See America First" program Alaska offers d mag nificent field.

Names of Dances.

The position taken by the dancers gives the name to the "quadrille"- literal English for ca little square" in the French tongue. From the French we get also country dance,' which, as a matter of fact, has no reference to rural frolics. 'Contre- dansc," which has reference to the position of the couples, opposite each other, is readily corrupted into country dancc.' The ''polka'' is a Polish dance, the name being dcriv ed from the Bohemian word "pul- ka," meaning half, and refers to the half step which occurs in this meas ure. The 'waltz" is German waltzcn, meaning to revolve-thc circular motion of the couples easily explaining the connection. The 'recl" is suggestively obvious. Zig" is of course from the French glgue.

REEDER GETS A
 LIGHT SENTENCE
ing That Wife is Living in State of Adultery.

Judge Fred M. Brown today sen fenced Dan Reeder, convicted of as-
 sault with a dangerous weapon for
 shooting and mortally wounding William Rowe, to serve six months in the local jail After Reeder was sen
 fenced he asked the Court if it was possible for him to secure justice.
 He charged that his wife was living in state of adultery at Cordova and
 that he had appealed to the Mar
 shal's office and tue District Attor- ney's office to have the matter in
 vestigated but that no action had
 been taken. Judge Brown stated
 that he would order an investigation
 of the charge.
 When interviewed by representa-
 tive of the Prospector, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Brubaker said that the
 matter had been called to the Dis
 trict Attorneys office by E. E. Rit-
 chic, one of Readers attorneys, and
 that he had immediately wired the deputy marshal at. Cordova to make
 an immediate and vigorous investi-
 gation. The deputy found that a cer-
 tain man was stopping at Mrs. Reed
 CTS house, but that Mrs. Reeder
 claimed that she was in need of
 money to support herself and chill
 dren and was furnishing this man with board and room to support her self and family. The deputy report cd that he was unable to obtain evi-
 dence to disprove this claim because
 of the fact that he was we'll known to Mrs. Reeder. MT. Brubaker then took the matter up with MT. Ritchie and requested him to wire to a close friend and fellow lodgeman of Reed er's, requesting this friend to obtain, if possible, sufficient evidence to sup port the charge. MT Ritchie sent such a telegram and the same was paid for at government expense, but the appeal to Feeders friend failed to produce any result The authori- ties have made and will continue to make every effort to secure justice for all concerned

OLD ROMAN HOTELS.
Where One Could Get Tiger or Lion
 Stew, but No Credit.

Stew, but No Credit.
 The traveller who is prone to complain of sleepless nights spent in uncomfortable hotels in this country may find some solace in this account of the Roman hotels in the days of the late republic and the empire:
 Most of the hostelries and tav- erns of Rome, says Humbert de Gallier in 'Usages ct Moeurs d'Au- trefois," were situated along the Appian way. Some of them were passable. It was at one of the bet ter ones that Cicero used frequent ly to stop and write his letters.
 The most interesting hostelries, however, were near the circuses and amphitheaters. The shrewd and. generally dishonest owners had a double purpose in selecting that situation. It was well chosen for the patronage of the huge crowds that went to the circuses on holi days to see the fights between wild animals and the gladiatorial com bats, and the landlords could buy conveniently and reasonably those animals that had been slaughtered during the day, to be served on their tables.
 Thus a merrymaker might wit ness battle between a. lion and a tiger in the amphitheatcr in the aft ernoon, and if he went to nearby hotel might find parts of the same lion or tiger in his stew for dinner. 4 bears steak was considered great delicacy in Rome.
 The furnishings of the common room, which in these hotels served as dining room, parlor and taproom were severely simple. A few wood- en tables, a few wooden benches and sort of elevated throne were the only pieces of furniture. On the raised chair or throne sat the owner of the inn and watched over his guests and probably his belongings.
 A large number of the hostelries displayed upon the ceilings of their common rooms d painting repre- senting rooster. The painting bore an inscription, the spirit of which will never grow old: "When this cock crows, then we will give credit"
 That is the one link that binds the crude, uncomfortable tavern of ancient Rome to the elaborate ho tel of the present day.

A Parilous Pet,

An English major with a pen chant for entomology asserts that the hornet is ca gentle, inotfensive creature, very suitable for pet. !" This reminds one of an incident in the life of the late Lord Avebury. Travelling one day on railway train with pet wasp in his pocket, he hurriedly thrust his hand into his pocket to get his ticket, and the wasp stung him. He did not blame the wasp, however, as his hurried action had frightened the creature. Wasps have frequently become pets, but the major is said to be the first to turn the hornet into one.

A Weish Verdict,

Welsh juries were formerly ac- cused of giving their. verdict in ac- cordance with their liking for the rival counsel rather than on the merits of the case.
