Prior to the sale of the Alaska Gen. ,rsl to the Alaska Northern Railway comuany. bill passed the congress eliminating the mileage tax until 1916. The Alaska Northern people maintain that their corporation acquired this as we'll as other equities from the Alaska Central: that hence the sys- tenn Is immune from the mileage tax until the ycnr 1916. The government stands on the technical point that i'm munity was granted the Alaska Cent ral Railroad company. not the Alaska Northern Railway company.

The first meeting of New Year was held yesterday afternoon with Mrs. John Putnam.
 Quite a goodly mum berw was pre- sent. The meeting assumed an informal role, the intent being to devise and discuss ways and means by which to disseminate more widely, the many truths that are incorporated in it s sphere of action, the best plan decided upon being through the printed page and through the schools. We are 10th to beleive that a man or boy will wilfully in dulge in liquor or tobacco when he has a Thus Sayeth Science" againstit, proving beyond a doubt that they are a injury to the whole system.
 The next meeting will be Jan 17 and will be entertained in the home of Mrs. c. B. Andrews. with Mrs. A. c. Hawkins as as SiStant hostess.
 It will be a great favor. we are sure, for everyone who expects to attend to phone these good women, that they may be able to arrange accordingly. We hope every member will do so, and that would mean about 125.
 Let us have big meeting as it is Mothers" day, in memory of Madam Willard, the mother of our sainted Francis.

arm around the shaking shoulders anu tried in her gentle may to sympa- thize.
 The baby slept.
 Miriam brought light refreshment, dainty sandwiches and cool, rich milk. Refreshed, the woman. now calm. soft ly whispered: If you knew what l have been you would despise me. You would not let me touch your pure, sweet baby. You have been so good, now let me go"
 But Miriam gently detained her. If it will help you to tell me your trouble, may be able to aid you" she said
 Then the woman wept again, but tenderness prevailed, and bit by bit the story of a young girl, born and brought up on a farm far from the city's whirl, lured away from home on promise Of marriage, then deserted, came. How her baby had been born in a charity hospital how she had searched and searched for her faith less lover, only to find hlm emerging from a great church with a radiant bride on his arm; how she had walked the streets nigh. and day searching for work no one would give: how req son had left her when her baby died in her arms how she was nursed back to puny health by others who had suffered. who gave her a home and certain rough but tender care; how she was led on to a life of shame because she could find no other means to earn bread, and how, sickened by the reyolting life, she had cast aside her gaudy raiment and was on her way to join her dead baby.
 Miriam felt the truth of her story; felt that she could not turn away a soul so sorely distressed.
 'I think you were more sinned against than shining, and God has brought you to me. Will you stay with me and help me care for baby? I have great need of some one who will put love into this work and per haps, after a while, my baby will comfort you as your own"
 You will take me; you will keep me; you will let me tend your baby? Oh, 1t is too much, too much!"
 q will do more, by giving you love and great trust. You can help or harm me much; if you are loyal and faithful to baby and nte you will give me surer confidence in all humanity.

Taken Literally,

The parish tea was over. and the curate stood up to say few words to the recipients before they dispersed. He spoke in eloquent terms of the i'm pecuniosity of curates in general. and then went on to say. in apparently touching tones:
 Why. even as I stand before you now l have only half shirt on my back"
 A few days later the reverend gen tleman received a parcel containing half-a-dozen new shirts, accompanied by a card bearing the name of one of his fair (though, alas, no longer young) parishioners. At the earliest opportunity he called upon the lady and thanked her for the gift, and then proceeded to ask what had prompted the kind action.
 Why" she replied, 'you told us the other night that you had only half a shirt to your back"
 True" he answered; "but the other half was in front"

but If you fan me-, T shah never dare to listen to the voice of my own soul again. It Is trial for us both!"
 When the woman lifted her bowe head there was a new light in her eyes; a rested look.
 q thought there was nothing for me to live for, no work for me to do, but I will live since you think me worthy of such trust I will prove to you that there is something true in me still. I will be faithful"
 The next spring in far away city over little mound in the churchyard white stone was placed which bore the inscription: ''In Memory of a Baby" and the tiny grave was blue with myrtle and violets.
 The woman lived all her long years with Miriam and the baby. She came to be like one of the family. respected, trusted. loved. looked up to. She tended them in sickness and in health; rejoiced in their joys, sorrow ed with their sorrows, and the next generation never knew but what she had always been,one of them.
 But never in all the days of her life did Miriam breathe to any one the woman's secret of her baby's grave.

The simplicity of the Montenegrin court is proverbial. King Nicholas and Queen Milena are both advocates Of the simple life in its literal sense. and have brought up their large fam fly on these lines. It is said that when the crown princess. a daughter of the grand duke of Mecklenberg, Strelitz and cousin of Queen Mary. first came to live at the court of her father-in-law she found it extremely difficult to accustom herself to her new surroundings. brought up as she had been in the rigid etiquette of the

IN MEMORY OF A BABY
By CARL MAYER.

It was in the late autumn, yet a summer day, when all the air was soft with a scarcely perceptible haze which gives October that pensiveness which is not sadness, and yet which tempers joy.
 Miriam sat on the porch crooning a lullaby to her baby as she gently rocked back and forth and contem. plated the quietude of the country as it lay before her in a glory of crimson and gold.
 A woman came slowly up the street and paused as she caught sight of mother and babe. A,woman. haggard. jaded. dust-stained, young in years, but with youths bloom gone from the pale cheeks and wretched eyes, fash ing suddenly with wild light as she held out her arms in application
 Miriam shrank back in her chair and held her baby closer, thinking the woman insane; but seeing her mistake, leaned forward a bit, inquir- dng If the woman was i'll or needed help.
 No, madam, not i'll, but it has been so long since I've seen a baby. You are good, you are so happy, you have not seen sin; you don't know what it is to have lost your baby and go about the world with empty arms and despairing heart My baby is gone! If you will only let me kiss your baby, let me hold it just once-l would be more fit to die"
 Intuitively, Miriam saw that this woman had suffered much; wronged her womanhood, perhaps; but suffer ed. Pity flashed tears into her eyes sin shocked her-but she could not send a fellow-creature away perhaps to death, without giving what help she could
 Hesitating but a moment she said {: Come, sit here beside me; baby is almost asleep" and rising, she laid the little bundle of warmth and fra grance in the strangers arms.
 With stifed cry the woman sank into chair while tears coursed down her wan cheeks. She wept-wept with grief nspeakable-witht that agony oi an overcharged spirit. until in the full ness of compassion Miriam put heI

Among estates managed by trust COM

BELIEVES THEY ARE HONEST.

From the Georgetown journal (Dem).
The Democrats Of the State Of Della
ware had their eyes on Dover Monday
evening and expected that the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature
would perform their duty in a manner
that would be creditable TO the party
and the State. From reports sent out
in the afternoon it was believed the
Democratic members had signed call
for a binding caucus on the Senator
ship. and that time honored custom
Of majority rule would be adhered to.
This was very gratifying to those in
the party. who for years had been Civ
ing their time and eXerting their eff
forts to build up the party and unite
the different elements into a compact
force with but the single object of
party success in view, in the belief
that party success would make for
better conditions in our county and
our State. We believe that this grati-
fcation would not have been displaced
by the disappointment and discourage
ment which followed when it was
learned that such report was prema-
lture, had wise counsel prevailed
We believe the Democratic members
/ OF the Legislature. individually. are
honest men and when left free to exer-
else their better judgment really de-
lsire TO do that which will inure to
