several minutes ! was surprised TO have
him press a hundred dollar bill into my
hand and say:
Just as the clocks strike noon to-day J
want you to go into the Manhattan Bank
and have this bill changed. Walk right
up to the paying teller's window and ask
for some silver and small bills. When he
hands YOU the money take your time about

"But what do | get for running errands

He refused to explain any further and

into the bank promptly on the stroke Of
twelve.
The paying teller proved to be very
susceptible man, and found no difficulty
In getting him into conversation. As
there we're few people In the bank at that
hour, he was glad enough to relieve the
monotony OF his days work by little chat
with a pretty Young woman.
Well TO make a long story short, we

REPRlMAND UNITED

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-President Wilson did not let the matter of the joking at the expense of the adminis- tration's Philippine policy induiged in hy the officers of the army and navy at the recent dinner of the society of the Caribou drop. as 1t was hoped hS some of the officers responsible for the program would be the case.
 Orders were issued today from the executive offices for the secretaries Of war and of the navy to forward 'very serious reprimands'' to the officers concerned in the arrangement of the dinner program and the jokes and playlets which lampooned the present administration.
 While there Is some soreness among the officers who will receive these rep rlmands, which will be attached to their records and may in the future crop up as bars to promotion, the soreness is carefully kept under cover and there is general feeling that the men responsible for the features of tho banquet to which exception Is taken have been let off with as mild a pun iahment as was possible considering the unmilitary conduct and the lack of respect shown the commander. in- chief of the army and navy by open criticism of the policies of his admin istrtion.
 Being bound by regulations the of- ficers concerned canot talk or make any explanation of the affair com plained of by the president so there will probably be no farther considera- ton given the matter.

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.-That all
 is not going to be smooth with the plans evolved by the secretary of the interior for the future government of the territory of Alaska is becoming ; evident. Some surprise is evinced here Uat the secretary of the interior
 SC huld propose plan for the govern
 ment of Alaska which undoubtedly
 meets with the disapproval of so many
 men who arc interested in the terri tcry and it is not thought that the new scheme will be put into effect.
 By changing from a governor ap-
 pointed by the president to board
 Of directors appointed by the president
 little advantage is seen for the terri ttry other than that while the gover- nor is occupied with administrative work the new board will confine itself simply to questions of commercial de- velopment This would probably lead to clashes between the governor and the board of directors and the Alaska legislature and would start q three- co,nered fight in which not the com. batants. but the cause of the combat. Alaska. would eventually get the worst of it.
 An official. who is opposed to any plan for the government of the terri tory which leaves the people of the country entirely out of any say in their own affairs has pointed out that In Ausctralia, which is 0 crown colony of Great Britain. and which is as sparcely settled and as undeveloped as is Alaska. the people have almsot con- p.ete powers of self-government and little interference from the mother ct untry. This young domain is pro- gressing rapidly and it's people are enthusiastic over the development of tho land in which they have made their homes and which they govern themselves. Australia is so far di- vcrced from England as regards mat. ters of government that she even maintains her own army and navy. practically makes all of her own laws efrecting internal matters of admin istration and government and yet there is no more loyal state under the Brit ish crown. This is given merely as an example of what another Angio.saxon people Is doing and 1t is not thought ttat the people of Alaska will look with favor on a government by . beard of directors composed of rank outsiders. a VI ~
 Senator Pittman said that hs would oppose Secretary Lanes plan with all the force at his command. He be. lieves that, while the proposed board ot directors would have nothing to do with the internal affairs of the or- ganizsd government of Alaska accord

 The hall Was fastounrd with strings of roses and in addition to this decor ation there was a change in the cur.

The music was the best that has heen furnished in Nome this win ter and this fact was remarked by rcarly all of the dancers
 One very pleasant feature of the entertainment was throwing the club r, oms open to the guests. This gave the men who did not desire to dance over Christmascs past. present and future.
 There were over one hundred and twenty couples on the floor and scores o' extra dancing men SO that there was at no time any lack of dancers and also the floor was not SO crowded .,> to make dancing uncomfortable.
