HES CASE
 |S SETTLED
A. w., L. & r. Company Pay for Tools Taken Inadvertently
 When Plant Was Moved

The Hes cases against the Alaska Water, Light & Telephone company in the district court were shortened today by settlement of the action for conversion of personal property. The defendant paid Mrs. Hes $100 for chattels admitted to have been talk en by inadvertencc and this was ac- cepted in full settlement.
 In the action of trespass on the Hes mining claims, E. E. Ritchie, rep. reseDting Mrs. Hes, stipulated in op. en court to waive all claim for dam ages except nominal damages, which msans one dollar if plaintiff prevails, and the action will be tried simply on the issue Of whether a trespass has been committed, and on the right of plaintiff to have the alleged tres pass declared a nuisance and abated.
 This afternoon demurrers by plain. tiff to a part of the answers filed by the defendant company in two cases is being argued. By these demurrers plaintiff seeks to have the attack of the defendant on the validity of the Hes mining claims eliminated from the case on the ground that the ques- tion is one for the land office, where the matter is now pending.

A PROCLAMATION.

i The observance of a day of thanks giving by the people of this nation has been an annual custom, having 1 it's beginning in the days of the Pill grim fathers, who thus early in the history of our country set apart a day for the giving of thanks to AL mighty God for mercies vouchsafed and blessings bestowed upon them as ! strangers in a strange land. As such it has been again recognized by the President of the United States, and, in accordance herewith. I, J. F. A. Strong, governor of the Territory of Alaska, do appoint Thursday, the twenty-seventh day of November, nineteen hundred and thirteen, a day of anksgiving.
 And I recommend that upon that day the people of Alaska do refrain as far as may be possible from labor and unite in returning thanks to the Giver Of all good things for the bless 'ngs bestowed and the favors re- ceived at His hands; for the peace that pervades the nation for the prosperity that it enjoys; for the pro- gress that the people of Alaska have made in the development of the boun- tiful resources of the territory, and for the promise which the future af- lords for the upbuilding of mighty commonwealth where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness shall be fully assured to all And while giv- ing thanks for the blessings we en- joy, let us not be unmindful of those who may be less fortunate in life and rememb that all are bound by the ties Of common brotherhood.
 Given under my hand and the Seal of Alaska, in Juneau the capital, this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hun dr d and thirteen, and of the inde- pend nee of tn United States of America, the one hundred and thirty eighth

SPEED RATHER
is DEATH

Speed is Life, was the rule OF con-
duct of the late Charles C. Gates who
died the other day, at the age of thirty
seven, in the West whittier he had gone
for the benefit of his health, says the
Columbus dispatch. Following in the
footsteps of his father, John w. Gates,
he made lavish distribution of tips,
plunged in the stock market, gained for
high stakes and made record breaking
dashes across the continent in special
trains. 1t was on one of these trips that
he coined the phrase, Speed is life"
But his phrase is not true. His own
career, ended at thirty-seven, disproves
it. He may have got out of life the
things that were to him best, but his
estimate was bad. He knew none of the
delights of an unselfsh service, and
there is yet no certainty that the world
is any better for his having been in it.
Upon the minds of those who survive
him there is being daily more deeply
impressed, not the sentence that he
gave but its opposite, Speed is death. "

The Stolen
POrtemOnnaie
She Foreave the Thief
Twice
By LILLIAN SHARPE


a young lady sat in waiting room
at railway station watching the
clock as its hands moved slowly to-
ward the time of departure Of her
train. Presently she turned to a satchel
on the seat beside her, placed it on her
lap, opened it and took out her porte
monnaie, which she laid in the place
where her satchel had been.
A young man with curly auburn hair
and brown eyes was sitting at the 9th
er end of the seat and observed that
the girl had forgotten to put her porte
monnaie back into the satchel. He
kept his eyes on her and it until sud-
denly railroad official called.
"Train for Hamptonw
The young lady started. glanced at
the clock, saw that the hands stood at
fifteen minutes before her jrain time,
remembered that trains are opened to
travellers some time before they leave
and. grasping her satchel, hurried
away. Seeing the words Ticket Of

that she had forgotten to provide her
self with a ticket and, turning aside,
took position at the end of line Of
several persons.
IF that isn't just like a womanv'
said the young man with auburn hair
to himself, and, reaching for the porte
monnaie, he put it in his pocket and
followed her, taking position next to
her in the line. When it came her turn
to purchase a ticket she asked for one
to Hampton, at the same time opening
her satchel. First there was a quick
movement of the top articles, then a
plunge of the hand down into the bag.
after this a convUsive stirring up of
everything.
"Oh. heavens. I've been robbedr'
Permit me to pay your fare" said
the young man behind her. and. taking
out his wallet. he bought Il ticket for
her and one for himself. Then they
both made room for those behind them

Not long after this. when the train
was nearing Hampton. Mr. Meriweather
thought II better that he should have
the Young lady's address; he might
meet the man who he declared had
stolen her pocketbook and II he did
1t would be essential that he communi-
cate with her. She gave him her
name, Alice Deane, and her address.
When Hampton was reached Mr.. Meri-
weather handed Miss Deane Off the
train, and they parted The next day
the former received from the latter the
amount he had expended for her ticket.
Within a week Mr.. Merlweather
wrote Miss Deane that he had seen the
man who sat beside her in the sta
ton, had shadowed him and learned
where he lived Should he have the
fellow arrested? Miss Deane replied
that If Mr.. Meriweather could induce
the thief to return a sample of ribbon
there was in the pocketbook he was
welcome to the rest Of the contents.
The next day Mr.. Meriweather rang
the dOorbell Of Miss Deane's home
and sent up his card. She came down

Is she entered the room he held out
the missing sample. She received 1t
with some surprise.
$50 the man who stole my portemon-
naie," she said, was he who sat be-
side me in the station?"
"He was"
And he was quite willing l suppose,
to give up the sample on condition that
he might keep the other things"
"Yes."
THAT was Very nice of him."
was there anything else in the
portemonnaie that you especially de-
sire"
"No; there were only the money, a
few addresses and the samples. The
addresses l know, and the other sam
pies l don't care for"
"The fellow seems quite willing to
return everything except the money.
He seems to have admired you"
"And yet he stole my portemonnaie"
"You are wrong in permitting him to
go free; you are encouraging vice"
"Do you really think so?"
81 do, indeed. / consider it my duty,
being cognizant Of his criminal act to
inform the police Of it.
"And would he have to 60 to jail"
She raised her eyes to Meriweather's
pityingly. He would have liked to
take her in his arms and confess that
he was chatting her, but that time had
not yet come.
Eyes; he would have to go to jail,
and that would surely make a criminal
of him for life"
Don't do it."
How would it do for him to come to
you, confess his crime, restore the
other articles and throw himself on
your mercy? You could tell him how
wicked he had been and picture to him
his end if he continued in crime. Then
you could forgive him, and he might
hereafter live a blameless life"
II think that would do very nicely.
It would be infinitely preferable to
sending him to Jail"
Mr.. Meriweather left after a two
hours visit, promising to propose the
plan he had suggested to the thief and
ask If he would consent to make resti-
tuition and ask forgiveness. Miss
Deane would be advised of the result.
A few days later Mr.. Meriweather

the stranger in broken voice said:

He bowed his head and waited

your last. You may have sweet
heart. and think how glad you will

The man threw off his ulster, tore
away his beard and his glasses, and
her lover stood before her.
"The confession" he said, comes
after your forgiveness, You left your
portemonnaie on the seat in the station
and picked 1t up. / did so for an ex-
cuse to make your acquaintance and

Miss Deane stood thunderstruck for
A few moments. then turned and was

struggles to be free till she recovered

THE GOVERNOR AND THE
NEW TAX LAW
[Putnam Counts Sentinel. ]

LIutudm Nounty oChtihSi'I
What Governor Mckinley, Governor
Harmon and Governor Cox tried to Sc
cure in the way OF tax reform and just
valuations of property, is now law in
Ohio. Land values may be changed
any time, The old was to appraise
every ten years and then revised to have
revaluation every four years. Formerly
the auditor could give advicean instruc-
tions to assessors and they in turn could
do as they pleased. Governor Cox says
that the taxing machinery will cost the
tax payer less money and the work done
better. He says that the tax dodger
will be hunted up and put on the tax du-
plicate. He has asked the state tax
commission to reccomend only first class
men to be appointeda as county tax agents.
He advises that the county tax agents be
some one outside the politicians. He
wants a man who is under no obligations
to any individuals, factions or special
interests. The Governor seems to be
aware that there is some prejudice against
the new law, and this fact has made
him determined to make the new law
prove its worth.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-11-14

called and handed Miss Deane the
money that had been lost with her
portemonnaie saying that the heart of
the thief was slowly softening and he
thought that If he could be taken un-
der her influence he might yet make Il
man of himself There was another
two hours chat, after which Mr.. Meri-
weather departed, intimating that he
expected the next time he came to
bring the penitent with him.
Nevertheless it required several
more calls. each lasting from two to
three hours, before the gentleman as
sured the lady that the criminal was
ready to confess his fault and ask for
giveness.
Meanwhile, as may be supposed, 9th
er matters than this proposed reforlna-
ton engaged Mr. Meriweather and
Miss Deane. In fact, one evening aft
er visit that was prolonged till mid
night Miss Deane consented that Mr..
Meriweather should so to her father to
ask for her hand. The suitor, being
an estimable gentleman and good
catch. received the required consent.
and the couple became duly engaged.
A short time after the betrothal Mr..
Meriweather announced to his fiancee
that the next evening the penitent thief
would call upon her to restore the re-
mainder of the stolen property. listen
to lecture on his dishonesty and res
celve her forgiveness. When the ap@
pointed time came round there was d.
ring at the doorbell, and man in an
