Women and Exercise.

Most women, whether they be fieshy
or thin, walk far too little. The WON
an who tends to be fieshy should walk
for at least an hour every day, and
do it regularly and systematically. AS
she gets accustomed to the exercise
she should increase the number Of
miles she walks a day until she is do

olg-souled, blunt, Napoleonic officer,
the seigneur; of the gray, red-roofed
castle, with its four round towers; of
handsome silent Pietro, and of the
unfailing long kindness Of them all.
Then, his voice lowered, holding the
girls hand still, he told her of Alike,
OF the fairy child who had met him on
that day of his first visit and had
brought him to her father, the seig-

quisitely girl. He told of the long
summer vacations of the three as they
grew up, and the rides in the Jura val
ley. and of that last ride when he knew
that he was to go to Italy next morn
ing, and of how he had faced the seig-
neur and told him that he loved his
daughter and had given her up then,
instantly, for loyalty to him and to
Pletro. And then he told her of the
peasant boy in Riders Hollow in the
gray morning light after the night of
his escape-and how, by hand on the
bride and seat in the saddle, and at
last by the long curl of the black lash

Lucy Hampton, listening, was so
thrilled with this romance of a life
long love that she could silence her
aching heart and her aching pride and

characters in fiction, November
Joe, we'll deserves to take his
place in the hall of fame along
side his more famous prototype,
Sherlock Holmes. In the woods
Sherlock Holmes no doubt would
have been of little value in ferret

craft was NOT in his line. In the
city, too, November Joe would
not have compared in merit of
achievement with Holmes, but in
the woods every leaf and fwig,

has been in contact with human

MOST COMPLETE ALASKA
 HISTORY IN EXISTENCE

Ashmuu Brown, in a special 10 the Seattle POst-Intelligencer, says that some day in the dim and distant future when 8 student in tbe University of Alaska is re 7uired to write thesis on the early history Of Alaska all he will have to do will be to step across the campus into the Wick ershau historical library to ob- tain all the source material neces- sary.
 Perhaps Delegate James Wick ersham has this possible student, possible university and possible library in miud-he does not say but for whatever reason he ts building up the best and most complete Alaska historical col lection that has ever been brought together. It is altogether prob able that no such thorough work on these lines ever before was done for a western state bor ter ritory. Certainly 1t was not done for Washington.
 The collection began with every government document on Alaska ever printed. Some 2,00o titles under this class were brought together, bound uni formIy and properly indeXed. The services of an expert librar- ian of long experience in the library of congress were secured to help in this.
 Then loId book stores in Wash ington, New York, Chicago and other cities were ransacked for books and publications treating of Alaska. Hundreds of these were brought together. Delegate wickersham had agents in Eu- rope also hunt up Alaska material. From Russia he not long ago re-

wTCKERsHAArs PLATFORM
From tue Iditarod PiOneer:-

From the Iditarod PiOneer:-
 The Juneau Empire says that while the platform upon which Del egats Wjckersham has announced that he will make his fourth cam paigu is good as far as it goes, it does not measure up to the require ments of the situation" and in inmates that it should have con taIued a pronOuncement in favor of a full territorial form of govern meut for Alaska. As this is the only objection raised to the plat form of the delegate, it is presum- ed that the other blanks are satts- factory.
 Delegate Wickersham has given no iuttmatiou as to whether or not he is in favor of a full territorial government for Alaska, with all the privileges and obligations eutailed i that form of government. but we presume he views the project in the same light as do others of our citizens who have devoted any thought to the subject. In the first place. it is not likely that con- gress will be induced to grant greater measure of selt-goyernment over so large a territory to the small number of inhabitants now located here. and if there were any possibility of such acton being taken. there are many reasons why the inhabitants of the territory should object. With all due respect 60 the statement made by the present governor of the territory that "-he present territorial government is a deIusiou and a snare" it has not been pointed out as yet how eN- tension of it's powers and liabjlt- tieswould help matters. There seems to be no overwhelming de maud. for instance, that the people of this territory shall take up the burden Of the administration of jus tice over this territory, with new system of judicial and Teace officers. Granting that the present system is unsatisfactory, it is not obvious where it could be remedied by an increase of obligations and conse- quent increased taxation on the com paratiyely few inhabitants.
 If the above objection is the only Oro that can be urged against the platform of the delegate why not give it uugrudging iudOrsement?

These publications are more than a century old, but are perfectly preserved.

INVESTED IN NORTH
OCALA REAL ESTATE

Mr.. W. J. Frink Of Levon has

old home of DIR. Alfred in the north
ern part of Ocala, on Magnolia street.
The property is located and COM
prises the entire block Immediately
north of the Alfred hotel, now call

large and we'll built residence on the
property and there remains enough
vacant room to build about three
houses on the east side and four on
the west side of the block. This Mr.
Frink proposes to do at an early
date. The houses. will be well made,
comfortable homes for families, for
which there is an active demand in
the northern part of town, which is
growing and building up very rapid
ly. This is good property and Mr..
Frink has made a wise investment.
