next summer.
| Would There is a good story
Punish being told about little
Mr. Bruce girl on Garden Island.
who attends the Presby-
terrain Sunday school. Once in a
while she uses slang words that do
not appeal to her mothers ideas of
propriety. and being unable to MAKE
the little girl realize her error in
any other way. the mother finally
said to her:
What do you think Mr. Bruce,
the pastor, would say if he heard
you using such language
For a few moments the little miss
mediated, and finally turning to her
mother she said:
IF Mr.. Bruce don't like the words

| Brown II it We're not for tele-
Locates graph lines these days.
/ WINNER many families would be
separated indefinitely as
result of the carelessness on the
part of husbands sometimes about
writing letters. This occurred 20
me few days ago, when a notice
appeared in the morning paper
about a Mrs. Lee S. WINNER of Sc
attic wanting information concern
ing her husband, from whom she
had not heard for some time.
| Mr.. WINNER was found the very
day the notice appeared in the paper
but it was not through the efforts
of the newspaper that he was To-
Gated, and neither of the daily pa
pers seems to know that he has
been located 1t was Mr. Brown,
commonly known as Waterfront
Brown, who found Mr. WINNER. and
told him that his wife was trying
to locate him. Mr.. WINNER was
prompt about telegraphing to his
wife to let her know that he was
not really lost, but just careless
about writing to her.
II somebody is in trouble, if
horse is being abused or If anything
else Of humane nature needs at
tention, call Mr.. Browns attention
to it. for he can be relied upon for
good work In such cases, and think
he should have credit for his efforts
to do good.
Courthouse Although both houses

Promised ing to complete import
ant legislation in order
to adjourn for summer vacation,
it seems that they both have enough
interest in Fairbanks to give us
some attention. Early in the week.
Mayor Smith received telegram
from Delegate Wickersham, in which
the latter announced that commit
tees of both houses of congress had
approved bill approprlatins $4,000
for the purchase Of the remainder of
the courthouse block
After bills Of that nature have
succeeded In getting past the COM
mittees safely, they are almost sure
to go through without any trouble.
Thus it seems that a site for large
courthouse will soon be owned by
the government in this city There
is another bill before congress pro-
viding fer an appropriation of $780,
900 for the construction of court
house building in this city.
II congress will pass the appro-
priations for both the site and the
building, it seems that it will in
crease the desirabilty on the part
of the government to make Fair
banks an important terminus of its
new railroad.

suit of what he had heard of the
local properties, and as he was max
