ity catchers. If an outfielder goes.

ALAMEDA MAIL CLERKS
 WORK IS APPRECIATED

Postmaster Jefferson, and the citi- zens of Valdez generally, feel that they owe a vote of thanks to Robert T. Dempsey, mail clerk on the steam CT Alameda, which arrived in Valdez early this morning. When the steam CT arrived it was believed that the postoffice would be unable to distrib- ute the unusually heavy mail before noon and that citizens would have to wait until then for their letters. But MT. Dempsey had been thoughtful and on the trip had sorted the Valdez mail, putting all the letters for each firm or business house into separate bundles. When the big mail reach ed the postoffice, Postmaster Jeffer- son and his assistants soon made short work of it's distribution and the office was opened shortly after 10 o'clock.

CORRECTED HIMSELF.

The Judge Made a Mistake and Was
 Quick to Admit It.
 It was an action against an insur. ance company in civil court to re- cover the value of quartz mill that had been burned. The defendant tn- troduced the former foreman of the mill, who testified that the plaintiff had admitted to him that he had set fire to the mill in order to get the insurance money.
 The presiding judge knew the wit ness and had a very low opinion of his veracity. He also knew the plain tiff to be an honorable and upright man, wherefore he burst forth with the remark. Every ybody knows that to be lie."
 Whereupon the counsel for the in surance company sprang to his feet in a rage. "I object to the language of the court" said he. "and I demand that he be taken down and my objec- ton entered in the record"

 It is not necessary to insist on the utility of the handkerchief, for no one will contest it., but why should 1t be eternally woven in the stereotyped form of square? The square may be large. the square may be small. but why square instead of oval or oblong?
 The unfortunate young Queen Marie Antoinette is responsible for the shape of the handkerchief. >" On Jan. 2, 17S5, a royal command was issued that henceforth the regu- lated form of the handkerchief should be in the form that we are 50 accus- toned to see. Before this we are led to believe that divers forms were used -triangles, heart shaped. points of . star, etc.
 These individual conceptions did not please her majesty. She carried her complaints to the pliable Louis XVI. It was her belief that the handkerchief in the form of square was more ele- gant -,,,:4a.2
 At the above date Louis had the fol- lowing decree issued: 'The length of all handkerchiefs manufactured in the kingdom shall be equal to their breadth"
 During all the changes of govern ment in France. from the revolution to the third republic. the law passed under Louis XVI. is the only one that has been immovable. as far as things to be worn are concerned. It has de fed every change. and the rest of the Christian world has in this respect faithfully followed the wishes of Queen Marie Antoinette.-New York American.

NEBRASKA IN THE LONG AGO.
What Is Now Dry Plain Was Once
 the Bed of a Great Sea.

What ls Now a Dry Plain Was Once
 the Bed of Great Sea.
 South of Platte river, opposite North Bcnd. Neb.. the bluffs are conspicu. ous and consist of loess and glacial drift. overlying the Benton shale. This shale was formed when Nebraska was at the bottom of sea. Evidence of is found in the fossil shells of oysters and other animals that live in salt wa ter and the bones of such sea monsters as the mosasaurus.
 A comparison of these ancient condi- tions with those of the present day in dicates the slow. continuous change that is now and always has been in progress. Where the tourist now trav- els comfortably over a dry plain these monsters sported in the water of the sea long ages ago. On the shores of this ancient sea lived equally strange beasts and birds of types that have long been extinct and oyer it's water sailed great flying dragons-the ptero dactyls.
 The animals of that day were strik. ingly different from those of the pres ent. The birds. unlike any now living. had jaws armed with teeth. The mon- archs of the air then were not in fact birds but flying reptiles, whose fore limbs had been modified into wings by the enormous elongation of fingers be- tween which stretched thin membranes like the wings of bat These flying dragons, some of which had a stretch of eighteen feet. were carnivorOus. They were animated engines of de struction that somewhat forcibly sug- gest the modern war airplanes, of which they were in sense the proto- types.-Geological Survey Bulletin.

 Venice is the mecca of tourists be- cause of it's beauty and its history. It was the link connecting Rome and Athens. It felt the influence of Ara bia and of Persia.

It is saturated with romantic traditions The numerous churches. the bridges the tombs. the palace of the doges. the old library. the campanile and the Academy of the Arts are among the most attractive show places of Europe The masterpieces of those master art. ists of the sixteenth century. Titan Tintoretto. Giorgione. Bellini. Paolo veronese. Sansovino. Palladio and Da ponte. have given city undying glory.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
By MARY MARSHALL.
September l2-Mary Bateson.

Probably the most able of modern wom-
en- historians was Mary Bateson, who
was born September Il, 1855, in England.
She was one of the first to attend Newn-
ham College for women after Its estab-
lishment at Cambridge, and upon gradua-
tion became a teacher in that institu-
tion. She had early shown q remarkable
aptness for research work In history and.
following the advice of Mandell Creigh-
ton. later Bishop Of London, who told
her that the main business in her life
was to write true history" she proceed
ed to specialize In this field Of work.
In her teaching the routine of instruct
ing and educational discipline was al
whenever she had an opportunity she
laid aside the task Of teaching to devote
herself to original research In her his
torical work. She made a special study
Of the history of local monasteries. and
later the smaller towns of England,
showing q power Of concentration and
exhaustive research such as has prob.
ably never been possessed by any other
woman.
But though devoted to her work as q
student Miss Bateson was popular with
the student body at Newnham. She was
high-spirited and good-humored. frank
and innocent of academic stiffness and
pedantry. She delighted in society and
was a devotee Of open-air exercise. When
she had time she enjoyed travel music
and the theater. Next to her work as a
HISTORIAN her consuming interest in life
was the question Of the emancipation Of
women. and she threw the weight Of her
influence with the women working for
the enfranchisement Of their sex.
