Iris the kiss. that she dare not give
 me-
 There are foolish ~naaidens and there. are wise ones x The foolish maid be- lieves all the fairy stories concernlng love which the jolly, handsome young man who calls upon her tell her. There is class of young men who make love without intentions: They are not sim eere,, nor do they spend much thought of how the girl may consider their so- called devotion.
 Such young men have not brains enough to win the average girl by earnest, manly, conversation powers. They resort to pleading for kisses, to awaken her tenderness and win her heart. Whatever liking they have for the girl, is sure to die out if the maid en does not srepulse their. enrontery- The girls whom such men kiss With out being betrothed to they make up their minds they will never lead to the. altar
 Love is a curious problem. Even wFile free lance is most ardently pleading for kisses he is hoping down in his heart that the girl will have nodesty and self-Wil1 enough to refuse. Men know that kisses do not awaken love. They are more apt to disillusionize the man at least. Men sigh for the lips far beyond their reach. The girl who grants such caresses is no longer a queen on a pe0eSldI TOT n1H1 tO try u plead for ~
 After kisses have been exchanged. when there is no proposal of marriage, like bee that has slipped the sweets of the flower he is ready to fit away to new scenes and prettter girls. She has no hold upon flim;. he has not asked papa or mamma if he may pay court to her or for her heart and hand She therefore cannot say him nay if he breaks off without ado. He can even dirt with others and she has not the right to call him to ac- count for it..
 The kisses they have. exchanged have not given her a hold upon him. On the contrary, she has lost the admira- tion he first entertained for her. The arguments to offset this reasoning of mine in my warning to girls They know if there were no kissing fewer girls would be tlured along the down. ward path. sst E
 The kiss should always mean mar riage to follow. For it should be given only as. a sacred, solemn, sane -tionl of. betrothaL It means much to the right kind. of lovers The man loves and respects her. He is too fearful of losing her to ask a. repe- tition of the kiss until it is given at thes altar No matter hom plain girl may be if her lips are chaste' from kissing she can have her, pick ned never fear that she will not. be a wife. Allowing kissing is the best way in the world for a girl to lose a good lover. After they have lost in this way they will be sadder, but wiser.

PRINCES OF LIPPE.

z@ Although. theA German principality of Efppe4 has an area of only 475 square miles and a population of but 150,eO0, it's princely family has suffer ed more than any other ruling family of the empire in the loss of it's sons in the war. In the first month of the conflict the reigning Prince of Lppe was notified of the death of four of his relatives, and since then several others, of the old family, which dates from the sixteenth century, have been wounded.

 battle of the war, at Liege. It is said that heN received a mortal wound while waving the banner of his regi- nent to encourage his men in the sstorming of the Notifications of Liege. The Prince of Lppe recov
 cred the body of his uncle and it was buried with great pomp at Detnold, the capital of the little North German principality. Soon afterward the reigning Prince of Lippe was inform ed of the death of his brother-in-laW, Prince Frederick of xe-Meiningen, who was a classmate of Emperor Will liam at the University of Bonn Prince Frederick's @eighteen-year-o son, the nephew of the Prince of Lippe, was killed in northern France only, a few days after the, death of his father Late in August, 1914. another name was added to the Lippe death roll when Prince Ernst zur Lppe was killed near St. Quentin.

until the courts have an opportunity to pass upon the matter, as the at torney-general's opinion is not binding upon the judges. The district at torney is simply instructed to prose cute all cases according to the old law
 One well-known attorney, when consulted regarding the matter, said that the enabling act specifically states that the legislature has not the authority to regulate the "sale" of liquor. The act does not state. however, that it cannot regulate the receiving or giving of liquor, and in this way the territoral lawmakers could pass an act making it a mis- demanor for the natives to receive in toxicants or to give them away to another. In this way, any native vii plating the liquor law could be pun ished.-Fairbanks Times.

BUSINESS M [ N TOD|SCUSS
 THE WAR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28--As a fore runner of what is expected to be the most important gathering in the his tory of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, comes the an nouncement that the Fourth Annual Meeting will be held in Washington, D. C.. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day, February s. 9, 10. Owing to the fact that because of the war this is critical period in world business, it is predicted that there will be an un- usually large attendance.
 Consider Commercial Legislation
 Busness men all over the country, it is said, find it next to impossible to forecast from month to month scarcely even from day to day-the the changes which effect business. Under those circumstances, Secretary Goodwin of the National Chamber believes every business man in the country who is able to do so, will want to attend this great business conven- tion, if only for the reason that Con- gress which has so much important business legislation ahead of it, will then be in session.
 Business Delegates from Every State.
 John H Fahey, of Boston, president of the organization, will preside. Every commercial body affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States-and there are now nearly 700 of them representing not only every state in the Union but Alaska. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines-is urged in connection with the meeting to provide for the attendance not only of a full number of the delegates to which it is entitled but of a like number of alternates as we'll. There will be representatives present from the American Chamber of Commrce in Paris, Rome, Milan, and even as far away as Constantinople. Already ex- tensive plans are under way to make the convention memorable and there are early indications of a strong pro- gram. As usual, the National Coun- ell will assemble a day in advance, which falls this year on Monday after noon, February '.

HOOTCH SELLING INVALID, SAYS
 ATTY. ZEN.

In a letter received by United States Attorney R. F. Roth of Fair banks from the attorney general, he is informed that the department con- CUTS in his opinion that the legislature of Alaska had no authority to pass a law regulating the sale of liquor in the territory. The act referred to is more familiarly called the "hootch peddling law" in which the legislature attempted to reduce the crime of selling liquor to natives from a felony to a misdemeanor, and mak- ing it a misdemeanor for natives to receive or purchase intoxicants.
 Some months ago. MT. Roth had occasion to prosecute man on the lower river for the illegal sale of aiquor to natives. He proceeded un- der the old law passed by congress. It so happened that the offense was committed prior to the time that the territorial law was passed but the case did not come up until after the new act went into effect. The defen- dant demurred on the ground that the law under which the prosecution was started did not exist any longer, and therefore the accused could not be held. The demurrer was overruled, but the court did not fell called upon to pass upon the validity of the act at that time.
 Then Mir. Roth took the matter up with the department and offered the opinion that the legislature had gone farther than was permissible under the enabling act. The letter received was in answer to that communication, and stated that the department con cured in the opinion.
 It is probable, however, that the matter will not be settled definitely

the summer months its delivery in Fairbanks would mean saving of from ten to twelve days. Mir. Rich mond says:
 There is no reason in the world why we couldn't handle all the mail all the time if the government would only authorize the shipments and offer adequate compensation. We certainly are willing to do all we can to induce the government to ship all the mail all the time, and would like to see the people of the Interior do everything possible.
 Not only are we prepared to han dle all the mail all the time fin Che winter, but in the summer as well. It would mean that the people of the Interior could get their mail in about half the time now consumed in getting it to Fairbanks.
