WOMAN IN NEED OF PRAYER.
Sister Hannah Had No Husband, Blu.
Desired Congregation to Help
Her In Getting One.

When the topic at dinner party
the other evening turned to the eff
hcacy of prayer this story was told
by Miss Julia sanderson, the musical
comedy star:
Just before the conclusion of a
weekly prayer meeting in a country
town one night the minister arose
and glanced over the congregation.
Is there anybody present" he
asked, who wishes the prayers of the
congregation for relative OF
friend?"
Yes, parson," answered a tall ang
ular woman, rising quickly to heI
feet, Il want the congregation to
pray for my husband"
Why Sister Hannah" exclaimed
the dominic in a surprised voice
you have no husband"
Il know haven't" was the calm
reloinder of Sister Hannah. Il want
all hands to pitch in and help me

the last fifteen years the Prince Will liam Sound region, Alaska, has be- come an important |copper-producing district, and the number of produc- tive mines there is constantly in- creasing. The Ellamar district, a part of this region, has been the scene of active mining since 1900, and in order that accurate information concerning this area should be avail able to the public the United States Geological Survey has recently pre- pared and published detailed re- port on it. This report contains ex- cellent topographic. and geologic maps on a scale of about a mile to the inch. and is illustrated by numerous plates and figures. The discussion of the history of the district and descrip- tion of the geography are of interest to the lay reader; the treatment of the areal and structural geology and the discussion of their bearing on the distribution of the ore deposits, as we'll as the description of the mines and prospects, are more technical

The po- lice descend upon the place, arrest several including FitzHugh, and in court they are sentenced to Black wells Island for thirty days. Fitz- Hugh bribes a guard to allow him to go home for a couple of hours be- fore beginning his sentence and he tells his wife that he has been called to Mexico on business. He then begins his sentence and the farcieal fun that develops keeps the audience in a continual uproar of laughter. It is described as one of William Col Hers greatest comedy successes:
