Wait. master in chancery of the circuit court. John Conant. one iof Waits family ancestors. who lived next door to the Douglas home in Brandon. Vt. saved Douglas life.
 '"The morning Douglas was born,' the letter says. John Conant went to the Douglas house. and as he entered the room Douglas father was sitting in an armchair before an open fire place with the infant in his arms. Just as Conant entered the father died sud denly from apoplexy. The infant rolled down into the fireplace. and Conant snatched him from the fire"

 "The Italian father and mother ask the young man who seeks their daugh- ter if he is insured. If he is not they urge him to take out insurance before the wedding. and sometimes they in- sist upon it.

OLDEST SOURDOUGH

One of the most interesting cases to come to the notice of the board of trustees of the Pioneers home is the application for pension under the law passed by the last legislature, of John Finlayson, of Wrangel, who is known to be at least 103 years of age, his exact age being unknown. Finlayson poses as the oldest man in Alaska, and is so old that he has for gotten his exact age. Friends de- clare that they know he is 103 years of age, but make no attempt to say how much more. Finlayson has been a resident of Wrangel for Al years. having first arrived there in 1874. He left for time and prospected ill the Cassiar country, where he made quite little stake. He returned to Wrangel and has made his home iG this city ever since.

 "A dispatch from Juneau, Alaska shows that the thermometer is up around ninety degrees in that region, bumper crops are expected, forest fires are raging and the glaciers are melting at terrific rate. It s in- teresting to compare the general sit uation around with St. Louis with that at Juneau. We are doing about as well for crops, and have been lit tie happier in our temperatures.

COLORING DRAWINGS.
A Tip to Craftsmen That May Save
 Time and Trouble.

A Tip to Craftsmen That May Save
 Time and Trouble.
 Every draftsman has had occasion at one time or another to color drawing or white print. The use of colored inks is unsatisfactory; crosshatching in colors obscures the details and is slow. while water colors have the disadvan- tage of slowness. besides being difficult to apply evenly.
 A quick and satisfactory method of coloring involves the use of ordinary wax crayons and gasoline. Crayon of the color desired is applied and then rubbed with piece of cloth wet with gasoline until the color is even and ex- tended to the limits desired. If it over runs the lines it can be erased with a pencil eraser. Some colors. particular ly the yellows. purples. greens and light blues. produce much better results than others
 It is probable that the gasoline dis solves the wax from the crayon, leav- ing the pigment as an impalpable pow der. which when rubbed over the paper colors it uniformly. The method is ap- plicable with equal success to eggshell and smooth drawing papers and to white prints on both paper and cloth.- Engineering and Mining Journal.

CHINESE BOYCOTT
 JAPANESE GOODS
Merchants Refuse to Handle Goods Made in Japan and Organize
 Universal Boycott.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20.-Chinese merchants have organized a boycott throughout the Chinese republic in an effort to check the activities of the Japanese government, and in retalia- tion for the enforcement of the Japa- nese demands for territorial and com- mercial concessions.
 The boycott is universal through the republic and is causing the Japa- nese importers immense losses as the boycott was organized so quietly it was in full force before the mer- chants were aware that they had lost their trade with Chinese merchants. The refuse of the Chinese merchants to buy from Japanese or to handle Japanese manufacturer goods is wor- rying the Mikado's government off. cials, and it is expected that Japan will attempt retaliatory measures.

RAMPART'S NEW LAWYER
 POET SCHOOLMA'ANl.

Isabel Amber Gilman, woman of unusual attainment, arrived at Ram' part on the steamer Alaska last week and will take charge of the school at that place according to the Ruby Record-Citizen. Among the accom- plishments which this versatile lady (who must be alluded as Dr. Gilman in order to obviate possible mis- take), is that of authorship, and 8 book of her copyrighted no longer ago than 1914 is now upon the Rer- ord Citizens table. The volume is entitled "Alaskaland. A Curious Con- tradiction," and following the name of the author is "LL.B." (Of the Washington and Alaska Bar) Author of Echoes from the Grange
 Lack of familiarity with Dr. Gill man and her literary products is dis creditable to a mining camp editor, rather than to herself, and it is sin cerely hope she will take that view of the matter when she learns that her book brought with it the novelty of unexpectedness and unrequited curiosity as to whom she is and why she expended so much skilled labor in the manner she did She has made a very good book, but what for? Her verses measure up to a high standard of mechanical excel- lence and may contain much of the essence of real poetry, but who cares.
 There is a feeling deep down in the hearts of the average Alaskan that this country is a poor place for poets, except they come here to be cured. If that is what brings Dr. Gilman she chose well when she hit upon Rampant. Most of the top notch male poets who ever came to Alaska to court the muse returned to the Outside tilted to fareyou- we'll, and several of them are known to have sought forgetfulness in the European war.
 Dr. Gilman may find happiness and a field for usefulness at Ram part as a teacher of children of var jed and indeterminate lineage, but it is believed-nay, hoped-that the camp will turn out poor place to practice poetry in. In Dr. Gilman will strive to shine solely in the ca pacity of teacher, Fate can't whip saw the turn on her and she will be spared several vain regrets.
