rue Love Never Runs Smooth.


 Never Runs
 Smooth.
 They never speak as they pass by, And everyone is wond ring, Why"
 -Spokeshake. That true love never runs smooth iy was never more fully demonstrat d than in the case of we'll known young couple of Fairbanks, md the above couplet seems to fit them particularly well. How ever, the query in the lines is easily answered by the statement that the rupture in the friendship of these two young people was caused by the arrival in town a few days ago of certain parsonage, the presence of whom for some lit tle time past. has acted as might a thorn in the side of one of the parties
 Lovers Quarrels are usually more easily percetible than any other kind. Consequently, when these two young people met on a Cushman street corner the other day and fail ed to speak to each other, those who happened to see the occurrence were not long in guessing that some thing was radically wrong. She tilted her little freckled nose in the air and his stare was like that of an animated wooden Indian dressed in civilized clothes as they passed each other, both failing of recogni- ton.
 However friends of the young couple predict that it will all come right some day or night"
 This Gold A big bunch of anal Has A gam was brought in Value. from one of the neigh
 boring quartz mines one day last week, and the operator who brought it in stated to a re- porter on one of the local dailies that it went SSl to the ton of rock mined. The reporter jotted the state ment down in his notes and went on his way rejoicing in the fact that he had secured scoop"
 He went to his office and wrote up the story. It was put on the type setting machine in the course of time, but when the compositor reached that part of the story which told of the values of the rock, he was surprised to see that gold had been discovered which was valued at SS1 per ounce.
 When the story was turned back to the reporter for correction, he called up the operator from whom he had received it, and asked for con- firmation of what he thought had been told to him before. He there upon found that if there is any gold in the world going as high as $81 to the ounce, it has not been dis covered.
 FairbankS FalrDankS IS 10 get Second divorce reputation, it Reno seems, that will rival
 that enjoyed by Reno, Nevada. Incidentally, too, Judge Bunnell is in fair way of getting fame as a divorce judge.
 This divorce reputation that is be- inc of >ai irho oply is being promoted by Granville Crossan, who left here some time ago for the coast. When MT. Cros- san arrived at Seward, he had much to say about the Interior, especially about Fairbanks. and concerning his description of things here, the Sew ard Gateway printed in part the following:
 He says among other things that Judge Bunnell is getting along fine, He has set aside Fridays as the day for hearing divorce cases, and he beats the Reno record blind"
 It was also explained that MT. Crossan, for whom the town of Granville, B miles from Dawson, was named, was going from Sew ard to the Outside, it being the first time since 1897 that he had been out of Alaska.
 Wedding The stingiest man in Cost Him Fairbanks, presumably Nothing. has been found. His
 discovery was the indi- rect result of the stir that Is being made by the legislature concerning the fees for recording vital statis- tics.
 This man, who by the way is a familiar figure about town, is said to have refused to pay fol his own marrieg fees. At least
