A Way To There are numberless Stop Their women in the world who IaIkino. know when to talk and
 when not to. but there are also a greater number who never cease chattering from morning till night One would think and quito naturally. too, that they would soon run out of subjects to talk about, but. in that event. something is manufactured in short order and the talk goes on just the same.
 Quite frequently, however ways and means are adopted for stopping talk. Some of them are Intellectual but others prove to be perfectly ade- Quate Not very long ago we'll known physician of Fairbanks at tended big social function where there was the usual amount of small talk among men as well as women. Growing tired of conversation the doctor g con repaired to one side oi the room and was quickly joined by another person who also desired Jo escape from the crowd. Having nothing else to talk about they started in on the crowd and, as the subject developed, each gave his ideas as to all of the why's and wherefores of conversation in gen eral
 Finally the physician spoke up and said that doctors have a good way to stop talk among their women patients, who, when they are con fined to their homes. are particularly garrulous. The other person then took occasion to say that it was supposed all the physician needed to do was to tell the patient that to talk would injure her condition. The doctor then said:
 No that would be entirely inef- fectual, as some women would talk if they knew they were going to die the next minute The only way l can stop one is by placing ther- mometer under her tongue
 Love Will They say that love will Find find a way even if it Way has to be sent on a post
 card and, from the recent experiences of certain young man of Fairbanks, it is evident that the old saying has come true again However, love in his case is not blind as it how has the power of distinguishing one color from an other although a few days ago the said young man would have laugh ed to scorn the dea of his not know ing who certain of his spondents on the Outside were.
 At any rate, this young man re- ceived Christmas card from the Outside a few days ago, signed by a name with which he was entirely unfamiliar. He racked his brain with all kinds of thoughts as to which of his acquaintances on the Outside had sent the card, but all to no avail, as ke knew of nobody who had a name such as was signed to the missive
 However, after much thinking. he concluded that he had discovered the identity of the sender of the card, whom he presumed to be q perfect blonde, and went about proud ly displaying his evidence that "she" had thought of him at Christmas time.
 One night not long ago in a local restaurant, the card was again brought to his attention by his dis covering that another of his youthfui friends had received one of the same sort signed by the same name and in the same hand writing. He wondered how she" had happened 10 write to his friend although he knew that she" and the young gentleman in question were not eX- actly on the friendly" list when she" was in Fairbanks, and began to make subtle inquiries. By doine so he discovered who the real send CT of the two cards was, and was completely floored, as it were, for thing awful.
 Naturally the world does not seem as bright to him now as it once did Neither does the sun shine for him so strongly Nevertheless the young man is taking his surprise philoso phically, but is determined that love, in this particular case, will not find way although he cannot help what Uncle Sam brings him in the way of Christmas cards or other correspondence.
 "Oh, you Judy"
 School w. H. Adams confided Candidates to the Tatler the other Needed day that he will not be
 candidate for reelection as school director in April, for he says that, having served two terms in that position, he feels that he has done his duty and is willing to step out and give room to someone else
 Already there seems to be some talk about candidates for the school board, but no names are being made public. It is not a job that anyone wants for the salary there is in it, for school directors are supposed to work without pay and be a sort of target for criticism besides. How ever, there are men and women who like the work, and can usually be induced to become candidates.
 MT. Adams, the retiring school director, is looking forward to going Outside this year. provided his local business affairs can be arranged to permit his going. He has been '
