Dear Annie Laurie: I am sixteen
Years of age. but am considered
bv my friends a mere child In
actions and dress. Is II proper
for me to speak TO an elderly gen.
tIcman TO whom / have never
been introduced, hut know by
sight on account Of knowing his
son? MY reason for asking this Is
that he has done me a favor by
opening the store door several
times when my hands were full
of packages.

C. e. NJ,

q 10 the question about speak
inR to the elderly man who
has been so courteous TO
you. but upon reading the second
part of your letter have changed
my opinion around to a decided yes.
The mere fact that you have a COM
mon friend does not warrant your
speaking to him, but since he has
put you In debt TO him by help
ing you so kindly, II would not be
grateful OF you to keep from speak
ing to him. DO you think so7
Four dances a week, for one week
In the year. followed by a long rest

HAT has kept you from
NA making up" with her for
Wv so long? l don't see any
reason for either of you to
BE anEry-the mere fact that you
didn't think you loved the girl
shouldn't have resulted in a quarrel.
From your description of'your feel
inEs you certainly do bear all the
evidences of a man in love. but
cheer up! only think you are
foolish to have moped along by your
self for so long after you stopped
caing upon the girl. What must she
think, anyway? If 1 were you Id
90 right over to see her this even
ing. You will be a bit stif and un-
comfortable at first, but don't let
that bother you. "She" will prob
ably feel just as uneasy until she
gets acquainted with you all over
again. / do hope she won't discover
that she's fallen out OF love with
you meanwhile.

Dear Miss Laurie-I am young
man of twenty-five who once
missed a chance to marry a girl
Of eighteen. She loved me dearly
but / didn't think L loved her as
1 ought. After 1 left her / found
/ really did love her. Since that
time life seems to have gone
against me. l cant be contented,
no matter what / do. Although l
have tried to forget her l think
of her always. I am quite sure
that I could make up with her
for she hasn't kept company
with anyone since | left ana

Please advise me what to do.

A GOOD SUGGESTION

Professor. Haultain. of Toronto Uni Iversity, in the course of a paper on '"The Stimulation of Prospecting observed: "We need prospectors and prospecting. Kellog's historic burro which stood on the outcrop of what
 is now the Bunker Hill 6 Sullivan un- til his party came up to him, and Artemus Wards picturesque mule that kicked it's drunken owner over the precipice to fall on the Long Los' Lode are of the ideal type of prospec- tors, full of bull headed luck and vii ling to let the other fellow have all the profits. Unfortunately we have
 not enough of this type. Next to
 these comes the old-time Western
 prospeetor not so full of luck but
 almost as careless of his own profits
 What he lacks in luck he makes ur
 in hope. Hope is developed so large in his makeup that it becomes the
 predominant controlling influence. Ii
 becomes not only the spur to his ef forts. but the cloak to cover his fail ings '-Ex.

 PASSED BY LEGISLATURE

While the Senate today passed the
 amer fishing memorial to Con -ress, lambasting the deposed Dr. E.
 lester Jones, the House committee of { he whole, with Representative Dris- 'oll presiding. recommended for pas sage House Bill IS, submitted by the committee On mining and manufact ures, an act supplementing the mining laws of the United States in their re- ation to Alaska.
 The new mining bill amends the Ro len law, enacted by the First legisla' urc, in regard to assessment work It declares that assessment work shall be done on only one claim of an asso- ciation group, where it is shown that such work is development and i'm provement of the entire group.
 The bill further cuts down the fees $50 fees for recording one claim, and twenty-five cents for each additional claim named in the group. Mr. Held stated that in this district, under the old law, $20 was often paid for record ing document containing less than one typewriter page of matter. Un- der the old law, according to MT. Held, the commissioners held that they could prescribe fees as designat ed by the attorney-general, but, he argued, mining recording related to the Territory of Alaska, and acord- lngly fixed the amount the recorder shall receive for such work.-Empire.

FROM MONDAYS DAILY

Seattle. April 5-First reports of Willard winning in the 25th round were incorrect. The knockout was not administered until the 26th round In this round, Willard opened with a terrific smash to Johnson s body. A clinch followed, which the referee broke. Willard then rushed, plant. ing heavy blows with each hand on the negro's body, just as the latter, was looking over his shoulder at his wife who was sitting at the ring side. The last blow did the work, and Johnson collapsed Willard stood over him ready to send another one home as the referee counted, but the negro did not rise. Seeing that the champion had lost, on immense crowd rushed into the ring, menacing John son, and the soldiers on guard had to be called in to clear the ring.
 Johnson started things in the first round by sending a right and left iab to Willard s jaw, rocking the big fellow Matters were even in the second, but in the third round Will lard's lips were bleeding freely. Will lard appeared dazed in the fourth and fifth, boxing like m amature. This condition continued to the middle of the eighth round, he being beaten to the ropes several times, and escap- ing the knockout ouly by lodging. In the eighth he gained a little confi- dence and assumed the aggressive. al though his body was bruised all over from Johnson's s blows. In the ninth round, Johnson was slow in getting away from his corner, and as the white man began to land here and there, the crowd began kidding Jack, especially as the latter's blows seem ed to lack their old time punch.
 Thus things continued until the 14th round when Johnson stopped his head punches and began playing for Will lard s stomach The crowd here be- gan boosting for Willard, who began to look like a possible winner. The twentieth round found both men slow ing up, and from then on until the twenty-fifth the fight degenerated into sparring-wrestling match with few blows struck. Johnson is evi- dently playing to win on points, real izing that he lacks the necessary punch to put the other fellow to sleep. Willard shows much distress as the result of the hard head jolts receiv ed in the first of the fight. In the twenty-fifth, both speeded up con. siderably, and landed some heavy blows. The same was true of the 26th and last when the final blow was struck.
 Willards gameness against the ne gro's superior ability made him very popular to the spectators who were with him after the eighth round. John son was not nearly as able man as he was at Reno, but at that he is far from being wreck. He knows much more about the game than Willard, the latter's youth and strength alone saving him from knockout in the
 irst ten rounds
 Willard fought at 23s pounds, John son at 225.
