URGE INFERENCE,

Washington, Sept. 3O.-The state
department has placed an informal re-
quest before Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, asking that
he use his influence with the German
government to interfere in behalf of
the Americans in Turkey.
State department advices have
shown that while so far there have
been no violation of American rights,
which would make a basis for formal
protest, evidence reaching officials
from unofficial sources indicate that
American lives and property have
been threatened. ~
Paris, Sept. 3O.-A further gain of
ground in Champagne to the north Of
Mesnil is recorded in the French Off

adds that on the Champagne front
alone since September rs field guns

The statement says also that by a
counter attack the Germans succeed
ed in regaining a footing in the works
known as the "Oubrage de la Defarte,"
a portion of which the French had
taken.

INTERIOR QUARTZ MINERS
 ARE FEELING OPTIMISTIC

Fairbanks Times: That the quartz prospectors and miners of the Fairbanks creek district are i'll a very optimistic frame of mind and that properties will be de- Yeloped with rapidity during the present winter, is the opinion of August Hess, the hard rock man, who is in town for q few days. He states that the building of GUS tom stamp mill by Charles Heiltg has pleased the quartz men of the Fairbanks creek district mere than anything that has been dcne in many months.
 The plant, which is a Huntington mill. was formerly located on the Tolovana quartz property, and has a capacity of handling about ten tons of ore day. It will be ready for work during the early part of 1915, and the proSpectorS Of that district will have approximately 100 tons of ore ready to mill by that time.
 Critics & Feldman, who recently installed a new plant, are report ed to be doing well, and are well pleased with the showing made by their mill. They are said to have enough work blocked out to keep them busy for many months, and everything looks encouraging.
 MT. Hess thinks that there will be much more development on the quartz properties in the vicinity of Fairbanks creek after Hei!ig's mill is in working order, as the cost Of freighting and milling will be re- duced from about $14 q ton to less than $6 per ton.

VALUE OF LAUGHTER.


 Laughter is a foe to pain and disease and sure cure for melan- chola and worry. Laughter is contagious. Be cheerful and you make everybody around you happy and healthfuI. Use laughter as a table sauce. It stimulates the di- gestive processes. It keeps the heart and face young and enchances physical beauty. It gives warmth and glow to the whole system. Perfect health, which may be in- jured by bad news, by grief or by anxiety, is often restored by a hearty laugh.

A Stagecoach Wedding-By Donald Chamberin.

l was standing in room crowded
with men and women in evening dress
when / heard a CHEEKY feminine voice
near me exclaim:
/ why. Toni"
I What luck" responded a young
man. with blonde hair, parted in the
middle. and his chin held up by a
very high collar.
II don't know a person here said
the girl. who had spoken first
Nor l. l would rather have met you
than own a gold mine"
Isn't it nice TO meet some one you
don't expect, but whom you wish to
meet?"
Happy smiles Illuminated the faces
of these two youngsters, whom ii made
me happy to look at Indeed, there
was one especial reason for my enjoy
ment of this pleasant surprise, for it
reminded me of one that had occurred
in my own family years before.
In the sixties-I refer to the last
century-my father, then young
man, went out to Denver to grow up
with a new town Albert Reeder had
gone there a few years before with
a stamp mill on Clear creek, up in the
mountains, and had become interested
in the extraction Of gold from ore. My
father, who was as poor as a church
mouse, found work in the service of
Mr.. Reeder and was sent up to one of
his stamp mills, where he soon became
superintendent.
Mr. Reeder thought my father one
of the brightest young men in tee
world and was ready to do anything
for him till he discovered that his en-
ploye had a love affair with his dangh-
ter, Agnes. Then he suddenly turned
against him. The trouble was that
Reeder had a prospect of soon becom-
ing very rich and had begun to cher
ish expectations of Agnes marrying
either a duke or prince or something
Of that order.
The young couple were in a peck Of
trouble in consequence of the old
mans refusal to consent to their I'M
ion. OF course the matter rested with
Agnes. MY father couldn't do any
thing without her concurrence, and
she was indisposed to break with her
father But her father must have been
uncertain of her, for he ordered her
to get ready to go back east to stay /
awhile with an aunt Agnes seemed I
to yield TO his commands /
She wrote my father that he might .
come down from the mill and say
yoodby to her. He did so and there
vas a very affecting scene between
he lovers.
Inasmuch as Agnes was making her
to go east and it was
that she was bidding her
over a last farewell, no opposition
vas made to the two youngsters see
ng as much of each other as they
liked. They spent whole. evening to-
