True culture, like true virtue, in the
main is matter of growth. By de-
grees it grows in strength, and in
sight, but can not be suddenly and
forcibly won by any kind of magic
process; one must make some definite
beginning. and then persevere in it.

Boiling Gait at the brides Washing

Dec. Is, electrifes an entire nation,
peculiarly susceptible to the heart APP
peal to country witnessing the mar

With a ceremony so simple and

Mrs. Gait, one Of the most beauti-
full women in Washington of the old
Virginia stock, never looked more
lovely than she did as the date for
the wedding approached. And even The

D < * < ' < < < z < | ' * WAS JOE JOURDEN *
 * FROZEN TO DEATH (:

The Valdez Prospector is authority for the statement that Joe JOurden of Nome was frozen to death, and that he did not die of Bright's disease as the cable to the Gateway said. The following is the story as told by the correspondent of the Prospector:
 NOME, Oct, 1S.-Joseph D. Jourd- en a pioneer merchant of this city was frozen to death Saturday night on the river, having wandered away from the road during a storm which suddenly blew in from the north. Jourden had been on the creeks look ing after some mining property in which he was interested and was caught in the storm while returning to town. He had been in the river, as his clothing was frozen when the body was round yesterday morning after daylight"
 There is likely some mistake about this but an inquiry will be sent as "Jce" Journden was one of the best known men in the north.

ROLAND DISPOSITIONS
 TAKING THIS AFTERNOON

The Ballaine townsite case began this afternoon at 2 o'clock with the taking of the depositions of Wm. J. Roland. Mir. Roland went in detail into the whole story which is so we'll known. He was solicitor, he said, for the Sovereign Bank of Canada which went into liquidation. In it's papers were discovered bonds and record of suit brought by John E. Ballaine. It was decided to form an Alaska Central syndicate and all the bond holders were invited to join. About May 1914 he got letter from one of the attorneys connected with the mat ter in which it was stated that the townsite belonged to the railroad company. AS a result of that letter he, Mir. Roland, wrote to Judge Mor- ford and Colonel Swanitz asking for information but Judge Morford re- ferred him to Mir. Haight. The de- position had not been finished at the time for closing the forms.

GREAT BRITAIN ENTERS DANGEROUS POLITICAL PHASE
!. < < < : < < * < < < ( . THE TOWNSHIP CASE *

The case which begins this after noon here in the district court and which is known as the Townsite case arises from a question as to the pos session of the townsite property held by the Ballaines. The defendants in the present suit bought the property from Mrs. Lowell who had it as a homestead and the Plaintiffs claim that the money paid was money that belonged to the railroad company. The defendants claim that the money was their own and on this question the case rests. This much is told merely for the purpose of letting newcomers know what it is all about. It is hardly advisable to go any further into the matter while the case is sub judice.

against a poison taken into the lungs with the air one has to breathe to even move. much less fight. I came down from the north of England with a been invalided home wounded in the late winter. They were all most sor
 rowfully returning to their regiments.
 It seemed so unlike what we wish to think of fighters that I tried to find the reason. It was soon given, for every one talks these troubled times. All the old restraint of tongue has passed, all want either to tell what they have seen or listen to what you have been through. Some of the boys unblush-
 inglv said: "War was hell, anyway, before the use of gas; now it is seven
 hells in taking the heart out of the men with the fear of gas" None of them was so particularly afraid of being
 killed, but to be tortured in the killing, or live for years in agony from the eff fects of gas, had such hold on the ina agination. the spokesman of the party said. that if he thought of it
 much more he would probably jump
 overheard from the transport. It is only little more than a month
 since the use of poison gases has been admitted by the warmakers. Early in
 the game strange stories came of rank
 on rank of men standing dead in the
 trenches with not wound, but the stories were later discounted. Now
 horrible as they are, they are only too true It is as when "the Assyrian came down like wolf on the fold, and his cohorts were gleaming with purple and gold" until "the breath of the
 Lord" smote them. As mysterious and
 awful are the gas clouds that float out over the battlefields of Europe leaving
 men, greenish gray in their wake.-Ex.
