HARRY AGER, BY FINISHING FIRST IN RACE BETWEEN FAIR BANKS AND NENANA, WINS A SIDE BET OF S25O-DRlVlNG A TEAM OF FIVE DOGS.

By arriving in town last night just before nine o'clock, Harry Ager won bet of $250 from Jack Betoff, bet ter known as "Calfornia Jack" The two men were at Nenana yesterday morning, and in an argument over the merits of their respective dog teams, decided to race from there to Fairbanks to decide the dispute and each man wagered $250
 Ager made one of the fastest, if not the fastest, trip ever made between the two place., putting up a record of less than eight hours Both teams left Nenana at 1 o'clock, and Ager pulled up in front of the California saloon a few minutes before o'clock the exact time of his arrival not be- ing known. Betoff had not shown up at midnight, but was looked for at any minute, and will certainly be here before morning. The winner drove a team of five dogs, and the other team was composed of seven animals.
 The race has created a con ider able amount of interest, and it is possible that other races may be ar ranged in the near future between other parties, as such a contest, if a purse could be raised, would draw several entries.

IL isn't very often that a woman will brave the hardships of Alaska trails alone, particularly if tho { trails be lengthy and lonesome, witf nu settlers along the route Blu that is just what Mrs. Pearl HowarC has done. For she arrived in Fair banks Tuesday night direct from thc Koyukuk country after having tra yersed the more than 600 miles ot long trail between the Koyukuk ant Fairbanks alone. with her dog team And she will make that trip one ot a round thousand mile3 if she act according to her present intentions for she will start, after a few days rest here for the coast and the Out side, driving the same team sht drove from the Koyukuk.
 Many of the pioneer women O Alaska have taken what the trail! had to offer them when travelinl from camp to camp. And many ol them have undergone hardship which would try the courage of an, man in making those trips. But there are few of them who have made long journeys alone, as, fol the most part, they have taken theI trips with a man or company 0. men. For this reason Mrs. Howard'E trip alone through the Alaska wilder ness, most of the time over practi cally untraveled trails, is eXtraor dinary, to say the least.
 Mrs. Howard had no trouble mak ing the trip out from the koyukuk according to statements made by hel friends. The nights she spent in the cabins along the trail which have been constructed for the ac- commodation of the mail carriers. In these, like any male traveller, she would cook the feed for her team of five dogs, unroll her blankets and prepare for sleep. And again like them, it was up early in the morning to eat a light breakfast, hitching up the dog team and roll ing up the blankets while it was cooking. The last duty at the cabin before again taking the trail was making the kindling to leave behind for the next traveller. And this duty is one which every good trail traveller never fails to perform if he conforms to the rules Of the trails in waste places.
 Mrs. Towards dog team is in good condition after the trip. She came through to Fairbanks from Panama in twenty-six hours actual travelling time.

Surprise was also expressed at the German embassy Ambassador von Bernstorff, however. expressed no little qualification when he learn ed of the complete contents of the note. He said that he Is now lutis- fled that there will be a conference, as none of the warning nations can afford to disregard the American note.
 The nearest parallel in the history of the world to the action of Presi- dent Wilson was Roosevelts action in 1905 to end the Russo Japanese war Then Roosevelt was a sured, before he submitted any proposal, that it would not be unacceptable by either side With President Will son the case is absolutely different, and more difficult of settlement, as the terms of peace offered by the Germans are not disCussable at a conference from the standpoint of at least two of the nations included in the Entente, Russia and France ENTENTE TO REPLY SOON.
 LONDON, Dec. 20.-Although no official statement has yet been made regarding the official reply of the Entente Allies to the German peace proposal, it is intimated in govern mental circles that the reply will be forthcoming in the very near future, possibly before Christmas. It is eX- pected that it will be of a very brief nature, and that it will be along the lines laid down by Premier LloydGeorge, of England, in his
 peech before the house of com mons on Tuesday, It Is believed, however, that the reply will be such as will leave an opportunity for Germany to make further peace over lures, something in the nature of more concrete peace proposal, if she cares to do so.

The home influence is either bless
ing or curse, either for good or for
evil. IL cannot ba neutral. In either
case it is mighty commencing with
our birth; going with us through life,
clinging to us in death, and reaching
into the eternal world. The specific
influences Of husband and wife, of par
ent and child, of brother and sister, OF
teacher and pupil united and harmonl'
ously blended, constitute the home in
tuence. Like the calm, deep stream,
it moves on in silent bu5 overwhelm-
ing power. 1t strikes its roots deep
into the human heert, and spreads its
branches wide over our whole being.
Like the lily that braves the tempest
and the Alpine flower that leans its
cheek on the blossom Of eternal snow,
it is exerted amid the widest storms
OF life and breathes softening spell in
our bosom even when a heartless world
is freezing up the fountains OF sympa-
thy and love.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN,
THE OLD-FASHIONED WOMAN.

THE OLD-FASHIONED WOMAN.
No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, untrodden ways
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Around her childish hearts are twired
AS with some reverent saint enshrined
And following her, the childish feet
Are led to ideals pure and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still;
God rules the world in good and i'll;
Men 10 her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew;
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's brighter place
All Tor the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she goes
a gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
TO whisper love-thank God for her.
