PREVENT TEMPTATION

Judge Weakley,' referring instantly to tome of formidable appearance, proved that while a citizen of state might have certain rights, it was not an infringe ment of those rights to deny outsiders to tempt him.
 Why said the speaker. "Alabamians. while possessed of the right to buy. might not take advantage of that right unless apprised of brands and their sources. We are here to urge you to deny to criminals a beneficent agency of the government in their plans to break down our laws and to disrupt the sentiment of our state.''
 Following the meeting, Judge Weakley declared that he had never addressed a more satisfactory audience. He will speak tomorrow before the House com mittee, which is in possession of the Abercrombie bill. The measure has not yet been introduced in the Senate.

GREAT MINING FUTURE

Alaska holds more promise for tre future than any mining coun- try !n the world, according to George Arrons, general manager of tEe Fairbanks Gold Mining Com Dany, who has ust returned from t1e North. He Is enroutee to his hone in London, and is at the New Washington, says the Seattle Times.
 "I have been in the mining game since ny youth," said MT. Arrons yesterday, and I have operated in Australia, South Africa, Russia and Alaska. I know of no country rich CT in mineral wealth than the Al ask9n Territory.
 Probably the best thing that has ever happened to the country was the prohibition measure just pass ed by the people there.
 '"The annual appropriation of $5O9,OGO for road building is in no way sufficient for the needs of our country. The government engineers in charge of this work are compet- cut and they certainly give the North the worth Of a half million, but as I said, it is not enough"
 Arrons is a director in the com pauy which he represents and has leon spending his summers on the property near Fairbanks for the last five years. He will leave Sunday for New York and later will sail for Liverpool.

Use of Ia" and "an."

Do most educated people say "a
 unique example" or "an unique ex- ample?" In deference to the rule they probably write "an," but if you notice their pronounciation, when they are talking naturally and not thinking of how they pronounce, they will almost invariably say Ca" And this is quite natural, for unique" begins with a consonant It is pronounced "yuneek." Similarly most people say both "a his- tory" and "a historical fact" unless they drop the consonant "h' and say "an istorlcal fact."-London Chronicle.
