MULES AS VOTERS.

The Supreme Court of West Vir- ginia finds that large number Of mules have been registered as vet CTS. and orders that their names be .tr.chen from registration lists
 Men vote like sheep. generally. and the old standpatters always vote like mules The hybrid itself could not possibly exhibit less reason and intelligence than millions of men do every time they have a chance to go to the polls. The majority has frequently shown less discrimi- nation than good mules ought to possess, if the majority is to be judged by some of the jobholders it has installed-from Presidents down Sometimes indeed, We have elected mules.
 A good deal is to be said for mules, as citizens, by comparison with some others but with the rb- ject of improving the electorate it is doubtless good policy to exclude them-eyen in West Virginia

BANK CASE REVERSED.

Attorney l.. K. Pratt received a wire last week to the effect that the Supreme Court had reversed Judge Frederick E. Fullers deci- sion in the case of the American Bank of Alaska vs. Edwin Richards. The case arose out of a mining venture in Iditarod when Richards, who was then mining at Hot Springs, staked another man to go to ldita- rod. The man borrowed money in Richards name and Judge Fuller held that Richards was indebted to the bank in the sum of $3 500. The reversal of the decision has the effect of ordering the case pack here for new trial in district court

CROWDED OUT.

The News Miner is not large enough in columns and pages to print everything that would bear out it's contentious on the liquor subject, and wishing to lend help ing hand to a brother editor who is crowded for space We herewith re- print chicken booze" story with out the hope of fee or reward If the News Miner can wiring it in on it's 5-cent-a-line contract it has our consent. This is the story:
 Hens that take a drop too much or are subject to drug habits are not, as might be feared incompe- tent As a matter of fact, they lay more eggs and do more all around work than hens whose lives have been so lived that not the slightest breath of scandal has ever attached to them.
 At the annual convention of the American Philosophical society this dHldZIIS SIIudtloH was tApldiueu when Raymond Pearl biologist at the Maine agricultural experiment station, rose to make a few remarks about hens he has met.
 MT. Pearl explained that an effort was made to learn what effect drugs and rum might have upon roosters and hens. At first alcohol was placed in drinking water and the coop conventionalists refused abso- lutely to drink
 Then it was decided that both ether and alcohol would be sprayed upon the backward barnyard speci- mems to see how they would act when woozy. In half an hour an entire hen coop full of specimens was as packed as a trunk and as giddy as all outdoors.
 MT. Pearl stated that when the hens and roosters were so pickled up that they were cackling "hic-a- dodle-do' the scientists began to take notes on their condition and upon what occurred, They were amazed to find that the hens laid more eggs than they had ever laid before and that both hens and roost- CTS fattened up so that it was al most a crime to let them live How. ever. those that had imbibed grew lazy and Quarrelsome and in the end were not fit to eat, in a man. ner of speaking.
 For all the laymen present knew this may prove something. From a strictly nonscientific point of view it would seem that too much booze is no better for hen than for a nick

"Wormwood the dramatic master work of Marie Corelli as produced by the Fox Film Corporation for perturbation, was the play seen on the screen at Thorne's last night.

From this point the drama rushes to catyclysmc climax of fairly over whelming power.

HUGHES HAS HIS REVENGE.

When eX-JustiCe Hughes received the Republican nomination for Pres- dent of the United States, it was one of the sweetest pieces of un- sought revenge ever known. He ought to have been nominated in 1908 An overwhelming majority of the Republican party wanted him for it's candidate and the country unquestionably would have elected him But the adroit despot who then ruled the party from his throne in the White House forbade

During the past week gasoline pumping device was installed in the street in front of the Northern Commercial company's store for the convenience of automobilists And from the tank from which the gaso
 inc is taken quantities of the flu:i ranging from one pint to one gallon can be secured The pump brings the gasoline from the tank and puts 1t directly in the gasoline tank of the automobile by hose. The tank holds 300 gallons Therefore lll an automobilist needs to do when he wants to secure some gasoline at the Northern Commercial com pany's plant Is to drive his machine up make his wants known and pay his money, turn crank and watch tha machine do the work of filling rp the gasoline tank of his auto mobile.

Arthur Williams is the proud pos sessor of a new King Flight" auto mobile, the first of it's kind in this camp. The machine came in on the steamer Julia B. Arthur bought 1t while he was Outside during the past winter, having ordered it to be shipped to Fairbanks via the lower river by the first boat.
 Therefore, when in an answer to a wire sent by him to one of the lower river telegraph stations rela- tive to whether or not the machine was on the boat, Arthur received an answering wire saying that it was lost overheard when it was being lightered at St. Michael. Ar thur was much perturbed. In fact, he was so put out that he wanted his name withdrawn from the mem bership of the Fairbanks Automobile club and wanted to draw down the initiation fee. Now. however, with the arrival of the machine. every thing is serene in the Williams camp,
 Mrs. Williams also drives the new car.
 Considering the fact that there are now more than 50 automobiles in Fairbanks, the showing made by the would be automobile paraders on the Fourth of July was an eXcep- tionally poor one In fact although there were several cars in the pa rade on which there were flags or evergreen as decorations, there were only two cars which were at all dolled up in honor of the occasion, These were the cars of Mrs. R. c. Wood, driven by Mrs. Wood herself. and G. E. Beraud, driven by Bob Sheldon.
 Both of these automobilists had evidently gone to considerable trou- ble and expense in making their cars fit to be seen in a parade, the decorations apparently being of

Another point decided was that the club will inn prove the road between Fairbanks and point below the slaughter house below town, where there is a large turn, making a very pretty automobile drive and adding sev- eral miles to the automobile roads in the vicinity of town.
 The overthe-trail automobile mail service has now commenced in good earnest, first class mail from the Outside being received in Fairbanks once per week It also leaves the local office once per week, the days of leaving and arriving being Sat urday and Wednesday respectively, That is, those will be the days on which the mail cars will arrive and leave Fairbanks, providing a sched- ule can be maintained.
 It is understood that the mail con tractors are using three machines in their work.
 One machine makes this end of the line it's headquarters, operating between Fairbanks and Richardson. Another operates between Richard son and Copper Center. while the third makes the trail between Valdez z and Copper Center.

 Josiah and I air ploddin' along this airthly way at about the same gait as usual, exceptin' few times when one of these February gales has got behind us and obleeged us to travel leetle faster.
 I jest want to say that in waterin' house plants, use a long necked bot tie, it is so much handler than the tunnel arrangement some one sug- gested.
 If an invalid objects to white of an egg in milk, because the egg don't mix easily, try squeeging the egg through cheese cloth, and it will blend with the milk so you'd never know it was there.
 want to add one more pie to Hu.- dy's list:
 Lemon Pie: Two lemons boiled un- til the skin is tender; cut open and remove seeds, then run the peels, with one cup of raisins through the meat grinder (using a rather fine cutter) two eggs, two heaping tablespoons oi flour: two cups sugar and four cups water Three large. or four small pies Best wishes to all.

SOCIAL CALLS.

It Is evident short visits make long friends, and if so. the basis depends largely on conversation, of which, topics and attitude are principal char aCters.
 To ridicule anothers faults or weakness leaves an impression to be remembered against a visitor. Often the unkind words are repeated and from one to another they gain. If a visit cannot be helpful instead of detrimental, then the shorter the visit, the better for both parties
 If we would have friends, which we naturally desire. and enjoy their so- ciety we must study to gain their friendship. by every kindly effort.
 Much depends upon the person to whom we are talking, just the right word. and just the proper time to say 1t. Circumstances are essential to carefulness in conversation It need not be but one word, perhaps only an emphasis on a syllable, to change ones attitude towards us. It requires tact, to be on the alert and to know when to he silent, and when to speak the thought our mind would suggest. We may often regret "a slip of the tongue" when it is too late: hence. guard the unspoken word. To con dense this theme I will add the fol- lowing lines:
 If wisdom's ways you'd wisely seek
 Five things observe with care. "Of' whom you speak, ito" whom
 you speak:
 And how and when and where"
