A Chicago woman has asked for o
place on the police force, advancing
as her special reason the fact that "her
husband Is a poet and she has to
live"
Perhaps this case might be cited in
support OF the assertion that clever
men seldom marry clever women, and.
vice versa, although 1t is hard to say
whether the cleveraess in this par
ticular instance is possessed by the
poet husband or by the wife who wants
to become q policewoman In order to
live. We have our suspicion. however,
without knowing anything about the
respective merits OF the pair 1t is, at
least, mark Of originality for a
woman to aspire to active work on the
police force, and a vein OF originality
is one of the attributes OF cleyerness,
while even stupid person may write
poetry or what often passes for poetry
in these days.
Perhaps this Chicago husband is not
really poet, but only thinks he Is q
poet. II is unfortunate that there Is a
lot Of confusion OF these two classes
in the popular mind, for there have
been, and still are, many worthy poets
who are not afflicted with stupidity,
but they treat poetry as pastime and
carry 1t along as a side line, getting
their bread and butter with something
more dependable. As a rule "A man

CITY HAS SUFFERED MUCH
plarhekr, on the Upper Ti1ris, One
Of the Most interesting spots
on Earth.

One OF the important cities Of Asia
Minor lying in the region in which
the Russian and Turkish armies have
been in contact for some time is Diar-
bekr, situated on the upper Tigris,
which, at this point, is a stream fow-
Ing through a deeply cut open valley.
Describing its situation, the National
Geographic society says:
~The situation Of Diarbekr is an i'm
pressive one. Built upon basaltic
tableland, surrounded by walls con-
structed OF basaItic rock, the city over
looks broad bend OF the Tigris,
which flows byits eastern side. Beneath
the walls OF the city and within the
bend OF the river lies a plain covered
with vegetation OF every shade OF
green that the East can produce. Few
cities Of the earth have undergone
greater vicissitudes than Diarbekr.
Roman and Persian. Armenian and
Parthian, Arab and Turk have dis
pnted its possession. In one of its
many changes alone, more than 3d.
900 of its population were put TO the
sword.
$50 heavy has been the toll that
war has levied upon it that where once
1t was larger than the capital OF the
United States, today less than A0,-
900 people dwell there. The city is
rich in remnants OF its former great
ness. Old Jacobite. Greek and Ar
menian churches raise their spires to
heaven along with the minarets OF 8
host Of Mohammedan mosques. silk
raising is principal industry, and the
sheaves that the inhabitants bring in
there are sheaves of mulberry leaves
which serve as fodder for the hungry
and rayenous silkworm. Lettuce is o
favorlte article Of diet, and the Turks
eat 1t all day long.
"The DiarbelSr scorpion is as fire.

Mexican tarantula, and thousands are
bitten annually by it. But its venom
is not penetrating like that Of the

 Clarence Dorflinger is drifting from the shaft he has sunk on his ground back of the wireless sta tlon and is getting a little gold. Today he found a nugget weighing s1s0, which Is considered an event put of the ordinary.
 There have been several stam pedes of late. High benches across Livengood from Brooks have been staked for placer, while the crests of the hills are now being staked for quartz. Another stampede to Brooks creek is on, but nothins definite is known. One hole has been sunk on Fish creek, to which there was big stampede two weeks ago, but 1t struck a blank as far as pay dirt is concerned

 Miss Hazel Pauli, who arrived here this week from Fairbanks has taken a stenographical position in the office of United States Commis- sioner Howard J. Atwell.
 "The taking away of the mail service from the Ringseth stage line is a catastrophe to Brooks people. Instead of coming twice week regularly, it struggles h any old time in the week. once per week. And the mall which reached Fairbanks last Tuesday, February 29, will be two weeks late in getting here. Everyone feels it an outrage
 It is reported authoritatively, but not stated in the letter, that Harry Buhro continues to find good pros poets in his Moose creek operations Jack Irvine Is also said to have uncovered some 10-cent dirt on Moose creek.
