to a naughty Betty, whose big, brown
eyes had looked high above his mead
at nothing inparticular.
She was still curled up in the arm
chair gazing meditatively at the nre
when her mother and father returned
from their dinner engagement at
Judge Mapes
"My, but you're home early!" she
exclaimed. did the judge run out OF
stories or did the cook run short on
courses?" A
"Neither, my dear" answered her
father, as he removed his gloves and
slapped them together and held them
tight in his right hand, "but Larry evil
IDENTIFY ran out OF sane amusements
and came near causing his own finish
as we'll as that Of two other people"
"Poor old Larry! What's he.up to
now?" asked Betty indifferently
''He's in the hospital right now, hav'
ing his many bruises dressed, and
poor little chorous girl will be too ner
vous to stand In the front row tonight
and"-with o sly look from under his
frowning eyebrows Fred Markham
has got a smashed roadster, bruised
head and some broken ribs as memen'
toes of his heroism."
Erred Markham! Daddy, tell me
what you meant" There was no lack
OF eagerness now in Betty's big eyes,
as she sprang from her chair and put
hand on each of her fathers should
ers and looked up into his eyes,
well, Fred was driving along in the
park and he saw Larry's little red and
white racer come shooting toward him
like cannon ball and on the same
side of the road as he was. There
was small embankment sloping
down from the road, and Fred tried
to turn his Cur down that embankment
before the racer hit him, but tts4front
wheel struck his back one, and his
machine turned turtle and Larry's
went smash"
"Oh, daddy"-almost in whisper
sis Fred badly hurt? What made him
try to jump the embankment? Why
didn't he cross to the other side Of the
road?"
Betty was puzzled at the questioning
look that passed between her mother
and her father before there was any
answer to her questions.
Because, Betty" said her father
slowly, there was a chance that Larry
also might 60 that way, and as Fred
saw there was girl with Larry he
took no chance because he thought the
girl might be you"
AT that moment, Betty's brother
Jack came busting into the hall and

It beats all how there can be so much deviltry in this world of ours these days; and that with all our institutions of learning busy framing up characters. With universal tendency for re- hgion With all our gospel preachers and fol- lowers with much seeming desire to do good. Yet we are not safe anywhere, not even in our little environment. There are some who are con- stantly planning evil against one another Schem- ing to destroy one anothers tranquility of mind and peace We cannot go anywhere or do any thing but what some one will find fault and set traps for our downfall. Just so some deViltry is perpetrated- seemingly.
 If you don't agree with your neighbor in every respect you become his enemy, and if you agree, you are led by him and you become another's enemy. If you vote for Sulzer you are fool because he is a Democrat and may be snake. If you vote for Wckersham, you are kicker and fault-fnder just like he is. If you favor the vets, you are slave to drink and disreputable cuss If you favor the drys, you are a Kansas crank nut and a menace to liberty. If you eat bacon instead of ham, you don't know what is good. If you favor the allies, you are preiudiced against the Germans. If you favor the Germans, you favor submarine warfare, therefore favor the killing of innocents by the use of gas and bombs and there you are Such being the feel ing the world over, we may well ask; what is a fellow going to do, pray? Seemingly, the only thing for any to do is to do as he durn pleas es, mind his business and let his neighbor go to Jericho if he wants to.

WHAT HE FOUND OUT.

When Congressman Albert Johnson visited Ketchikan not long ago, he made brief investi- gation of the great question relating to the hali- but industry about which he claimed to have heard so much. On his return home, he wrote quite an article about his trip to Alaska in which in part he says:
 'Ketchikan, population 5000 is headquarters
 for the Alaska halibut fishing industry which
 industry is in great danger of being transferred
 body, boots and breeches to the new city of
 Prince Rupert, the Pacific ocean terminus of the
 Grand Trunk Pacific railway The road can make
 any freight rate it desires, and there seems to be
 no doubt that it's directors have set out to se-
 cure the transportation business of Alaska"
 With all this knowledge and besides the knowledge that the Delegate is opposed to the restoration of the industry to Alaska the Con- gressman has repeatedly expressed himself in favor of re-electing Wickersham Delegate from Alaska, and claims to be our friends. There must be something wrong with the Congress- man, we imagine.
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-10-12

that the time has arrived when this question must be disposed of, at least to the extend of knowing who is for and who is against among the candidates for office.
 When the next territorial legislature meets, if all the legislators of the First and Third divis ions favor the separation, but are opposed by the legislators of the Second and Fourth divisions which undoubtedly they would, the next step would be to call an election that the voters may decide. In that case the separation would be assured, the larger number of voters being in the First and Third divisions. From that it fol- lows that we must elect men who favor the idea, and we cannot do that unless we can obtain the views of the respective candidates for election. Let the candidates express themselves on the subject.

NOTHING DOING-YET.

The agitation for the separation of the First and Third divisions of the Territory from the Second and Fourth, is not being taken up with much enthusiasm and the Progressive-Miner seems to be alone for the proposition. The idea may be premature, or it may be a dangerous sub iect to take up for discussion at this time. If it is, we fail to see it in that light We believe

THE MELLOW GLOW.
Suggestive Notes About the Charm Of
LampIieht and Mirrors.

Suggestive Notes About the Charm Of
LampIight and Mirrors.
Somehow or other the idea Of select
ing a lamp as a symbol of magic pow
er was good thought on the part Of
the tale teller who invented Aladdin,
for there is a charm about lamplight
that is hard to resist. AS one woman
who is doomed to high gas brackets in
a boarding house always says: There
are two things which are going to pre-
dominate in my house if | ever have
one of my own, and they are lamps
and mirrors. There will be a low
shaded lamp in every corner and
mirror to reflect it,
Surely the searcher after enChant-
ment will not have hard time of it III
the modern lamp store. Any period,
color scheme and decorative theme
can be matched up in lamp. The
newest additions to these gloom dis
pellers are the japanese lacquer lamps
with shades to match. They are rath-
er tall, but very graceful, and are in
the familiar black lacquer ware, with
its gold and red traceries. The shades
are of heavy prepared paper, echoing
the same lacquered patterns This
matching of shades with stands is not
limited to the japanese lamps. There
are very pretty pottery bases in black
and white or colors which have the
designs repeated upon the paper
shades.
Crackleware standards are unique in
their pebbly cOlored simplicity. They
may be low and bullying or high and
tapering, but they require for effect a
black and white or bright colored shade
on simple lines. Wicker lamps are
pretty for the wicker living room table
or for the bedroom. When they are
enameled in white they often show
dainty silk or chintz lowered shades.
Mahogany stands are very popular
for more formal use. Often they are
wired for electricity, as are all the
others previously mentioned, and are
used with cOored silk shades, shirred
and fringe trimmed. or with a high
colonial glass shade on the order Of
the large glass shaded candlesticks of
bygone days. One of these mahogany
candlesticks has tall glass cup shade
decorated with a small landscape in
tones of sepia.
Floor lamps are coming in again for
more general use. The standards are
often mahogany, oak to match the fur
niture, brass or bronze. A novelty in
these lamps is small smoking tray
and accessories attached to a standard
about halfway to the floor.
